Ayla, Half-Beast Guardian

Lore
Ayla was both beast and goddess. She was charged with guarding a holy sanctuary on the surface, but that was just an excuse for the other gods to banish the half-beast abomination from the Heavens. And yet, contrary to their expectations, the serene forest suited Ayla perfectly. For here, she did not have to worry about pleasing self-absorbed deities.
