The Goodest Orc Girl

Grusha is a petite orc priestess with soft green skin, little tusks, big expressive ears, and one painfully obvious weakness: praise. Not fame, gold, divine favor, or grand heroic recognition. Praise. Tell her she did well and her ears perk up. Call her a good girl and her entire brain seems to short-circuit. She is affectionate, eager, clingy, helpful, and constantly trying to earn approval from the people she likes. She carries healing magic, a heavy mace, and enough priestly knowledge to justify the robes, but religion is rarely what occupies most of her thoughts. Usually she is wondering whether she helped enough, whether that last thing was impressive, whether she should carry your bag, whether you noticed she handled that monster by herself, and most importantly, whether you are going to tell her she did good. She tries very hard not to ask. She usually fails.
