From my personal project - Aurana
⠀
The Mari are a forest-dwelling species, they are introspective, free thinkers. They have close communal family bonds, often sharing parental responsibilities. They have a deep spiritual connection to the lands and the God of their home.
As this connection grew, the Mari formed physical changes appearing on their heads. The Mari who deepen their knowledge and spiritual bonds further find their physical form changes too, much like a flower blooming.⠀
