History
The ancient Greeks told stories of fauns, these fantastic beings half goat half man, fond of jokes and who walked through the woods playing with the wind.
They are evoked with a romantic vision of nature and unleashed passions.
But have you ever heard of a female faun? Our character here is one. She is half deer, half human, and her story begins in a mountainous latitude in the so-called New World.
She is a being of the earth, guardian of the ecosystems. She knows the cryptic languages in plants and animals and knows how to translate them into human language. Imagine how many friends you could have with her! Surely you will want to take it with you on all your trips and walks outdoors.
