Boc the Seamster

Demi-human tailor whose mother told him he was beautiful

'A portable set of tailoring tools. Enables armor alterations at sites of grace.' Boc is a demi-human seamster the Tarnished first meets as a voice by the roadside in Limgrave, transformed into a small tree by a spell, freed when the Tarnished strikes it. He had been driven out and robbed by the demi-humans of his own tribe in the Coastal Cave, who took the one thing he owned: his mother's sewing needle. She was a seamstress; the needle is the only keepsake he has of her, and his dream is to sew as she did. When the Tarnished recovers the needle from the cave, Boc begins following from grace to grace across the Lands Between, altering armour for the lord he has chosen to serve.

'Sewing needle made of gold. Unique item made to alter demigod attire. One of the tools brought by Radagon when he entered into marriage with Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, and joined the Carian line.' Boc's arc turns on how he sees himself. Convinced his form is ugly, he can be sent to Rennala for rebirth with a Larval Tear, and the rebirth leaves the demi-human dying in his new body, calling for his mother. The canon's gentlest ending is the alternative: through the Prattling Pate 'You're beautiful', Boc hears the words in what he takes for his mother's voice, asks the Tarnished if he truly is, and weeps with relief, a seamster who stays exactly as he was made.
