Thorn

Thorn is a fae knight that travels with Cypress. They are brave, excitable and absolutely precious. They are also a hedgehog, albeit one that fits in Cypress' bag and is not spiky, allowing anyone and everyone to pet them.They originally found Cypress as part of a search for a suitable wife for the reigning fae queen, Siobhan. After Cypress had agreed with Siobhan to revisit the question of marriage once Cypress had lived out their natural human lifespan, Thorn was instructed to accompany her and serve as a messenger between Cypress and Siobhan, as well as being an excellent repository of knowledge and occasionally saving the day in combat.

History
Not much is known about Thorn's history as yet. They have extensive knowledge of the various relationships between magical species and affiliations within Thistlewood, and can be assumed to share in the unnaturally long lifespans that all fairies in Thistlewood seem to enjoy.

Abilities
Thorn can grow into a large, dense wall of moss, about ten feet wide. This has been useful on a number of occasions, as the weight of the wall can squish opponents (and allies), as well as dislodging them from inconvenient places. This ability also allowed them to cause a gumshark to explode, as they were thrown into its mouth and expanded into the wall while in its stomach.
