Skill Focus: Knowledge (nature) as a bonus feat.Wild One - A slightly more powerful animal companion with fey blood.  It begins with +1 hit point per Hit Die, +2 Dex, and +2 Cha.  However, it’s always “unfriendly” to anyone not its master.  It’s also supposed to not want to enter any settlement larger than a thorp.  I had envisioned a scholarly druid that was drawing her power from the fey left in the city, fey that are probably at least cruel, if not crazy and/or evil.  Fey are supposed to be great tricksters.Nature Sense – As per normal druid.2nd level: Blessing of the Fey -
