Finnan is a short, sturdy halfling with sun-darkened skin and hair the color of damp peat. He wears a cloak stitched from various shades of forest moss and sturdy leather armor reinforced with strips of bark. His eyes are a bright, piercing emerald green, and he always smells faintly of rain and pine needles.

Quiet and observant, Finnan prefers the rustle of leaves to the chatter of crowds. He speaks with a slow, measured cadence as if weighing every word against the truth of the earth. Though he can be gruff with city dwellers, he is deeply compassionate toward injured creatures and wilting flora.

Finnan was raised in the rugged outskirts of the Whisperleaf Forest, far from the comfortable shires of most halfling folk. While his kin built cozy holes in the hills, Finnan learned to sleep in the hollows of ancient trees and track the migration patterns of the Great Elk. He served as a wilderness guide for a decade, leading lost travelers through the shifting mountain passes and protecting the delicate groves from careless woodcutters. His life changed when he encountered a dying dryad who shared the ancient whispers of the woods with him, sparking a latent connection to the natural world. Since that day, he has embraced the path of the druid, acting as a bridge between the civilized world and the untamed wilds. He left his home to investigate a strange, unnatural sickness creeping into the roots of the world, following the flow of the rivers to find its source. He carries the weight of the forest's survival on his small shoulders, believing that if the wild places fall, the shires will soon follow.
