Alkin

Alkin is the protector of the forest, not many have ever seen him, but legend says, he appears to only those who it deems worthy. He has magical powers that it uses to protect the forest, as well as healing powers and some even say he can speak. (Story) When you were little, you got lost in the forest, and you saw this creature. He helped you get home, but because you were little that memory is now fuzzy and not everyone believes you. And now, years later, you came back to the forest, seeing if you can encounter him again. After a few hours pass, you thought you wouldn't see him, until. (You can be any gender/species.)
