> Nothing to prewarn about, any updates on this blog will be fairly tame. Minor violence in the spirit of the event is it.
> None of mine are up for kids. Really want to focus on building lasting ties and relationships with them this year. Friendships are the main goal but things like flings, rivalries, enemies aren’t off the table… Please feel free to approach me or them for anything, rp is super welcomed and I'll love you forever.
> I might be interested in playing a baby or two! I don’t really have many strict requirements, but I would like for a potential baby to be attached to some sort of world outside of the forest, this really helps me find the inspiration for them / give them a bit of development. I’m esp interested in fantasy & historical settings!! Otherwise, I’m flexible with design and gender but can be a little picky with what catches my interest… BUT please feel free to approach me with anything ;o;

>Entering her initially as a challenger but toes the line of competitor. Doesn’t have a particularly strong drive to herd massive groups and actively collect lots of judges but won’t turn down company if she receives it after a fight. More likely to focus on keeping small groups or lone individuals company than building the biggest herd.
>Looking to reconnect with the forest primarily. Familiar with the rut and its varied meanings for each individual but here to socialise above all, even if she wouldn’t admit to that. Outwardly fairly relaxed and easy company. Not particularly affectionate but will accept / give it if it's clear the other is comfortable with such.
>A swift and agile fighter, fights unlike a cervine, relying heavily on tooth and nail. Doesn’t use her antlers in combat as they're fragile (and also poisonous :') ). Aims to wear down larger opponents by baiting attacks out of them and attacking in the openings when they miss. More forward with those of a similar size and fighting style to her.

Day 2
Wasn't initially planning on doing anything but did!! Joined a herd of her familiars early on to just vibe but took up a fight from Garai when he started slinking around. From there on out started gathering any stray faces that were nearby since no one else seemed up for taking a lead in the herd. She okay with that - but, was planning to spar and drop out when someone more up for it came by.
Thought she'd get a break from herd duties when Eztli came over but got offenDED by how aggro was being. Pls sir, I'm just here to vibe :'< Sparred with again reluctantly after the first was broken up, hoping he'd eventually give up. Ended up losing Mirah after Ezt showed no sign of stopping. Grateful however that she did leave with Ezt and that seemed to placate him, let her go as she had to wish to cause any more aggro with the male.
After that, did much of the same, welcoming new faces into the herd but letting them go freely should they wish it to find more action elsewhere. Overall fairly chill? Was hoping a competitor would come by and take over the group but seemed this was a quiet corner of the forest. Ended up slinking off later to rest.
Later in the evening came back with the intention of... not doing much. Did so in the company of Matthew, Landan, Kozan, Wick and the extended herd they were in. Invited Erwen over later after seeing the judge nearby but other than that did little else and eventually made her leave.

>Young but spirited. Here for the thrill of fighting and once more honing her skills, not looking to herd and may end up joining a group after her sparring. That being said, wouldn't turn down anyone who seeks out her company.
>Wearing her battle mask (antlers out, x) to make up for her lack of weapons. In addition to this using her hooves to kick and slash at opponents. Fast and knows how to target weak spots in larger opponents, will aim to use their size against them. Not as confident dealing with those smaller or more agile than herself.
Her wolf companion wont be fighting alongside her during this time but may occasionally be seen around as a flicker in the corner of a character's eye.
>May take up a judging role in her downtime / when judges aren't all that active. During this time will be antlerless.

Day 1.
No nice updates bc I didn't write anything quick enough and now I've forgotten... bUT had an intense first day. Fought off five others while still managing to maintain a herd. Eventually left to rest after forfeiting the group to Hati. Trying to conserve some energy for later rather than overworking himself on the opening day.
Day 3.
Def feeling the activity pick up in forest today, seeing a lot more individual herds and competitors around. Pleased to see both his parents and younger sister in the forest. Reunited with Fri and offered Raavas a brisk nod before moving off, not wishing to overstay his welcome.
Got captured by Sigel who set up a fight between him and Malachi. A little tense around the raptor... but this one did seem a bit more,, docile, than the others he had previously met so, you're ok I guess.. Didn't win the favour of any judges apart from Sigel who accompanied him over to two others (Osha & Accendare). Lost Sigel's attention pretty quickly after some grooms but did manage to bring over Mischief and Afzal. Recognises the latter from last year. After this had a few more faces come by (Melantha & Olga) and didn't have to challenge anyone!! Until Hector came by at which point after losing a sizeable portion of the herd decided to forfeit again (sorry Jalo, player can't sit still for long sigh).
Came back later, found Landan and Vesper. Welcomed the latter to the forest upon finding out from the former that they had only just arrived. Got Stria! Big lady! Then went off to challenge Calamus and managed to capture the interest of a good few familiar and not, though did loose Stria. Soon GREI came by >
not pleased about this and is convinced she set up Cornelius to come fight him. Held onto the group and Cornelius joined (along with a giant crow and bunny lmao) but was still on edge until Grei left the vicinity. Later gained Mirah when Raavas decided to retire for the night but by this time the herd was beggining to thin out. Cuddled Tuli when she came over, look at my beautiful strong daughter <3. And then extended an invitation to Ouro who was sitting nearby.

Likes the energy the rut brings to the forest – a chance to be social and have a good time.
Favours competitors that are aesthetically pleasing TM or just those who have the biggest or liveliest crowds. Likes to be where the action is and can get bored easily if she’s not in the middle of it all. Wants to branch out from her family’s side a little and be more independent but will still keep an eye on them and be by their side should they need it.
A social butterfly and fairly confident amongst others despite a somewhat quiet life in her father’s world. Ok with affection and can enjoy it dependent upon the situation but will quickly make her mind known if she isn’t comfortable with it. Def a bit of a flirt.

Finds the rut hard to comprehend; a strange event in a strange world. Her second experience of it though still doesn’t fully understand it, perhaps coming from her very human point-of-view. A private soul and though she doesn’t seem to be particularly social is indeed here for the prospect of making new bonds - or just meeting interesting creatures.
Falling again into the role of judge as it allows her to be the most social and she has no experience of fighting in her equine form… or want to for that matter. In truth not particularly invested in the fighting so favours any sort of creativity or wits shown during the spars. Also drawn to creatures simply because they seem kind or interesting in some way.

Day 1, 28th
Started off the day in a small herd led by Nix, before going to take a small break when things started livening up. Rejoined the action, seeing the tail end of Aligheri vs. Hati after being invited closer by Hector. Got complimented by Aligheri after choosing to stay with him, inwardly suspicious because she's a bit of a paranoid recluse like that and not used to getting complimented but also... it felt nice u.u.
Hung around in the same herd for quite a while, watched it get fairly crowded. Mainly hanging around a particular few judges (Olga, Kozan, Landan) while there. Tried to bring a lurking Kyoyuu closer. Soon after this left as the herd also began to break up.
Came back in the evening, joined a herd that didn't seem to belong to anyone in particular (Kunst, Matthew, Scáthach & Cornelius + a few familiar judges). Watched Scáthach vs Soren then later moved to sit with the pony club.
Day 2
Joined Nix's herd again and I essentially don't think she moved from there lmao. This is the quality of my updates from now on ty.

Mostly just… around. Will join a herd if his family or a friend is there or spar now and then.
Characters can treat him as anything they perceive him as. Whether they take him as a competitor or try to herd him, go for it. Results may vary though :').
During quieter times may take up a competitor role? Shown in game as candle-less antlers. Big and strong, relentless when fighting, main aim is to overpower and overwhelm an opponent.
