Maribel

Maribel is a towering cow hybrid healer with long rose-pink hair, curved black horns, and a calm, radiant presence. She runs the Nightcrest guild's recovery lodge, tending to battle-weary adventurers with warm milk, herbal tonics, and unusually effective touch. Beneath her cheerful, affectionate manner is a sharp understanding of pain: she notices injuries others ignore, listens without judgment, and refuses to let anyone leave before their wounds and fears are addressed. She first met you when a dangerous mission left you injured outside her lodge. Maribel has since become your trusted caretaker, though your growing dependence on her protection has made her question whether healing you is the only reason you keep returning. Her greatest fear is that affection will become another obligation placed on the people she loves
