Home
Autumn has lived in the Lost Woods for as long as she can remember, having been raised by the Fairies that inhabit it and that she’s come to call the Forest Spirits. While she feels at home almost everywhere in the forest, she primarily makes her home in a particular clearing hidden deep in the woods, which she refers to as the Spirits’ Glade. While she is protective of the entire forest, it is in here that she tolerates absolutely no trespassing.

Companions
- Wolfos (Combat Companion): Autumn is consistently followed around by a relatively small, domesticated brown Wolfos. The limp he had for years has been healed recently, and he's quickly regained his ability to use his leg properly, making him a fully functional predator. While normally friendly and docile, he will fight adversaries bigger than himself if it is to protect Autumn.

Weapons
- Longbow: Autumn is a near-peerless archer, so it’s no surprise that the longbow is her primary weapon of choice. Hers is quite mundane, but well-maintained.
- Shortsword: At close range, Autumn is able to defend herself with a sword. However, her swordplay is much less sublime than her archery.
- Boomerang: While commonly mistaken for a child's toy, Autumn's boomerang is a valuable addition to her arsenal. Amongst others, it allows her to retrieve items and spring traps from afar without wasting valuable arrows.

Armour
- Leather Armor: Covering her chest and shoulders, padding her gauntlets and boots, and preventing her dress from getting caught in her bowstring, Autumn wears extremely lightweight leather armor. It has no special properties whatsoever.
- White Hide: Crafted from the pelt of an enormous White Wolfos that was once partially responsible for the blizzard covering North Hyrule, Autumn's White Cape protects her from ice magic and extremely low temperatures.

Other possessions
- Hawkeye: A wooden cap, carved into the likeness of a hawk's head. Autumn wears it at all times, and when she pulls it down over her eyes she can use it to better see things that are far away from her.
- Deku Leaf: A large leaf, about as long as Autumn's armspan, which she uses to either bowl enemies over with a gust of wind or to glide from treetop to treetop. Using it during the Song of Storms' effect is recommended against.
- Deku Nut Supply: On her waist, Autumn carries a small pouch, just big enough to hold a single Deku Nut. However, as long as she pulls them out one at a time, the Deku Nuts inside the pouch have no end.

Instincts
- Sense: Having grown up in the Lost Woods, Autumn has developed a strong sixth sense for danger. She instinctively knows when someone near her has hostile intentions and will not hesitate to act in response.

Magic
- Song of Storms: Autumn can conjure up extreme weather by performing this mysterious song. Due to her ties with the Wind element, this is often a powerful gale or outright storm. She has no means of controlling or stopping it, though.
- Wind Enchantment: After being momentarily invaded by the evil residing in the Mirror Shard at Snowpeak Ruins, Autumn has received the ability to conjure up wind around a weapon of her choosing. She often uses this on her arrows to give them a little extra punch.


Appearance
Tall, slender, and with a graceful build, Autumn would probably catch the eyes of many if she showed herself outside the Lost Woods more often. She shows no remarkable traces of extensive training, and yet is strong enough and has enough stamina to climb trees effortlessly. Her most recognisable feature is her light blonde hair, which is braided down her back, down to her waist. Under her fringe, she has blue eyes and she sports the trademark pointed ears of the Hylian race.

Autumn dresses in green and earthy tones, to help her blend into the Lost Woods where she makes her home. Her usual clothing consists of a one-piece green dress, the ankle-length skirt split up both sides and the top closed to her collarbone, with short sleeves. She covers her feet in brown leather boots and her hands in fingerless gauntlets of the same material. She also has a small breastplate and pauldrons made of leather, in a darker shade of brown.

Around her waist, the Guardian has several items attached to her belt. Her Deku Leaf is curled up and stuck into a loop on it, her sword is stuck between the belt and her dress without sheath, her boomerang is strapped to it and she can attach her bow to it. On the other hand, Autumn carries her quiver on her back, strapped tightly over her chest under her breastplate. Her Hawkeye is worn on her head, in the form of a wooden cap-like carving of a bird’s head.


