Definitely Kyne. I chose to study environmental biology in college, and my proudest work was in that field. My favorite place to be is between the ocean and the sky. The goddess of the Storm would be a natural fit for me.
In Oblivion/KotN I was disappointed by Kynareth’s “Let the bear eat you” test. Everything I know about nature tells me that a worthy member of the predator faction (given by wearing the reward for not fighting the bear) would defend themself rather than turtle up or just stand there. Not necessarily kill the guardian bear, but at the least try to defeat it. I get that the character is supposed to show humility, but that does not ring true to what a nature deity would value in my experience. So Kyne’s Sacred Trials in Skyrim sealed the deal for me.
I still think that defeating a guardian spirit (in the Skyrim Trials) should let you summon its animal as a familiar. That would be neat.
That said, the Skaal’s notion of the All-Maker also has a lot of appeal to me.
