History
His history is long, so get your popcorn and juice. Here we go.
Years ago, a Fawn was born in a forest. His mother thought he was so beautiful, that she named him Aiattaua, which was Native American for Beautiful Man. The fawn grew up with a normal life, and soon left his mother. One day, the young buck was exploring a part of the forest when he felt something kick his side. All of the sudden Aiatt was sleepy. His vision became blurry with sleepiness and he fell to the ground. He managed to see what looked like
a dart with a red thing at the end sticking to his side. That was the last thing he saw before he feel asleep.
He woke up a few hours later in a laboratory. He seemed to be in some type of cage. Aiatt saw a scientist working on something. Something didn't feel right. Right away he knew he had to escape the lab. The scientist saw that Aiatt was awake and took him out of the cage. Aiatt bucked the scientist and just... ran. He didn't know where he was going, he just had to get out of there. He saw an exit out of the laboratory and ran out. He heard the scientist running after him. Tranquilizer darts zipped everywhere. But Aiatt was desperate to escape, and was too fast for the scientist.
After the young buck was sure he had lost the scientist, Aiatt still felt... different. Mostly around his face. He looked at a reflection of himself and gasped at what he saw. He had a trunk! Like an elephant! That damn scientist had done tests on him! And now he was changed!
He wondered why he was named Aiattaua, which meant Beautiful Man. He was not a Beautiful Man. He was an ugly beast.
One day, while he was sauntering, lonely and miserable, in the forest, he felt another Tranquilizer dart hit his body. He fell asleep. He woke up, but not in another lab. Instead, he was in a circus. He saw many animals, tigers, lions, dogs, even birds. But no elephants. What was a circus without elephants?
Then, one day, the circus made him perform. He knew why there were no elephants then - he was better. A deer with an Elephant's trunk. The audience loved it. But Aiatt hated it. He even got a name- "Trunky", which made it worse. The circus also put blue and red bird feathers in his antlers. One day before the circus started, Aiatt saw a red and white mask that no one was using. He figured out how to put it on and then ran out. The circus was surprised, but they loved the mask. They thought it was for decoration. Only Aiatt knew why he had his mask.
As the years passed, by Aiatt realized that his antlers never grew bigger. He thinks that the reason his antlers never grew was because of the scientist's tests on him, making his antlers never grow, making Aiatt appear younger.
But soon the circus got boring, even with Aiattaua's trunk. The circus was closed down after a while. All animals were freed to the wild except for Aiatt. He was held in captivity. He managed to escape, and ran as fast as he could. Tranquilizer darts zipped everywhere. It was exactly like his escape from the laboratory so many years ago. He also managed to escape successfully.
Aiatt then lived in peace. And he thought that things would finally stay that way. He never bothered to take his mask off, or pluck out the feathers on his antlers. But this time of peacefulness only lasted a few days, for he found a portal that lead to a world in his forest. At first he was hesitant, afraid he would end up in the same laboratory. Aiatt finally jumped in, and ended up in the Endless Forest.
He has lived in the Forest ever since. But no one knows about his trunk, or his past.
Aiattaua's past still haunts him today. He still hates his name, for he is definitely not a Beautiful Man. And he will never forget the dreadful laboratory, nor the circus...
As an Elephant... Never Forgets
Personality
Very nice and caring, although cautious and hesitant with strangers. He is afraid of his trunk showing and might freak out a little if one gets too close to his mask. He might run away and will not come back for a long time unless someone comforts him.
Behavior
Nod head yes+ Shake head no=Bobbing his head. Usually does this during a dance.
Taunt + lower antlers= Either,
Back off! I'm warning you! or
No! Please! Don't take off my mask!
Lower antlers= Aiatt sometimes fights, but he never rears. He's afraid his mask will come off. So this is his way of fighting, but this is usually just a block from another deer's blow.
Hop+lower antlers= He's dodging you.
Taunt+rear=
I don't want to hurt you.
Scratch ground near tree/sleeping deer=
Want to spell spam?
