  • Sparrow Community Clinic: Opened at the start of 2023 in the Fairhill neighborhood, Sparrow's clinic is an unassuming community health center well aware of the neighborhood it's in. The sign over the door simply says "Clínica Comunitaria" in black block letters on a white sign, and the bars over its windows have been there for nearly as long as the building, which is old. Already the doctor has started getting a reputation: bang on the door at any hour and there's a good chance she'll answer. Text the number in the window if she doesn't and she usually seems to show up quickly. Since she doesn't ask questions she doesn't need to, the reception of her in that neighborhood has been better than it might have been.
  • It's Complicated: Sparrow has a complicated racial background and equally complicated feelings about it. She's originally from Anadarko, Oklahoma, and is officially a member of the Delaware Nation there, but she's also well aware of the fact that she looks white and was raised with fairly minimal with Lenape culture. Her ancestry is what originally brought her Philly after her Awakening, and also part of what lead to her joining the Children of the Tree and her Legacy, and yet the relationship with her family tree is still a fraught one for her in many respects.
  • Colonel Everheart: For most of her life Sparrow wanted to be a doctor. Medical school costs money, though, and a lot more of it than she and her mom ever had. Having the army foot the bill was the easiest option she saw, and she spent a good portion of her life in the Army afterward. It isn't a decision she'd probably make again knowing what she knows now, and having experienced what she's experienced now, but other people with military service might have met Colonel Everheart at one point or another.
  • Have Healing, Will Travel: During her time with the Army, Sparrow spent time in many different parts of the world. When she left the Army she continued to go from one part of the world to another to provide care in areas where it was needed, working with Doctors Without Borders. She's spent time in a number of places around the world, with most of the last ten years spent in Mexico whenever she wasn't in Philly.
  • Tear of the Martyr's Tree: Sparrow joined this Legacy almost seven years ago but spent a lot of her time in Mexico tending to the territory she'd claimed there. After years of work, political changes, the gradual healing of a wound, and a long list of work done by herself and many others, she finished what she was trying to do in that territory and has just come back to Philly to claim a new one.
