Svan de'Silvae
ㅤThe Woodland Dragoonㅤ
"How could one vow to protect the forest they were born in from outsiders when they themselves feel like one within it?"
Born in the Skatay Range and trained as a Wood-warder, Svan left his Veena tribe at a young age to discover what other adventures the Source had to offer. Now residing in The Black Shroud, he has worked tirelessly to earn himself the title of The Woodland Dragoon, and has quietly taken on the role of The Warrior of Light..

ㅤpersonalityㅤㅤGentle and sweet-tempered, he enjoys making others feel comfortable and is always eager to help them. Svan is loyal and protective, highly valuing those he becomes close with. He enjoys some time to himself in the forests of the Black Shroud, but he fears truly being alone and isolated.
Svan still feels a deep connection to nature and the woods, and enjoys working to protect both on his own terms rather than for tradition. Wood-warder training has taught him to strike first and never ask questions, but he believes that philosophy creates more problems than solving them. He would prefer to avoid conflict, especially on his behalf, but he will not think twice and jump into action if someone he cares for is being threatened.
ㅤlife with the VeenaㅤㅤBorn as Virens Rawbewesfv in the Skatay Range, Svan was taken from his village at the very beginning of his adulthood to become a Wood-warder. He gave himself the name Svavorn to signify this next stage of life.
Wood-warder was long, exhausting, and brutal, claiming the lives of many that Svan had come to know well. Watching those he had started to consider his family perish left Svan feeling guilty and sorrowful, and he remains deeply scarred by these memories. Svan was told more times than he could count that the training was to teach young males how to survive "without the crutch of companionship", but was having someone you could rely on such a bad thing?
Svan had heard some tales of the world outside of his Veena village while growing up, causing him to question their culture, but it was during his training that he'd hear actual accounts of those who had left and parted from the traditional way of Viera life. Those stories filled him with dreams and hope of the possibilities in store for him beyond the Skatay woods. Svan also thought that, due to the culture of the Veena, he was given little other choice than to have his life's path be decided for him. Despite this, he showed great promise during his training and was more than capable of holding his own...
Even so, the thought of his feats only earning him complete solitude filled him with immense dread. Svan could also hardly stomach the idea of fulfilling other Viera customs, mainly the potential of having children he'd never meet, or going to retrieve more men from the village to train and repeat the cycle. Not long after, he would decide to leave behind the forest he had grown up in and the name "Svavorn", and begin to carve his own path. A life he could decide upon for himself...
ㅤthe beginning of "Svan"ㅤ Timid and overwhelmed, Svan initially struggled to make his way through the outside world. He didn't know the common languages, often afraid to try to actually speak to anyone and hardly understanding what anyone was saying to him. With the help of another man boarding the ship to Eorzea, he adopted the city name "Svan" and learned how to communicate enough to make his way around.
