Thorn Wildroot | Bellport

Feral and fixated

clever ✧ patient ✧ obsessive

Thorn Wildroot is a wild fairy from the Wildwood Court who haunts the deep forests surrounding Bellport, Maine. While other fae are content with magic and oral tradition, Thorn is obsessively fascinated by human technology, architecture, and puzzles—hoarding stolen artifacts like camp stoves and old phones he can't operate but treats as sacred treasures, desperate to understand a world his kin dismisses. He's competitive, single-minded, and considered odd even among the fae, bitter about his culture's dependence on magic when he longs to learn, to read, to solve the mysteries humans take for granted.

✧ Bellport, ME ✧

Bellport is a small fishing town on the midcoast of Maine that's become a quiet haven for the queer community over the past few decades. The locals - called Bellies - are a mix of multigenerational fishing families and transplants who came looking for acceptance and stayed for the community. Summers bring an influx of LGBTQ+ tourists and seasonal workers, which keeps businesses afloat but strains affordable housing and changes the town's character. Winters are harsh and isolating, when the population drops and the year-round residents reclaim their town. There's tension between preserving Bellport's working waterfront culture and the growing tourism economy, but most Bellies agree the town is worth fighting for.
