Branchtender Maple

Branchtender Maple is a character at the New York Life Building in Rose.

Background
Maple was born in 2252. She once lived in the D.C. Wastes, guarding the gate to Oasis. In this timeline, it is assumed that Harold is dead. With Harold either killed by the lone wanderer as requested or by fire; the Treeminders splintered off and went their own ways. It seems that Branchtender Maple made her way to the Empire Wastes, and discovered the giant tree within the New York Life Building. While this tree didn't talk to her like Harold did, she has become fiercely devoted to this giant Elm.

The ultimate change in her personality came from being betrayed by the lone wanderer. She wanted to hide Harold from the world, to keep him and protect him from all who would exploit him. However, only a select few was ever able to see him. Thus, she has a new mentality about the Tree of Life; that all should see its splendor. She still protects it as its guardian, but it's no longer to be hidden away from the world. Maple allows for those who are pure of heart to visit and pay homage to it.

However, it seems like dangers come from within. While Maple was fiercely loyal to Father Birch, not all within are so faithful to Branchtender Maple.
