'''Grass Shell''' is a [[Painted Antinium|Painted Worker]] of the [[Free Antinium]] and a [Shaman].
== Appearance ==
Physiologically, he has the standard Antinium Worker appearance. As he is also a Painted Antinium he also has some colour on him, but his most distinctive feature is that back shell is sprinkled with dirt and grass glued together with a sort of resin.<ref name=":8.43">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/22/8-43/ Chapter 8.43]</ref>He looks like a plant. Grass and some flowers are growing on his shell.<ref name=":0">{{VERef|Interlude – Adventurers (Pt. 2)}}</ref>
== Personality ==
Grass Shell has always been into grass and plants, collecting them and adding to his shell and can only be decribed as having affinity with nature.
During the travels with the [[Fellowship of the Inn]], though still inexperienced, he has always been resourceful and pragmatic in working with the tools and abilities at his disposal, as seen by his quick adjustment into the Shaman class and contributions to battles with [Grow Grass] spell.
After returning to Liscor, just a few more months were enough for him to get a job and a grasp on basic labour economics as well as evolve his Shaman class, further demonstrating these character traits and also a certain air of responsibility that Infinitypear as a similarily old Antinium did not yet have when they met in the Floodplains<ref name=":0" /> already showing a sort of insightfulness also shown by other Shamans.
== Background ==
== Chronology ==
=== Volume 8 ===
Grass Shell was one of the fifteen Antinium who volunteered to go after Mrsha after listening to Bird's speech and became part of the [[Fellowship of the Inn]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/22/8-29/ Chapter 8.29]</ref>
Like everyone else, Grass Shell participated in Bird ([[Niers Astoragon|Niers]]) mad sprint, which at the end may have allowed him some level up.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/31/interlude-of-vampires-and-fraerlings/ Interlude – Of Vampires and Fraerlings]</ref>
After learning from [[Ulvama]] about how [Shamans] get their power for magic. Bird theorized that Antinium could have [Shamans' as well. As such, seeing grass and dirt glued to Grass Shell's body, Bird deemed him worthy to have the [Shaman] Class. Believing what Bird told him and contemplated on being a [Shaman], Grass Shell received the class.<ref name=":8.43" />
When the [[Fellowship of the Inn]] first rescues a Gnoll tribe that was besieged by a drake army, he participated in the battle and summoned grass to trip enemies and burrs that hurt when you stepped on them.<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.52 MN}}</ref>
During the Fellowship adventures, he participated in social activities such as storytelling around the campfire.<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.60}}</ref>
On the road he continued to collect interesting grass, other plant matter and flowers to add them to his shell and the plants would not die even days after being cut off. He also further practised his battle technique of tripping people with grass against [[Merrik Hostone|Merrik]], tripping him multiple times when the Fellowship fought the Titan's students.<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.65}}</ref>
He also participated in the battle at the [[Meeting of the Tribes]] though is actual battle contributions and impact is not known.<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.83}}</ref>
=== Volume 9 ===
When [[Rasktooth]] and [[Infinitypear]] were having one of their first adventures on the [[Floodplains]], they also removed the plug from the cave where [[Apista|Apistas]] former [[Ashfire Bees|Ashfire Bee]] Hive is residing. Grass Shell saved them from the angry bees and revealed that he had taken over the job of feeding the bees because the Drake previously doing the job had overcharged and asked them if they were hired by [[Mrsha du Marquin|Mrsha]] and it was his time to lose the job. He also gave them some Ashfire Bee honey.<ref name=":0" />
