Ayal is a playful stag and enjoys nothing more than having fun with other deer in the forest. He loves to dance in formation making lines or circles only to suddenly get a surge of energy and start running and jumping around to show how fit and healthy he is to any does that might be watching.

Ayal for all his energy is similarly easily bored or distracted, do not be offended if he suddenly runs off. He has probably just seen something that just has to be investigated immediately and will often return in due course often with someone new to join in his games. He revels in company, especially company that will play or dance with him.

It took him a long time to find a personality and he is still discovering himself in many ways and making gentle enquiries into the lives of other deer in the forest as he does. Ayal is a very tolerant stag and is more than happy to lie down next to any deer or faun that might cross his path or share a nuzzle with one. Really he just wants to be friends with everyone though is more than happy to share a spar with other stags when the time is right.

Ayal has a particular interest in mini deer and can often be seen standing over them attempting to guard them, though if he sees someone being harassed by another deer it is more than likely he will step in and make a stand, though he will not hold a grudge and while he may be aggressive one day when trying to protect his charge he would nuzzle you the next day without a hint of venom.

History

Having fallen into the stream as a young deer and almost drowning Ayal has acquired a crippling fear of the water and nothing will make him venture too close to the pond or stream. Making him stop several feet from the water and paw at the ground desperately trying to make his friend come back out. It also means he will often take long detours around the water only very rarely jumping over or crossing the bridge.

Otherwise he grew up in a small herd just outside the Endless forest and was eventually driven out by the dominant stag when he reached maturity but found a place for himself in the endless forest where he could be happy and has plenty of other deer to play with.
