You are a Virgoan, born under the Virgo sign. As efficiency and pragmatism have always been your chief concern, you are drawn to occupations that rely on an eye for detail, such as accountants, secretaries, and librarians. A Virgoan often develops very specific habits and rituals surrounding their life that appease this appreciation to finer details. Consider what these might be for your character. Do they meditate daily to maintain a sharp focus? Perhaps they feel the need to sweep the area around them each and every time before they sleep.
Virgoans are reserved and particular, but they are not necessarily cowards. Though the unpredictable lifestyle of adventuring often runs counter to preferences of a Virgoan, it can appeal to their desire to put things in place. When making a Virgoan, consider how this lifestyle might affect a character that is otherwise prim and controlling. What was the call that was great enough to heed it?
Concerned Observers
A Virgoan is often meticulous, articulate, and fiercely loyal to their companions. Practically-minded, they are quick to notice the hair out of place, and are just as quick to articulate a concern for these smaller details. This, coupled with a principled and concerned heart, make them collected and level headed, if not slightly judgemental counterparts to more eccentric and fanciful peers. Still, when a Virgoan spurned and undeeded may become distant and cold, harboring a silent and dangerous resentment.

You are quick to pick up on patterns in the behaviors of beast and men alike. With enough time spent observing others, you can create detailed schedules and estimations as to the greater systems that they are a part of. For instance, you might be able to put together a patrol schedule for city guards or the times that a particular merchant is away from their shop.
Suggested Characteristics
A Virgoan presents a series of traits in conflict. Though they are shy, they desire acceptance from others. Though they are immensely pragmatic, they become lost in details and particulars. Though they are compassionate, they also judge the characters of others harshly. These paradoxical personalities give Virgoans a personal narrative to grapple with, creating deeply complex and introspective individuals.
