## Appearance
|
|
|
|
Lean, sharp-eyed, and usually carrying a pocketful of pebbles, rush knots, or stolen nails. Tam's boots are always muddy, even when they should not be.
|
|
|
|
## Personality
|
|
|
|
Tam is brave in the unhelpful way children sometimes are: drawn toward what adults keep trying to hide. They are quick to trust anyone who treats them seriously.
|
|
|
|
## Goals & Motivations
|
|
|
|
- Understand the dreams that keep leading them toward the hill
|
|
- Prove they are not cursed
|
|
- Find out why the buried bell gave them a key made of root and peat
|
|
|

## Secrets
|
|
|
|
Tam has already opened the hidden western door once in a dream and returned with a phrase they do not remember saying awake: "the road is waiting to be named again."
