Garland/History

==History==
Garland used to live in lakes of the northern forests where he would lure women to the water with his music. Some would escape, others got killed, but what they had in common was that they all rejected him once they saw his face. As the rumor spread of his existence, people would begin throwing nails into the lakes to repel him. He was not very popular with the forest creatures either as he had a habit of eating the littlest folk who ventured too close.
He once made friends with a dryad who saved him from drying out while he was travelling from one lake to another, and he stayed with her for a few decades. Though, luck would have that a small nomadic tribe cut down the dryad's tree during their stay in her forest, killing her along with it. Filled with rage and sorrow, Garland murdered the entire tribe and went into hibernation.
After a year he awoke again, and the thoughts of the dryad would haunt him till the day he met Peyton. It was an awkward, slightly hectic first meeting, but Peyton saw his true intentions and that he was just lonely, so they were quickly on good terms, and eventually became friends. When she planned to travel far away to Almaria with Paol as her guide he secretly followed, swimming all the way across the ocean. In the ocean, he was suddenly faced with larger, stronger creatures than himself and fewer opportunities for food, so for a whole week while traveling across he was struggling to survive.
He was beyond exhausted once he washed up on new land, but fortunately Paol's instincts had made Peyton and himself stay at the shores so that they were there to receive him and help him back to health.
Now living relatively closer to each other, Garland and Peyton would more often go on adventures together, and one winter he went to stay with her instead of hibernating. During this stay, he started to come out of his shell, going from an introverted half-beast, only clinging to his music, to a socially functioning, outgoing individual with an interest in life. And as his personality started to grow, so did his relationship with Peyton. It is hard to pinpoint the exact moment in which they became a pair, but after they did, Garland changed his race to match that of Peyton to show his commitment.
