Credits A big thank-you goes out to the creator of the Endless Forest Directory (jala) and a few of its contributors, for the helpful blogs which gave me the insight on how to alter this page: Unplugged, Nirvana, Apeldille (for Deer Size Comparison Chart), tale-of-tales.com (for symbol page), and outside sources: december.com (for hex colours), and freeweb.com for number codes. I do not own the music (C418 -The Weirdest Year of Your Life; Bonobo - Recurring), nor the piece of code for the music player (introduced to me by Ilovewolves3). Music changes with my interests, not the interests of others. Screenshot by me. Both forms of interaction are warmly welcomed. I do not own anything here with the exception of the character idea. Elzire can be slow to react at times. Please note that if Elzire moos, it is by mistake that the button for such was clicked.

About

• Born a mute; cannot speak. Relies solely on body language to communicate thoughts / feelings
• Raised a Christian. Believes in the concept of souls.
• Her only possession is a small Bible, which she cherishes
• Seeks guidance from an unseen force
• Loves all, including enemies
• Is moved by the beauty of nature, finds happiness and contentment in simple things
• Her antler stubs can be rubbed off with applied force, then start to grow back slowly. They never grow past a certain length.
• Is pure in heart, equitable, and thinks things should not be judged by their appearance
• Hears music in everything. To her, everything makes its own music to its own beat.
• 100% human in [mind] and, if left to herself, will almost always become lost in her thoughts..
• Often has dreams, but sleeps very little.
• Thoroughly enjoys sunny days.
• Amateurish with forest magic. Has never fully learned how to control it.
• Has yet to discover the purpose of her life




Behavior



• Demonstrates adept body language skills and has a way of speaking to you with her eyes
• Searches for any familiar beings upon waking up. Most of the time resorts to settling in a cozy place alone if no friends are found.
• Would sit with unnamed and named deer alike. Seeks out lone deer to keep them company. Does not care how these things affect her reputation.
• Registers rearing, antler leveling, and pawing of ground as a threat except when with well-known deer
• Flee rather than fight if threatened. If threatened for long enough, will fight back with a supernatural strength.
• Drawn to strange appearances, behaviors, noises and crowds, but tends to observe from a distance
• Can become easily startled or amazed
• Is naturally more introverted than a typical intelligent forest being; however, is fairly responsive to strangers and more open around well-known significant others
• Will not hesitate to put herself between an aggressor and her friend
• Roams the expanse of birch forest, periodically rubbing the base of selected trees with her neck and face so as to leave her scent there, similar to the behavior of canines and certain deer. It seems to be an instinctual and subconscious thing for her case; she does not see the purpose of this, but enjoys doing so.
• Prefers thin, birch trees with vine growth at the base or patches of plant growth to rest in.
• Ignores the concept of territory in the forest among other deer. She would never intentionally wish to cause disputes or enemies.
• Would now calmly sit through and shrug off aggressive verbal or physical threats or portrayals by one who does not like her. Elzire has become aware of their pointless efforts of mindless provocation and reaction-craving methods of bullying others.
• Has her fair share of bad days, but never stays gloomy or cross for long since she realizes the good things in life outweigh the sour things.
• If she becomes angry, she won't vent onto an innocent creature or a guilty one, but will ask her God to take her anger away.
• Has a good conscience; would much rather do what is right because she sees it pointless to do what is wrong.
• Nuzzles to show she likes/loves someone
• Terrified of the Raven bird for good reasons. Has had bad experiences around these particular birds and considers them to be a bad sign and of evil origin. Even similar-looking birds will make her uneasy. Cowers when the call is heard and avoids them for fear of being cursed. If one approaches her or comes near, she will back away and stay a distance until the bird is gone.




Ties



Puppy Has fun meeting this sweet girl. Elzire likes her small, sweet presence. She seems to like to romp, and Elzire finds it peaceful to sit with her. Rarely sees.

Noodle Humble little fawn. Took an immediate liking to. Good company. Wants to see more.

Spartak Quite curious and charming stag. Can detect an evil presence on him, but wants to know him better and become friends in hopes of one day casting out the evil in an effort to end his suffering. Finds him a charming, comical stag. Rarely sees him anymore.

Oaxis This blind stag has caught the interest of Elzire, and they have met a few times before. He seems to be in Anker's wake every time they meet. She has become fond of him and enjoys his company. Hardly sees anymore.

Anker Has grown very fond of, loves a good friend. He makes her feel happy and careless when she's around him. Loves his company and just sitting beside him uplifts her spirit. Keeps a sharp eye for. Misses his presence much.

Rudy First time meeting this timid little fawn, Elzire could tell he was living by himself. She wishes his future will be a good one, so although not naturally maternalistic, has taken to caring for him. Does not see often, unfortunately.

How do you describe both the beginning and the end? We should have known better, but we didn't. What does it matter what we think we know? In the end, there's no denying the truth. - Left Behind --[Art by Aquilo]

I really like this... the

I really like this... the first song (tear-erecting), the screenshot of Birch forest (well-captured), and pretty much the entire layout is unique, like a hand-crafted good.
Your deer, Elzire - she is mute? I have friend who is the same way. Without him, I would have never been interested enough to learn ASL.
And I like her pictogram! An absolute track here =)

Ohh! Thank you very much =) I

Ohh! Thank you very much =) I appreciate this; it took me a long time just to know what I was doing with the css hah =D and I'm glad someone likes it.
Yes - she cannot speak. I got the inspiration from a hair-raising dream I once had... I wondered what it would be like to have a conversation with a person in ASL. Fun? Frustrating? Guess I'll have to find out sometime
As for the symbol, or 'pictogram', it looked the most like rain to me or some kind of gooey, dripping sap. Laughing out loud

Thank you so much! Smiling I would like rp. I write short stories as a pastime thing, so that might help with sentence structure

edit - I guess I;ll begin the role play in a new comment...
Also I am inexperienced in this type of thing, so forgive me if I unintentionally create an awkward situation ;-;

The light wind blew in

The light wind blew in occasional, curled gusts down the length of a small, raised hill overlooking a vast forested landscape in all directions. From between stalks of tall, stalk-like tufted grass blades peered the deep orange eyes of a [deer-like] being from which warm afternoon glints of the sun were reflecting off of. The chirp of native birds was a rather relaxing ambiance, synthesizing with the slight rippling of a thin stream nearby and an overly-sweet fragrance of blooming trees which, at times, filled one's entire lungs.
