Homebrew Furutsubaki-No-Rei Species Details

With time comes age, and in age comes beauty. Born from nature, I carry the wisdom of time itself. I watched as humanity destroyed the very forests that provided them with life. Ruin the lands that fed them in their time of need. Burned our mother that nourished and protected them when they could not have survived. I came into consciousness as everything around me crumbles to dust. Now I separate myself from my mother's protection in order to defend her from anyone who dares harm her.
