Another true to history female healer, or Voodoo witch, depending who you ask, is the musical midwife, Julia Brown. History tells us that a real woman by the name once dwelt in Frenier, an isolated bayou logging town out in the cypress swamps of the Louisiana lowlands, where she was, reputedly, the only person of medicine for a town one could only reach by railroad, or by boat. Folks say she used to sit on her front porch, singing the same old song on her beat up guitar between visits... and folks could hear her voice floating out of the swamp, singing... “One day I'm doing to die and everything will die with me.”
True to her word, one day she passed, and days later, on the day of her funeral, a vicious hurricane with a 13 foot storm surge arrived and wiped Frenier off of the map, and old Julia Brown's casket was never found. To this day, folks say, sometimes they can hear old Julia Brown's voice floating out of the Cypress swamps near where Frenier once stood, singing... One day I'm going to die and everything will die with me.”
Julia is a powerful, CR10 Druid with a number of items and special actions that make her a formidable foe. This NPC was developed by DiceKnight Adventures' Head of Design, Joshua the Sage, in collaboration with @DevonBorkowskiArt, who did the illustration. The two travel the country working for Renaissance Faires, and in their spare time, they collect local legends and lore, and code them into 5e D&D Lore Packs, like this one.
