PERMANENTLY OFFLINE ROLEPLAY CHARACTER
I am from the Great Forest.
Iolanthe, what are you?
A Roe deer.
How old are you?
When I entered the Great Forest, I knew myself as twenty two.
Time is endless here, I do not know how long I have been here, though I can guess myself as four.
Would you ever go back home, if you had the chance?
I... I can hardly remember home. From my last memory, I would never go back.
Did you leave anyone behind that you miss? A love, perhaps?
N....no. Maybe. I remember kissing someone before I departed to this place. I cannot remember.
...
...
I cannot remember.
What do you like to do, Iolanthe?
Dance. I love to dance.
I love walks, too.
I cannot remember.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am Iolanthe. Call me Io, if it is less of a mouthfull. I am a straightforward doe with a rare ability to remember names from listening to others talk about them. Well, in Greece it wasnt rare. everyone did that. I am not a weakling, like some deer would say a thin, twig-like deer would be. I am strong and can hold my own. Hey, that is how my village chose their mates. The man had to abduct a woman (Fighting all the way, I might add) and carry her across the threshold of their home. I would fight so hard that nobody wanted to marry me... or they couldnt ever carry me across the threshold! I always laughed at them.
I really never wanted to marry anyone, anyway. No man was going to keep me in a house like a caged pet! I am a FREE BIRD! I am able to fly to the top of Mount Olympus and visit the Gods and Goddesses at my whim! I am the...... oh. I am sorry. I am ranting again. I used to be slapped for that.
It's also why I became a priestess. I lived at the temple with the Athenian priestess once, and helped her weave the garment for Athena. I was a young girl at that time, and I asked brazenly if I were able to become a priestess. Athena's priestess told me to consult Athena herself. I did. She told me that if I were to fight all marriage abductions for four years, I would become a priestess and she would give me a new life. Four years and many fights later, I was called on by the Athenian Priestess as she lay on her death bed. She told me Athena had spoke to her and said I was ready. She told me to... take an herbal potion she had mixed. It would allow Athena to touch me and take me to my new life.
I guess Athena did.
I want to forget Greece.
Things to know about Iolanthe:
- She is hardly ever seen in the Great Oak. The swirling wind of the place (which she thinks contributes to the hum it makes) makes her antlers make noise.
- She doesnt like the fact that her antlers make noise when wind passes over them. That's a love-hate-love-hate grudge there.
- Iolanthe is blunt. Please dont be personally upset if she speaks about something to your deer that is taken as insulting. Sure, the deer could get upset, that is okay. She tries not to be insulting.
- She knows the names of many deer before she meets them, just by observing others and hearing names. She doesnt stalk other deer, though, just is naturally highly observant. (a real-life deer trait) Iolanthe is working on letting others introduce themselves to her. She is more prone to doing this with characters that have been around awhile, and almost never knows the names of new characters unless they are younger offspring of old characters.
- This doe is VERY observant. She can tell a lot about anyone from a few moments talking. Please dont be upset if she states something secretive about your deer to him/her about their personality. I refrain from letting her know much about other deer aside from sometimes their names and a little of their personality. Call it Hear-say.
