Hello everyone! I began thinking about the way my character interacts in game and while I was updating this on her relations page, I began to realize it was getting quite long... so I guess it needs its own page!

Every player has a language for how their character reacts to another, with some similarities that can be understood. I really love how people create action combinations to socialize. ^v ^ Does anyone have any that they use too, or any specific to them?
Also, if you would like to use these then please go ahead!


SOCIAL MANNERISMS:

- Walk in place, spinning = Prancing
- Rear + nod = Playful invitation or acceptance
- Tap ground + Head Tilt = Sit with me? May I lay?
- Tap ground, looking in the distance = I see/hear something strange. Going to investigate.
- Tap ground, facing you = Follow me!
- Head lower + head tilt = Apologetic, apologizing
- Sniffing = Curious
- Sniffing + Head tilt = checking for wounds
- Side Nuzzle = Friendly greeting of a familiar
- Head shake while you approach = Now is not a good time
- Head shake + stomp = Holding ground. Stubborn.
- Rear + Stomp + Lower antlers + walk = Back away. Warning.
- Shake + Lower Antlers + run = has her horn out, charging you.
- Cower = Terrified. Fear (what did you do to scare her? D< )
- Cower + Head Tilt = Are you scared? What are you scared of?
- Tap ground + Nod = Approach, it is alright to come closer/ Join me!
- Head lower = Nudging gently. Wants you to move.
- Spinning in place, on you= Playfully Circling! ((Or in Dorian's case, Dancing with him))
- Nod + Shake head, over your back = Grooming! Putting flowers on you! (Learned from Launa!)
- Lower head + Step Forward + Lower head = Knocking you over gently. Probably going to sit on you. <3 Or cuddle. She loves cuddling. Cuddles for days!