Listen=scratch ground= This is his way of laughing. He tries not to roll on the ground laugh, as he is afraid someone will see what's behind his mask.
Rearing at a tree= He's angry and wants to attack random trees.
Taunt+sad=
I'm sad or angry now. Please leave me alone.
Roar+listen= He's looking to see if his friends are in the forest.

Aiatt was still so new to the forest. Was there more about the forest than he knew? The forest seemed unique, weird, and magical. At least the forest seemed peaceful.
Aiatt spotted another doe in the distance. He walked closer, but then stopped, turning away. Why would she love a beast like me? Suddenly there was a crack! Aiatt looked down and saw a broken twig.
Damn.
Aiatt turned around and looked back at the doe, wondering what she would do.
(Aha mkay XD She's been
Mariposa was sleeping- in a nightmare. She was in darkness, only fog was what she could see. Eerie voices were whispering in her ear, but she could not understand them... something about her memories, but she couldn't make out what. And something about a name. 'Starts with an R' they said.
Her ears flicked left and right as the voices faded and then came up again in different directions. But suddenly all voices stopped and she could hear footsteps of some sort approaching her. Her heartbeat began to beat faster, anticipating who or what was coming towards her. In panic, she averted her eyes this way and that as the steps grew louder and louder and suddenly- SNAP!!!
She was awake.
Her eyes shot open and she jerked her head up in surprise. Her expression grew weary again. Her back was to the Aiatt, but her jet black hair cascaded in front of her. Mariposa slowly turned her head, but her hair blocked her face. Only her eyes, cheeks and nose were visible.
"Who's there?" she said, stated a little more like a question than she expected.
H-hello. So sorry to wake
Just...go back to sleep, OK? Aiatt "squeezed" his trunk, usually what he did when he was frightened or embarrassed.
(She has? It's ok if you want me to choose another character, I don't mind.)
(No no, that's ok XD It was
Mariposa shook her head. "Too late. I'm already awake and now I won't be able to sleep." until another memory drives me to depression she thought.
The doe stood up. Her pelt was dirty and dusty and now covered her butterfly markings. All she did was sleep on the dirty forest floor. There was a time when she was active and playful. There was also a time when she was lovely and welcoming. However, her depression quickly swallowed her up and she's been acting differently. "So who are you?"
Too late. I'm already awake
What does she mean by that?
Oh, ok, then. Hello. Aiatt replied.
So who are you?
Aiatt almost sighed. He hated his name, and saying it too. I am Aiattaua. But you can call me Aiatt. Please do. I hate Aiattaua and plus it's a mouthful, isn't it? Now let's hope she doesn't find out it's a trunkful, too. And who are you?
I hate Aiattaua and plus it's
This made Mariposa laugh, a good laugh, the kind of laugh she hasn't had in a very long time. But it didn't sound like...a regular laugh...There was something awry about it.
Perhaps, insane-sounding? "Aha, that's funny. Atti, is it? I'm probably saying it incorrectly...forgive me."
And who are you?
"My name is Mariposa," the doe said. Then she turned around in a circle, trying to examine herself. "I see I'm not presentible. Humph. Oh well, I deserve it. All I ever do is sleep..."
She shook her body and some of the dust flew up and off of her, but it seemed like it was caked in. Mariposa coughed. "Ugh, sorry. I should really wash off..."
The doe's laugh sounded
My name is Mariposa, I see I'm not presentible. Humph. Oh well, I deserve it. All I ever do is sleep...
Hello, Mariposa. That's quite a nice name. Mariposa's comment about sleeping made him laugh a little. I don't like to sleep. I mean, I sleep when I'm tired, but... sleeping... is a bit hard for me.
Ugh, sorry. I should really wash off...
Aiatt looked at Mariposa's body. It was caked in dirt and dust. His yellow-brown eyes looked down at his trunk. Perfect time to use these.
Mariposa, I want you to turn around, and there will be a surprise for you, he said, pointing his hoof at the other direction.
