Once a traditional herbalist who sought to heal the early fracture wounds, they instead chose to drink deeply from a corrupted glyph pool during the Briar Awakening. The chaotic energies didn't destroy them but transformed them into something beautifully wrong, their body becoming a living garden of impossible flora. Now they serve as proof that embracing the rift's chaos grants power beyond conventional understanding.

Their form shifts between human and living garden, with asymmetrical vine growths spiraling from their limbs in fractal patterns that defy natural law. Corrupted flowers bloom directly from their skin in deep purples and electric teals, each petal containing concentrated fracture energy that can instantly corrupt healthy vegetation. Their touch causes normal plants to undergo rapid, chaotic mutations that create new hazards and obstacles.

The Bloom Heretic serves as a living catalyst for botanical chaos, actively spreading corrupted growth patterns wherever they travel and inspiring other Fractureborn Wilds to embrace their own mutations. They work to undermine the Briar Wardens' stabilization efforts by corrupting their geometric glyph networks with organic, chaotic overgrowth.
