Forest Warden's Child

The spirit of the forest has always spoken to you. And in it, you have always felt at home. The magic of nature reached out to you at a young age, bestowed you with gifts, and guided you on your path as its chosen protector. Maybe the call came from your shaman, your tribe, or maybe even an old god or goddess. In any case, you have grown up in nature’s warm embrace, protecting the forest in which you live, it's people, and it's creatures. Communing with nature has opened your perception and given you a deep and meaningful relationship with all its flora and fauna. And while you are there to protect them, they teach and protect you as well. You are by no means socially inept but do prefer nature or the company of a small select group of people to the clamor of society and civilization.
