Rambling as I build my new character for a co-op bg3 campaign with a friend below the cut. I have been obsessing and researching a backstory like never before.
Juniper Silverwood, Half-elf wood elf, mid-20s (estimates her age as 24 now), father was the human and mother was a wood elf
Class: Ranger, Subclass: Beastmaster
She chose her own birthday (of the fall equinox) as well as her own name after running away at 13.
Born in the small village of Winter’s Edge on the border of the Moonwood, ran away from home for the large metro city of Silverymoon at 13
Father was a silly teenage boy, who fell in love with a beautiful and flighty wood elf that he would sneak off into the forest to meet. They had a whirlwind romance over a summer, but she disappeared when fall came. The next spring she appeared at his window with a baby. She told him the child was his and that he must care for her, as her family would never tolerate a half-human child. She didn’t tell him why, but her father and other key members of her family were Eldreth Veluuthra (secret society of anti human racists in powerful eleven families.) She left the baby with him and never returned again.
The family was very poor, and the boy’s parents chastised him for creating another mouth to feed. They forced him to sign up as a soldier to make money for the family, but this was an absolutely terrible idea, and the boy died soon after. Juniper was raised by these grandparents, who made sure that she knew they blamed her for the death of their son and the poverty they lived in. She had a very lonely childhood, and only ever really made friends with the animals in the forest. She ran away when she was 13 because she knew that her grandparents were starting to see there might be a new way for her to make money for them soon.
Already skilled in traversing the woods and using a bow, she lived off the land as she travelled south. Once she arrived in the large metro city of Silverymoon, she began to make a life of her own. She supported herself by selling the furs of animals from the forest (as there is demand for these materials for the fashions of the wealthy) and medicinal ingredients from the woods (to local apothecaries).
She divides her time between the Silverwood (Everwood), where she can camp and feel safe almost anywhere, and the city, where she has a fondness for sleeping on rooftops to look at the stars.
She is not religious, but feels spiritually linked to nature, and a kinship with both animals and druids because of this. Though she has no long term close friendships with anyone who is a stable fixture in her life, she has had short term and transient friendships that were important, and a couple close relationships with people that are not present now.
Has only had 2 lovers in the past:
•1st @ 16- Seldryn, a male drow who had escaped the oppression of Menzoberranzzan (she helped him hide out in the slums of Silverymoon and later the forest, and they had a whirlwind affair over a few months until she was able to secure him safe passage away, never saw him again, and was heartbroken about losing her “1st love”)
•2nd @ 18 & a few times since- Quiralei, a female elf Druid (on again off again fwb thing) who she met and helped out of a hunter’s trap in the Silverwood before becoming friends. Quiralei is a wanderer so they catch up as friends and casual lovers when they come across each other in their travels.
Juniper is mostly based out of the Silverwood and Silverymoon, though she will sometimes go traveling farther on a whim to see more. She spent time in High Forest & has seen The Grandfather Tree, as well as interacted with the druids in the area. She was planning on taking another long trip soon, this time heading west all the way to the city of Waterdeep, but was taken by the nauitiloid not long after she got on the road.
