Ideals
Like the mountains we hail from, our duty is unyielding and our purpose unshakable. We stand as the bedrock against chaos, defending the balance of nature and the sanctity of our homes.

Mannerisms
Whenever I'm contemplating or making a decision, I have a habit of touching or rubbing the Winter Wolf canine tooth that I wear around my neck, drawing strength and clarity from it. Before entering combat or facing a challenging situation, I take a moment to close my eyes and draw a few deep, grounding breaths, channeling the calmness and patience of the mountains. These mannerisms help convey my connection to the earth, my past, and the teachings of Ironbeard, adding depth to my interactions with others.

Goals
As a fledgling warden, every day is a lesson in understanding the delicate balance of nature and my place within it. While I'm still in the initial stages of my journey, I'm driven by a deep aspiration to uncover ancient rituals or sacred sites that can strengthen my bond with the land. There's so much of the warden's legacy I've yet to explore, and I'm eager to soak in all the knowledge I can. The thought of someday passing down what I learn to other budding wardens excites me. Yet, even at this nascent stage, I'm aware of potential threats. Galdar's shadow is a stark reminder that vigilance is necessary, not just for my growth but for the safety of all I hold dear.

Flaws
My steadfast dedication to embodying the warden's ideals has often meant that I prioritize the safety and well-being of my companions above all else. Their concerns become my concerns, and I find myself constantly vigilant, ensuring that no harm befalls them, sometimes even at my own expense. This intense focus on my duties makes me a reliable ally in the thick of battle and a steadfast guardian during rest. Yet, my fervor can sometimes lead to overprotectiveness, as I tend to shoulder challenges on my own to spare others. While this deep sense of responsibility reinforces my commitment to the group, I must learn to trust in the strength and capabilities of my companions as well.

Fears
While I stand as a beacon of protection for my companions, deep-seated fears occasionally grip my heart. I dread the thought of facing an adversary or situation beyond my fledgling warden capabilities, leading to harm befalling those I've sworn to shield. This fear is exacerbated by stories of ancient entities and powerful magics that even the most experienced wardens struggled against. Additionally, the vastness of the world and the depth of the warden's path sometimes overwhelm me. The notion of getting lost, both in unknown terrains and metaphorically in the weight of my responsibilities, haunts my quieter moments, reminding me of the immense journey ahead.
