Mara Thornfield
[!info] Quick Reference Role: Headwoman of Briarcross Location: campaigns/the-hollow-between/locations/briarcross Public face: Practical, unsentimental, deeply tired
Appearance
Broad-shouldered, mud-spattered, and always carrying a ring of keys she never lets anyone else touch. Her clothes are plain and durable, but she wears a silver ferry token on a cord at her throat.
Personality
Mara is steady, guarded, and sharper than she first appears. She dislikes panic, hates performative courage, and trusts competence more than charm.
Goals & Motivations
- Keep Briarcross intact through the current crisis
- Restore the old customs strongly enough to quiet the bell
- Prevent outsiders from turning the village into a story people tell elsewhere
Connections
- Relies on campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/brother-hale for ritual knowledge she does not admit believing in
- Distrusts campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/ysa-of-the-reeds even when Ysa is correct
- Feels protective anger toward campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/tam-rowan
Secrets
Mara's family has quietly maintained one part of the old bargain for generations: someone in her line must carry the bridge keys and keep the western hill path closed after the first bell. She has recently failed to do this twice.
