Biography

Raido’s motherland is Grey Forest. It was a foggy and rainy day (frankly speaking, it was usual forest weather) when a well-built baby deer was born to the family of young orange-colored doe Dollely and the owner of the huge red horns and plain gray fur - buck Raimo. Raido had rather vague memories of the first year of life: gray rainy sky and the lights on the horizon, the light streaks of algae on the river, jagged bare wood, coal-black silhouettes of deer running by, old willow tops, broken shards of marble slabs in the cemetery ruins, purple smoke, phantasmagoric visions in the frothy mess of clouds ... Passages arising from Raido’s memory and causing obscure associations - nothing more. Those who knew Raido that time would say that the baby deer turned out to be cute and happy – on the second day of his life he fell into the creek and sprained his left foot; he took this misfortune with the laughter reflecting that life is made not only of pleasant moments. Nasty rainy weather, cold wind, and a wet uncomfortable ground did not worry him much: Instead, he saw a small bug on the grass, explored fallen branches and shimmering drops; dark trees would turn into remote foggy cliffs; clouds would become unbeknown sky deer. It seemed that the real side of life didn’t exist for him – he lived on dreams and fantasies. He used to lay on the ground for a long time listening to the murmurs of running water and imagining that he was not a small deer but a huge and terrible beast with a wild growl that made all the other deer hide in the rocks and tangled woods. Then he grew crow wings and hopped off into the sky, dived into clouds, and fell on the ground like a burning star... Usually, at this moment a very tangible poke of hooves into a wet from dew flank returned dreaming Raido to a real world.
The tragedy had occurred on Raido’s seventh year of life (by human standards) during one of the forest abiogenesis. Raido’s family that was expecting an addition found a new refuge - a few fallen trees covered with branches and dry leaves with a pleasant spicy aroma. The birth was difficult, and Dollely, completely exhausted, was lying on a pile of soft moss; her sides billowed, and tears flowed from her eyes. Newborn little doe - a replica of mom – quietly squeaked aside. Meanwhile, the deer outside were running around like crazy bumping into each other, fountains of flowers were exploding, sparks were flying, earth was raging, air was filled with screams, creaking, and mooing. A black shadow - the forest Goddess - passed by followed by a multifaceted and multi-legged deer herd and a crawling on the ground bright fire bands that were leaving black notches on nearby trees. By chance, one of these bands hit exactly at Raido’s family shelter. Dry branches burned very quickly, and the moss unpleasantly smoked. Dollely could not even stand up - in vain Raimo pushed her toward the exit. The only thing he could was to throw frightened Raido and his little sister out of the shelter, then the whole house fell apart, and huge burning log crushed down on Raimo. Distraught Raido tried to pull his father out but only injured himself bumping into burning branches.
Deer left. Fire Celebration of Grey Forest ended. Everything ended.
Raido remembered nothing of what happened next. He went somewhere, fell, rose, and walked again holding a weak trembling sister. He had to find some milk for his sister, as she still could not eat grass due to her age. Raido felt nauseated, his face was disfigured, gray skin matted with blood and soot. He fell to the ground and lost consciousness. When he woke up, his sister was no longer breathing. He buried her along with the remains of his home on the gray meadow where grass didn’t grow. Alone he dug a shallow grave with his hoof. Now he was alone, alone in unknown real wood, with real, not imagined dangers. He had no strength to continue to laugh and live anymore. Raido just wanted to lie down and fall asleep so a nightmare could end in the morning; he wanted to wake up and run again down the trail to where a silver creek splashed and sparkled. But it was not a dream; it was so deeply hated by Raido reality.
All becomes forgotten with time. The burning memory stains fall out like autumn leaves. A few years later Raido again is able to see a sky deer, and solar circle becomes a glittering gold dandelion for him. But sometimes, when no one sees, Raido comes to the unremarkable meadow and stands for a long time looking at the gray scorched earth.
And then there was a war. The king of Grey Forest - a huge brown deer - has been killed together with his children. The throne has become empty, and numerous applicants for a throne have arranged bloody slaughter. Raido was at war. Was at war not because it was pleasant to it, and for the reason, that differently it was impossible. To destroy enemies that they have not destroyed you.
War is terrible. It is not romantic pictures of the snow-white deer running into a system of vile traitors. War is another. Some clans struggle with each other for the right to be called as the winner and, hence, good. These are the ruined lives, a stench over a battlefield, a feast a raven with blood-stained beaks, last groans twitching in agonal convulsions of a body.
So Raido have crippled the face.
The native land has ceased to be the native land and Raido has gone to wanderings together with nice young doe colled Noyka. He has met her in the field of fight. After that they long sat at a stream and washed out wounds, painting water in red colour. For that moment they had one war and one life.
Noyka has left him in five months after the end of war, looking on a coal-black deer with a beautiful pattern on his back. Raido's grey skin and its spoilt face could not compete to a fine gentle skin of a black deer.
Raido there was one and has fastened on the person a mask from a skull that more nobody saw his faces and has gone to a way,
to far The Endless Forest.

