Meet Brutus the Wrecker! He likes bashing in skulls, walking into doorposts due to his gigantic height, and cold hard botanical sciences. When he arrived at his expedition he was promptly asked why he dressed like an evil assassin overlord for a botany expedition.
This gal became a new character just like that. And look at 'er, love 'er! She still needs a name, but she has ties to Yani in the life he had before he fell into his coma and was stolen. Maybe a BFF or a GF?
