It is a man of robust values, somebody with darkish secrets and techniques, and deep suspicion particularly in direction of anybody questioning the relationship along with his youngsters. He’s a protector. I do love the thought of enjoying a park ranger for a lot of causes, which I’m not going to enter depth right here now. Once I was researching about this character, I appreciated what they described as what a park ranger is. I feel lots of people have type of, like, a stereotypical thought of what a park ranger does and what sort of particular person is that this. I found that there’s three pillars on a park ranger: The regulation enforcement individuals, however they could possibly be environmental consultants and even like a historian, or the mixture of the three. Now we have with Garrett a mix of the three. I don’t need to disclose rather more, as a result of I need the viewers to find who this character is.
