Soren son of Leif
Soren son of Leif is the woodcutter of New Cresthill, a young man caught between the expectations of his family and his own aspirations in the harsh and unforgiving hamlet.
Personality: Soren is a determined and introspective young man who carries the weight of his responsibilities with a heavy heart. He often feels trapped between his longing for a different path and the sense of duty instilled by his father. He is quiet and thoughtful, with a hidden fire of ambition burning within him.
Goals: Soren's primary goal is to fulfill his duties as the woodcutter and provide the hamlet with the firewood and lumber needed for survival. However, his secret goal is to pursue his dream of becoming a blacksmith, a craft he has admired since childhood but has never had the opportunity to pursue.
Daily Routine: His day begins early, as he heads into the Blackwood Forest to chop down trees and gather firewood. He spends long hours laboring under the canopy, his thoughts often drifting to the clanging of the blacksmith's forge. In the evenings, he assists Jonas, the blacksmith, with various tasks and secretly hones his skills whenever he can.
Quirks: Soren has a unique quirk of collecting small metal objects and scraps from the forest and the village, secretly amassing a hidden stash of materials that he hopes to use when he can finally pursue his dream of blacksmithing.
Motivations: Soren is motivated by a sense of duty to his family and the hamlet, knowing that his woodcutting skills are essential for their survival. However, his deeper motivation lies in his burning desire to become a blacksmith, a dream that represents a brighter future beyond the bleakness of New Cresthill.
Connections: Soren has a close but strained relationship with his father, Leif, who expects him to carry on the family tradition of woodcutting. He admires Jonas, the blacksmith, and often seeks his guidance and assistance in honing his blacksmithing skills. He shares a quiet bond with Marris the trapper, whom he often crosses paths with in the Blackwood, as they both understand the weight of unfulfilled dreams. He has developed an unrequited love for her.
Loves: Soren loves the sound of the hammer against the anvil and the rhythmic clanging of the blacksmith's forge. He also loves the serenity he finds in the rare moments when he can quietly practice his blacksmithing skills, a brief escape from his daily routine.
Hates: Soren's growing frustration and resentment center around the fact that Marris, the trapper, seems to have eyes only for Garin, the village leader. He finds himself longing for her attention and wishes she would show an interest in him instead. This unrequited attraction leads to a growing disdain for Garin, as Soren sees him as the obstacle standing between him and Marris's affection.
