Civilization has taught you one thing: you don't fit in. You decided long ago that you want nothing to do with society or other intelligent beings, and moved to a secluded place. Your time away from society has taught you how to take care of yourself, but your social skills suffer. Being alone this long has maybe even damaged your sanity, if you had any to begin with. However, you find comfort in whatever animals you can coerce or endear into staying with you.
