Freeland: New Unity - Willow Character Reference

Share

As I did with Armada, here's a reference sheet for one of the compatriots you can have join your party in Freeland: New Unity. A Dryad from the Kiinolth tribe, separated from her family at a young age Willow was and forced into servitude. You can free her from captivity (in a multitude of ways, some more palatable than others) and help her make the long trek back home.


Willow is a healer through-and-through, providing the party with a stream of regenerative health and stat buffs. Due to her gentle nature, she is not the most combat-adept compatriot, though she isn't completely averse to defending herself. As a member of the party, she is often a high-priority target for more intelligent enemies, so make sure to guard her closely. Besides her role as a healer, Willow is also an asset to your party's exploratory capabilities. She has experienced many of northern Freeland's environments and peoples during her time in captivity, and is able to use her knowledge as a navigator and translator in the Pioneer's party.


Her clothing draws heavily from dresses and patterns made by the Shoshone tribe. The materials it is made from (wool and dyed porcupine quills) also exhibit this (most Shoshone clothing, especially in the early 18th century, was made from deer skin, however. Since dryads are plants with little need to hunt, I instead decided instead that the cloth was made from the wool of domesticated sheep, drawn from the Mountain Shoshone's preference for sheep).
