Mini | Magpie Mask | Magpie Pelt | Antelope Horns

Maesio is a little over 2 feet tall and she's short and fat with thick strong legs. Her colouration is like the gold-billed magpie, not like the dark magpie in the game. The forest magic here is foreign, different from the forest magic of her origin and when it casts on her she unknowingly resembles the fauna of home.


Flirtatious | Lustful | Violent | Manipulative | Spiteful | Disloyal | Suspicious | Fiercely Independent | Has No Concept of Personal Space

Cuddly | Kind | Helpful | Polite | Playful | Protective | Unselfish, not jealous, sharing

Maesio doesn't understand everything that the other deer are saying, here the words and actions are foreign to her. She's never stuck around long enough to gain fluency. She tends to copy other deer, especially stags she likes. Sometimes she will use the wrong gesture or react in the wrong way to others.

Around other does, when the setting is peaceful, Maesio tends to be placid or playful. She doesn't want an adoptive mother, more that she wants maternal figures around her. It's not an attempt to replace her unknown family but just to fill a void.

Maesio is very polyamorous. She has a liking for many stags and feels most comfortable in a setting of a traditional deer harem with one stag and multiple does. She doesn't quite understand the serial monogamy of many deer of the forest, but she respects it and doesn't wish to steal anyone's mate. It's a very distant and probably unlikely possibility she would settle down with just one stag- but he would have to be very controlling to reign her in.

She is tiny spitfire and Maesio is ready to put her hooves and antlers into almost anything that upsets or excites her. She takes great pleasure in fighting and will practice sparring with trees. While she will not attack unprovoked, but she can be easily provoked; intentionally pelting her immediately gets you onto her Must End This Deer list.

Drama and watching other deer fight makes Maesio very happy and she looks for any reason to join in. If she can't join in, she'll stand on the sidelines as long as she can and rear and taunt to cheer on the fighters. She'll become intensely protective around smaller and weaker deer when a fight is going on or if a suspicious and predatory character is about, even if she dislikes or barely knows those small weak deer, just to have a reason to fight. Should the fighting deer come too close to her or the group she's with, she'll rush off to fight under the guise of /just/ trying to drive them away. She'll also attempt to make friends with and care for deer that have been involved in a fight, even if she fought them, as a sort of thanks for amusing her.

She's not very fond of fawns, their appearance bothers her and she wishes they looked- well, she's not really sure, but she's pretty sure they aren't supposed to look like that. If she must or if there's one that catches her fancy, she will tolerate them. When she's in a playful mood and other deer are not, she may even seek out fawns for play. However, she's not above terrorizing a fawn that's bothering her. A fawn repeatedly pelting her will be chased, reared at, and have antlers lowered at it until she feels it's sufficiently penitent enough.

She is unsure of her past and desperate about her future.

The thing Maesio wants most is to leave the forest and go back to a home she barely remembers. She can recall very little solid memories of that place but she remembers one thing about it, there was love. How she got from there to here is a mystery to her and she bears no traumatic mental scars from her displacement.

Maesio first appeared in the forest in September of 2009 with a small group of other wayward fawns. In fact, Maesio's name was given to her by another fawn. Maesio could not recall her name and called herself Jamaesi. One of the other fawns had trouble pronouncing her name and called her Maeso. The name Maesio stuck.

As to the other fawns, some stayed, some left. Most notably, one of the other fawns was Ourania.

Staying long enough to explore the forest and find it not to her liking, Maesio waited until she had gained more strength and endurance and then left the forest in search of her home. She made sporadic re-entries into the forest over the years to rest, heal, gather strength, set off again...

Recently, a very chagrined and exhausted Maesio came back to the forest and called for Ourania. Since then, she has remained. To keep her mind off what she wants most she throws herself at any buck with a big enough rack. She's not looking for a mate, she just wants a good time. She wants to forget until she has a solid path to her home.

(WIP: I know I'm forgetting some deer, sorry. Remind me somehow if you think you should be on here. :C)

Your deer may or may not feel the same way about Maesio. Especially for stags, she may have met the stag once (and annoyed the hell out of him) and formed an obsession for him. Her reason for liking certain deer are varied. At some point I may go into further detail. A few of the deer here she has a deep bond with, even though that upsets her. She doesn't want to have anything here holding her back even if she might never get to go back home.

How.. am I back here? Who are these deer? What am I doing.

God, Twin Gods... You give me my beauty and now you took it away. Why did you leave my face uncovered? Is it because I kept rejecting the peacock mask you bestowed upon me when I prayed for my plumage and horns? Oura gave me this golden billed feather mask, I wanted it, I want it, I want it, I want, want, want, want...

You're not even my Gods! Or God? I don't know! Are you now my Gods? No! I think you're lovely but I'm not staying here! I appreciate that you grant us small deer our coverings and I will bow to you for those but.. Oh!

Are you punishing me? I have committed many wrongs but most were not here, you have no jurisdiction over them. None! I am unrepentant!

Fine! I'm leaving you and you can't follow. You're just rock now, immobile. I'll find Oura... or Reed. That's you that I have just stumbled upon, isn't it, my dear?

Yes.

Reed.

Reed is what I want now. Yes, nuzzle me, I'll nuzzle you back, stand over me. I don't want protection, but I do want you. I'll follow you through the forest to the playground and rest my small body against yours and forget this injustice.

...

And my warm red one left me, but after so much time together, how can I complain? I wake from my dreamless sleep and listen... there's Oura and a new deer. I go to play and there's Makime! We hop, hop hop! Hop all the way over there. We dress the new deer and then Makime leaves... Very sad, not long enough with him.

The Gods taketh away, but Oura giveth back. My face has been returned to its feathered glory, my alien features partially hidden again. Then it's dance party with Oura, new deer, and a fawn until I...

Yes, I sleep.
