Tell us about yourself and your people?
I am a korrigan, not a dwarf, an elf and definitely not a gnome. My people and I are native to Brittany, France. We may not be the most disciplined and focused folk, but we enjoy life and merriment. We love a good joke and highly impressed with juggling. Even farts smell sweet to us. We try to appreciate the simple things in life – family and friends. What is your occupation? I am Merlin’s apprentice and a potion master. My favorite concoction is mixing elixirs of love but will create potions for all sorts of ailments from tummy aches and ointments for injuries. On occasion, I am called on by Merlin to be his messenger to the outside world. I see myself as an ambassador between the enchanted world and the "real" world. What do you love most of all? My wife and family. My wife, Gwenaëlle is the love of my life. We have been together for more than ninety years. While she doesn’t approve of my work with Merlin, I truly believe she respects my duty to heed his call. Merlin’s missions always cultivate positive change in the enchanted world and man’s world. My children are my fancy. They are the reason why I want a better life for the entire enchanted forest. What do you dislike? Well, firstly, disrespect. When my people are called anything other than korrigan, it really gets my gut. Please, dwarves, elves, gnomes and korrigans are not all the same. I respectively ask to refer to us as korrigans. I love my forest, and all the forest folk, I dislike when people enter the forest and pollute, or cruelly attack or hunt my fellow creatures. I have no disdain for man, but I wish he would respect our ways and allow us to live in peace. What is your biggest fear? That the dark force will prevail over the forest. A dark shadow hangs over the forest, and where there is darkness, there is always fear, and that fear results in many things – anger, resentment and shame. I fear this darkness will never leave. What is your biggest hope? Where there is darkness, there is always bound to be a light. We need to find it, and often, it is where we least expect it. In my current case, lightness comes from three passionate boys – Raoul, Walter and William who care about the creatures of the forest and want to help us defeat the darkness that hangs over us. What is your favorite food? Gwenaëlle's honey nut cakes. She shares them with all who come to visit. They are delightful blend of hazelnuts, floral herbs like lavender and honey. What is your favorite color? Moss Green, especially the day after a saturating rain and it shines in the brilliant light of the sun. What is your message to all creatures of the enchanted forest and men? Trust and faith in the goodness of one another. I know it’s hard when times seem dark and no goodness can be found. When we open our hearts, even to those we fear, we are all destined to find peace.
