Hello! My name is Hum, and you are most likely here because you've found a being using this Pictogram in the Forest and want to know more about the character behind it. Regrettably, it will not be as simple as clicking and finding a biography instantly, hence the need for this post at all. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions, including if you aren't sure who I'm currently playing.

While I do have three Pictograms for my formal characters, I also have beings I call personas. As defined on my Nexus post, my personas "[...] are characters which I believe are not developed enough to be counted as characters. They are a range of things varying from singular concepts which I thought would be interesting to introduce to the Forest, to beings who would be OCs if they possessed the capacity for dynamic development." While I did want to play them in TEF occasionally, I did not want to use Pictograms just for these intermittent beings when they could go to much better homes, so I have condensed them down to my fourth Pictogram, which had no purpose otherwise. While I may technically choose to play any of them that I have listed (or not listed, if any exist at the time), these are the most common ones I expect to be found being played in TEF:

"EyeOfRa"
Set: Antelope Antlers. Skull Mask. Permadevout Pelt.
I never intended for the Pictogram itself to become a character, but I tossed a set on the account to hold it for convenience and it grew a mind of its own. I don't know much about him, but he has something to do with luck, is not afraid of anything really, and is overall rather detached from the world. He's very amiable and conversational, he loves to observe and even participate in things in the Forest, but he just feels "above it" without sounding so condescending. He feels like he's here for fun, and that nothing can hurt him, and that he knows it but is not prideful about it, nor ashamed.

Mixed-Species Wanna-Be
Set: Magpie Feather Antlers. Peacock Mask. Peacock Pelt.
Sex: Female, but difficult to discern. Hardly more than a fawn, not yet truly a doe.
Age: 17/80.
Species: Chinese Water Deer. (Thinks she’s part Malayan Peacock-Pheasant.)
She wears a mask which looks like the face of a pheasant. Having found this at a very young age, it most likely contributed to her current concept of herself. She is a mutant (due to high testosterone levels), having larger canines than most females. These are not visible with her mask, but have contributed to her gender ambiguity. Rather than viewing herself as the deer she is, she’s been influenced by the unusual chimeras around the Forest—odd conglomerations of many species not usually considered related. She views herself as partially deer, and partially bird: specifically, a Malayan Peacock-Pheasant, which she learned is the species which her mask was carved to represent. Entirely immersed in her illusion, she goes through rituals—some not necessarily savory by Forest standards—to hold up her disguise, or as she sees it, her identity. Far beyond pretending, she’s reached a concerning level of self-deception, so entirely convinced that even her efforts to keep up appearances have become routines for other purposes in her own mind: for instance, rolling in the bodies of deceased birds to pick up their scent and catch some of their feathers, which she meticulously preens into a more presentable state, is merely another manner of grooming for her, totally normal in her eyes. She is, perhaps, even unaware of these actions, rejecting them to uphold her delusion and moral stances. All of her self-deception aside, she’s actually a very nice young thing, respectful and patient and kind to everyone she meets. Still, she’s certainly odd, and often a bit disconcerting.

Spooky Scary Skeleton
Set: Zombie Antlers. Zombie Mask. Deer of the Dead Pelt.
Title: Spooky. Spooky Scary Skeleton.
Sex: Male. Bull. Alternates between "it" and "he."
Age: ???/80.
Species: Irish Elk.
An actual skeleton. More specifically, the skeleton (likely fossilized) of an Irish elk which has been reanimated by magic. It had no living tissue whatsoever, and so can come apart freely at any time, and reassemble itself at will by the magic which grants it life. He is something of a party animal, very simplistic in nature but that is his only real tie to feral animals. He greatly enjoys dancing and other shenanigans such as amusing or frightening others by suddenly falling apart or just generally being the spooky scary skeleton that he is. He is utterly harmless despite his size and the fact that he is a skeleton.

The Courtesan
Set: Monarch Butterfly Antlers. Real Deer Mask. Dark Real Deer Pelt.
Name: Carmen. Brandy. Honey. Scarlet. You get the picture.
Title: The Courtesan.
Sex: Female. Doe.
Age: 24/80.
Species: Southern Honshu Sika Deer/"Nara Park" Sika Deer. TEF Deer Influenced—has a mane which presents itself similarly to hair.
Though she most certainly does exchange material goods for sexual favours, she is not cheap and it by any means tasteless. Rather charming by deer standards—going to great lengths to groom her long, very dark brunette mane and often decorating herself with flowers and other such things—she is extremely aloof and not afraid to speak her mind. In fact, it is doubtless that she has lost potential clients in the past by her attitude alone, as things are her way or no way. Well-versed, intelligent, and silver-tongued, she will zero in on “what you don’t like about you” and use it to her advantage. Despite her streetwise personality and penchant for verbal smack-downs, she is not mean by nature, simply experienced in defending herself and her chosen profession. Due to her experiences, she is quick to assume that others are against her, and is something of a loner by nature due to this. However, she’ll make quick friends with anyone of a similar mindset to hers, and their clique will be one to be respected.
