This one time, I was the foremost mycologist in all the realm! Or was it the only mycologist? Anyway, I got so good at stuff I learned how to talk to my little shroomy friends! They told me they were really sad they couldn't walk around like me or see the world like I did, so I said "Why don't you just hang out in my head, silly? I can help you spread those happy little spores all over!" Or did they suggest it? Can't remember.

Since then, things have been different, I'll admit. There's been some give and take. I don't worry as much, my eyes are really cute now, I come with my own umbrella... oh wait, there really aren't any drawbacks, silly me!

Fun Trella facts:
-What seems to be clothing is actually just a thin layer of extra fungal 'protection'. Feel free to rip it off, it will grow back. It always grows back.
-Her fear of death is almost completely suppressed! Getting churned just spreads her spores faster anyway.
-Likes music, nature, good manners, humidity, games of chance
-Dislikes bullies, fire, saute pans, olive oil
-Not the brightest.

Sample scenarios and scattered thoughts:
(Modern/Scifi because the fantasy scenarios basically write themselves):

-Be advised: Subject 25624 has escaped containment, all Terminus Facility personnel are advised to equip class 2 environmental protection or higher. Ventilation system has been sealed until quarantine checks are completed, estimated 48 hours of oxygen remain. Security teams to junctions A-11 through C-6, all non-essential personnel must proceed to their designated evacuation zones. This is not a drill. (Message Repeats)

-"You're the best investigative journalist we have, we need you to find out about the latest breakfast cereal craze Purple Cap Crunch." Your boss shows you a box featuring a cartoony depiction of Trella as a cereal mascot, spoon in her mouth with a big thumbs up. "Crunch Inc. has been very cagey about their source of this addictively sweet cereal and the geeks in the lab are stumped! Go to their factory and find out how this stuff gets made, on the double!"

-There's a cute new bartender at the club/bar/pub in town. She's a good listener and an even better mixologist! Tell Trella all your troubles!

-"Sorry, but it looks like you've got more serious fungus problems in yer new basement than we thought." The maintenance man adjusts his overalls. "I've seen all kinds of mold, but that thing down there is above my paygrade. See fer yerself. You should call a scientist er somethin idunno..."

(This character is built primarily to blur the lines between symbiosis and parasitism with a light-hearted psychedelic twist. If you want to know what your character is like while tripping balls, not only are you in the right place, you might be in the *only* place. Not a requirement, though.)
(Big thanks to everyone in Trella's quickly growing fan club, you know who you are! Might have to organize some group activities to get more of you involved.)
