When you were a kid, you lived with your grandmother in the small town of Silvertree, on the edge of a magical forest. Grandma is a witch, and she taught you how to use your magic to affect the natural world, too. “Magic is a part of you,” she always told you. “Learning how to use it means figuring out who you are.”

If a Witch forms a bond over many years with a natural place, that place will become part of their being.


That's why you went to live in the forest—and why you, after living there so long, can move and change parts of the forest like it's a part of your body, and even conjure small elements of it. But at the same time, just like you have no idea what's happening inside your heart or your lungs, there's so much you can't possibly know about the forest. Really, that's one of the things you love about it.


Of course, there are so many reasons you love the forest that it's hard to narrow it down—but if you had to choose, you think you'd say that what you love most about the forest is:
