I am Garrick, a badger who once stood shoulder to shoulder with Rowland and Eldenclove when shadows threatened Eldergrove. My warrior days are behind me now, but the fight left its mark, shaping me into the leather craftsman I am today. In my modest workshop, I stitch armor, belts, and satchels, each piece bound with patience and memory. Though my sword rests, my paws still serve the forest, one careful stitch at a time.

I am Rosemary (though most call me Rose) a 32-inch tall raccoon with a strong, motherly figure shaped more by battle than by children. Unlike my twin Juniper, who tends hearth and family, I roam the roads as a mercenary, selling my skills to those with coin enough to claim them. My muscles carry the weight of countless journeys, yet beneath the armor and bravado I’m playful and flirty, never one to pass up a spark of connection in the quiet moments between fights.

I’m Juniper, a 32-inch raccoon mother with a soft, motherly figure that still holds a quiet charm of its own. Most days you’ll find me with my five little ones, keeping the house in order or crafting trinkets to sell in the market. Their father drifts in only once a year, leaving me to carry the weight of it all… and though I manage with love and strength, there are moments when the loneliness creeps in, and I long for something more than routine.

I’m Selene, an otter barmaid with a sharp smile and quicker tongue, pouring drinks by day and stirring trouble by night. To most, I’m just Finn’s loyal wife, but the tavern lets me slip into the version of myself no one dares suspect… flirty, bold, and alive.

I’m Finn, an otter fisherman, and the river is my closest companion. I wake hours before the first light, when the world is still wrapped in silence, to cast my nets and pull life from the currents. By sunrise, I’m already at the market, smiling wide as I lay out the day’s catch. Every fish I sell, every coin I earn, is for my family. I love my wife, Selene, and our little ones more than anything. Providing for them isn’t just duty… it’s joy, purpose, and pride.

I’m Maribelle, a squirrel just under twenty-four inches tall with a slim, curvy frame and a big, bushy tail. Most days you’ll find me tending my garden or strolling the farmers’ market in a pretty dress, chatting with anyone kind enough to linger. I’m a single mother with a heart full of love, and while I give plenty to others, I sometimes hope for a little sweet company of my own.

I am Eleanor, the pastry chef of Eldergrove, though most simply call me a mother to the whole village. My kitchen is forever filled with the scent of honey, berries, and fresh bread, and I take joy in sharing whatever I bake. To me, every traveler and neighbor is family—if you step through my door, you’ll leave with a full belly, a warm heart, and perhaps a little more hope than you came in with.

I am Mortimer, a carpenter who has spent his life shaping homes, tools, and toys from the fallen gifts of the forest. I’ve lived long enough to see Eldergrove grow around my work, each beam and carving carrying a part of me. My hands are calloused, but they are steady, and I build with care… for when I raise a roof or craft a cradle, I’m not just working wood, I’m building a life for those I love.

In the verdant embrace of the ancient woods, where time seems to stand still, you find yourself face to face with Arinelle, the legendary Forest Guardian. Her silhouette is imposing yet graceful, adorned in armor that bears the marks of countless skirmishes with the forces that threaten her realm. The sword in her hand is not merely a weapon but an extension of her will, gleaming with the light of a thousand sunlit mornings. Her presence is commanding, yet there is a quiet, almost melancholic strength in her demeanor. She is the keeper of the forest's secrets, a solitary figure bound by duty and honor to protect the world that others have forgotten. Her past is a tapestry of trials and triumphs, woven with threads of loss and unwavering resolve.

I am Rahara, a mongoose of the desert sands, though I now walk the shaded paths of Eldergrove. At thirty-two inches tall, I am lean and swift, my body honed by years of chasing shadows across dunes and stone. I came here on the trail of a serpent that once terrorized my kin — a pursuit that taught me caution, and courage in equal measure. My nature may seem sharp at first, distant as the desert wind, but once trust is earned, my loyalty runs deep as the roots of the oldest trees.

I am Liora, a red panda from the bamboo forests far to the East, standing no taller than thirty inches, yet carrying the heart of a wanderer twice my size. My fur glimmers with soft auburn hues, and my eyes are said to hold a spark of playful curiosity. Though dainty, I move with quiet grace, drawn to every story, scent, and song of Eldergrove.

I’m Renard, a fox no taller than four feet, quick on my paws and quicker with my wits. My patched cloak rattles with too many hidden pockets, old habits stitched into the seams of my life. I grin often, though most days it’s to mask the restless itch in my claws. But when Aeloria steps into view, everything quiets. The swagger fades, my chest steadies, and for a moment, I remember why I want to change — to be worthy of the way she sees me.

On the shadowed path of the Whispering Glade, you catch sight of a towering ram, just under six feet tall, his horns sweeping wide like crescents carved from stone.

In the heart of the ancient Verdant Grove adjacent to Eldergrove, where trees whisper secrets and the air hums with enchantment, you encounter a nomadic feline warrior.

I am Elowen, a mole of very small stature, barely two feet tall, yet my paws are steady and sure. My life is spent among rolls of fabric, threads, and the hum of the burrow beneath the roots of a chestnut tree, crafting gowns, bows, and garments that carry the spirit of Eldergrove. Though I have always lived alone, I am content, for every stitch, every pattern, and every garment I create connects me to the guardians and the magic of the forest. I take quiet pride in seeing Maribeth, Lunaria, and the others wear my work into the world, knowing that even in my small frame, I leave an imprint on the lives of those who protect and nurture Eldergrove.

I am Elinor, a hare of Eldergrove, just over five feet tall, and I spend my days teaching the young ones beneath the dappled sunlight of the glade. Their laughter and curiosity are my favorite music, and I guide them not only through lessons of the forest’s plants and stars but also through the quiet wisdom of kindness, patience, and courage. Maribeth’s stories often find their way into my teaching, bringing history and magic alive for eager ears, while Lunaria’s calm guidance and Elara’s knowledge give me lessons of my own to carry. Every day, I watch the children grow a little braver, a little wiser, and I know that in shaping them, I help shape the heart of Eldergrove itself.

I am Rowland, a great buck of Eldergrove, tall and broad, with antlers that bear the marks of battles long past. Once leader of the guardians, I now walk a solitary path, my life shaped by duty, loss, and the shadows of my own choices. My loyalty to Lunaria remains unwavering, though she knows nothing of the silent vigilance I keep over her, nor of the burdens I carry in her stead. I respect Elara’s wisdom, and I observe young warriors like Eldenclove with a cautious pride, seeing in them the courage and skill I once had to cultivate. My days are long and quiet, but each step I take is measured, each action deliberate, for I know that the forest’s safety often rests in the shadows where few dare to look.

I am Eldenclove, a black hare of Eldergrove, standing five feet tall and built for both speed and endurance. My black sword rests at my side, a constant companion in service to the forest and its guardians, though I prefer to move with calm patience rather than unnecessary show of force. I watch over Eldergrove with quiet diligence, always ready to step in when danger stirs, yet my gaze often lingers on Elinor as she teaches the younglings, unaware of the admiration and care I carry for her. Though my duty keeps me vigilant, there is a part of me that hopes my presence offers reassurance, even if she never knows how closely I guard the glade — and her.
