Fey Child

At a young age, you found yourself deep within the fey wilds. Were you lost in the woods? Abandoned by your family, either by personal means or to fulfill a deal? Maybe kidnapped by fairies or other magical deities that were curious about what you were? Either way, for a major portion of your life, you grew up with many fey beings, either with good or bad intentions. But after years within their realm, you found yourself back on the material plane, either by chance or on purpose. Maybe you were curious to learn where you came from? Maybe you wanted to escape those who held you captive? Whatever the reason, you're here now, and it's up to you to determine where your story heads from here.
Skill Proficiencies: Nature and Stealth
Tool Proficiencies: One musical instrument
Languages: Sylvan
Equipment: A set of common clothing, a coin pouch holding 10 gp, a flower or other small item from the Feywild, a toy from your previous family, a musical instrument of your choice, and a water-skin
