Name: Gin 
Species: Deku Scrub
Specific Description: Gin is short, as expected for most dekus. His eyes are large and lack pupils, being brilliantly orang. He wears nothing more than a hood cape made of yellow leaves and pantaloons that are made of rust-colored leaves. His skin looks to be made of wood, and his hair is green and is made up of bushes. It is styled into a large pompodaur and near the edge of his head's back is a green flower with red and white tints. His mouth is very brown and wide, his face forming a perpetually angry expression.
Typical Species abilities: Like all dekus, Gin is able to hide into deku flowers. He can use these for storage space, temporary homes, and can spring put of them with propeller-like flowers that will momentarily keep him in the air. He is also able to shoot deku nuts from his mouth, which can cause a blinding flash to appear that will leave anyone in its range stunned. Gin also has great speed, especially when he is frightened. He can also spin to defeat weak enemies, only stunning more powerful foes.
Personal Skills: Gin is skilled at creating potions and possesses an extensive knowledge of the history of the world.
Starting equipment: Gin has a map of hyrule tucked away in one of his pantaloon's pockets. He has a sack with a scarce amount of rupees in it.
Home: Gin lived at the deku swamp, in a wooden log cabin where he was taught by an old witch.
Backstory: Since the day he was born, Gin had always been raised by an eccentric witch who was ridiculously strict. He was said to have been found somewhere in the Woods of Mystery, doing nothing more than serenely playing with a monkey. There were no sign of any parents as far as the eye could see, and in her old age, she needed an apprentice to pass her skills down to. 

As multiple years passed, Gin was taught everything the witch knew. But he soon grew frustrated at the witch. He had little sense of freedom other than to study day in and day out, constantly being monitored by the witch. This lead to his personality being crabby, albeit a bit naive due to his lack of experience with the real world. He was never able to explore the world beyond the same swamp he was accustomed to seeing.

After becoming tired of the swamp, he left without a trace. Any world would be better than the monotonous one he was already being forced to live in. But upon leaving the swamp, he was immediately attacked by a dog that had strayed from his owner, which afflicted him with cynophobia. As continued on into Termina itself, he found it to be not much better.

Despite being years older than them, Gin was always picked on by the local children and judged by them. Even though the majority of the adults were able to at least respect him, he felt that they were too condescending because of resemblance to a regular deku child. These inconveniences made him even grumpier than before, his fragile world view has been shattered and he felt a pang of regret for leaving his teacher, but was still too prideful to go back.

He soon left Termina for Hyrule, hoping to become safer from the darkness that began to envelope the land.
