- A connection to the feeling of freedom inspired by the natural world, feeling as free and wild as the plants and creatures
- A connection to a feeling of thriving without human intervention, like an ecosystem turning and renewing, growing and surviving
- Feeling as though one's identity is as unknowable, awe-inspiring, wonderful, and filled with raw power
- A connection to decay and other remnants of life found in the forest (bones, feathers, shells, etc.)
- A connection to the fullness of life, forests and other environments absolutely bustling with creatures and unseen activity
- A connection to wild creatures and growing plants, in an alterhuman way or otherwise
Wilderic is not inherently a xenogender, but may overlap with it and any other umbrella terms.
