Malon (D&D Mal (old design/outdated))

.: Background :.

Malon grew up as one of the few children in a small fishing village on the coast. She was widely considered a burden within the village, with her attention drawn wherever it shouldn't, and her abilities lacking to keep up with the work the village devoted itself to. After a severe falling out with her parents, and the urging of an influential individual, Mal left the village, travelling for a time before chancing on a druid outpost. Welcomed as a guest at first, Mal found herself situated permanently among their numbers with time, and with a display of what seemed to be natural talent for the druids ways. Mal developed both respect and love for the two heads of the gathering, Wiseowl (leader in wisdom) and Boaric (leader in strength), and had most of her druid abilities either honed or developed with Boaric.

Of all creatures, Mal favors the bear, and regardless of the battle will use a Bear form alone. no other form other than her natural state.

.: Druid Gathering: Beastmasters :.

The Beastmasters are a gathering of druids mostly focused on the animal aspect of being- wild, impulsive, and to a degree animalistic in each of their own ways. Some focus on the knowledge and Wisdom of the beasts and creatures of the world around them. Others aim their focus towards a specific beast, to which they devote their training, Strength and being towards. Most beastmasters can safely consume raw foods, including meat and vegetation. and many beastmasters have hard time with their own kind, often struggling to understand themselves as people. the phrase "better at being a beast than a being" is one often repeated among the beastmasters (and this holds just as true for Malon).
