Help with Creating a Character

This community lives a gentle life, for the most part: slow-paced, and strongly connected to the land. They are at the mercy of the elements.
Being set apart from the mainland and the rest of the world means change is slow and can be sluggish, but they are a tight-knit and hardy bunch who take care of each other.
They love a celebration, and will take any excuse to sing and feast. Gatherings often involve storytelling, and often about their ancestors, The Fae.
Some of them believe in magic. Not the sparkly kind, but the old kind. Magic that comes from the land, and is always returned to the land in the end.
Good examples of tone are the sound of the traditional waulking song for the making of broadcloth, the look and feel of the Outer Hebrides, and traditional crofting houses.
You are invited to craft a character from the island, or anywhere else in the world. How involved you get in the action is entirely up to you: nothing is forced. You can also simply be yourself and observe, if you'd prefer.
To help you craft the broad outline of a character, here's some questions and information:
Are you simply observing?
Or are you just visiting?
Do you actually live here? Check out suggestions for the roles your character might play in this community in the sidebar links.
You're welcome to make more than one character. You're also welcome to craft a character and then not play them. We'd love to hear their description, if you want to share - but you don't have to.
