- Watched the devouring of one of her fawns

She is extremely shy and skittish, and will cower at strangers and flee if they get too close. To gain her trust, spend time with her and do not force your presence upon her. She will see that you are 'safe' and will feel more relaxed and thus become a bit braver - it doesn't usually take her too long to become calmer around you. But the more abrupt moves you make while she is still nervous, the less brave she'll be, and she'll eventually run off if you come too close too soon. Come several yards away so she sees you, and be calm. Let her come to you (:

If a deer is pretending to be kind to her, and acts friendly, she'll think they mean well and her fear of them will fade faster. If a deer ever gives her reasons why doing bad things is to her advantage, she'll believe it - or, at least, be too afraid to say no.

She is as fascinated by the things that scare her as she is frightened of them. If there is an individual who, for example, chases her or she witnesses do something bad, she'll become afraid of them but very curious as well. She may follow them if she senses them somewhere in the forest or watch them from afar frequently. She might be reckless enough to approach in close quarters if the individual is sleeping, even if she's well aware that the outcome may mean injury to herself. She doesn't know why she does this, and actually doesn't realize this is unusual - she hasn't ever given it much thought.

She also likes to follow and observe deer that catch her interest without having scared her. She focuses on things and becomes overly focused on them. Performing aggressive actions {lowering antlers, taunting, rearing, charging} will chase her off in case she's feeling persistent enough not to have fled just from being noticed.

Liange isn't afraid of fawns, but after an incident, tends to avoid them. However, if a fawn shows aggression, Liange will attempt to convince it to behave otherwise. She doesn't like bad behavior in fawns - she wants to guide them to be good individuals. She less afraid of does and mini deer, however if they make sudden moves around her, her fear will grow. Nameless deer set her on edge because of their unpredictability.

She is a sweet and gentle doe, but seems like she is hiding something secret. She's vague and brief when she speaks of some things, probably even lying. She usually behaves this way when talking about her past or her deceased daughter.

Liange becomes quite clingy when she becomes close with someone. She'll always seek them out in-forest and be their shadow. If they get annoyed, she'll feel bad and usually avoid them for a while. She's rather sensitive and takes things to heart. A little taunt at her will put her on edge and she'll be wary for some time afterward.

{||.R e l a t i o n s

Arabelle: Liange's older sister. Arabelle is infinitely bolder than Liange, and very conceited. She left the forest a long time ago for the human world, and Liange has not seen her since.

Noemi: Her beloved daughter, fathered by Chrona. Noemi has a tough attitude and can definitely take care of herself, a clear opposite of her mother. Liange is proud of her and relieved she has taken on her father's personality.

Seline: Noemi's deceased twin. This fawn did not last long after being born - she was chased and devoured by the Wolf. Her short life haunts Liange constantly, and always makes an appearance in Liange's nightmares. She was named by Noemi.

Sloane: Daughter born 1.5.14, fathered by Marcus. Liange has a never-ending flow of adoration for the young doe and is determined to keep her safe from all threats while filling her with love even if she is no longer a fawn. Sloane brings nothing but light and happiness to Liange.

Jocelyn: Daughter born 6.20.14, twin to Maica and fathered by Marcus. Liange loves her dearly and is often worried about her safety, but would protect with her life without hesitation.

Maica: Firstborn son born 6.20.14, twin to Jocelyn and fathered by Marcus. Liange wishes she could protect him as much as he has protected her, but offers her support, guidance, and love instead. Proud of the strong stag he has become.

-x-

Chrona: He began as a source of terror for Liange, but then developed into a source of intimate affection. Carrying his fawns had not been her choice, but after they grew close, it was no longer a burden. They were separated for a while and their relationship dissolved, but he did not hesitate to be with her when the fawns were born and defended her against the Wolf when their fawn was killed. Time passed and they formed families of their own, but after Chrona parted from Fay and Liange from Marcus, they found each other again.

Zyren: Chrona's second son and someone Liange is incredibly fond of. Grateful to the wolf for being a playmate to Sloane and guarding her. Always welcomes him, and has a motherly tendency to look out for his well-being too even though there may not be much she could do to protect him. Misses, and always keeps an eye out for him.

