Appearance

Faun is a young wood elf, short in stature with warm freckled skin. She has wild, dense brown hair that bundles onto her shoulders. She wears a headpiece that resembles a pair of antlers. in the middle of the headpiece, above her eyes is a large gem that resembles an emerald embroidered into the wood. She wears a breastpiece crafted with the same wood as her headpiece, the breastpiece is attached to an opaque, green fabric that flows down like a dress. her figure is visible through the material, but only her silhouette.

Backstory

Faun's home is a small wood elf clan secluded in a forest called the "Glistening Woods". Her clan have protected and shared a connection with the Glistening Woods for centuries, in return they gain nutrients, shelter and good health from the Forest's spiritual energy. However, deforestation from a nearby town plagued their home and their people. The destruction to the forest started to affect the weaker members of her clan and gradually her people began to fall ill. It felt like with each fallen tree caused another loved one to fall. Fae could not bear to watch her clan and home gradually die. 

Faun sought out the mysterious Forest Spirit, the source of the forest's power, to plead for help. She succeeded in her quest to find the Spirit, however, found that the destruction to the forest had left the Forest Spirit's form weak, close to death. Faun was overwhelmed with guilt, sorrow, and remorse. Her people, her home, and her God were dying. She mourned over the Spirit's dying form and stayed with it until its last moments.

As the world goes round, with death, comes new life. The Forest Spirit was reborn as a fawn, although he was weak and young, he was alive. The Forest Spirit was moved by Faun's compassion and gave Faun the ability to channel the Forest Spirit's energy through herself, blessing her with the power to manipulate the elements. The young fawn treated Faun like a mother. As he grew, the forest grew stronger, her people grew healthier, and Faun's connection with the Forest Spirit grew closer and more powerful. She protected her home by using her connection with the Forest Spirit and her new ability to manipulate the elements. She defended her home from the hostile destruction until the Forest Spirit, her people, and her home were strong enough to protect themselves again.

She had nurtured her home back to health through compassion and love. Now that the forest was of good health, they no longer needed her protection. Faun couldn't help shake the feeling that there are people beyond her home that need her help, too. Although painful, Faun left her home and her loved ones to seek out others who need are in need... She still shares a telepathic connection with the Forest Spirit, she sometimes can be seen lost in thought, having conversations with him when she is homesick.
