Description
You were actually born into the nomadic tribe which is known to be Ticklebelly Hills home. You have been migrated from a location to location, living off a land with your familiar tribe. Of course the tribe would seasonally migrate south into the Grass Sea and the Giant’s Cairn, north into a Dragonspine Mountains, and probably occasionally east across the Stojanow River to the borders of the Quivering Forest. Suppose in your migrations, your people came to know the stone giant tribes that populate the Giant’s Cairn.
However the dragon cultists came over to the hills one day – magic – users wearing purple and riding horrid beasts, the black-clad warriors wearing wicked masks and most probably the soldiers from the nearby town of Phlan.
After that the dragon being called Vorgansharax arrived and laired in the hills, reason being horrid thickets to be grown and animals to act unusually. Mainly the cultists has began raiding nomad camps for the victims in order to offer to the wyrm. But eventually, the dragon has been moved on to attack Phlan, but life was never again the same for the nomads of the Ticklebelly Hills. Also check out this dnd 5e background prisoner.

Feature: At Home in the Wild
In this dnd backgrounds series this feature has so much attention towards who are playing dnd 5th edition in recent times. Once check it out altogether.
The wilderness is your home and of course you are comfortable dwelling in it. Probably you could find a place for being hide yourself, rest, or even for recuperate when you’re out in the wild. So this place of rest has been secure enough to conceal you from most of the natural threats.
The threats which are supernatural, magical, or are actively seeking you out might do so with difficulty depending on the nature of the threat (as determined by the DM). However, this feature does not shield or conceal you from scrying, mental probing, nor from threats that don’t necessarily require the five senses to find out you. In any case you can also check out this dnd 5e explorer background.
Suggested Characteristics
The ticklebelly nomads shall venture into civilization when it is mandatory. You are social within your tribe, but with the tribes of other nomads, and also even with the stone giant tribes which populate the Giant’s Cairn. In any case, some of the other communities tend to either put you on your guard or even put you in a state of wonder. Also read this wanderer background 5e.
So the question is like was it this wonder that enticed you into a life of adventuring? On the other hand, you are fiercely protective of and dedicated to your tribe. Probably it was this dedication that led you to venture out; either of your own will or at the behest of your tribe’s leaders.
