"We like the turning of seasons change with it."
Introduction
A study in kindness, Anhae is a representation of the seasons she loves dearly. She grew up in the Wyrdwood her mother was the Nymph of the woods and she learned much of her skills and love for nature and the world around it from her. She learned how to be kind to the wee folks, she learned the ways of the fey, it was in her blood after all or so her mother said. She was sought out by The golden hearted when she aided him with no thought of gain. He asked her to attend the quest for the Phoenix.
Her deeper connection to the world aided her, and she was able to give solace to the girl who would manifest as the phoenix as there is a time for all things. She offered to step into the flames with her when she had to go, as an offering since Ancient Rites, are also sacred to her.
Having lived through the cycle she has a keen understanding of it. She is both thoughtful and kind, she favors woodland creatures over humanity, but still considers it her duty to mind them.
