Esmeralde

Known as the Healer, Esmeralde concocts herbal remedies from dried roots and herbs infused with crystal dyed waters. Her special talent is harnessing the healing quality of the crystals. She can cure and poison with her mixtures and was much feared and respected in the days of old. When the potluck broke up, she went underground to preserve her craft and avoid persecution by the Northland Guard.

Her current disguise is as a gypsy healer who follows craft fairs and traveling shows, selling cough and cold medicines, ointments for rashes and other ailments and delivers the occasional baby. At home in a special kitchen, she makes her tinctures and salves and sees people with small problems in a front room of her house and people with horrible afflictions out back.

She is cahoots with Indigo Rose who tended the potluck garden when they were all living at the potluck so long ago. Together they can heal or hurt at whim, but they keep this to themselves.
