Here is Aridha's proposed replacement:
Unlike Aridha, Maighan is a druid's druid. She's all about the natural order, and upholding the balance. She has a compassionate heart, and a sense of duty to living beings in general.
In short, she should be a much more interesting personality in this bunch.

She's also prehooked into the adventure, coming to investigate claims of a strange druidic cult operating in the area. This means she'll have a lot of personal drive in investigating the cults, and will be dependent on you guys to help, despite your many differences in points of view.
And of course, as a druid she is more tolerant of 'evil' than a lot of goody-goodies. She recognizes the need for such, even if she has chosen to favor 'goodness' in her own path.
Maighan is a member of a larger druid organization, an old order that was originally founded by treants who wished to keep tabs on the world beyond their forests, watching it for signs of threats long before such threats could come for them. Now more mobile druid and ranger 'agents' rove the world, alert for dangers not just to forests, but to the natural order itself. They use Animal Messenger networks to convey information back to the treant groves; the ancients of which have monumentally vast memories and wisdom, which they use to orchestrate the activities of their agents.
They don't possess a great deal of influence or worldly goods, nor armies, but their knowledge is formidable, and many of their operatives are of exceptional caliber (as is reflected by Maighan's ability scores, which are just Aridha's ability scores rearranged to better suit this concept).
In terms of combat, Maighan is ranged and magical support. She has a variety of good combat spells, mixing damage potential, crowd control, and ally support (largely via healing). She can shoot a mean arrow too. If forced into melee, she can wildshape, or use the Shillelagh spell to hold her own.
I'm planning a 'handoff' post where Aridha and Maighan meet, brief one another, and Aridha passes the motes to her as well as tells her who to seek out (you guys).
The only part of the sheet that's incomplete is the equipment...which is more of a level 1 thing at the moment. I'm not sure if I should/can ask for some kind of better gear to reflect her level 5 status...but let me know if so, cuz I wouldn't mind the chance.
