placable
Readily forgives offenses
Placable describes someone who can be calmed or appeased—whose anger or hostility yields to soothing.
The word is uncommon, appearing mainly in formal or literary contexts: He was a placable man, quick to forgive slights.
The opposite, implacable, sees far more use.