(Gah, sorry for the late reply, I was adding some links in Aiatt's Voice section)
(XD That's ok! I did see the
Mariposa nodded, "Alright then." Mariposa turned around, wondering what surprise he had.
Aiatt was surprised Mariposa
(I love Star Wars)
Once she felt the water
"How did you do that so fast?" Mariposa asked curiously, looking back up at him.
None of your business,
Mariposa grew suspicious that
Mariposa turned around and began to amble to the pond. She was already feeling tired. Mariposa yawned a bit and gave a sigh. "So...tell me about yourself Atti."
Hmm...Well it did feel
Well, maybe everyone does it differently, then. Aiatt laughed.
Walk with me to the pond, will you?
Aiatt was somewhat surprised that Mariposa had asked him to the pond. But he agreed and began to trot to the pond.
So...tell me about yourself Atti.
Oh, there's nothing that special about me. I'm just your regular deer. No skulls or skeletons or evil powers or nothin'- just a buck always wearing this mask. Of course, Aiatt's trunk was a power, but not an evil one, so he was not really lying.
(Can I add Atti to nicknames?)
(Go right ahead :3) "Did
"Did you grow up in the forest?" Mariposa asked.
Mariposa has heard many stories of deer who somehow found their way into the forest, those who were not born in the forest. People like her.
(Oh, what it the code you used to the background picture? )
Did you grow up in the
That stopped Aiatt cold. He stopped trotting and started to breath heavily, remembering everyone laughing at his trunk, the laboratory, where everything changed... he almost started to shiver in fear.
N-no... I didn't... but I don't really like to talk about my past. He got more quiet as he talked now, but loud enough for Mariposa to hear. Aiatt wasn't lying. His past was too hard to tell. He began to walk, but more slowly now. His pupils kept peering down at his truck, which was hidden by his mask.
What about you? Where did you come from? Did you grow up in the forest?
EDIT: Here's the code:

Stalking this~
Mariposa stopped and looked
"I came from a different place in a different world," Mariposa said with a sigh. "But it's quite complicated to describe, as my history is very very long. Plus...It'd be best if it went unspoken for reasons...unnecessary to be said. And, like you, I also don't like to talk about my past. But I guess it was silly of me to even propose a question like that to you when it's the question you ask right back at the asker."
As Mariposa then waded in to the water of the pond, a bit more of the left-over dust was rinsed off and therefore exposed more of her pelt. Her very long hair trailed behind her in the water. Then she got out of the deep end of the pond and exited the pond at the shallow end. Her hair was dripping wet. Mariposa tapped and stretched her legs to rid of the water. Her pelt glimmered in the sunlight. She really did look like a butterfly. Her pelt was dark brown with orange butterfly-wing markings on both her sides. Along her legs where smears of silver.
I came from a different place
I've lived on earth for years... if this forest is included... and for most of my life it's been nothing but... well, um, I just can't explain. And, if I told you my story, you probably wouldn't like it.
Aiatt watched as Mariposa waded into the deep water and then came out, with a shiny, wet pelt that shined in the sunlight. Aiatt walked in the shallow water of the pond and touched the deep part slight with his hoof. He backed away. He was afraid he would lose his mask. So for a moment he just stood there, staring at the water.
"I'm pretty sure I could
When she looked back at where Atti was, he wasn't there anymore. Then she turned around and saw him staring down at the water. "You alright?"
I'm pretty sure I could
I don't think you would.
You alright?
Oh, uh, yes, I'm fine. Atti shook his head and backed out of the water. I'm perfectly fine, thanks.
Mariposa shrugged. Her first
"You know, you can tell me
Aiatt decided he could tell Mari some of his past.
Well... before I entered the forest, I was in a circus. That's where I got this mask and these feathers on my antlers. Atti's pupils looked up at the blue and red feathers on his yellow antlers. The red ones look like a cardinal's feathers and the blue ones look like one from Blue Jays, don't they?... Oh, my apologies, I'm rambling again, aren't I?
