new (kind of) and need help

Hello all :* I used to play TEF a couple years ago, but I never really joined in the community that much. I believe this was a side account I made but it was the only login I could remember. anywho, I decided to rejoin the forest! But this time, also try to meet some people and develop my first character, the one who will be associated with this account's picto. I'm just looking for someone or maybe a couple someones who can guide me a bit and answer some questions? Right now I am still in the basic stages of deciding what my deer should appear as and what her name should be. I also have a very vague idea at best of how bios and CSS works. Cue everyone linking me to informational pages lol but nah really any help is appreciated!! Everyone here seems very nice and I'm excited to be coming back.

Oh my discord is howling-rabbit#5662 if you want quick answers >:0

Hello!! I'm the one that

Hello!! I'm the one that helped you get your set a few days ago I think - I'm sorry about yesterday, I was trying to be IC and wasn't sure how to tell you that without seeing rude ;; I'm sorry if I came off that way! I

Chromai - Thank you for the

Chromai - Thank you for the link, it has a lot of useful stuff I’ve been browsing through. Also first dumb question, is Discord a messenger of some kind?? I’ve never seen or heard of it before except in this community

bunnybee - I figured your deer was IC, no worries :* Mine will typically be IC as well, just too clingy for her own good (and much like me, still figuring out the forest and its inhabitants ^^). Thank you for your help though!! The first time I got my set completed, TEF crashed before I could save (rip) and I figured I was being pretty dang annoying showing up again after all that work lol

Thanks again everyone!! I just made a discord acc, mine is macncheese#8380 to anyone who would like to add me, also I will be adding those who already left their info here (: and yes if you see my deer in forest feel free to say hi!
I mostly would just like help in deciding a name for my character and developing her. Right now I can’t decide on a pelt either. Initially I wanted her to be white using the permadevout trick which I remember I had used previously when I was in the forest. However when I tried finding info on that again it turns out it only works in 3.31 or earlier? I thought that was odd because when I first was in the forest 3.41 had already been out a while and I could see my third gen pictos which is how I know it wasn’t 3.31, yet I vividly remember getting permadevout frequently. I tried downloading 3.31 and not only could I not view my deer's pictogram but it also did not load correctly. Maybe I’m just not remembering something right? anyways I settled for the swan pelt, but I’m not really digging it as much so back to square 1

I'd recommend checking out

I'd recommend checking out behindthename.com for exploring some names, you're going to know what tickles your fancy better than other people, and you can have fun playing with the random name generator over there to help get you started c:

Sometimes it's best to kinda pick a theme though with your naming conventions, like if there's a certain mythology or region of the world you like, try looking at names from there and see where it goes =D

and have you looked at the list of sets available for deer? If you haven't, seeing them all in one spot might help you decided on something. Otherwise it's perfectly ok to ask if someone would like to help you try out a few combos in game, just try closer to late evenings or weekends when someone might have more time to help you out ^^

I was able to decide on a

I was able to decide on a name, I was looking through the lists on behind the name and stumbled on one I liked, so thanks! I also have looked at the compiled sets for TEF, so I think you're right that I will just need to test them out in-forest sometime. Thanks to all the lovely people for adding me on discord too :*
