d8	Personality Trait
1	I just want to be gardening...
2	I am enamored by all of the unique sights, sounds, scents, and sensations of the world around me!
3	Plants don't talk much, and neither do I.
4	Speaking regularly to houseplants improves their health and growth. Maybe the same works with people?
5	I show great compassion to people I barely know if they are injured, speaking in calming and gentle tones.
6	I am all too enthusiastic to study the various plantlife of the world, for beneficial properties, of course.
7	I meticulously sift through my equipment when I am bored, ensuring I know what I have and where it is located when emergency happens.
8	I'm sort of like a potato. Kind of bland, not the prettiest, but I am robust, adaptable, and even if you don't admit it, you love me.

d6	Ideal
1	Balance. We take from the world around us daily, it is how we live. One day, we will have to return what we have taken. (Neutral)
2	Care. If simply grinding leaves and roots into a poultice can help others so much, how much could I do for others if I tried? (Good)
3	Experimentation: Not every medical treatment has been found, more are being invented and discovered, I just have to find mine. (Any)
4	Sadism: I have an odd enjoyment for the screams I cause in my treatments, and the fact I can get away with rough treatment. (Evil)
5	Patience. To ensure a proper yield of herbs, one must resist the desire to harvest at first signs of growth. People are much the same. (Lawful)

d6	Flaw
1	If a plant could be useful, I will always take it with me, no matter how foul it smells.
2	Those who rely on magical healing earn my pity, I know they're incapable of helping others without their magic.
