Roe

Thank you Spyrre, for the edit!

Name: Roe
Picto: Unbalanced Scale
Species: Mule Deer
Sex: Doe, hind
Age: Young Adult
Size: 12 here
Appearance: Default pelt, noh (doe) antlers, real deer mask, mini spell. Roe is a smallish mule deer with large ears. She has a light greyish-brown coat and soft grey eyes.
*Friendly *Caring *Open *Honest
*Playfull *Free-spirited *Stubborn *Loving
Roe is an open and caring deer, friendly to most everyone. She is wary of stags at first, until she knows them. Protective of fawns, she enjoys herding them. Roe is quite playful and silly at times and enjoys short runs. She may come across as shy and reserved, but warms up quickly. Roe relies heavily on her instincts.

Thank you so much, Xemi!

Roe is a healer . . .
Roe is a healer by nature and will help other deer in need - even if she doesn't like them. Roe uses herbs, roots, molds, etc in her healing. She knows quite a bit of medicine and stitches wounds closed using sinew, fur, thin strands of vine - whatever she finds that will work.
Roe was chased from her herd when she was a fawn and ended up in the Endless Forest. The dominant male of the herd led the chase, comanding other members of the herd to join in. He was jealous/threatened by Roe's healing capabilities, as even at a young age, they were great. Roe started out very timid and fearful of stags. With the help of Ishibaba and Liam, she started coming out of her shell and building confidence.
Before his death, Roe's father taught her how to fight. She hated fighting and swore she never would, however, things changed when another pack of rock hounds entered the forest. She helped Quad, Phion and numerous other deer fight off the rock hounds, killing a few herself. Her confidence soared with her newfound strength and she discovered that not all stags are bad.

Diary, thoughts . . .
12/24:
Laid little Bawewin to rest. My sweet fawn. May you rest in peace.
12/20:
My little Bawewin. I'm so sorry.
11/21:
Wandered around in the fog today. By the ruins I found a strange egg. Never seen anything like it! Since it was chilly out, I curled around the egg, tried to keep it warm until it's mother returned. She never did. Perhaps I'll check on it tomorrow . . .
11/13:
Today the lightbringers gathered by the great oak. I joined them in dance for awhile before resting. As the march started, I was delighted to see Iphea! We marched with the group until we came to the pond. I was glad he wanted to sit, just the two of us. It was wonderful relaxing under the willow . . . and to discuss the name of our fawn!
11/7:
Played all morning with an adorable fawn! We ran and jumped and chased and danced. That little one wore me out! Rested under a willow tree by the pond and fell asleep there.
11/6:
Ahhhhh, Iphea! I've missed you so!!! Sitting with you is divine . . . . (sorry I had to leave so suddenly)
11/2:
Ran and danced this morning. Fell asleep by the God statues and slept through the abiogenesis. Silly me! Relaxed near Honeyfur. A nice doe she is. And her fawns are due soon!
10/31:
All Hallows Eve . . . The fog in the forest is a nice change. Sat in the ruins for quite some time, reflecting on my former life. I wonder what my herd is up to. And Iphea . . .havn't seen him lately. I miss him so.
Then Velocity showed up and everyone went crazy for him. I danced with the masses until I was too tired to move. Fell asleep behind the twin Gods and slept for quite awhile.
10/26:
Feeling better. The raspberry leaves are working wonders for my stomach. What will our little one look like . . . .?
10/24:
Iphea and I are expecting! We're so very excited. Mmmmmm, my love . . .
10/23:
1300 mountain time. Sitting with my love. A peacefull gathering in the flowers by the oak. It's so lovely. If there weren't so many around I could tell him . . .
Meandered around and found a line of skull deer dancing with a giant crow. Watched them while I drank from the pond. They were quite entertaining!
10/22:
Ahhhh, Iphea. You're so silly! Worried about how you look and if I won't accept you if you change. I love you, you silly oaf!
BZD visited the forest again today. Everyone goes so crazy when he comes. Danced a little with the masses, but not for long. So tired. And feeling under the weather. Like I ate bad berries. Layed down a ways away and watched everyone. Tried to calm my stomach.
10/21:
The giant mushrooms are out again! Collected bits of the caps to replenish my supply. The caps are excellent for poultices. Fell asleep under a mushroom before going to the pond for a drink. Watched some fawns play and headed to the great oak to relax. Fell asleep there. Why am I so tired? Did healing Iphea really take that much out of me?
10/19:
Used my magic today to fully heal Iphea. Only the 3rd time I've ever used magic . . .it's exhausting. Iphea was so understanding. And not scared of me after. I actually feel I may be able to put it to good use. If I can heal with light . . .can I protect with it?
10/17:
Met the BZD today! Much needed relief from the stress! I even tried on a skull mask and danced with the others! I needed that. Thank you BZD.
Iphea is recovering, thank the Gods. He's so pained. I hate to see him like this. My poor stag.
10/16:
Found Iphea badly injured in the birch. He was gored by a Child of Man. Tended to his wounds - had to stitch his flank closed (sorry, love, I know that hurt!). That abomination better hope I never meet her . . . because I will kill her where she stands.
10/11:
Wow. Iphea . . .wow. Hmmmmmm, would love more of that.
9/15:
Wild Thing is getting much better! I'm so relieved - he had me worried.
9/13:
Met Wild Thing. He's wracked with infection. I hope I can help him.

