Cydae *Bio* The Gravedaughter

August 9, 2018
"I've met humans before!"
Was hanging out at the Ruins when Darkweaver came by after finishing up with his pumpkins. Spent some time playing around with him and bumping into just about every gravestone in the meantime. Finally settled down in a hyacinth patch, content to rest and listen to his tales of yore. Spoke of her own stories too, how she encountered her first humans at the beginning of the year when her girlfriend Medusa took her to the country of Greece.

March 11, 2018
Awakened in the night and went to the twin gods to retrieve her pelt. However, was spared the trouble when a kind little buck, Heilong, spelled her so she wouldn't have to do it herself. Thanked the little one and spent a few minutes running, jumping, and dancing with him and the buck Clarion. Found it all to be great fun, and said farewell to the pair when she needed to return to the Ruins.


August 9, 2017
Found Sayuri in the afternoon and rested with her for a while before Lemon showed up, followed by a man-thing. Was told his name was Walter and bowed. Gave Lemon the most useless side-eye regarding the conversation that followed and fought to keep Sayuri's ears covered. Think of the children. >(
Then fell asleep again because I don't check the game often enough to keep her awake lmao. Ended the day resting with Lemon, Walter, Sayuri, and a new stranger in the poppies in the Ruins.

August 5, 2017
Assisted in the birth of Sayuri a while back, having helped Lemon take care of the fawn during these first precarious weeks. Created the headstone for Moriko, Sayuri's mother, and buried the dead doe once she and Lemon had mourned.
Currently resting with the two in the Ruins.

July 5, 2017
Accidentally adopted a strange, hungry dragon child who, with the help of Medusa, ate every single rabbit that was in the family cache.

May 11, 2017
Met the ill doe Moriko. She's pregnant, but dying. Offered to let her stay at the Ruins until she gave birth and to be buried here. Learned about the far-off forest of Japan from the doe, and promised to make her a gravestone like the ones they have there.

July 4, 2016
Sitting with her new niece, Chruthú. Running her nose over the fawn's fur and taking in its scent and traits. Grooming Chruthú if the fawn will allow it.

March 18, 2016
Sat with more deer today. Made the acquaintance of Pippit and later on casted mask spells with a small fawn. Sat across from an unknown creature (Maggot) before they left, and then returned to the fallen column near the poppies.

March 17, 2016
Tonight was a quiet night spent at the Ruins, sat with some lovely deer and got to meet new faces. Met Roo, a kind blue stag, and Eloa, another small doe. Found them both to be quite lovely, and despite accidentally falling asleep many times (many apologies, because as soon as I put her in forest I just crashed), still managed to have a good time.

The stag charged past a tree,

The stag charged past a tree, only to have a wayward root catch his back hoof and nearly rip his leg out of its socket as his momentum chased him to the ground. He struggled, but in his haste to free himself from the tree's grasp nothing was happening, he was stuck. Bound like he had been when he arrived a day or two ago, restrained like he had been time and time again. When something sounded nearby, something that was different from the voices in his head and the claws in his skin, he threw his head around to face it, but his eyes didn't seem to see the pink and brown shape. All he saw was a shadow standing there another one of his long time enemies. "Go away!" He pleaded, his voice lacking the authority it had had before, "Please..." he thrashed against the roots, striking them with his hooves as an instinctual fear overtook him.

She so wanted to oblige to

She so wanted to oblige to his request, run away, but she couldn't leave him thrashing around in the roots. He might break a leg, or worse, his own neck. But... was that so bad...? Considering the mental state he was in it might be a good thing to let him kill himself. The doe sighed, knowing that in this forest, death was hardly ever finite. The cons outweighed the pros of letting him thrash in the roots. Stepping forward slowly, she lowered her head and opened her mouth, intending to rip the root away with her revealed sharp teeth.

It wasn't going away. No. He

It wasn't going away. No. He was shaking as the doe stepped toward him, though he didn't see her as a living breathing doe, but as something ten times worse, another figment of his imagination just morphing into some other demon.
"Please..." he cried, struggling harder in his attempt to get away. The stag kicked out with his free back hoof in his attempt to flee, his forelegs scrabbling for a foothold among the earth and roots.

