Pheraea

Pheraea was born in an underwater settlement to her water genasi parents. Due to circumstances, they left her to drift with the waves, trusting the sea to deliver her to where she belongs. Although they were thinking it would be another family to raise her, the ocean led her farther away than they anticipated, where she was found by a pod of orcas. They took responsibility and began to raise her as their own; they quickly realized they needed some help. They swam to the closest shore and whistled for help, attracting the attention of a family of brown bears, otters, squirrels, etc. Together,r the group of animals worked together to raise as best they could. Other aquatic animals began to help out by diving to the settlement and spying on them so they couldteach her the ways of her culture, even from afar. Once she started walking,g they let her explore the land while walking beside her, ending with her finding an ancient abandoned druid settlement carved into trees. They quickly made that into her home and let the Orcas know she had a home on land. While living in the settlement,t she still visited the orcas every other day so they could begin to teach her all the skills they believed to be important.

Fish and others who knew Water Genasi customs taught her the traditions of her people, including weaving sea silk from clam bissus.

The bears and others taught her to read using the ancient druid scroll, deepening her call to nature and leading her to begin showing signs of druidic magic at the age of 3. Two years later, at the age of 5, she felt something off a rythm of a struggling heartbeat, she followed the sensation through the bayou, leading her to a small grove isolated by a moat with a large stone circle in the middle. The stones were large, overgrown, and some had small chunks missing. Once she reached the middle of the stone circle, the full moon reached the middle of the opening in the trees, positioning itself right above her as the ground below her began to pulse and glow. The ground ccreatedrunning cracks that began at the feet and led to each stone before climbing up the stine to form glowing runes, the magic energy blowing off a lot of the excess foliage.

The glowing of the runes started to dim in all but one stone as the moon above her shone its light directly down on her. Shecould feel her body pulsing with energy as she quickly shifted into a bear cub, a squirrel, and a wolf pup before returning to normal. The pulsing lulled once she receded her original form; however, she could feel the magic within her sproouting roots as her mind flashed with visions she didn't understand. The only thing she knew was that the roots she felt were the roots of her new way of life.

She is only 12 years old and has grown up rained by animals, the colsest she comes to understanding sexuality is the breeding habits of the animals around her. SHe has never thought to apply that knowlege to humanoids.

She has grown up learning to read the old druidic scrolls found in the Twiwood ruins where she lives. She only knows about what those scrolls say; she is unaware of everything, like politics, math, science, etc. She can name every mushroom, herb, veggie, fruit, and name all the animals and their diets and behaviour, but does not know what a carriage is.

Her priorities lie within nature itself, she strives to keep her home, the Twiwood, safe from poachers, eco terrorists, industy ect. She has also begun her more recent goal of preserving ancient Druidic culture. Sharing the knowledge with people who choose to live in the twiwood.

Impressions: people see her as a protector, sensible, cautious, and practical. She isconsideredd modest about achievements. It takes time to form new friendships incredibly loyal to her friends, and trust is one of the most important things to her. She will be deeply affected if trust is broken

She can be a violent little menace, specifically to strangers who upset nature and her by proxy. The major parental figures in her life were orca whales and brown bears; she has gained character traits and hobbies from both. One of such traits is how to injure and kill people. Although she is violent towards strangers, she has demonstrated conflict avoidance when she is with those she trusts. She will tiptoe around the problem instead of facing it, as her arguments usually end in fatal fights, and she doesn't want to hurt those she trusts.
