Cool of the Evening, a name whispered with reverence among the denizens of the ancient forest, is an aasimar paladin whose valor is matched only by her devotion to the sanctity of nature. At twenty-eight years of age, her presence is a beacon of hope and strength, her lanky frame belying the power she wields. Clad in gleaming chain mail that catches the dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy, she stands as a sentinel of the woods. Her brown hair, often tied back in a practical braid, and piercing blue eyes that seem to hold the depth of the sky, mark her as a figure of both beauty and battle-readiness. In her hands, she holds a sword that has tasted the blood of those who would defile the sacred groves, and a shield emblazoned with the symbol of her faith—a crescent moon intertwined with a leaf, signifying her dual allegiance to the celestial and the sylvan realms.
Cool's heart beats with the desire to protect the ancient forest, a realm she views as a living testament to the divine. Her quest is to safeguard its purity from the encroaching darkness of industrialization and the greed of men. Yet, the world beyond the trees does not understand her dedication, seeing her as an obstacle to progress. They cannot see the beauty she defends, nor the delicate balance she strives to maintain. In response, Cool has taken to the shadows of the forest, engaging in guerrilla tactics to thwart the advance of loggers and poachers. Her strategy is effective because she knows the forest as intimately as she knows the tenets of her faith, using its secrets to her advantage.
Her journey is fraught with internal and external conflicts. Within, she wrestles with the righteousness of her cause against the potential for violence it necessitates. Externally, she faces the relentless advance of civilization and the occasional betrayal by those she thought allies. Yet, her resolve remains unshaken, her faith in her mission unwavering. As she continues her vigil, the forest thrives under her protection, a testament to her enduring spirit. Her tale is one of resilience, a narrative that speaks to the heart of those who believe in the sanctity of nature and the power of one soul's dedication.
Cool's unique trait is her ability to communicate with the forest's creatures, a gift bestowed upon her by the celestial forces she serves. This connection not only aids her in her mission but deepens her bond with the land she protects, making her more than just a guardian—she is a part of the forest itself.
