Birch

The late mother of Birchwood.

Strong-willed and strong-minded. By the late 20th century, she was already grooming Dogwood to be her heir, unafraid in the face of death and fully trusting in the cycle of life, which is to say, she could be intense. However, she was also sociable and engaging, and took an active interest in human affairs.

Raising a family that will carry on her legacy, learning as much as possible, earning respect.

Blunt, stubborn, curmudgeonly towards the end

She was a good writer, and often published articles under the pseudonym "Jane Birch" in regional magazines. She was also very athletic and physically strong.

Reading, writing, training (which entailed practicing magic frequently and performing flexibility exercises and martial arts)
