Born in Cassomir to escaped Chelish slaves, Marigold has always been conscious of her own privileged freedom, and the injustice wrought on those of others.

From a young age, she spent her time with her parents and siblings in the shipyards, where they built the ships that Cassomir was famous for. As the youngest of the Whiteroot clan, she spent more time watching and talking to travelers in ports than building ships, always intrigued by stories from far off places, and how travelers had come to her city. She eventually met a follower of the goddess Alseta, who described this goddess as one who watches over transitions; from simple doors to the years themselves. Marigold became obsessed with the goddess, eventually joining a small contingent of local worshippers.

She saw her family's trade as in line with her goddess' tenants; what were ships but conveyances across the water's threshold? But this was not enough; the fate of other enslaved souls weighed on the young halfling, and she vowed to assist the oppressed whenever she could. She became quite proficient with the sling, not having much money for anything more expensive. She started small, helping singular slaves escape and hide around the docks when their masters were distracted, but eventually became bolder, teaming up with others with a hatred for slavery to infiltrate and free slaves from Chelish and Qadiran ships. As she freed slaves, she also sought to help integrate them into Cassomir, assisting as she could their transition from slave to freeperson, seeking hideouts and jobs in the community. Grateful for her heroics, many have helped to outfit her with armor and tools to continue her fight against the ruthless Qadiran merchants and devil-bound Chelaxians.

Her reputation is somewhat muted, as there are many who would love to get their hands on such a prolific freer of their "merchandise," but her name is well known among halfling communities and freedom fighters. With so many disturbances in the community of late, the Golden Watch has called on her and others to investigate a disappearance...

Marigold often wears a large hat and tinted goggles to hide her facial features. Among friends, when these garments are removed, she appears a cheerful but serious halfling with a narrow face, a straight, small nose, and large green eyes. Her hair is straight and sandy blonde, reaching down to her shoulders.

She wears a simple traveler's outfit, with sturdy boots, a wool skirt, a tan cotton shirt with a large collar, and an oiled cloak. She was given a finely made sling by a halfling she freed, apparently a family heirloom. A freed ifrit sorcerer from Qadira enchanted it for her when she saved his life from a corrupt and cruel merchant. She wears a mithral breastplate, crafted for her by an armorer she helped integrate into Cassomir's community, engraved with her goddess' holy symbol: a woman's head looking to the left, wearing a simple smiling mask on the back of her looking right. A wooden holy symbol of the same hangs from a string around her neck. When she anticipates combat or adventure, she also wears a spiked gauntlet, should she be forced to attack without her sling.
