Devlog #7 - Faye, the Forest Protector
[p]Hey Survivors!
The next hero we are going to talk about in today’s devlog is one with roots in two worlds, sea and forest, magic and mystery. Faye Shimmerwind, the Forest Protector, is finally unveiled and joins the roster as a Support, who blends healing with harmony.
Raised by the Ocean Tribes but forever drawn to the deep woods, Faye brings a unique take on restoration, one that sees healing not just as recovery, but as a way of living in balance with nature itself.[/p][p]
Let’s learn more about her background and gameplay abilities!

[/p][h3] From Tides to Trees[/h3][p]Faye’s story begins not where you'd expect. While she’s unmistakably elven in appearance and presence, she didn’t grow up beneath starlit groves or shimmering treetop cities. Instead, her childhood is made of salt air and Ocean Tribe lullabies.[/p][p]Discovered as a newborn adrift at sea, Faye was taken in by a skilled healer of the Ocean Tribes, raised among sea-bound traditions, surrounded by potions and tide-whispering rituals. She grew up alongside her adopted brother, Noa.[/p][p]Though the marine lifestyle characterizes her roots, Faye never felt fully at home near the water. She harbored a deep, inexplicable fear of the ocean depths, often clinging to dry land while her peers practiced sea magic and healing in the shallows.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][h3]A Book, A Spark[/h3][p]Her sense of otherness was quietly confirmed the day an elven traveler arrived on their island. Though he did not say much, he saw something in Faye and asked if she wanted to follow him on his journey, but after her refusal, he gifted her a book of elven stories before departing.[/p][p]That was the moment that changed everything. Although she hesitated for a moment, the elf decided that she would not abandon her family, even if it meant missing out on legendary adventures.[/p][p]Through those pages, Faye found resonance: in the connection between elves and the natural world, in the idea that healing is more than mending wounds, it's about nurturing life. From that day on, her focus shifted from traditional healing to a more holistic, protective path.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][h3]Protector of the Wild[/h3][p]Now grown, Faye has taken her first steps far from the ocean that she never felt was home. Guided by instinct and the whispers of the wild, she’s become a wandering forest healer, safeguarding nature’s sacred places and lending her magic to any creature, beast, or human who comes in peace.[/p][p]Wherever she goes, flora flourishes. Campsites bloom. Wounds fade. Her laugh echoes like birdsong, even as her presence anchors those around her. As if she is a Keeper of the Groove.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][h3]In-Game Role: Support[/h3][p]Faye’s playstyle in Tri Survive is all about healing, defense, and natural team synergy. Her active ability, Elven Blessing, evolves across five tiers, each deepening her support potential. At its core, she casts a shielding spell that softens incoming attacks for the entire trio. As the ability evolves, the shield not only lasts longer but begins to mend wounds based on how much damage was absorbed. Eventually, it becomes a restorative burst of energy, healing allies and damaging enemies in close range with a retaliatory blast once the barrier fades.[/p][p]She shines in slower-paced battles where territory control and team cohesion matter. Pair her with aggressive frontliners or sharpshooters who can hold ground, and she’ll keep them thriving for the whole fight.

[/p][h3]The Lighthead of The Party[/h3][p]Faye’s cheerful, cheeky spirit is part of her charm, but don’t expect poise and mystery. She wants to be seen as wise and otherworldly, like the elves in her stories, but often slips into awkward honesty or playful teasing. Just don’t call her a "typical elf”. She’ll deny it while unconsciously braiding vines into her hair.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