Cydae cried out and leapt

Cydae cried out and leapt back when she felt the hoof strike her face. "What's wrong with you!? Can't you think straight!? Gods!" She yelled at him, coiling her tail in frustration and pain. She stamped her hooves on the ground. "I'm only trying to get you out!" In anger, she rapidly tore away the root that had been holding him in place. "See?! That was all I was trying to do!" Cydae raised her voice, the pitch and volume increasing.

Jay, once freed, skittered

Jay, once freed, skittered behind the tree that held him captive, startled back to reality by the doe screaming at him. He stared at her, terrifed. When had she...where had she come from, when did she get there? How long had she been there? His ears lowered as he recognized she was bleeding. There was blood on his hoof too...he...had he done that? Had he hurt her? No...he couldn't have...he would have remembered doing that, wouldn't he? The other sensations faded away. The voices, the claws, the visions were leaving as his conscious attention was drawn elsewhere. He barely noticed them going away, his whole attention was fixated on the screaming doe.

Cydae growled at him,

Cydae growled at him, blinking the blood out of her eyes. Gods it hurt, but now she had to tough it out. Lowering her voice from a yell to just above a whisper, she asked, "Are you alright in the head?" Though she was quiet, her voice was laced with poison, dripping with acid. After a few moments of silence she asked again, once more nearing a scream. "Are you sane?!" The doe scraped her hooves against the ground in agitation, her head pounding.

He had perked his ears to listen to her soft voice, but when her voice abruptly rose, he couldn't help but flinch, stumbling back a couple of steps. "I...I don't know," He had trouble forming the words, "They...they say I'm not...I didn't mean to hurt you! I didn't know you were there..." he trailed off, his voice trembling with fear.

Ruffling her feathers

Ruffling her feathers frustratedly, she glared at this new buck. Cydae sat down on the grass, watching him. "Who are you?" The doe finally asked after a long silence. Her serpentine tail was coiled around her legs and her ears were perked forward so she wouldn't miss a thing he said. "And who is 'they'?"

Sorry, I don't think he can

Sorry, I don't think he can beat someone within an inch of their lives if he wanted to. But, she gets to deal with an insane guy, that's something different, right? By the way, I love that picture of her up there by Alcinda.


"My name is...is Darin. I prefer Jay though," he answered, looking toward the ground as to not have to see what he accidentally did to her. At her next question he snuck glance up toward her, "They...my...doctors. My parents."

She listened skeptically.

She listened skeptically. Doctors? What was a... doc-tor? Was it like what Momma was? Someone who healed? Or was it another word for family? He had said parents right afterwards. "Jay... Like in... Bluejay?" Cydae wondered, squinting at him.

Nah, don't worry about it. This was totally enough. <3
and thanks, Alcinda did an amaaaaaaaazing job. ^^

"Yes...my mother loved those birds. When she had me she gave it as my middle name." he paused for several moments, before asking, "What is your name?"


She did! I love all the little details she added.

After a few seconds

After a few seconds hesitation, she gave a slight nod. "Cydae. Cydae Gunden. It was the name of a creature in a book I read. I know how to read, it's pretty neat." Cydae cocked her head. "You know what reading is, right?"

He nodded, feeling himself

He nodded, feeling himself calm enough to awkwardly fold his legs under him to sit. He was starting to figure out that forelegs went first, than back legs. Same with getting up again. Doesn't mean he would remember it for next time, but at least for a moment he could. Cydae, he mentally said the name. Hearing it helped a lot; it was an interesting. He nodded slightly.
"Yes, I can read too. I do not remember liking it too well unless I was given a subject I enjoyed. I can write too, but I do not think I can write as well now, not with these," he uncurled a foreleg too stare at the hoof. Maybe it was like working with a quill...find the right angle that worked with the ink and the paper, not to mention stay legible.

"Writing?" Now she was intrigued. "I know how to write. With the berries, here, I mean. Though, it got really hard to once my eyes got bad. I couldn't see the paper in front of my face." Cydae asked, leaning slightly in so she could see him better. "What kind of subjects interested you?"