Viktor: -description-

Jorogumo: Liange was, at one point, so distraught with too many things plaguing her mind that she nearly ended it all in the Pond. Jorogumo was the one who convinced her to step away from the edge, and even sat on Liange to keep her from going back. Liange harbors a great amount of affection towards her, forever thankful.

Pride: A trustworthy friend of hers. She hasn't seen him in what feels like forever, and she often wonders where he is and hopes he's all right.

Crybaby: The angel's gentleness and genuine goodness made Liange feel comfortable enough to open up to him. It's been a very long time since they last met, but she hopes he's safe and sound.

Marcus: Her ex-mate. She felt safe with him and trusted him completely, ignorant of the things he had planned for her when they first met. His presence was a calming one for her, and she treasured the close bond they built over the years. The distance that grew over time between them combined with Chrona's constant presence led to the splitting of their relationship. Felt bitter at first, but now hopes he will find someone who can truly make him happy.

Aha, so she's the one who

Aha, so she's the one who was with Dag when I had Andras in the forest (for the first time). So that means Liange (how do you pronounce that?) was one of the first two deer that he met. :3
He has the gray pelt and secretary bird antlers. Odd, she didn't seem shy, but maybe it's because she was with Dag.

Aww I'm glad she was one of the first deer he met!! <33 And haha yeah she wasn't quite shy at that time because of Dag. She cowered a couple times at Andras at first, but I think he was too far away to see xDD He was so friendly and funny though and she couldn't help but feel okay around him~!

@Baal: OMFGLOL I was on another deer when I saw Baal's pictogram and I was like, "Ohhh man I've GOT to stalk him!" and went immediately on Liange because she'd be perfect for that xD And muahaha, she stalked him indeed. She died a little inside when he charged her, though. Meanwhile all I could think of was Walter charging at Plague after Plague taunted at the old man xDDD /fail
Anyways. She watched him sleep and stole a nuzzle before running off again.

LMFAO! Just L - O - FREAKING

LMFAO! Just L - O - FREAKING - L! XDD Yeah, it was amusing because I had just left him walking while I did housework, weighting keys FTW, and when I come back he's got a stalker and what I presume was his stalker's stalker? xDDD

Heh, he was getting antsy being followed. He is known for his paranoia. XD She'll have to try a less freak out inspiring method if she wants to hang I spose. Though I will admit some small demented joy in seeing him followed all over the forest. XD And awww! He wouldn't have hurt her bad or anything, just chased her til he got tired...which he did actually. XD Ol' Baalie is gettin' old. XDDD

@Baal: OMGLOL xDDD!! FFF I had no idea you were weighting keys, Liange kept ninja'ing behind trees in case he turned around {which he did, I guess when you came back ROFL and she tried to completely hide herself}. And oh gosh yes I have no idea who that was but I was about to shoot them @.@

Ff I remember his paranoia, and in fact Liange is quite paranoid too LOL. Two paranoids making each other paranoid... there's something wrong in this picture xDDD
Hm, after today and watching him sleep without him waking up she might be a little braver next time and attempt a bow without shaking like a leaf. LKkldhf I'd be overjoyed to see any of my deer followed xD! Baal just brings back wonderful memories to me despite what he did AND I COULDN'T JUST LET HIM WALK IN THE FOREST ALONE!!! &hearts&hearts&hearts
Fff Baal getting old... makes me feel old... ;A;
I found his journal website, by the way. And read them all over again <33333 /nostalgia x infinity
I would track his bio except I want to draw a picture to track his bio with. LOOOL.

lol, yeah, I just wanted him

lol, yeah, I just wanted him to roam while I did. Had nothing better to do at the time. XD And lol! Yeah, came back and was all 'Wtf?' XDDDD And yeah, they seemed to be freaking her out and at one point Baal was pondering jumping them for her for a moment there. XDDD [which would have been hilarious.]

