A healer played by johnm in Under The Dome.
Sharone Devereaux of Windlet is Charitable, Humble, Fastidious, Congenial, Cautious, and Easy to Read. She's of comfortable wealth, and is neither attractive nor unattractive. Her Patron is an Elven Master Healer.
She lives/lived in a cozy house with a backyard garden, from which she harvests the herbs she needs to perform healing incantations to assist with injuries and diseases in the city.
Visions
- Battle-weary warrior, after the fray, lamenting the mass casualties around him. Sharone is frustrated by being ujnable to communicate with or provide any aid.
- Man with a drowned daughter on the beach, surrounded by elementals. After initial frustration, Sharone begs the air elemental to breathe life back within the girl. Something happens, the girl coughs up water, is alive again! Sharone awakens with a new spell in her arsenal: Purify Air
- Villagers watch a woman and her children in a boat get dashed against the rocks in a storm. Mother barely survives, children all lost. She does not speak or eat or drink for three days. On her deathbed, Sharone approaches, the villagers begging for her help. Sharone summons broth, sits the woman up, realizes this will not be enough. She asks everyone present to think of their love for the mother, and then, channels their love into her, healing her aura. When she awakens and dons her healer's robe, it magically grows a new blue stripe along each sleeve.
- In the final battle with the necromancers, Sharone was grappled by a psychotically-enraged and hateful witch. Helpless in her clutches, Sharone looked into her eyes and projected perfect love, universal compassion. She drifted into a vision, in which shards of aspected magic were all within her grasp, and that she could mend anything. The wretched necro recoiled from her, and collapsed, revealing her true form, of an ordinary grubby villager.
