You were raised in a loving and supportive environment—one where joy was nurtured, values were taught through kindness, and you felt safe to grow into yourself. Whether among family, community, or a peaceful collective, your life has been filled with celebration, tradition, and gratitude. The strength of your upbringing has given you confidence, empathy, and a desire to uplift others.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Insight - you understand emotions and intentions

Persuasion - you lead with kindness and warmth

Tool Proficiencies: One musical instrument and one artisan's tool of your choice. Just a couple of hobbies you picked up in your joyful community.
Languages: One language of your choice. You learned through storytelling, cultural openness or perhaps by a local tutor.
Equipment:  

  • A keepsake from your childhood (a ribbon, carved trinket, or old journal)

  • A set of comfortable, well-cared-for clothes

  • A small bundle of letters or notes from loved ones

  • A pouch containing 10 gp

 

 
Feature: Inner Light

Your inner peace and confidence radiate outward. You often put others at ease simply by being present. Once per long rest, you may choose to calm tensions in a 30-foot radius by speaking softly, playing music, or offering warm words. Any creature that can hear you may roll a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). On a failed save, the creature cannot take hostile actions until the start of your next turn.

In non-combat situations, people are more inclined to trust you and open up unless they have a reason not to.