Something about 2 wrongs not making a right eh? Two easily freaked durr make for a fun slow speed forest chase apparently. XDDD

Awww! Poor thing! and Awww! Baal was a bad boy gone not so bad. It's been an unholy long while since he's really had forest interaction. Was fun. May bring him in more often just for ju. XD Hurr...he is getting old. So old. XD Gonna be grey one day....which him being a red deer...wouldn't that make him pink? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! -dies-

Heh, yeah, I didn't want to flood TEF with his little journals. XD Just seemed like it would annoy folks, so I went the simple route. :3 Hee! I'm glad you still think of them in a pleasant light. :3

D'awww! You dun have to make a picture to track the ol boy! I won't rage on you. XD

[-flails- o.o]


Ffff! I shall try m'dear! I just lack the enthusiasm I once had for TEF I guess, but it is nice to know people still want to interact with my red monster. :3 I'll try and get him in more often. ♥!

PINK BAAL LMFAO!!!! How non-stagly D8 xD

Oh, I will always think of them in a pleasant light &hearts I think it's been the most exciting thing ever to happen in this Forest, since I've been here and maybe even since the game was created. I saw when you wrote that every time you came on there would be something new about that plot, and I completely agree. It was just so amazing <333

BUT I WANT TOOOO /whines

*clings* :3

Well, I saw on the website that there's a new chapter with Baal, so maybe we can get all riled up again and it'll lead to a muse explosion for you! 8D YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY~!! -victory dance-

Ffff! But of course! :3 And pfft! Didn't you know, it takes a real stag to wear pink. So there! -pinkBaalfail- XDDDD

Hurr, you know, I wish I could make something else happen that would be even half as epic as those days, I just fear I lack the ability. Shall have to leave it to another I spose. ;.; And awwww! You are too sweet m'dear! ♥!!

Pfft! Well fine! Be that way! XDDDD ♥♥!!

-has a dead-


Heh, I dunno if much is actually going to happen with the new chapter. There were plans, but I have a feeling it just won't be happening sadly. Life gets busy yanno? But! I may be able to save it yet. :3 We shall see. Meeting little madame shy Liange may be one of the things needed to get my rear in gear. XDDD A muse would be so much love right now.

You did it once, you can do it again! All the time since the Baal Plot has been leaving it to everyone to do something as epic as yours, but alas nothing has enchanted the community like the Baal Plot did.

She actually wasn't afraid of his mask. A lot of her close friends wear the skull mask, so she's far used to it C: However, she's afraid of any strangers, and Keller was a stranger. I'm sorry it made him cry! xD Maybe if he spends more time around her, she'll become less afraid of him (;

@ShadowSon: Oh it's all

@ShadowSon: Oh it's all right, Liange was a bit unsettled but she understands now that Sariel meant no harm &hearts

"I-I'm sorry, I'm not quite comfortable about strangers, and your chasing after us only made it worse for me... and I do prefer to be alone when with Mr. Stag. My apologies... I'm not quite in the condition to be playing at the moment, either. You may catch me at a better time in the future~" The doe smiles and listens to Chrona's words, but her smile evaporates and she looks quickly to the ground. She didn't mean to be rude... she would have usually been all right with a little company... but in her condition, her being... it kept her from being 'polite'. She didn't mean to. She thought Chrona understood that. She gave the stag a sideways glance before returning her gaze briefly to Sariel and quickly back to her hooves.

"Ohhh you were scared? Sariel

"Ohhh you were scared? Sariel isnt scary!" he giggles pleased as his tail flicks "I thought we were running together, the way Mr. Stag was bounding around like that! I was having fun. We play again soon 'kay?"

Tears rolled down arapaho's face. He couldn't stand the thought of him hanging out with....that monster. His back fur stood straight up, his face tense and lost in thought. CHrona, his name was. HE looked to the ground sadley, thinking about her..and him..... He was so mad he dug into the ground, tearing at the grass. He had only realized moments later how far he had dug into the ground.

Apparanza's picture

No, not cute at all actually.

