Core personality. He is young and shy, but playful. He holds most of the memories of his childhood, though fragments are missing. He is awkward and still new to the ways of the forest, which he feels he wasn't born in, but learning. Some deer intimidate him, friendly or not, and he has a habit of walking or running around, out of their line of sight, debating whether to actually come forward and introduce himself. He may even do this with old friends in his unease, coming close, stopping, then running off again. It is best to approach him first, as he may not come to you. He has a sweet disposition and is friendly unless provoked otherwise, he is simply very introverted.





A small fawn, possibly a baby, 'bairn' meaning baby in the language of the humans who saved Sionnach as a young one. He remembers the earliest memories. He holds the loneliness and the fear, and the desire for guidance and acceptance from elder deer. This spirit acts as a young, abandoned fawn would- sometimes playful, always with a hopeful look, but sad, often afraid, and seeking shelter and love from others, having none himself. He will follow older deer around, hoping to befriend them and stay by their side, and frequently nuzzle or stand/sit extremely close. This spirit often forgets the manners of the forest and may run up to you without bowing, or rear and make sparring movements in play without signaling its just play, and is known to ignore personal space.





The buck is in the transition from childhood to adulthood. He has few actual memories, and thus is not affected by the events in Sionnach's life. He has the most individual personality. The buck is extremely energetic and playful. He is almost always running, and will often signal he wants others to join him by running circles around them rather than stopping. He has the manners Bairn does not and will bow and go through the motions, but only as long as necessary before the games begin again. He gets along best with fawns, and loves to rough-house and play-fight. He is very dramatic and theatrical, but in good spirits, to enhance play. Sometimes his joking and mocking of other deer to get them to play with him is taken the wrong way, but he finds ways to apologize if you let him know. He exudes charm and happiness.





Howl doesn't believe it is a deer at all. It doesn't know what it is. Howl is a trickster who mimics everything. It seems to be almost out of its control. When Howl is out, it will mimic everything a deer near it does. It will run away if a deer runs away, stop when it stops, and make its exact movements. It laughs constantly while it cries at the same time. It walks and runs at once, swivelling and zig-zagging as it goes, and runs into the water frequently, choosing to lose its pelt and antlers and sit in the water rather than stay on the land. Howl likes to confuse others and change its appearance often, and likes to roar. It appears to be insane.





The old stag is a dark spirit. He harbors memories of abandonment, and upon arrival in the forest, the feelings of jealousy seeing families together, the confusion of being run away from and ignored by many he tried to befriend as a fawn... anger for what he didn't have that others did, for being misunderstood, for being chased away and even fought when he once thought the world was a good, accepting place. He is rageful at his fate and his short luck while others have everything he desperately wanted, and at his exclusion, imagined or not, among the forests' residents. He is exaggerative and arrogant, and many of the slights against him may only be perceived, but he feels the pain of it as if they were real and intentional. He only walks, and sits frequently. He is quick to anger, and may lower his antlers in warning at a simple friendly gesture. He will fight deer he percieves as a threat to him. He will not bow first. He is suspicious of the intentions of deer around him, and may ignore you or run you off until he decides you are trustworthy. He is tolerant of fawns and will never harm them, but he will not play or be friendly either. If a fawn is lost or alone, he may stand near them or try to direct them to a group of deer. They are his only soft spot.












Sorry about the lack of artsyness and whatnot. I'm bloody awful at css, but figured I'd do what I could. This can also serve as an interactive blog, in the event anyone would like to rp with Sionnach or request that a certain spirit come out in the forest.
