”I’ll never be the best, but at least I try.” - Braul
Biography
Braul is a shapeshifter who was born in the frozen north, where he learned to survive the harsh winters and hunt with his bow. He always felt a connection to nature and animals, especially the chocobos, which are large, flightless birds that can be ridden like horses. Braul discovered that he could transform into different forms, such as a human or a saytr. He used his shapeshifting abilities to explore different lands and cultures, and to escape from danger.
Braul eventually settled in the pine mountains of the south, where he found a peaceful and beautiful place to live. He befriended the local people and animals, and became known for his archery skills, his artistic talent, and his chocobo training. He often participated in competitions and festivals, where he displayed his prowess with the bow and his creativity with the paintbrush. He also enjoyed riding his chocobo across the hills and valleys, feeling the wind in his hair and the freedom in his heart.
Braul is a friendly and adventurous person, who loves to learn new things and meet new people. He is loyal to his friends and respectful of his enemies. He is not afraid of challenges or changes, but rather embraces them as opportunities to grow and discover. He is happy with his life in the pine mountains, but he also dreams of visiting other places and seeing other wonders of the world. He believes that life is a journey, and he is eager to see where it will take him next.
