You have always been weary of society and feel much more at home among your animal friends. The feeling seems to be mutual, since animals are drawn to you naturally as if by gravity. A normally aggressive cat will happily curl up on your lap, guard dogs will greet you like an old friend and horses will trust you without fail.

            Over time you have developed a natural understanding akin to that of your animal friends, earning you proficiency with perception and insight checks, potentially revealing information about your surroundings which might otherwise elude other players.
