Beau (for whom the bell tolls)
aka Beauregarde

Gender: male
Species: unicorn
Age: foal
Size: small for a foal; #14 on the size chart

A lone unicorn colt, recently reincarnated into the Forest. He's easily camouflaged beneath the shade of the trees, courtesy of his shadowy pelt. He is unusually small and of indeterminable age beyond "young". His horn is still just a diamond-shaped button in the center of his forehead.

He is cursed to share a thousand lifetimes with Knife Princess. This is just one of them.

He seems both aware of his predicament and displeased by it. Though he has no memory of his past lives, he knows this to be the next in his nigh-endless chain of subsequent reincarnations. Beyond this unusual wisdom, he is a regular foal — quiet, without the words yet to explain his situation, shy around his agemates, and sometimes uncanny.

He isn't the most social, but he seems to have integrated into the Forest quickly in the short time he's been here. He has no parents to speak of, but one might not notice for how often he is accompanied by others. On the off chance he's alone, he is usually found playing near the bridge. He smells like wood bark and pond muck.

He has no humanshape associated with his time in the forest yet, but in past lives (though he does not know it), he has been a gentle but rather tormented man. In one he is a vampire, in another a stablehand, and in yet another he is a man who lost his other half. In all, he has been in some manner of messy relationship.

I don't have any art to show of him yet, but when I do, some will go here!

a backlog of old

a backlog of old screenshots:







beau's first real interaction with other creatures around the forest, at least the first i captured screenshots of. what a lovely group. eris, mewe, and valaire taught beau how to use his little uncoordinated body to spin, backflip, and, erm... become a tree!





a few days later, beau ran into some faces, some old & some new. Smiling he met pestil for the first time (who has a particularly beautiful picto!). i'm not sure who the other deer in this image is, but he had a fantastic time cuddling with them!





someone new & someone familiar arrived! widmung (i believe) and eris giving beau a squish alongside pestil, and keeping him safe while he has a nap!



he woke up to a very busy cuddle pile Smiling i didn't quite catch the names of all these cool cats, but eris, widmung, pestil, and mewe were there for sure.

i learned how to use reshade



i learned how to use reshade today, so now my screenshots look extra moody, especially with the night-time lighting. beau encountered rindea, and they played briefly before he led her back to his favorite spot (the bridge) for some cuddles.





melodíades joined the group for a brief nap. the ambiance was particularly beautiful tonight, and the lovely company just made it better!

Hi! It's nice to see you

Hi! It's nice to see you here. Beau's bio is awesome. <3 I like the idea of reincarnations a lot. I'm a sleeping black and white deer with lilac flowers on the antlers. I had a lot of fun playing with Beau. I hope to meet him in the Forest again soon.

Really interesting character

Really interesting character bio, I quite adore the idea of a thousand lifetimes and reincarnations, it always makes for very sad and complex stories <3 Excited to see art of him too, unicorns are always super cool Laughing out loud

Happy to have met Beau too! Thank you for letting my Melodíades keep him company for a bit, he's a bit of a quiet fellow but maybe they can play together someday <3
