Strength is the representation of a character's raw physical power. The force of one's physical blows, and to a lesser extent one's overall endurance. Strength ties in well with several skills that rely on raw power. Strong characters may carry several things without slowing, or become great physical powerhouses.
Sample skills:
-Blacksmithing
-Bash
Nimbleness represents a character's agility and dexterity, and to a lesser extent flexibility. Even untrained nimble characters will find it easier to scale trees, although it does not include the knowledge to create objects from material. Nimble characters tend to be great climbers, or with sufficient Craft, fine tradesbeasts.
Sample skills:
-Forest Craft (Along with Craft)
-Climbing
Prowess is another application of strength and agility, similar yet separate from both. It deals primarily in the use of one's body and and weapons, natural or otherwise, for combat, although exceptions may exist. Characters with high prowess may often become martial artists or weapon masters.
Sample skills:
-Tail Whip
-Paw Arts
Craft takes the form of a character's creativity and ability to act without wasted motion, among other things. To a strong degree, it greatly affects one's mental reserves. Crafty characters can be skilled tradesbeasts, or sneaky thieves or information gatherers.
Sample skills:
-Hiding
-Forest Craft (Along with Nimbleness)
Luck is exactly as it may sound. It takes no physical form, yet it is believed to have a great impact on one's life, especially one's fortune, good or ill. Lucky characters may find more items more frequently, or may simply have the good fortune of simply being out of the way of an incoming blow.
Sample skills:
-Scrounging
-Flinging
Awareness controls a character's overall perceptiveness. High awareness can spot others in hiding, see through even the smallest holes in a disguise, or pick up even on small vibrations running through the ground. Some characters will find considerable use in Awareness-based skills, if not simply through passive benefits.
Sample skills:
-Detection
-Thumping (Language)
Fortitude plays a large factor in a character's overall hardiness and stamina, allowing for greater periods of uninterrupted sprinting, or greater endurance in a fight.
Sample skills:

-Running
Intelligence is a creature's mental acuity, be it book-smarts or simple problem-solving skills. Like with Craft, it plays a role in a creature's mental reserves, allowing them to remain focused on tasks that require concentration.
