Norixius Jheri

Norixius Jheri is one of the original three members of the Omniventuring Co. Jheri is a druid of the Circle of the Moon.

Earnest, forward, and trusting, Jheri loves meeting people wherever Omnias’ jobs take the Co. But, despite her best efforts, Jheri is just as likely to alienate and bewilder those she tries to befriend as she is to successfully gain their goodwill. Having grown up isolated in her clan’s distant city, Jheri is socially inexperienced and oblivious to the unconventionality of some of her beliefs and habits. In most areas of her life, Jheri prioritizes helping and caring for those she feels connected to. However, though she is the sole member of the Omniventuring Co. capable of healing magic, she is driven and analytical enough in combat to ignore that responsibility if she judges that she could do more damage to her enemy than benefit to her ally. She has a tendency to be swept up in the excitement of manipulating magic and, in particular, revels in the elemental magic she wields—much to Jal’s dismay and occasional bodily harm.

Appearance
As a bronze dragonborn, Jheri’s scales are a deep rusted gold, tinged with blue-green at their tips. The scales around her hazel eyes are a lighter gold than on the rest of her body. Jheri is among the minority of dragonborn to possess a tail. Except for when Jheri is particularly happy or relaxed (such as when speaking with Tevan), her tail is wrapped anxiously around her right leg, so as not to trip the people around her.

Jheri has no hair except for eyelashes—light-gold like the scales around her eyes—and a ridge of thick horns that begins at the crown of her head and descends to the small of her back, continuing again from the base to the tip of her tail. At 6 foot 11 inches, Jheri is tall for a young dragonborn. Her customary stoop, constant hand-wringing, willowy physique, and breathlessly earnest demeanor somewhat diminish the startling effect of her height, yet, when not in the company of those she considers friends, Jheri often adopts small, compact animal forms in order to divert attention from her presence.

History
Jheri grew up in Bahrix Proxa, a sprawling city to the northwest of the continent which is home to several dragonborn clans—including her own, the Norixius. Bahrix Proxa derives its name from the dragon-god Bahamut, to whom the clans of the city are zealously devoted. Jheri stumbled onto the path to druidism at a young age after meeting an awakened shrub while playing alone in the woods surrounding Bahrix Proxa. Ever since, Jheri’s dominant interest has been the druid art of wild shaping. As an adolescent, she focused on attaining as many animal forms as she could. Now that she has left her clan to pursue her maturity quest, she is seeking ever more challenging forms—magical forms—and her ultimate goal remains unlocking the secret to wild-shaping into an adult dragon.