Thank you Anjali!

Hmhmhm my Roe... I hope you

Hmhmhm my Roe... I hope you did not mind me taking you away from all of the other deer. Iphea smiled, leading his mate over to a willow to relax. I had hoped... we could talk. He pressed his face in to her belly to nuzzle the slowly-stretching skin. Soon they would have to find a thicket... a safe place for their fawn's birth. He had gone on such a journey to find one, but had returned empty of ideas. He knew of only one place, but it was so open. He was worried about the snow getting to her.

"Not at all," Roe smiled at

"Not at all," Roe smiled at her mate, her love. "Hmmmmmm, I much prefer your company . . ." She nibbled behind Iphea's ears as he nuzzled her tummy. "What did you want to talk about?" she asked him.

His ears tingled with the imprint of her nibbling. He much liked that. We... have to start thinking about our fawn... where you will birth... names... things like that. I am doting, I know, but I feel like... hmhm the stag chuckled, sneaking a peck on her cheek before continuing. I feel like a fool for falling tine-over-hoof for a fawn I have not met yet. His smile spread across his face.

The doe giggled. "Hnnnn . . .I like it when you dote." She leaned into him, enjoying his warmth and softness. "Names . . .well, I think we need to focus on a girl's name." She pulled her head back and looked in her mate's eyes, smiling wide. Roe didn't know for sure, but her instincts told her their fawn would be female. "And it's only natural for you to fall for your fawn . . .just wait 'till she's born! She'll have you wrapped around her hoof in no time!" She nudged him playfully, wondering what their daughter would look like. She looked towards her growing tummy. "I've started to feel her moving. And soon, you'll be able to feel her kicks too." Roe nuzzled Iphea, feeling content and full of love for her mate.

A daughter? The stag's tail

A daughter? The stag's tail let out an involuntary twitch. He would be a dad to a little doe. The stag rested his chin on his mate's belly, feeling a little movement. He could not tell if it were her butterflies or his daughter that he felt. It was exciting. Doe names.... He mulled, the humming in his throat vibrating against her stomach. Coraline? Cora for short.... or.... He smiled. Bawewin... but that will be only what I call her. He smiled before continuing aloud. Mh... I am no good at naming outside of the language of Ojibwe.... and that sounds weird for names in this place. He peered off in to the distance, watching a fawn play alone. Their child would never be alone.

(apparently in my last reply I forgot to with my colors and it won't let me edit!!! Grrrr!)

"Coraline . . ." Roe mused. "What are the names in Ojibwe?" she wondered. The doe was curious. "I'm not very good at names myself." She smiled and shook her head before leaning it against her mate. It was so peacefull by the willow, just the two of them resting in the soft shade. "Whatever her name, it will be beautiful."

They are mouthfulls, Roe.

They are mouthfulls, Roe. Simply mouthfulls. I know of a few.... Shanyah.... Mitena.... Onaiwah.... Omemee... but I am not a we-eh.... I would be afraid that I would curse the fawn when I name her... Have not had those dreams yet. He peered at his mate from the corner of his eye. They would have a beautiful daughter together. She would.... Iphea wondered to himself what face she might have. Genetically, they both had deer-faces, but the magic of the forest worked in mysterious ways..

Anyways, belated congratulations to her and Iphea! The Forest always needs more adorable fawnies.

Roe did meet Anjali briefly.

