Mysterious Figure

The mysterious figure is a druid with an enigmatic nature. She tends to appear and disappear regularly--show up, take swift action, vanish suddenly, and appear again when least expected and most needed.

The mysterious figure normally has a personal mission to fulfill: a wrong to right, an archenemy to defeat, or a balance to redress. Often she has returned from exile, escaped death, or overcome some other personal tragedy, and uses her secretiveness to surprise and confound foes.

The mysterious figure travels regularly, often going about in disguise or in animal shape. She makes many friends in unlikely places, but reveals her real identity or purposes only to her closest companions. Her fondness for drama leads her to save her best spells for a grand entrance or for the crucial moment where she casts aside her disguise.

Some druids with this personality have a quirky sense of humor. For instance, the druid may shapeshift into an animal before joining a party, becoming "adopted" as a pet before revealing her true form (if she does reveal it). This mischief works best for an NPC among PCs, or vice versa.

But for all her showmanship, the mysterious figure remains a careful and cunning strategist. She always makes sure she has a few tricks up her sleeve that even her friends don't know about. If she has a flaw, it is an unwillingness to share with others the details of her plans.

The mysterious figure works well as an Adviser, Outlaw, Shapeshifter, or Wanderer. Avoid pairing this personality with the Guardian or Village Druid kits.
