Appearance

Set: Golden Butterfly Pelt, Real Deer Mask, Noh Antlers
Reference | Size: About #7

-- Currently in the process of having her design updated! Temporary Face Ref (deer face would have no mane hair and the markings would mimic both these markings and whitetail markings) | Temporary Pelt Ref

-- Pelt is a soft gold color, which has faded somewhat over time. Some of the markings she had as a young doe are no longer as prominent as they once were, though the faint stripes of brown are still visible. There are dark points on the tips of her ears and her lower legs. Whitetail markings have become more prominent.

-- Build of a whitetail deer. Not particularly strong, but agile and fast.

-- Can change her face between that of an Endless Forest deer (human-esque) and a regular whitetail as a result of spending a long period of time on Earth. She can only do this after her mask is put on, though (the three stages: maskless with a human face, human face with mask, regular deer face). Her eyes are a hazel-olive color regardless of which she is using. Two small horns have grown on her head, a by-product of forest magic.

-- When her face is not that of a regular deer's, she may have a "mane" of sorts that mimics human hair, beginning behind her horns and ending about halfway down her neck. Usually kept braided down to where it doesn't swing much.

History

-- Entered the forest in late July of 2008.

-- Had a fairly uneventful fawnhood. Taken under the wing of an albino Spanish Red Deer by the name of Leon, who left the forest for his home shortly after Martisol and her younger brother, Validus, were grown.

-- Life had its ups and downs, friends would come and go, but for a while things were fine. Martisol had a number of close friends she could depend on and found happiness through.

-- Things began to change when she took pity on and adopted a young, troubled fawn by the name of Murrough. This led to catastrophe when he grew older, as he attacked not only her best friend and brother, but ended it all by taking his own life and drowning himself in the pond.

-- Martisol blamed herself for everything that happened, pushing herself into a depressive state. It took many months for her to recover enough to function normally again, and even then she was still haunted by what happened. Considered leaving the forest and the memories behind.

-- Began to fall in love with her best friend. But even with that positive, it wasn't enough to stop her desire to distance herself from what had happened. Eventually chose to leave the forest, and though she still kept in touch with him for a while, just like she was afraid would happen, they fell out of touch. Has never forgotten him or her feelings for him, though.

-- Spent many years on Earth, though she never felt like she fit anywhere. However, it did have its own affect on her over time. Eventually, the longing to return home was too strong, so she would begin to visit at odd intervals.

-- Is currently trying to make a return of sorts, though she may be scarce.
