Twyla Witherspoon

Twyla Witherspoon is a shopkeeper, the owner of a store called "Twyla's Odds and Ends", who resides in Plort.

Backstory
Twyla Witherspoon was not always worthy of residence in the Protectorate of Plort, as she had only just recently started caring about the Marizu and their deeds. Her voyage to Weab started early; at age eleven she unknowingly inspired a small band of Marizu in the country of Staar-Wos. She also caused the existence of Sueish monstrosities in Mayen Croft (a large and mainly Marizu area of Vidya Gaym) and the Airi-junal Islands. Only one or two years ago, she very nearly avoided the inspiration of more Marizu bands in Tiu Fort (also in Vidya Gaym) and Sti Venkeen. None of these things affect Twyla's conscience, and what little of it finished the journey to Weab was kept in the small but wild nation of Sk'ratsh. Indeed, she cannot wait to announce her knowledge to her fellow citizens of Borrd and thus open them to attack!

Twyla discovered Plort, specifically Wechi, through absentmindedly attempting to divine images of the Marizu in a bowl of Guggle fluid. Curious, she set off for Wechi, and immediately knew that Plort was where she wanted to stay. Upon her entry in Borrd, she caused a bit of commotion in front of Baron Huinesoron himself due to her misreading a book of Plort's history. She is still rather embarrassed about the incident, but has come to reside in Borrd rather nicely.

Currently, Twyla is a shopkeeper who sells artwork, weapons, travel guides for several Airi-junal Islands, and souvenirs from the District of Eidsaf'twaer in Vidya Gaym, which she visits a lot, especially a castle called Wolfreidi. She is currently in the process of creating a set of weapons and tactical gear for herself, relentlessly improving her combat skills so that one day she can try and apply for knighthood.

Heraldry
Twyla's heraldry violates the Rule of Tincture, and as such, upon being asked, Twyla will say that the reason for why it looks the way it does is that "the flaunches represent my stepping through the doorway from the darkness of Marizu territory to the bright lands of Plort." The real reason is that most doors in castle Wolfreidi are in fact blue, and other objects (such as keys, walls, and an entire suit of armor specially reserved for the Lord of Darkness) made of strange blueish metal abound in the castle. Black and red are also frequent members of the general color scheme of the castle's interior.

Personality
Twyla is friendly and maintains several long-time friendships, loves creating pretty much anything, and values rationality and knowledge to a fault. Said fault has led her to many unscrupulous parts of Weab, and that in turn skewed her worldview quite a bit for the past few years. After taking time off to make a spiritual journey, she is currently recovering from said past, working toward self-improvement, and repairing the weapons that were affected. Twyla also has a passionate love for music, having been practically raised on it, and plays the [Plort equivalent of a bassoon, if an equivalent is needed]. She simultaneously despises and is amused by the Marizu (being easily amused by anything of poor quality) and has a personal vendetta against Princess Barbirosa of the land of Yung Fi-Mael (for being a canon who is quite obviously affiliated with them and "for being the world's worst unintentional promoter of Darknessism").
