Birdie Calloway

Birdie Calloway is the mother of Fearne Calloway. As an NPC, she is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Birdie is an older faun with blue-green eyes and thick auburn hair that reaches her mid-back. She is stockier and slightly shorter than Fearne. Upon arriving from a skirmish-crawler trip to Imahara Joe's, she was wearing a heavy leather jacket, helmet, and goggles, and was coated with yellowish-gray dust.

Background
Birdie is the daughter of Morri Calloway, and she and her family were influential in the Seelie Court within the Feywild. She and her partner Oleander had a daughter, Fearne Calloway. The couple left to explore the Material Plane and eventually became outcasts in the eyes of the displeased Lady Elmenore, Matriarch of the Seelie Court. They traveled to different places throughout Exandria, allegedly sending letters and postcards to their family, their last letter coming from Aeor. Fearne believes her parents left to do something important, although she isn't sure what. Though Fearne believed they last saw one another approximately 90 years before Campaign 3, Birdie believed it had only been almost six years.

In the course of their work, Birdie and Ollie would visit Imahara Joe once every few months to buy any spare arcane batteries he had for sale. Only one would visit his workshop at a time, never both simultaneously.

Campaign 3
Fearne and her friends Bells Hells met Dusk in Bassuras, Marquet. Dusk claimed to have met Birdie and Ollie in the Feywild and told the group that the couple taught Dusk about the Feywild and helped them return to Exandria. Dusk further claimed that they entered the Material Plane near Bassuras and were separated upon arrival. To help Fearne and Dusk reunite with Birdie and Ollie, Imogen Temult contacted Birdie over Sending and explained that Fearne and Dusk wished to meet her. Birdie was initially cautious of a stranger claiming to know her daughter but was overjoyed when Imogen clarified she was a friend of Fearne's and relayed information that only Fearne and Dusk would know. Birdie called out, apparently to Ollie, in her excitement about hearing from Fearne, but she did not comment on Dusk. She arranged for them to meet at Imahara Joe's workshop in a few days.

It was revealed shortly after that Dusk, an agent of Zathuda of the Unseelie Court, was secretly hunting Birdie and Ollie in their search for the Moontide Crown. For her own part, Fearne secretly carried an enchanted green gem given to her by Morri, who said it needed to be given to Birdie and Ollie because it was important to their work.

Birdie arrived via crawler at Joe's workshop as promised, and she was emotional to see her daughter so grown. She and Fearne were surprised to learn that they believe they were separated for very different amounts of time. When Fearne attempted to re-introduce Birdie to Dusk, Birdie did not recognize them, prompting Dusk to reveal their true form and grab both women. Horrified, Birdie told Fearne, "You led them right to us."
