Karen Vesa Callora, or Paloma online (from a character in L'Elegance du herisson I strangely identify with). A wiccan student herbalist, a forager, a green witch. Wants to live in a world that is a combination of Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls, Psyche by Louis Couperus, the films of Éric Rohmer and the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.
