"I weave the gown with thorns. You shall repay with sacrifice of wounds."

Elegant. Refined. Blossoming. Words like this can sum up Druvis III extremely well, as a druid who is a member of the Timekeeper's team while becoming one with the woods she dedicates her life towards. As for my experience with Druvis III, I was never able enough to pick her up until trying to get Jiu Niangzi in the 1.6 update ironically enough, where she also received her new wonderful garment! While she isn't as fully invested compared to other characters I have, she has found use from time to time thanks to her Petrify along the way.

Druvis III has had quite the story arc in the main story though, before being part of the Timekeeper's team. However, one thing that is appreciated a lot about her is her gorgeousness in her designs, effectively backed up by her Voice Acting performance courtesy of Anna Rust, which alongside the lines we get to hear, we get such a wonderful performance and quotes by Druvis III, such as her Victory line which goes unbelievably hard as potentially the best one in the game still (check the very end of the description!) and ones such as "The night falls. The beasts howl. The owls sob. Their feet treading on the ground are just like the roots embedded into the soil.". We get such satisfying strings of words to come together, and it can really draw you in thanks to the combination of VA, and the lines of themselves, and I am so sold on it!

Now about those garments, firstly, before the 1.6 garment was even into question, something that stood out to me and probably many others was how different the original and Insight II looks were, yet both were very gorgeous looks for her. The default look is very pretty, with a bouquet of mistletoe (as her 3rd item suggests), the dark blue gown she wears, her wand known as "Otherworld", the short blonde hair and the little hat, the design is so good...but then we also have the Insight II look! Where we do start with that one...of course, the hair change! We go from fairly short blonde hair, to longer orangey/brown hair, the same bouquet of mistletoe seems to be blossoming more, she now wears a black dress and her hat is replaced with a little tiara! Even a year later, Druvis III's design is absolutely top notch and I completely understand the appeal with her, especially the more time passes!

Now for the 1.6 garment! Well firstly, I unfortunately don't have it unlocked, so I'll show a showcase video of it by ? instead, which I hope people like too!
Druvis III's Garment from 1.6:    • Reverse: 1999 CN - DRUVIS III "Lady W...  

The Lady With Nao'E garment, it's so fitting for her actually! They absolutely nailed this look too, and I love the different pose, incorporating the 1.6/Chinese theme and the dancing theme while playing her strings. It's another beautiful take on this wonderful character, with an awesome dress, a new hairstyle with the Insight II hair colour, and a spring in her step!


I think the next of these videos will be for Kakania as she is just about there at a 100% bond level! Semmelweis will probably follow shortly after, and hopefully I can get Pickles and Lorelei up to there too! Still, Druvis III has been a wonderful character and if we get more unique garments like the Regulus one and the currently CN-exclusive 37 one, Druvis III could be a good candidate (as well as the Limited characters of course). Either way, more of her in the future would be welcome too!
