I woke up gently, but quickly noticed the absence of my brother from my side. I looked round - still hidden under the rocks of the playground, he had left me safely sleeping...he had probably gone to find friends or chase something.



I got up and, feeling thirsty decided to head own to the pond for a drink - my progress through the forest was slow. Unlike my brother, I was content just to walk through the dappled trees, pausing now at then to look around. I neared the pond, but stopped - I could hear movement, far too loud to be the normal forest sounds...then a deep booming call. I stopped behind one of the older trees and saw them, all gathered between me and the water.



My first instinct was to run, to get away from the huge crowd of deer; most of them were adults, and I could see the huge racks of antlers from my hiding place. I wanted to run away, fear chilling me all over and freezing me to the spot...then I could see one laughing, and a few others began to dance. It brought back memories; Mother dancing with Murchen, Father laughing as my brother toppled over, his long fawn legs tangling. I stood and watched, hardly breathing so as not to reveal myself. I needn’t have feared - the crowd was too happy, enjoying each other, dancing; they didn't notice me. After awhile, my legs grew heavy beneath me and I sat, still watching.

Name » Morag
Meaning » 'great' in gaelic
Other Names » little ghost

Picto »
Looks Like » a hill under still sky

Gender » female
Age » young fawn

Personality » Morag is the complete opposite of her hyperactive brother ; she likes to be still ad quiet, often spending hours just listening to the forest. She is shy, extremly so, and finds other deer far too scar to approach; even other fawns have her running in panic. She watches other deer, too nervous o approach and too scared to stay when approached - but she likes to watch them at play. Morag is also very respectful of the Twin Gods [she remembers her mother telling her about them; she said that Morag and her brother were special, since they were twins too] and, despite her fear of others, she has often spent time running about and spreading the devout pelt amongst sleeping deer.
History » Morag and her twin brother, Murchen, have only a couple of memories of their parents. Morag barely remebers their father; just that he was huge and scary, but alwas ver gentle around her. She remembers their mother better than Murchen, having barely left her side since birth. But their parents left when they were fawns; the twins woke up one morning alone, and never saw them again. This abandonment only made Morag's fear and shyness worse, but Murchen became her parent figure and made sure she was never in real danger.

Name » Murchen
Meaning » 'hare' in Scots Gaelic
Other Names » fleeting trickster, little hare

Picto »
Looks Like » a whirly-thing on a chair...to me anyway

Gender » male
Age » young fawn

Personality » Murchen is flighty by nature, never staying in the same place twice. He is a sociable thing, loving games of any sort, but he is restless and easily distracted - one minute engrossed in a dance or game the next running after a frog or another deer in he distance. Excitable and hyper, he loves any game that involves running as fast as he can, and can often be found doing just that - darting between trees and looping around the landmarks. He is fearless, unless it comes to water which he is terrifed of - Murchen is fiercely loyal to his sister and will chase off any other deer who scare her [which is easily done], even if it means challenging deer twice his size.
History » Murchen and his twin sister, Morag, have only a couple of memories of their parents. Murchen remembers his father having large antlers and that he was heavy footed. He remembers his mother better; the smell and sound of her, as well as how warm she was. But their parents left when they were fawns; the twins woke up one morning alone, and never saw them again. From then on, Murchen looked after his sister, who's shyness had only increased after their familys disbandment.

Likes » running as fast as possible, in any direction; jumping about lke a mad rabbit, usually over people; exploring the Forest and generally mucking about.
Dislikes » water deeper than ankle high; staying still for too long; squirrels.
