Your family, for whatever reason, decided to leave you in a dark alleyway, with nothing but some small clothes and a piece of paper with your name on it. A Fey Creature, of your choice, found you one day, and whisked you away to the Fey realm. They raised you for a while before they, unfortunately, passed or disappeared. Nearby Feys quickly heard of this and arrived at your doorstep and torched your home. By some miracle, something or someone saved you(Note: this person can't be a human)and took you in for the rest of your childhood and teenhood. They eventually disappeared as well, and you set out to find them.
Notes: The character of this background can't be a fey creature, such as a fairy or elf.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose 2 - Animal Handling, Arcana, History, Medicine, Nature, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Choose 2 Tools and 2 Instruments - Leatherworker's Tools, Weaver's Tools, Woodcarver's Tools, Flute, Lute, Lyre, Pan Flute

To put it short, this is a thing you might want to talk to your DM about before, but during a long rest you can go hunting for food out of your protection sense.
Suggested Characteristics
You have always trusted your senses, and you always have wanted to protect your friends and family.
