Lichter sehn here, utter newbie. But I have a thing for character invention.
I'm probably only going to have one chaaracter here; just one strong, active one. So here's what I've got so far:
Name: ?
Meaning of Name: ?
Sex: Female
Species: fallow or roe deer
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Current Relationship Status: Single
Favorite Forest Spot: The Blue Bowl
She is still a fawn, will be a fawn forever unless I decide to mature her. She is an orphan, doesn't have parents and has never met her parents. I think I might be seeing a grandfather in there, though...
She is small, with a slight build- willowy. Her fur will be natural, no strange colours or markings; what natural colour, I'm not sure yet. She may be just ordinary deer colour, creamy, piebald, or leucistic. Markings will be pretty, but simple.
As for acessories, she will wear only flowers- I'm thinking bluebells. She'll appear as often with them as without. For now, I think they will be a flower crown, or perhaps a bunch behind her ear.
Because she's small and slight, she's not strong, but she's quick, agile, and good at hiding.
She's not judgemental, and gets on well with everyone; she has no rivals.
She is relatively bright for a child of her age, but no protegy. Goals? Hmmm.... I guess only her motto, "See Lights". She likes to bring other deer light, so to speak, whether through beauty, or fun, or kindness. She is very self-confident, as a child is self-confident, and can sometimes be rash.
How self-confident is the character? Very, in that childish way.
How do they see him/herself?
How do they believe s/he is perceived by others?
What is the character most proud of?
What does the character like least about themselves?
How do they express themselves?
Is this character generally dominant or submissive?
Patience level (0/10):
Does the character seem ruled by emotion or logic or some combination thereof?

Describe their comforts:
Describe their sense of humor:
If granted one wish, what would it be and why?
Describe their social strengths:
Describe their social flaws:
Describe their biggest mental vulnerability:
Optimist or Pessimist:
Introvert or extrovert:
Greatest Fear:
Other Fears/Insecurities/Phobias:
Emotional/psychological/social peculiarities:
Biggest regret:
Other regrets:
Biggest accomplishment(s):
Minor accomplishments:
Character's darkest/deepest secret:
Minor Secrets:
Talents:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Favorite Color(s):
How is s/he perceived by...
Strangers?
Friends?
What happens to change this perception if at all?
Describe their sense of trust
What type of individuals does s/he like or associate with?
What type of individuals does s/he avoid? Scary ones
How do they treat members of the opposite sex?
How do they treat members of the same sex?
What do family/friends like most about character?
What do family/friends like least about character?
Do they know anyone who's died, and if so who and how were they affected?
No real family; as far as I can tell, she's an orphan of some sort. She never knew her parents; she takes care of herself(and gets by well), or at the most seeks prosperity in numbers with other fawns.
Religion? Good question. See Lights. There. That's what she believes in.
Feel free to throw things at me- advice, critique, encouragement, tomatoes. For now, I'll be running around the forest while I think, and perhaps something worldshaking will happen.
Hello, it's nice to meet you
I think you have a very good start to a character! If you are still trying to think out details for her personality and her story there is a helpful set of questions in this thread that might inspire you. You also shouldn't worry too much about committing to any one thing, since all good characters change naturally over time just like real people.
Oh wow, Alison! I am so
I am so flattered that I was able to create a blog worth linking to!
It means so much to me that I could make something useful for others.
As for this character, it looks very nice so far!
I am excited to see how she develops.
I love seeing how characters develop.
And if you ever wish to RP, I am open~
