Amaryllis 'Mary' Marblebridge, Halfling Merchant (plus 8 hidden moths!) (Patreon)

A cute halfling commoner I painted on commission recently! Can you find the 8 moths hiding in there? :)

Character: Amaryllis 'Mary' Marblebridge, Halfling Merchant (plus 8 hidden moths!)

Mary is a fun-loving halfling known for love for comfort and quiet, noteworthy even among her halfling kin. Thanks to the specialized nature of her work, she has traveled extensively between the various towns of Lurien, always taking care to enjoy the same handful of carefully selected and cozy burrows.

Mary’s love of gears and inventions rivals that of any Gondish gnome. After spending half a decade as an apprentice to a like-minded mentor and a full decade running her own business, the uncharacteristically unadventurous woman decided to attend a symposium and exposition of tinkerers, architects, and inventors in far off Lantan, thus embarking on her singular vacation in her happy and content life outside of her homeland. Alongside two childhood friends, she chartered a human ship and began the journey of a lifetime!

Sadly, Mary and her friends found themselves shipwrecked and stranded on a mysterious and magical island that seemed to keep everyone trapped upon its shores. They sought out and eventually found civilization, but she was the only one that survived the endeavor.

She sought to ignore her grief and the trauma of constant death in a town of survivors. The best way to do so? Build herself a new burrow and jump into rediscovering old inventions, remembering the joy and frustration of inspiration for the things she knew how to make in far better conditions.

Her vacation has certainly taken an unexpected turn, but Mary strives to remain sane and happy despite her losses, difficult as that may be...

What do you think? :)

P.S. Did you find the 8 hidden moths?
