The Forest, she holds many secrets.
From periods of destruction to eras of peace and everything in between. She has seen many faces, healed from many wounds, and exists in a state perfect neutrality despite it all. Some secrets remain eternal mysteries, while others have steadily become the unearthed gifts for a budding new age.
Kells was once home to a race of beings possessing great ingenuity, nearly a century ago. Clever and complex, they built their lives out of the world around them. Some created with respect to the realm while others abused the bounty, and soon the land began to wither... In the end, balance would restore itself and all the beings would come to know extinction; The ultimate price of their own greed.
But out of that loss comes the tale of our Trinket.
Having learned the trade from her mother, who was one of the first to possess an artifact of the past, Trinket has devoted her life to the procuring, and trading, of wearable rarities. She is kindly in her approach and because of that generations of crafters travel great distances to both deal with and acquire from her wares. For Trinket, as it was for her mother, there is more joy to be found in the sharing of history over the coveting of it.
But her methods of procurement are no secret, though some may argue otherwise. Having inherited alliances with the ravens, many of her shinier objects come in by way of sky. And the articles that are larger, perhaps hidden beneath the soil itself, find their way into collection through well-established relations forged by many a Dire kin. Yet some still speculate times when the very heart of Kells opens wide its veil that would separate her from her treasures, as if eager to see the wounds of its past take on new memories.
Regardless, beyond what charms are crafted straight from the berries and leaves of the woods, most items she comes across are free for any to find, gather, and distribute and yet none are as skilled a hunter of relics as she…
And... eerily enough...nearly all are likely to find her long before finding their items of adornment.
