Hey queen! I'm Leaf, and I'll be reviewing your app.
I say that, but there aren't much to correct in your app, so kudos to you! The only thing that I have a problem with is the skills of Namal, some of which could use some clarifications.
Farming (animal tending): I think the word you are looking for here is 'animal husbandry', just so there isn't any confusion.
Swimming & Climbing: Given that these skills aren't really 'skills', as in skills you can use in trade, I suggest you remove them. For us, it's more a question whether the character can or cannot climb or swim really, and you can show that in your RP's.
Lumberjacking: This profession is something that needs some serious manpower, and I rather doubt that Namal's brothers would have let her swing an axe, so please remove this skill.
Carpentry: This, I also think, is a rather unlikely skill, as this also involves working with sharp tools, tools that would be difficult for a young girl to wield. However, if you can give a suitable explanation, I am willing to consider the skill.
Herbalism/Medicine: We consider herbalism and medicine to be separate skills, because herbalism mainly involves the knowledge of the healing or harming properties of herbs and other plants, while medicine involves the knowledge of synthesizing those materials to have a desired effect, mostly for healing.
I suggest you separate the two, and perhaps lower the skill level for medicine, because the old woman who taught her was a herbalist herself, and would have taught more about herbalism.
Story telling & Child tending: This is a similar case to the swimming and climbing issue. I don't think these needs to be specifically listed as a skill, so I'd say you can remove this as well.
So to make it neat and nicer for you:
Major:
Farming (crops): Novice
Animal husbandry: Apprentice
Wood carving: Novice
Herbalism: Apprentice
Medicine: Novice
Minor:
Pathfinding: Apprentice
Gathering: Competent
This is the skill list I recommend, however, if you have any objections, or would like to include the other skills, I suggest you give a suitable explanation in your next edit. Bump the thread once you're done!