Interesting...writing with berries. He would have never considered that before. Her eyes were bad? He tried to sneak a glance at her face, to see if she had eye problems, but he couldn't tell. "Astronomy, history, weather....subjects like that," he replied, "I wasn't allowed outside much...so I studied what I wanted to learn, not what I had to learn."

Wasn't allowed outside? But he was outside. "I think you'd like my book, then. It talks about how the Gods of Gundenspyrr control all of that. They let the stars run on their own, and the plants grow on their own and all. they just created them and watch over everything." If he wanted her too, she'd tell him about the religion, she found it very interesting.

"Yep. Though, whatever you believe in is fine. This is just another possibility as to what might be up there." She looked up, squinting, it was twilight. Everything's colors seemed to blend in during this time. "If you can take me to the Ruins, I'll show you the book. The Ruins are what's left of an old cathedral. Not very hard to miss."

"I...I do not know where the Ruins are..." he confessed after a moment of thinking, "I only know where the really big tree is. An oak, I think it is." When she glanced up, he followed her gaze, feeling the sensation of butterflies in his stomach. Almost dark. Well...that will be fun, letting the demons rampage through his mind when he couldn't even see where he was going.

"Where's the oak tree? I can tell you where to go from there." Cydae asked, looking around, everything blurred together. Looking beside her, she couldn't even really tell the tree from the ground behind it.

"It is..." he looked about

"It is..." he looked about him, getting up to limp around the doe to peer into the trees. What direction had he come from? He couldn't remember...it was all a blur. "Is..." he whirled around, wincing from the pained muscle in his leg, to stare off in the different direction. Well...he hadn't come from that way, right? "I do not know. I cannot remember where it is from here, Cydae....what does the Ruins looke like? Perhaps I can spot it from here..."

Cydae fidgeted slightly, this wasn't good. "A huge collection of rocks that is set up like a building. But it's badly damaged. It looks kind of like where someone would go to practice their religion, ironically." She stated, trying to remember all of its features. "There's a mushroom circle to the left of it and a large poppy patch to the right."

Jay nodded to this new information, slowly expanding the distance between them to peek nervously around the trunks of trees. He had seen several flower patches in the forest, and already he could see several more just from looking around. They weren't a reliable navigational tool, at least in his opinion. He kept going, more afraid of running into some demon than he was running into another deer. He halted, his eyes catching something hiding behind several trees. Evergreens, or whatever they were. It was a rock, a slate colored rock. Or a pillar...column? "Cydae...?" he asked as he returned to her, "Does the Ruins have pillars? Or columns?"

Cydae nodded, relieved that

Cydae nodded, relieved that he had come back. "Yes, pillars, stones, columns, and there's a giant hole with some stairs leading down into it." She replied, standing up. Her eyes had started to adjust to the dim light more and she was able to see him a bit better. "You found it?"

"I..." he paused to glance

"I..." he paused to glance back the way he had come from, the pillar confirming his assumption, "I think so...? I see a slate gray pillar through the trees over this way," he nodded, "I think that's what I see...the Ruins."

"Well, there's only one of those here, so it must be it." She said enthusiastically. Cydae glanced in the direction he had looked back at, trying to see if she could see the broken building. She mentally debated whether she should ask him to take her there, but decided that it was too needy sounding. "Thanks for helping me out, by the way, it's very kind. Now that I know the general direction, I should be able to take us there with no issue, though, should I stray, it would be appreciated if you helped me back on course." The tan doe stated, walking ahead of Jay. After a few steps, she glanced behind her at him. "Come on, then."

Nice for Adrastos to finally meet her.
Also, the reason people are usually serious about their disclaimers is because there have been issues in the past. Then again, people more serious about the content that may be found on the bio(information-wise or just a update along the way), usually have good reason for it being there. Save peoples eyes and all so they don't later bitch about it.

"Gosh... They sure look heavy. Though the image of you capsizing is a pretty funny one. I would wear antlers, but if I wanted to have my feathers back, I'd need to sit down and use magic, and if I did that my fur's colours would disappear, then I'd have to find the Twin Gods and get the colours back. So just wearing feathers all the time is much easier. You'd probably look... interesting in feathers."