Roe did meet Anjali briefly. I recognized his picto from his bio! I'm going to add him as an acquaintance! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

FaunGrae:
"We-eh . . .what's that?" Roe asked Iphea. She was watching him as he spoke, listening to the strange names. "Mitena . . .it sounds very beautiful. Do you know what it means?" She smiled up at him and nuzzled at his chin. Roe tried to hide her excitement. Thinking of names made the pregnancy even more real for her. They were going to be parents! The doe's smile broadened to a grin as the thought entered her mind.

—

November 14, 2011 - 3:01am — FaunGrae

The stag smiled. Mitena... it

The stag smiled. Mitena... it means "born under a new moon." 's very specific... hmhm. He smiled, running his tongue from just above her left eye to the base of her right ear in a fell swoop. We-eh... it is someone who helps a name-giver give a name to a fawn.

Iphea was worried. We need to find someplace safe for you to have her.... for you both to live until she's ready to see the world.

"Hmmm, I suppose we do need

"Hmmm, I suppose we do need to find a birthing spot." Roe furrowed her brow a moment, picking up on Iphea's worry. The forest was a mostly peacefull place and she didn't think they'd have a hard time finding a spot. She smiled at her mate and licked his cheek. "No need to worry about it. We have time still. What about the old oak? It is one of my favorite spots . . ." The doe layed her head against the stag. "I wonder what she'll look like . . ."

November 15, 2011 - 3:11am — FaunGrae

The Oak would be nice, though

The Oak would be nice, though I am scared for the fact that there are so many other deer... but it is just me being protective, I guess. He sighed, ears flopping dramatically. But I think she will be a gorgeous baby... I think she will look like you. Are you scared she will get taller than you? He grinned, nibbling her side.

Roe snickered. "We can only hope she's taller than me!" She nipped at him playfully. Roe was small, even by mule deer standards, but her size suited her just fine. Mmmmmm, I hope she has your eyes. And your features. Though if she's as good looking as you, you'll be fighting off stags left and right!" The doe smiled, nuzzling her mate. Nothing could have made her happier.

The stag laughed, shaking his head. My eyes are creepy! And I sure hope she doesn't look like me! What a manly doe that would be. She should be as gorgeous as you, Roe. His dancing grin parted to let forth a sigh. I will teach her to be light on her feet and quick with her tongue, and I will hardly have to defend her. I will if need arise, but she won't be coddled... I won't hear of that. It was matter-of-fact.

"Your eyes are lovely," Roe

"Your eyes are lovely," Roe replied, nuzzling him. The doe's breath hitched and her brow furrowed. She shifted uncomfortably. "Hoooo, that was a strong kick. I think she knows we're talking about her!" Roe leaned into Iphea, smiling and sighing. "The forest magic seems to have sped up the pregnancy. Where I came from, I wouldn't be due untill the spring . . .many months from now. But the strength of her kicks . . . and the growing size of my belly . . .I think it will only be weeks. We shall see, I guess." She looked up at her mate, her soft smile spreading.

Hnnnnn No hurting your

Hnnnnn No hurting your mother, little Bawewin... The stag whispered in to Roe's belly, nuzzling. His ears pricked immediately, and he nuzzled again. Iphea swore he could actually feel his daughter in there. Weeks? She will be born in the snow... I will have to really help you look for someplace to live... He let his tail thud on the ground, ears twitching as he peered over the pond.

"Bawewin?" Roe smiled. "What does that mean? It's beautiful." She followed Iphea's gaze over the pond, resting her head on his shoulder. Hnnnn, the snow. All the more reason for the old oak. It's sheltered in the hollow . . ." The doe snuggled closer to her mate, sighing happily.

'means "dream." He smiled

'means "dream." He smiled warmly, watching the gray pond ripple. That snow... it could hurt both you and the baby. No deer I know who has given birth in the snow survived, mother nor child. They were either picked off by predators or froze. The cold expression those words stirred in him seemed to freeze him to the bone and touch.

You need a nest and candles. Anything to keep you warm.

"Mmmmmm, that could be her name . . ." Roe mused. She looked up at her mate as he spoke, shaking her head lightly. "Remember Iphea, there are no predators here. Not like where we're from." She nuzzled him. "I havn't heard of there being snow here . . . rain, fog . . .but not snow." The doe smiled, snickering to herself. "And you know, I've started gathering grasses in the old oak, making a little nest. And if it does snow, the hollow will block the wind and help keep us warm." Roe snuggled closer to Iphea.

The stag shook his head, barely perceptible. Predators don't always have sharpened teeth and claws. He let his ears rotate to catch nearby sounds before speaking again. Hnhn and she's always thinking ahead. The stag nuzzled his mate in return.
