Given to him by Junalia, wears it constantly around its neck and will never be seen without it. Necklace also holds a orange/buff feather from Akhenton and a few blue feathers from Kettu.
-If you see him at the twins he is ooc, I'm trying to get his pelt but acting like how he probably would. Please cast the devout pelt on him, my timing sucks ;;

Origin
Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.
--Theodore Roethke
The Twin Gods had been searching for something, something important. Something that would become them, spread their reaches further into the forest. Reveal the secrets like twisted roots sent deep underground and send them sprouting up fresh through new eyes. But who? Who would perpetuate the forest, make it better? Who indeed could see the leaves plump and full off sunlight? Who would rustle the bare branches in winter - or see too it that the forest creatures were taken care of?
After searching far and wide across their land, they scrabbled in the darkest places. Deep down under where the light never reaches and tomorrow never comes. They dredged the pond, sifting through old bones of those who'd given themselves willing or not. When they dug the dirt of the church yard and came up empty handed they cast their reach further. Stretched it beyond the borders. Always reaching. Always searching.
And then, when it seemed that the guardian must come from their own power, they found it. A soul so worn away it was only a flicker. And yet, somehow.... somehow it burned brighter then everything, brighter then anything. A desire to live, to please, to grow, to love and most of all....to mean something. A desire to leave a bit of it's own light on every one it touched. To keep them burning as bright as it did once. Oh how it longed for that. The Twins looked at each other and in the split second their eyes met they knew. They knew and they agreed.
And so a new light was brought into the forest. Shaped and spun from the leafy trees themselves. Molded by the smooth hands of water, dried from the hot breath of the untouched sun. Birthed from the stone that had born the tears of some old forgotten sorrow it finally came to be.

Links
If it weren't for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song.
--Carl Perkins
When a link is established the picto of a deer will appear engraved on his side. How long it takes to establish a link varies and in some cases those links fade.
Gotta re-write everything ahhhhhhhhh
Kettu (Little Fox): Complicated. A source of intense worry, fear and guilt. Loves deeply even so. Has disappeared suddenly a few times, lives in fear that one day she will not return. Inwardly quite jealous of her and the family that she's managed to find, worries about being replaced. Feels that it has failed her to a great extent. Completely lost without, she's its light in the dark. Beyond terrified of seeing her again and letting her see what he is now, also terrified by the fact the fox may not allow it back into her life after what its done. Pines for, misses a great deal. Holds a quiet belief that she's better off without it tying her down. Sunshine. gotta rewrite
Possible new songs: Chains - Radical Face, Reminder - Mumford & Sons, Ghost Towns - Radical Face, I Was Wrong - Oh Hellos
Akhenaton (The Bird): One of the few recurring faces in the Idol Spirit's life. A teacher and a listener, can tell him all its problems and be reassured. At one time thought that the bird might have been right saying that Ird had a purpose and was needed. Now quietly disagrees with what had been said. Sheltering wings, safety. Treasures their encounters. Scarce now. Gone? rewrite aaah
Odu (Tree): Has only meet once through Lilith but immediately felt an unbreakable connection towards. He's just like it, a being that carries many of the traits the Idol Spirit does. Represents a hope that there is something more that Ird can become. Admires. A bit envious of his size and apparent powers. Was approaching the point of regrowth when Ird met him, has since disappeared. Extremely worried about. Unaware of his 'rebirth'.
Lilith (Lil): Complicated. Initially started of on rocky grounds, namely because the blue giant disliked it. After numerous life-shaking events happened to both of them found common ground. Always liked, looks up to. Admired. Knows she's really actually pretty nice under all her coldness. Welcome source of company, can talk to her when no one else is around. Scared about her seeing it like this. rewriteeee
Possible songs: Touch - Sleeping At Last, Second Chances - Radical Face
Pretty Boy: Encountered when the small soul when he was first placed in the Forest by The Twins, coaxed the little thing out of some ferns and sat with. Met again sometime later when the fawn had grown to an adolescent. Adored the fellow but felt a high degree of jealously and internal bitterness towards too. Ird believes that he is its replacement, also thinks that this is for the best too. Gone.
Bo (The Angel): An angel of a different God, found her to be a kind and interesting being. Once felt a great deal of pity towards and anger against those that had burned her wings. Now holds a great bitterness towards, thinks she flew away and went back home. Envious at her ability to just leave whenever she wants to and resentful of the bond that her and the Twins seemed to share. Gone.
Yara (The Butter): Liked a great deal, found immeasurable similarities between them despite only meeting her twice. Thought that they'd finally found some one that wouldn't throw it away in the end. To a slight degree feels betrayed by, promised she'd visit and teach it to read. Never did. Gone. Missed. rewrite ahhh
Possible songs: Alone Together - FOB, Friendship To Last - Two Steps From Hell
Sen: 
?? IDK ABOUT YOU????? - gotta sorta rewrite
Vahni
Nilo
Caldia
Eloa
"Hommy"
Junalia (Smush Face): Junalia (Smush Face): Was once part of Ird's everything. Loved so much, cute chatterer. Was learning how to talk, first being to stay in its life longer than a day. Gentle and small. Saved from drowning once. Disappeared without warning after a conflict between her and some other individuals. Finally stopped waiting for her when showed up out of the blue again one day, was beyond scared of her for reasons it didn't completely know. Was told what had transpired in the time she was gone and then she promptly vanished again. Undoubtedly feels cheated out of the opportunity to watch her grow up and change. Heartache, bitterness, anger. Gone. Left a hole. Mourns.

