Time to bring in some more beauties! These next two are goblin sisters I adopted from the wonderful  kamumune who allowed me to give them a home. I couldn't ignore such lovely shortstack beauties, let alone sisters! Check out Alba, the younger sister's bio below!

Name: Alba “Alley” Greenheart
Age: 27
Species: Forest Goblin
Class: Druid
Height: 3.5 feet tall
Weight: 80 lbs
Profession: Herbalist/healer, minder of the forest

Physical description:

The first and biggest giveaway for Alba’s appearance is also the hardest to hide when on display. The mushroom cover over the top of her head is akin to the common white mushrooms one finds at the base of trees throughout the forest she resides in. The mushroom itself can be a reflection of her health and well-being: a wilting, darkened mushroom suggests sorrow or depression, while a full and healthy looking mushroom can be seen as a sign of happiness or contentment. However, this mushroom is only ever on display when she invokes her magic; otherwise, she would look like any other curvaceous, short-stacked goblin.

Long, white hair falls from the top of her head down to her ankles, a color matching the mushroom head cover she often has. Unlike some goblins who bind their hair or wrap it to keep it neat, Alba prefers to wear it long due to her druid teachings and as a way to mirror her older sister. Her face is soft and openly expressive, with a small nose and lips. Large ears flop on either side of her head, quite large even for her particular species. The left one is pierced with a singular gold earring piece for decoration, though she occasionally swaps it out.

Shortstack indeed describes Alba physically from the head down: large breasts that droop if not held up via clothing, as well as a soft middle that leads down into hips and large thighs. When she has her traveling cloak on and isn’t displaying her mushroom, it isn’t uncommon that she’s sometimes mistaken for other types of goblins or even just an old lady due to her white hair. But her youth shows itself in smooth skin and her soft voice.

Personality

Of the two sisters, Alba is the more gentle spirit, believing in peace and compromise more than quarreling or fighting. In a violent world, she is prone to keeping out of conflicts and only seeking to aid those who need help. Her work as a healer ties into this, focusing on helping the realms of both man and nature heal in the aftermath of conflict. Animals are often calm around her, as she takes care to not disrupt their habitat and has even helped rebuild destroyed homes and nests. In her personal forest, this has earned her a silent acknowledgement as a friend to the animals.

Alba is not without force and will when pressed, however. Many mistake her nature to be too timid to fight or too emotional to handle herself. What they do not suspect is that a quiet Alba is an Alba with a plan. Her mastery over plants and knowledge of her surrounding terrain means she can evade capture and even ambush an unsuspecting thug or five with one spell. The next thing they know, they’re left to the mercy of the carnivores in the forest while she goes about her business. She does not like the consequence of such actions, but she will act when necessary.

Alba holds no ill will to the humans despite the common stereotypes thrown against Goblins in general. She is no money hunter nor schemer, only seeking to help the world around her. To her, humans are just another group of beings to get along with and to work with, no different than the larger animals in the forest. She dislikes their constant need to change the world around them to their will instead of just cooperating together, but respects their capabilities. Some humans have even been kind to her animals, so she knows not all of them are bad. It just has to be someone with a kind soul.

Backstory

Alba and her sister are quite odd compared to the normal Goblin ideas humanity has for their species. They don’t quite grasp that Goblins can exist beyond the old stereotypes of warmongers, diggers, and troublemakers. Some pursue lifestyles that are better for their livelihoods; in the case of the Greenhearts, they were called to the forest. There, Alba and her sister grew into their talents as druids and as herbalists.

The nearest human village is their main source of trade and connection to the world outside the forest, though visits are rare. Their unique talents and their magical abilities have made them become almost a myth to the locals, who speak in equal parts of reverence and caution when referring to the Greenhearts. However, their skill at helping heal and solve problems outside their abilities gives enough pause to ideas of just removing the Greenhearts from the forest. Of course, some may have tried in the cover of darkness, but it’s quite easy to get lost in a large forest…

Trivia

-Alba’s home is actually a large tree within the forest’s depths, one of the older trees from far before she ever was born. It has been a sturdy accommodation, and has served to give her not just a safe space from harm that blends into the environment, but has also provided plenty of room to practice her magic safely and out of sight. A clever thought had her add magic protections to her tree home from fire and cutting edges to prevent any attempts at harming her house.

-She visits her sister on occasion, the pair living separately for their own purposes but never far apart. She always tries to bring fresh veggies she’s grown with her, insisting that Rosea get a proper diet and not just all meat all the time.

-Alba has gone a long time without a lover. The past few tries with other goblin men left her unimpressed and put off by their loud tendencies. She does sometimes wonder if a human partner might suit her better…

-Her strongest spell can cause all kinds of vegetation to spawn and grow spontaneously in the area, overwhelming the unprepared individuals and leaving them buried beneath the foliage to be consumed and turned into soil and nutrients. However, such magic exhausts her, and can only be done once a day.
