Example1: Rima, a character from W.H. Hudson's Green Mansion, is the girl who lived all her life in the forest who is often referred by the natives as a sylvan or a spirit living in the woods that protects everything in it, a tale that makes these natives don't want to hunt there.

I guess I can practically say that our place is sylvan.
