Backstory
Tulip is a Firbolg that came from a village far away. She's shown interest in helping people since she's been a little girl. Having shown magical potential has a child, she has studied magic and has learned healing spells and medicine. She has a big scarred spot on her right upper arm (black pudding), another running up her left cheek (battle scar), a notch missing near the end of her right ear where her earing got ripped out, and a missing ring finger on her right hand which she keeps hidden with a minor image ring.

Tulip has two brothers and a sister (Even know Firbolgs don't have names, I gave them some to make it easier): - Umeris is the youngest and is her younger brother (34) - Tulip is the second youngest (42) - Quirie is the second youngest and the older sister (46) - Daejeon is the oldest and the older brother (55)

Their parents are fairly young for Firbolgs. (Mom is 76 and Dad is 82)

Since Firbolgs don't have a name, when she was first asked for her name, Tulip panicked a little. She just saw tulips growing nearby and it just came out. Same for her last name. Tulip was but a young Firbolg, and was helping a cousin gather medicinal plants in the wild. They were headed for a cave near their village known for growing a specific kind of mushrooms, to be able to make some ointments.

When she was young and adventurous, Tulip wandered off in the caves and got lost in the multitude of tunnels. Eventually, she ended up in a giant opening, filled with glowing mushrooms of various colours: blue, pink, purple, and yellow. While entranced by a beautiful shiny blue mushroom, Tulip noticed some black stuff running on the wall behind it. Some of it dripped on the mushroom, from somewhere on the ceiling, and it started bubbling.

At that moment, Tulip's cousin found her, but a black pudding ooze dropped from the ceiling right between the both of them. It splashed, and some of it's icky black tar went on Tulip's arm, melting the flesh away. She screamed while clutching her arm. Her cousin quickly made his way around the ooze, and casted invisibility on the both of them while dragging the both of them out of the cave. After having made their way out, Tulip's arm had a spot melted to the bone and she passed out.

The next day, she woke up in her bed. Her arm was back to normal, except for the part that had gotten eaten away by the ooze: the area was now a very dark blue. Her arm would be scarred for the rest of her life.

After years of learning the limited knowledge her village had to offer, of magic and plants, she set out on her own (at 18) in search of more knowledge. After traveling for two years, she stumbled upon a temple. It was the temple of the Goddess Eldath: the Goddess of Peace. It is where she decided to become a cleric. Even though her village wouldn't approve of her new religion, she decided to loan her faith to her new God so she could help more people in the end.

In her time at the temple, she made some friends: - A blue and orange, tiny, little frog named Gunther the Gorf - A pink Tiefling, with a bejeweled tailed, named Soranima Stonebreaker

She met Sora on her fourth year at the temple. Soranima had heard about Tulip's great healing powers, and came to her with a request to help her modify her tail. Having been raised by dwarves, Sora had quite the collection of gems. She asked Tulip to help her incrust all the gems into her tail.

After two years of research on the matter, and a few days of work, they managed to bedazzle Sora's tail with all the gems and jewels. As a thanks, Sora gave Tulip a big heart shaped crystal opal. (Which she keeps in her shinies pouch)

In those two years spent together, Tulip grew quite fond of the Tiefling, but was ever too shy to say anything. Sadly, she never quite was able to do so. After two years at the temple, Soranima had to leave. She receive an urgent message from her people, and had to go help them. She left Tulip with a kiss, and a heavy heart, but promised to eventually come back. Tulip waited for two years, but she never came back.

On the day of her tenth year at the temple, Tulip left. She had gotten her fill of knowledge, and the temple was just a sad reminder of her love for Sora.

She travelled around for twelve years, hopping around from temple to temple in cities, until she found the Rabid Skylarks, and decided to join their party to go adventuring.

'When she first met the party, we had to hide a body, so I wrote this thing on the tune of Do you want to build a snowman?'':

Do you want to hide a body? Maybe cut off a hand or two? Can't stand the smell anymore Throw it out the door! We have to put it away!!

We just wanted some info... But now they're dead What are we going to do?

Do you want to hide a body? Come out and help me hide a body!'''

'''I got notes saying Bhaus is spelled like rock? Apparently? He also joins the Skylarks the same day as Tulip.'''

During a job that required us to clear a house full of cats, Tulip ended up adopting one of them: a black and white tuxedo cat which she named Gilgamesh.

A few days after, Arynn joins the party, when we go looking for her missing alcohol shipment. She seems to know Bhaus.

'''I found a poem in my notes that I think is related to Tulip

There's a shiny out there just for me We will find it, even if I brink insanity I can see it clearly in my head I'll keep searching till I fall over dead The stars and the squares Searching in despair Cause I can't help feeling That we almost had it there

We got to find them all Find all the shinies I want them all inside my hand So I can have the perfect team '''
