Nickname(s) "Flower inphernal" (By The Broker) Flowers (By Scythe) Vine (By Shuriken) Height: 6'1" / 185 cm Age: 23 Birthday: 20 March Vine Staff was unnaturally spawned in Thieves' Den, immediately before her younger sibling Shuriken, to their two caretakers. Vine Staff was spawned with an unusual mutation where the entirety of her left arm is made out of wood, which can be broken off from her body and regenerated. The Darkage Clan—the ruling faction of Thieves' Den—did not take kindly to her mutation and deemed it a "curse", thus banishing Vine Staff from the clan permanently and separating her from her sibling.For most of her life, Vine Staff lived alone in the jungles of Thieves' Den. She would go on to discover that she has an unexplained connection to the landscape of her home, able to control and influence the growth of the dangerous inphernal-eating plants that live there. At night, she was visited by Shuriken who snuck out to see her, as well as Slingshot, who would later come to join him. The three of them remained close, with Vine Staff coming to see Slingshot as her sibling.Eventually, the three of them left to live in Crossroads, which was infinitely safer for Vine Staff. She works as a cashier in Slingshot's café, Thieves' Rest, alongside Shuriken. Vine Staff became very self-sufficient during her time in Thieves' Den, being able to easily hold her own and provide for herself. She has a penchant for growing plants and crops, and is able to graft plants onto her wooden arm to assist in their growth.She has a strained relationship with her Clan, and is wary of anyone who is affiliated with Darkage, such as her neighbor, Katana. She also hasn't spoken to her caretakers since she was spawned. Despite all of this, she longs to connect with other inphernals, but struggles due to her upbringing Vine Staff has yet to socialize much with other inphernals, so she often comes across as eccentric to others. However, she is earnest and eager to connect with other inphernals, despite her own lack of confidence and misgivings about people as a whole, largely thanks to her upbringing. She is calm, protective, and understanding, longs to meet another inphernal with the same condition as her. She constantly teases and scolds her brothers. Vine Staff has two moderately long horns, starting from the side of her head curling forward then upwards. Each horn has three identical thorns extruding from the front face. She wears a pink kimono which is decorated with flower patterns. At her waist, she has an obi belt tied into a bow in the back. She wears a headband with a hanamusubi knot tied on the right side. Her left arm is made of light-grey colored wood and she uses this same arm to wield her gear, which is a winding wood staff ending on a bowline. A pink flower with a light yellow pistil rests at the top of it while a fluorescent flower sits on the inside of the curl. Vine Staff wears traditional makeup, with lipstick and eyeliner. She wears a necklace with a golden koban. Her boots are black with pink laces. Vine Staff and Shuriken are extremely close, with Shuriken risking his role in the Darkage Clan for her, and eventually giving it up in order to protect Vine Staff. The two are often causing havoc for their neighbor, Katana. Vine Staff isn't aware of Shuriken's vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow". Vine Staff and Slingshot are very close as siblings, and Slingshot regularly snuck out to visit her when they still lived in Thieves' Den. Vine Staff is Katana's neighbor, but they don't talk much. Vine Staff and her siblings like to leave gifts outside Katana's door to show their appreciation for him. However, Vine Staff's plants overrun his meditation room, which Katana is not best pleased about Ban Hammer thinks that Vine Staff's healing abilities are "cool", which she's not so impressed by, expressing how it can be tiring providing for others Vine Staff is thankful towards Boombox for his shielding abilities, and shows appreciation for his music mid-Phights.Vine Staff is very curious in Biograft, asking it a lot of questions and even trying to form a plan with it. She reminds Biograft to come to her for healing, and even teaches it how to say "beep boop". Both Vine Staff and Medkit are surprised to see another healer, sharing friendly banter with one another.Vine Staff is curious about Rocket's prosthetics, and warns him to be careful with his explosives.Vine Staff is perplexed by Skateboard's totally tubular vocabulary, but tries her best to pick it up. She is overall friendly towards Skateboard.Subspace values Vine Staff's healing abilities, but doesn't take her advice, much to her annoyance Scythe constantly teases Vine Staff during Phights, often calling her "flowers". Scythe also comments on Vine Staff's "curse", seeing it as a blessing and offering Vine Staff assistance from The Church of the TRUE EYE Broker notes that while Vine Staff's condition is rare, he has seen it before. While wearing masks is a common practice for members of the Darkage Clan, even when they have left the Clan, Vine Staff never adopted this practice due to her exile. Vine Staff has a garden in her shared apartment, which she grows a variety of plants in. Vine Staff has many favorite types of flora; but she particularly likes lotuses, carnivorous plants, and medicinal herbs, as well as spices.