Mariposa chuckled and shook
Well, I preformed there, the
Mariposa gave a nod. "I
Aiatt jumped back when he
(I am having too much fun with this)
Mariposa jerked herself back
(Haha, me too! XP )
Alright, alright, let me just
Dammit, she's getting suspicious.
Atti let Mari examine his mask though.
Hmm, I've only rarely seen these masks. Not too many people wear them nowadays, at least of what I've seen.
Well, I did get this mask from the other world. Aiatt paused. If you are wondering how I got it, I'm happy to tell you. I found it before A performance, it was in a room. I did not know what it was to be used for but I found it quite...pretty. So I put it on and when the audience saw me with the mask, they loved it.
Mariposa gave a slight smile.
(*insert dun dun duuuuh
What is behind the mask? Did the crowd still love you, even without it?
Aiatt started backing away. Nothing, just my face, that's all. They did love me without the mask, though. I was so good in doing all the tricks that I did not need a mask for them to go wild. Aiatt was getting horrified. The last thing he wanted in this world was for someone to know the secret behind his mask. No, it was -1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 on the list of things he wanted to happen.
Mariposa shook her head at
No no...No need to be afraid
I know what you want. Forget it, you wouldn't like me. No one will. Aiatt sighed and turned around. I don't want to see you screaming and running away.
"I do like you," Mariposa
Mariposa graceful turned and hopped out of the shallow end. "I can show you what I hide."
Mariposa lied down and closed her eyes. Though it required a large sum of mental strength, she finally managed to transform to her true body. Standing before him now was no longer a doe, but a human being. Her black hair never seemed to end. It was so long and flowing, like a river. Her skin was very pale and fair. Mariposa had not transformed into a human in ages. She was wobbly on her feet, she stumbled a bit toward him. She was wearing a sheer orange garment dress, but it wasn't much.
Her big, green eyes looked at him. "There, this is who I am."
Aiatt turned back, facing
Mariposa grinned and gasped.
"It's not scary at all," she comforted. "You look unique and different- which there are many people I know who are unique and different. There's no need for that mask."
With a giggle, Mariposa skipped a few feet away and faced him again. She extended her arms. "Spray me again!" she cheered.
Wow! That is soo cool!!! It
Aiatt was surprised that Mariposa had not screamed and ran away in horror. You... you don't think I'm ugly? Aiatt looked down at his reflection. He remembered when he first saw his deformed self. He almost screamed. Ever since then Aiatt always wished it was just a dream, a nightmare.
But... do you promise not to tell anyone this? Aiatt asked. Some deer would be different than Mari and scream whenever they saw his face.
You don't think I'm ugly?
"No..You're not ugly at all," Mariposa said, following his gaze and looking at the reflection in the mellow waters.
Mariposa carefully placed the mask back upon Aiatt's head. "Even though it's not good for your self-confidence, I won't tell. That's a promise."
No..You're not ugly at all,
Aiatt smiled at the complement. Although Mariposa might be the only doe in this world who thinks i'm ugly.
Aiattaua let Mariposa put the mask on his head again.
Even though it's not good for your self-confidence, I won't tell. That's a promise.
Thank you, so much.
Mariposa shrugged. "It's no
The girl folded her hands and swayed from side to side as she looked around in boredom.
Atti sucked in some water and
Mariposa laughed in surprise
Mariposa laughed in surprise as the water completely soaked her. Still laughing, she began to spalsh him with the pond water. The water bended this way and that way, sailing through the air. Then Mariposa dove in the water and disappeared beneath the merkyness...
...Mari? Aiatt said after he
Mariposa sneakily swam behind
As Aiatt swam underwater, he
Mariposa covered her face as
Haha, I surprised you, didn't
Mariposa turned over on her
Mariposa climbed from out of the river crevasse and sat beside the idol. Gently, she stretched out a hand and ran her fingers over the old stone. Suddenly, a sad, deep feeling of despair washed over her. She couldn't even understand this odd, mixed feeling. Before long, she was silently crying and sobbing. But her tears weren't ordinary tears- it was blood. The red droplets dripped from her eyes and onto her bare legs and even leaked in the water.