Portrayal
Exuberant, Outgoing, AdventurousSurprisingly so
considering Its fear
of leaving the pond.
Will go anywhere and
do anything with
friends or without., Jubilant, Loyal, OddNot crazy, never the less probably one
of the oddest in the bunch., BitterExtremely so, this rose
about from its past and present.
Mostly concealed and easily
brought out of., Eager to PleaseWill do anything to keep itself
in good standing.
Much like a beaten but
still loyal dog in this
aspect., SelflessWill give
and give and
give until
there is
nothing left, NaiveBelieves in the inherent
goodness of everyone.
Posses the blind
unwavering trust
of a child for those
that treat it well., Curiosity
-Was intended to become a caretaker of the forest and to give the twins a visible indicator of how their forest was doing. Unfortunately Ird became completely terrified to journey beyond the pond and has never once set foot in any part of the forest except the Old Oak. This has severely impacted the amount it can do for the forest. The twins are starting to accept this.
-Self confidence is non existent, this shows through when ever the Idol spirit talks about itself or when it can not protect someone. Firm belief that it is a "bad seed" that comes from the past.
-Suffers from SAD (Separation Anxiety Disorder). Currently only seems to affect those that Ird rarely sees and cannot be counted on to return again. Experiences an array of symptoms including physical complaints. Maybe one of the reasons it refuses to leave the pond.
- Smarter than it looks and acts. May not understand everything but has a good perspective of the world and isn't afraid to use the knowledge it posses. Often surprisingly philosophical and word wise if gotten to calm down and concentrate
-Can tell when the feelings of those around him are forced. Dislikes people covering up their problems because they think it can not handle them. Surprisingly adept at finding fake smiles.
-Loves quickly and with absolutely everything it has. Even when they don't get any love back. Will give and give and give until there is nothing else.
-Skin cracks easily, more so when extremely upset. The grass and moss on its skin will wilt and turn brown when this happens. Likely to lose its flowers in these instances as well. Blood trails dry up in cases of extreme sadness, can not see very well at all until blood trails are restored by happiness.
-When startled will spit out great quantities of blood at attackers. Has the aim and accuracy of a lama, will aim for the eyes and face
Revtheyr extended his leg in
"Ird doesn't really know how
It watched the brown sway and dance around them for a little while, a big grin on its face. They moved so well, so gracefully. Ird tended to be a bit more jerky while dancing, not that that stopped it. Soon it was dancing around too humming a growing song under its breath.
Athena did not join the dance
