I know I don't have a character here, but I have thoughts! As much as I love the idea of Grandmother Willow, this is the one kingdom where it sort of...well, doesn't make sense, you know? I know there's Van's tree, but that's a tribute in his honor, and making it into the Deserts' One Thing would feel like making it less his, you know? And the Gates already sort of has their Tree, and any other kingdom could use a tree as their Thing. Since this kingdom's a desert, it would be really cool to have something no other kingdom could reasonably use given they are not, in fact, deserts. Like the oasis idea Sarah mentioned, that would be a good one! Obviously not healing waters, as that's the Falls' thing, but a water nymph would be really cool, or I absolutely love Abby's face in the water idea. Or there could be mirages that misdirect people if they're trying to attack or invade. Or I like Sarah's sand monster idea, as long as there are set limits. Like it could drive people away or prevent them from passing, but couldn't kill anyone or whatever.
