Here's my character draft. Happy to change anything / adjust, especially with a view to entangling her story with the other players!

Name: Donna Oakbottom
Link to Character Sheet on D&D Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/145887834
Species: Lightfood Halfling
Class: Rogue
Background: Wanderer
Special Skills and Abilities: Sneak attack, Thieves’ Cant, Cunning Action, Steady Aim, Fast Hands, Second-Story Work
Physical Description: 3ft short, unkempt short-ish brown mop, tan skin (or maybe it’s just dirt), green eyes
Backstory:
Donna was born into a large family and had six older siblings and seven younger ones. She never got much attention from her parents, had to wear hand-me-downs all her life, and if she wasn't bossed about by her oldest siblings, she was forced to look after her youngest. Whenever she could, she would run into the forest to escape the carnage at home for some peace and quiet.

The forest became her most devoted teacher. She learned to forage and hunt to supplement her meagre family diet, honed her skills by climbing up trees and making a succession of tree houses, each less likely to fall to pieces within a few days, and learned about the other forest creatures. She even made friends with a dryad and learned her language.

Her one and only moment of glory (or notice of any kind) in her family was the time she was able to trap and kill a worg that was terrorising their area. She held onto that moment with a vengeance and kept its largest incisor on a leather string around her neck as a trophy.

One day, starved of knowledge beyond what the forest could teach her, she stole a book about demons from the back of a merchant's cart. She greedily poured over it in her latest treehouse edition, and even managed to learn some of their language.

The older she got, the more time she spent in the forest, and the further she strayed away from home, until she would be gone from home for months on end, wandering the forests and plains in search of adventures and recognition.

Personality: I’m always picking things up or 'borrowing' them, absently fiddling with them, and sometimes accidentally breaking them. I feel far more comfortable around animals than people.
Ideals: Change. Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must change with it. (Chaotic)
Bonds: An injury to the unspoiled wilderness of my home is an injury to me.
Flaws: I feel hygiene is overrated. If I smell, that's not my problem.
Alignment: Chaotic Good

Ysolde

Name: Belatsunat
Link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/145893551/builder/class/manage
Species: Tiefling
Class: Wizard
Background: Entertainer
Special skills: Spell casting
Description: Belatsunat is five and a half feet tall with golden fur, claws, and demonic horns.

Backstory: Belatsunat was part of a traveling show. She was the ‘oddity’ and would perform for the crowd. She spent a lot of time with the troop’s magician and he taught her what he knew of magic until he passed away. After that she went on the road herself using the magic she had learned to add to her performances.

Ideal: No performance or work is ever perfect there’s room for improvement
Flaw: I like to make people uncomfortable with my heritage even teasing about stealing their soul.
Bond: Fate can be changed and even modified. I will make it better for everyone someday.

Mogiz | Half-Orc Fighter

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/145928370

Background: Outlander
Special Skills and Abilities: Protection (Fighting Style), Battle Master (Martial Archetype)
Physical Description: Large and blocky at 6'4" and 226 lbs. Dark green hair wrapped in a high, short ponytail. Ruddy brown-orange eyes. Light olive green skin. Slightly unkempt beard, scratch scars over his left eyebrow. Wears a large bear-fur scarf around his neck.
Backstory:

A half-orc living peacefully among a small nomadic group of humans seems out of the ordinary, but that had been the norm ever since a baby Mogiz was left at the foot of the caravan 33 years ago in a bundle of leaves. He spent much of his early life learning to coexist with the wilderness around him to survive. His larger stature lent himself towards the role of being the group's protector, which was a job he took up dutifully.

Then, the years went by. When a threat approached the group, Mogiz's blood would rush and his head would pound—a guilty, intoxicating feeling. However, it was always short-lived when his opponent would eventually run off in fear from the large half-orc man. After years of chasing away the occasional ruffian or wolf, something itched in him.

Between travels, Mogiz would sit at the end of the caravan and look out at the forest for hours every day. Thoughts ran through his head. What dangers lie in the forest? What kind of brigands and ruffians needed cutting down? Most importantly: what was life like out there?

What did they call it—wanderlust? Or bloodlust?

And so, after two decades of standing guard, he made peace with his group and left for the treeline. There was impact he could make out there, and he was going to find out how—even if it meant doing so with his axe.

Personality: I’m driven by a wanderlust that led me away from home. I watch over my friends as if they were a litter of newborn pups.
Ideals: Nature. The natural world is more important than all the constructs of civilization. (Neutral)
Bonds: My family, clan, or tribe is the most important thing in my life, even when they are far from me.
Flaws: I am slow to trust members of other races, tribes, and societies.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