Personality
Autumn is as mysterious as the woods she lives in. She’s very detached from Hylian society and instead at home in the Lost Woods, perfectly fine with living according to the survival of the fittest. While she takes no pleasure in killing, she has no inhibitions about fatally shooting anyone who sets foot into the Spirits’ Glade or who threatens the Lost Woods in general. Additionally, Autumn is a thief; everything she owns, down to the clothes she wears, is stolen from travellers and she still regularly steals arrows and new weapons to replace her worn-out ones.

However, if one looks past her occasionally questionable morals, they will see that Autumn is a kind woman with no evil in her heart. She is cheerful on her own, but quiet and cold when faced with human company. She has learned how to interact with people by observing the travellers she leads safely out of the confusing and dangerous Lost Woods, as well as those she robbed to obtain her equipment. As such, she knows how to interact with people, but she still prefers the solitude of the forest. Guiding the lost ones is part of the tasks given to her by her masters, however, and she does it with diligence.

Autumn is fanatically loyal to the Fairies she calls the Forest Spirits, and will not hesitate to carry out any order they impose on her, no matter how ridiculous, dangerous, or immoral. While not a warm person in most cases, her true hatred is reserved for those who are openly known to be a consistent threat to the Woods.


History
From her appearance and her skills, it can be inferred that Autumn is a full-blood Hylian; however, she has no idea who she is or who her parents were. Her earliest memories are of the Lost Woods, where she was found and brought up by a group of Fairies inhabiting a small shrine. For as long as she can remember, these Fairies have been her only family, naming her after the time of year in which they found her, and ever since her early teens she has not spared a thought for the Hylians that either lost or abandoned her here.

For most children, being abandoned in the woods would have spelled certain doom. However, for reasons unknown to Autumn, the Fairies decided she was different. Rather than leaving her to her fate, they fed her, gave her a roof above her head, and motivated her to train- from an early age onwards, Autumn practiced stealth, archery, swordplay, and even some degree of magic, growing a tight bond with the Lost Woods and its inhabitants as well as developing an affinity for wind magic. More than anything, however, she proved a prodigal archer.

Her close ties to the Lost Woods as her home, as well as her varied skills and dedication to the job, qualified Autumn as the ‘Guardian of the Lost Woods,’ and soon, the Fairies called upon her to patrol the woods and protect them from those who would do it harm, as well as to guide innocent people who had gotten lost in their winding paths back to safety. She has taken the title upon herself and to this day, she diligently carries out any task the Fairies, which she calls the Forest Spirits, give her aside from her patrols.

Although her loyalty lies with the Lost Woods and she rarely leaves them of her own volition, Autumn has been known to leave the forest in order to deal with threats coming from the outside. One such occasion was when she travelled to the Northern Hills to deal with the White Wolfos that was partially responsible for the blizzard that was slowly starting to cover Hyrule. She was accompanied by Jayden Darrah, a Hylian guard who initially strongly underestimated her abilities. After settling things with the enormous canine, Autumn returned to the Lost Woods. Similarly, she’s left once to have the then-crippled leg of her Wolfos friend seen to.

Cold made way to heat as the 'warlock' Stjarnstill quickly took up his old tricks again. Unfortunately for both, this time his tricks coincided with Autumn sensing evil within the Forest Temple hidden within the Lost Woods. With unusual circumstances demanding unusual measures, the Warlock and the Guardian combined strengths with each other and a Kokiri Child by the name of Keiliegh L'Archa to cleanse the Forest Temple.

With the Forest Temple cleansed, the Fairies that Autumn refers to as the Forest Spirits put her to the test. She was sent to a new, inhospitably cold territory, this time the Snowpeak mountain range. Here, she met with Jayden Darrah once more, as well as with a girl by the name of Abigail. The three of them, together with resident Yeto, successfully navigated the ruins of Snowpeak Manor, at the end of which Autumn found a shard of what appeared to be a mirror. The evil within it temporarily nested in her head, but she managed to expel it, although it left the power of the Wind Enchantment within her.

As far as I am aware it is perfectly kosher to have a Wolfos as a pet. And your backstory doesn't defy anything in the HC lore that I am aware of. Keep on writing and making characters hopefully we'll roleplay sometime.
