IC INFORMATION
Character Name: Portentia "Poppy" Poppyfield
Species: Half-halfling, half-human
Canon: Original (D&D)
Canon Point: On the way from the capital city to go investigate the cat & dog murders
Character Age: physically 24, but she was turned to stone for 37 years
CRAU: does it count as CRAU if she was in this game before?
CRAU Explanation: Poppy spent 10 months in Somnius when she was 16. Due to her petrification, her mind is scrambled and she has lost many memories. I will be using this mechanic to have her forget her previous time in game. The longer she is in game and is confronted with people, places, and things she used to know, the more these memories will resurface.
Character Appearance: here – though please note that due to her halfling blood, Poppy is only 4'4".
Powers and Abilities:Poppy is a wizard, focusing on Divination magic, which means she learns magic spells by studying and copying written spells into her spellbook. Divination spells focus on things like predicting the future, extrasensory perception, and reading people's minds. She also has certain abilities that she gets from being part halfling. A full write up of all the spells, magic items, and abilities Poppy has access to is here.

What Did Your Character Wish For? To be rid of the lich beholder Zerox once and for all.
What Potion Did They Receive? Red (lightning)
Did They Drink It? Not yet. Now that she's older and more experienced, she's a lot more careful about drinking unknown potions. Once it is proven to be safe, she might consider it.

Character Questions:
1. Who is the person your character is most bonded with from their canon? Or who is someone they miss the most?

At this point, with little to no memories of her life before being petrified by the beholder Zerox, Poppy is most closely bonded with the three adventurers who freed her from that state: Erlenmeyer Vox, the kobold artificer/warlock; Celes Winterborn, the eladrin druid; and Tog, the orc fighter. She is close with each of them for different reasons. She and Celes have bonded over being the two girls of the party, she and Vox have bonded over being the two smallfolk of the party, and she and Tog especially bonded when the pair of them spent time investigating a mystery together in the Imperial capital of Espara, and cracked the case while Vox and Celes were off doing other things.

As for who she misses the most, she misses the concept of family. She doesn't remember her family, but logically she knows she has one. Out of all the memories she is missing, the memory of who her family is is the most pressing to her.

2. What are they most afraid of?

After having a recent run-in with Zerox' death tyrant form, Poppy is most afraid that the lich beholder who petrified her will be able to revive and wreak havoc on her life once more. While she's fairly confident that she and her friends have defeated Zerox for good, there is still a lingering fear in the back of her mind that he may again return, and so she is using her Grand Wish to ensure that he never does.

3. What is their weakness? Emotionally, mentally and physically?

Emotionally, Poppy is mercurial and headstrong. She changes her mind according to her mood, and her stubborn streak and lack of ability to read the room makes it hard for her to make friends. The only reason she has bonded so quickly with Vox, Tog, and Celes is because they are sort of outcasts themselves, who piss people off just as often as they endear themselves to them.

As a wizard, Poppy is mentally very intelligent, however after being petrified for nearly four decades, her mind is scrambled to all hell. Any attempts to magically read her mind would do more damage than good. Until she can sort out her mind and regain her memories, this is her biggest mental weakness.

Physically, Poppy is just overall very weak. Wizards are not trained to be physically strong, as they rely on magic to protect them. She has very little experience in fighting or defending herself without the use of magic, and she is quite fragile.

4. What would make them happiest?

Poppy would be happiest if she could regain her memories, and reunite with the family who she has forgotten and left behind. At this point, she doesn't even know if her family is still alive, let alone if they have any idea what has happened to her. As grateful as she is to her partymates for accepting her into their little band, she longs to remember the life she lived before, if only to solve the mystery of who she used to be.

5. What’s their type for a lover?

Poppy has never been all that interested in romance or intimacy. As a child, she was too focused on her studies, and on researching ways to be free of her contract. As a young adult after leaving Lord Keswick's employ, she was too taken up with the excitement of being able to live her lifelong dream of being an adventure to think about settling down with any lover. Since being unpetrified, Poppy just simply hasn't had much opportunity to encounter anyone romanceable. Celes is already engaged, Vox is too old for her, and while Tog's earnest enthusiasm is endearing, he's a bit too oafish for her tastes.
