'''Greenfinger Zawan''' is a [[commander]] in the [[Floran Tribes]]. Each Floran tribe has a Greenfinger, who leads the tribe and offers direction,<ref>https://wargroove.com/the-new-challengers/</ref> and Zawan is the Greenfinger of a Floran Tribe that inhabits the dense forests to the north of the [[Cherrystone Kingdom]].

==Background==
Greenfinger Zawan is brave and wise; an experienced elder who rules the Floran with strength and compassion. Greenfinger has the ability to produce and manipulate plants at will by invoking the powers of nature - an ability uncommon even among the Floran.

Not every Floran has the skills to be a Greenfinger. Though their abilities aren't necessarily inherited, they are innate. In every generation, a Floran with the potential to become a Greenfinger is born. Beyond their powers to manipulate plants, Greenfingers are also more level-headed and forward thinking than other Floran. It is these traits that are most important when it comes to governing their kin. Floran are fun-loving, easy-going, and unremittingly violent, so it takes a Greenfinger's guiding hand to keep them in check.

Zawan trained to lead the Floran under the tutelage of the late Greenfinger Russom. Zawan was young when this training began; it doesn't take long for a sapling capable of becoming a Greenfinger to show themselves, being naturally attentive and studious in ways other Floran simply aren't. Zawan was taught all that Russom could impart: how to cajole wayward hunters into good behaviour; how to encourage a Floran's natural inquisitiveness towards informative learning; and how to channel the energy of their people into productive endeavours (rather than thoughtless violence). For 22 years Zawan was schooled in the way of the Greenfinger, but when Greenfinger Russom died at the age of 212, Zawan felt there was still much to learn. Despite these reservations, Greenfinger Zawan has excelled as a leader, and has fostered an era of safety and prosperity for the Floran of Aurania.<ref>In Game Codex Entry</ref>

==Story==
Greenfinger Zawan appears after [[Sedge]] is defeated by [[Emeric]]. Upon their appearance, Sedge claims that the [[Cherrystone]] refugees were invaders, seeking to destroy the Gloomwood and eliminate the Floran. Convinced, Zawan stated committed to protect the [[Floran Tribes]] at all costs, and attacked the Cherrystone troops with the might of the Gloomwood's protectors, the [[Giant|Gloom Giants]]. However, Emeric managed to put to use Trebuchets to eliminate the giants and defeat Zawan. Before the battle could escalate futher, Nuru came onto the scene and intervened. Nuru refuted Sedge's claims by saying that their scouts had seen the Cherrystone refugees leave their home and witnessed Sedge provoking them. Nuru also revealed that he and Sedge had been fighting the forces of Queen Mercia. Despite Sedge's protests, Zawan ordered Sedge to the Flooded Forest to speak with them later. The Greenfinger then apologized to Mercia, and asked for her forgiveness. Mercia swiftly accepted his apology. Now notified that the Felheim Legion would soon pass through the Gloomwoods, Zawan allowed Mercia to pass through the Gloomwoods, and assured her that Zawan's forces would not be overrun by the Felheim Legion. Zawan also asked an (enthusiastic) Nuru to join Mercia in her journey to Heavensong.

Later, Greenfinger Zawan confronted Sedge about his attack on the Cherrystone refugees. Sedge said that the Floran were hunters, and admitted to believing that Zawan was a "wilted coward" for attempting diplomacy. Accepting responsibility for Sedge becoming too savage and uncontrollable, Zawan banished Sedge from the Floran Tribes. However, Sedge believed that it was time for a new ruler of the Floran Tribes, and began a civil war against Greenfinger Zawan with other Florans who agreed with them. During the battle, Sedge used Gloom Giants against Zawan, who refused to use them as it was a grave crime to use Gloom Giants against another Floran. Despite this disadvantage, Greenfinger Zawan prevailed against Sedge's forces. Upon finally being forced to withdraw and go into exile, Sedge warned the Greenfinger to watch the shadows, as should their "ssshiny Cherrystone friendsss".

==Groove==
Greenfinger's [[Groove]] is Wild Growth. The player chooses 5 tiles within the area/range and Vines (able to move two spaces as of 2.0) spawn. 

Wild Growth is particularly useful in conjunction with ranged units that are able to use his vines for cover. During fog of war, the vines are also capable of Ambushing foes.

Another use for Wild Growth is to delay enemy units, especially at choke points.

Vines take the same amount of damage as structures except they receive [[terrain]] defense.

The vines degrade over time at 20% HP per turn, and can be attacked by enemy units without attacking themselves.

==Trivia==
*Greenfinger is voiced by Sean Chiplock.<ref>https://wargroove.com/role-call/</ref>
* Greenfinger was likely designed based off the [[Cavalry]] unit type, being the only commander with a riding mount--however it serves no gameplay significance.
* Contrary to popular belief, Greenfinger Zawan is ungendered. They are never referred with a gender in any official context, and Florans as a single-sex race<ref>[https://playstarbound.com/meet-the-florans/ Starbound Dev Log - Meet The Florans]</ref> are unlikely to express gender in the same way as humans. However, it is not unheard of for individual Florans to adopt gendered roles, as seen with Nuru and others.
** In past versions of Wargroove, all Floran characters have been referred to with gendered pronouns. However, these have been removed in patches and according to a developer are caused by oversights due to complications in the translation process.
