Residing in the depths of a dense forest near a village gripped by fear, Aric is a misunderstood guardian, devoted to the protection of his woodland home. He speaks of intelligence and empathy, while his brown eyes reflect a profound longing for connection. Despite the villagers' apprehension and the burden of solitude, Aric remains steadfast in his commitment to peace, wielding his strength not as a weapon, but as a shield to safeguard the tranquility of the forest and its inhabitants. ___