No, not cute at all actually. She was raped by Chrona, so she's forced to have this fawn whether she wants to or not. However, they've strangely developed a close bond {made possible due to the fact that Liange is often mesmerized by the thigngs she fears} so she doesn't really mind the coming fawn anymore. She'd much prefer not being a mother, because her adopted daughter Memoir has been missing and is considered dead. So Liange thinks she failed at being a good mother. Who knows how this will turn out, LOL &hearts

"Liange? What in the hell

"Liange? What in the hell were you just about to do? Was it what I think it was?!" Spat the large doe, yanking the other to the ground to sit beside her. She draped a leg over to hold her.

For a moment, she looked at the pond, shaking her head furiously. "Why in the world would you do such an awful thing to yourself?"

Apparanza's picture

Liange flinched at the harsh

Liange flinched at the harsh tone from Jorogumo, and against her will was pinned to the ground. She knew better than to struggle. It would get her no where.
Her ears were pinned, cerulean eyes trying to focus, tears brimming her eyes. She wouldn't let them fall.

"I-I... Joro, I wanted to see if it would hurt more if I drowned," Liange whispered in a tone barely audible, her eyes slowly focusing. She was trembling, the lacerations across her body having only stopped bleeding. Her stomach now showed clear evidence of a growing fawn.

Her ears drooped at Joro's next question, and her gaze dropped.
"Because he doesn't care about me anymore. She's going to bask in her glory every chance she gets. I don't want to give birth to an entire fawn. Especially one whose family is nonexistent. I don't think Chrona cares about what happens to it.
I'm a horrible mother, Joro. I... I just am a complete failure when it comes to such tasks.
I fought her today, because I was sick of running and being scared all the time...
I-I don't know if the f-fawn is still alive. I... I considered killing it, but Marcus told me I'd regret it... I think I will... but I don't know what to do if it's alive when it's born.
Marcus has an odd look in his eye. I'm not sure what he's thinking about. It gave me a bad feeling Joro, and I don't need any more bad things...
If I die, I won't be missed. It will be like a weight lifted off the Forest. I'm nothing but a waste of space, Joro. I make others worry. I spur on the evil because they like that I'm afraid - and I can't help it. I attract negativity. I am a curse, Joro. Nothing but a curse to everyone and everything.
If I die everything will go away.

I want it to go away, Jorogumo."


Liange's cerulean eyes stared up at the spider-doe. They were filled with utmost melancholy, helplessness, a look of hopefulness but also a haunting awareness that her hope is useless. She looked like she was damned to hell and she was falling in right now.

She listened to her friend's

She listened to her friend's words, her eyes never looking away or blinking. She could only stare. "Baka. You've no idea what you're talking about. There are plenty that care. I care.
You're weak if you let all of this get to you. Pain is hard to endure, and it takes time to fade, but killing yourself over it is out of the question.
I wont let you do it,
" She huffed, shaking her head furiously again and pressing her head into the other's fur. She did care, very much, for the timid doe.

"You don't have to go away...I can help you.

I will help you.

Think...of the little one. You die, you're taking away the opportunity for that fawn to have a chance to meet this world. To live,"
Jorogumo added, her voice but a whisper.
She'd tie Liange down if she had to. To keep her from ending her own life, and the unborn fawn's for that matter.


Apparanza's picture

Liange flinched again at

Liange flinched again at Jorogumo's harsh words, at being called weak, but everything the spider-doe said was true and Liange couldn't deny it. A soft sigh escaped her lips.
"I-I... th-thank you Joro," she whispered. She didn't know what else to say.
Feeling the gentle pressure into her fur caused the golden-pelted doe to relax some, and for her to think a little clearer.

Liange's sad gaze flickered up to Joro's. "But... how can you help me, Joro? What can you possibly do..."

She refused to let those tears fall. It was difficult, but she was determined to succeed.

Liange's gaze fell and her ears drooped when her unborn fawn was mentioned. Her head shook slowly and she suppressed a sob.
"But that's just it, Joro. If I die, I'm saving it from a horrible world. I don't want it to grow up fatherless, or with a father who leaves a bad example, with a mother who will lose it or run away from danger entirely forgetting it or snapping one day and killing it.
If I live... and it's not already dead from the fight today... I don't know what I'll do, Joro."
