Sohalia
The Oerwoud had been mostly kind to Sohalia thus far, but her recent encounter with a Ceffyl Dŵr had left her a bit warier than she'd ever been before. As she walked amongst the trees and vines of the jungle, she kept a watchful eye on the woods around her, determined not to be taken so by surprise a second time. Perhaps, once she had traveled back to civilization, it would be time to begin some self-defense classes. She didn't love the concept, being a peaceful sort of woman, but it seemed to her now that if she was going to wander alone, she might as well make sure she could take care of herself!
She paused near a stream that cut a swath through the jungle, eyeing the water warily. It didn't seem like the type of place for a Ceffyl Dŵr to make its home - she could imagine them more easily back at the Mistbanks, where there was open water and room to successfullymurder someone catch their prey. She'd always been taught that all creatures had a place in the world, but the Ceffyl Dŵr had made her question that for the first time. What was their purpose, aside from killing foolish travelers? Like you, whispered a voice in the back of her mind, and she shuddered.
Still, it wasn't like Sohalia to remain glum for long, and as she settled herself by the water's edge for a drink from its clear waters, she found herself effortlessly cheering. It was a beautiful Flowerbirth day, and she was going to make the most of it.
Looking around, she recognized a particular bush: a blushberry bush, a smallish plant with bright blue flowers and bright yellow berries. She grinned, wondering what it would be like to eat the berries. She wasn't normally a particularly shy person, but she knew that consuming the berries would turn her into one. She hesitated for but a moment before reaching into the plant, plucking a yellow berry from its stem, and popping it into her mouth.

Blushberry Bush (common): A smallish bush with bright blue flowers and clusters of bright yellow, edible berries. When eaten, a chemical in the berries causes cheeks to blush and obvious bashfulness in behaviour.
