PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What is known
Morrowl records the condition of the paths at Reedwater Gardens in Glassweather Reach, noting wet ground, blocked passages and stretches that need another look. The squat recorder works from sheltered edges, allowing each small change time to become clear. Heavy-lidded and easily overwhelmed by commotion, Morrowl prefers a careful note to a hurried assurance. The work is patient observation, not a claim to control the gardens or predict their weather.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation

- Top-heavy and temple-bell shaped: a broad skull tapering into a squat folded body, with the crest on top and hand-like forelimbs spread wide at the base.
- Scale
- Reads as small to medium in overall size, but with an exaggerated head-to-body ratio. The eyes occupy an unusually large share of the face, while the torso and limbs feel compressed and sturdy.
- Material

- Colour
- #6E7F68, #A2B39A, #C9D1B8, #4E4035, #1A1715
OCCUPATION & CHARACTER
Garden-path condition recorder
It appears grumpy and resistant, but its endurance suggests a deeper softness: it keeps tolerating nearness long after a truly hostile creature would have left or struck.
WANTS
- quiet control over its immediate surroundings
- to avoid being overwhelmed or handled too quickly
- gentle familiarity rather than attention
FEARS
- sudden noise or chaotic motion
- being cornered or made into a spectacle
- having its signals ignored until it must overreact
HABITS
- settling into low corners or sheltered edges
- holding very still while tracking with its eyes
- spreading its hands wide before shifting position
- expressing displeasure in small visible changes rather than dramatic action
SOURCE ANCHORS
- The enormous paired eyes with dark, melting-looking upper lids and small hanging pupils
- The long, narrow, black nose slit descending through the center of the face
- The tiny downturned mouth, separate from the nose and set low on the face
- The crown-like nub or fleshy crest at the top of the head
- The low crouched body with broad splayed hands planted forward beneath a mass of folds
