Who is Maedrey Puck?
Character Description
Maedrey Puck is a lightfoot halfling cleric of the Aevalorn Parishes, a Child of Yondalla.
In her sixties, she walks with a limp and relies on a weirdly-curved juniper wood staff to hobble around. She has piercing olive eyes, a smattering of black freckles, and a pock-marked face.
I often describe her as having many strands of tight box braids interlaced with crushable metal and bone beads; in writing the character, she may turn to these items for spell components when her focus, the juniper wood staff, is out of reach.
I write her as a devout eccentric - totally off of her rocker - who uses her very twisted sense of justice and wisdom to protect halflings; honestly, she is just as likely to drown someone as baptize them.
She exists in the past as a contemporary of Skyer Dannon and her stories generally concern a time when the Aevalorn Parishes started having more frequent contact with the human City States of Gaelwyn.
Her name of Puck is deliberate and refers to the character in Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Stories
As a cleric, I use this character to explore spiritual and moral themes. I find her fun to write because she’s sly, crafty, and tuned to the metaphysical world.
She made her first appearance in the Ballad of Skyer Dannon and her first dedicated story was The Pig King.
