Shaena Greenbottle

Overview
Shaena Greenbottle is a stout halfling and cleric of Matron who joined the Ember Sentinels after spending the first two decades of her adult life in various refugee villages around the Foglands.

Personality
Shaena is a kind, friendly woman with a motherly personality. She worries over and warmly chides warriors who make careless errors. While typically genial, she grows more determined on the battlefield; barking orders and shouting at much higher volumes than her small form would suggest.

Early Life
Originally a refugee in the remains of Gentaria, she assisted her priest father in healing the wounded Sentinels and guards that rested at their hometown. She was one of the escapees of the town's destruction, and joined the Sentinels shortly after.

Ember Sentinels
Her healing talents gave her an edge and made her a valuable member of strike teams and multi-day patrols. This eventually gained the attention of Matron, who appeared to her in a dream and granted her rudimentary cleric powers. Shaena wasn't a grunt for long after that; for her heroism and quick-thinking actions in multiple battles at Parverhill Outpost, Shaena was made captain of the tower she came to call home.

Fantasy Lit Group
Shaena met with the Fantasy Literature Group shortly after their first summoning to meet with Ereviar Liavaris and his orders to hunt down perytons. She pulled them into a small supply closet (no small feat for a halfling) and told them of her suspicions and his refusal to allow her to treat his wounded arm.

Superior Officers
Ereviar Liavaris—while she respected her high elf commander in times past for his skill on the battlfield and devotion to his post, she has since lost significant respect for him after loss of his arm to a ghoul bite. She believes that it has affected his mind, and that his refusal to be treated represents a dangerous lack of judgement indicative that he is no longer fit for his position. Despite this, she is thankful that she has someone close by who she may defer to or ask advice in times of trouble.

Vistra Bruicksture—growing up, Shaena heard legends of the mighty dwarf commander who feared no dead and would forgo sleep, limb, and even life itself for the betterment of the Foglands. Meeting the woman in person after she joined was an early disappointment that quickly became awed respect when Bruicksture wielded her magical prowess to single-handedly decimate a Beholder Zombie during a rescue mission outside Middlesborough. Deep down, Shaena believes that the commander can solve nearly any problem, and the Ember Sentinels exist to give the other Gentarians hope and act as her surrogate—because even the commander can't be everywhere.

Subordinates
Shaena acts maternally with most of her men. She is known as "Mamma Greenbottle" by most, a nickname she secretly adores. She regards few of the battle-hardened fighters as children, but does consider them her charges and believes that their lives rest in her hands—a responsibility she considers incredibly important, and one that weighs heavily on her every day.

Husband
Shaena is married to Churg, an orc and leader of the stewards of Parverhill Outpost. They met shortly after she was stationed there in 5E 573, and married a year later. They have been a power couple there ever since, especially after her promotion to captain.