Character

Raido is absolutely extraordinary representatives of the deer; he is gifted with superior intelligence and ingenuity, restless character and enormous interest in how the life works.
Whatever is his occupation, Raido is constantly cognizing the world taking interest in lots of irrelevant and seemingly contradictory things. Their zest for life is expressed in realizable need to explore, constantly shifting from one task to another.
Something which is already known doesn’t attract his attention with the same power as unexplored things. At the worst Raido’s life is burdened with endless caravan of unaccomplished things and unrealized plans. Despite that, Raido as careless and cheerful personalities seldom hang their head and hope for better future and find their rest in fantasies, disputes and hobbies.
Interpersonal relations are the most difficult area in Raido’s life. In this area they often make fool of themselves and show others up demonstrating his own disrespect to generally-accepted conventionalities.
Raido is extremely independent deer who know the value of freedom, take his life as an adventure and have no fear before ups and downs; therefore stability of family relationships seems too scary to him. Being once heart broken he needs long time to lick their wounds and consequently lose their habitual trust to the world, get disbalanced.
Though in company Raido doesn’t try to raise someone’s interest, they quite often find himselves in the limelight. It happens because getting fascinated he involve others. He feel concerned with everything that happens in the company and therefore spare neither effort nor time to rattle up the people. Just not to get bored he is ready to participate in any even the most riskiest entertainment. But more often he smartly and spontaneously offer such entertainments himselves.
Raido is open in communication and keep up active most time, but every now and then he get thoughtful, absorbed in his own thoughts. He often speak up his mind, which by some deer considered as tactlessness, disrespect for fundamentals and authorities. In fact Raido is extremely democratic by his nature and therefore readily give the same freedom to others. It is natural for him to stand up for a person who turned to be in the minority in the argument and firmly advocate their interests as well as the right for own opinion. Raido is also ready to ardently advocate his own positions even those that conflict with all recognized authorities.
Raido bring endless joy of discoveries to other deer, the life with such a person is interesting, full of life and spontaneous energy of exploratory life pattern.

Appearance

Raido's appearance is unequivocally far from an ideal. His face is covered by the terrible scars, one cheek is broken off, baring a teeth and red gums, because of his face seems motionless and unemotional, only very terrible and simultaneously unfortunate. Raido does not love the face, preferring to hide it behind a mask in front of which shine amber light of his eye - cheerful, fervent and ridiculous, sparkling pleasure and kindness. Unfortunately, other deer first of all notice the broken off cheek, and already then eyes. Raido’s body is strong, brawny, lean, covered with dense grey wool. Breast, stomach and the bottom part of a tail are white and fluffy. Dark feet and dark stain on a skin particularly stand out. Horns are big, red, covered with small thorns on external edge.
