Character Bio
"An alchemist, a botanist, and a wandering scholar. Willow has made it her life's work to understand the nature of the universe and reality itself, so that people might be better helped through sickness, starvation, and strife... through means mundane, medical, or mysterious.  Curious, practical, soft-hearted, and sentimental, Willow's work has kept her solitary and on the move for years, but she cares deeply for other people. She wields a lantern of alchemical fire that helps her focus her transmutation, as well as focus her mind and memory." -- Sludge SMP Character Announcement

Traits
Willow can use a lantern that is permanently bounded to her for both area-of-effect lighting and damage. Enemies that are killed through the lantern's damage drop Memories that Willow can retain and learn from, gaining abilities and buffs through them. However, some Memories are not immediately learned from or useful, and some Memories aren't nice to remember.

Additionally, the dark is much darker to Willow than it is for others, creating a risk for nighttime travels.
