The Black Swan
The Black Swan is a keeper of time and Forest history; an ancient vessel created alongside the birth of The Endless Forest. She is rumored to appear as a wandering entity lurking within the deepest parts of the secluded birch, or haunting the
Crying Idol on even rarer occasions. Legend states that if one were to wander far enough, they may stumble upon a clearing in the woods, where all direction and sense of time are lost. Shrouded by a looming mist and dense forest, she appears waiting under the sliver of a new moon. Encounters with The Black Swan are said to be unnervingly surreal and fleeting, and are most of the time written off as just, perhaps, an unsettling dream.
Despite the years, however, after many generations of this story being passed, those who have been visited by The Black Swan all recall the same: facing a pupiless gaze, chilling, and dark; pools of black so bottomless and deep it trapped the light within them. Instead of a window to the soul, they were met with a mirror of the onlooker.
They saw only themselves.

The stag's ears perked a bit
No no, I am not. At least I don't believe I am.
He laughed again, before taking the hint of grazing and moving to the patch beside her. He flicked an ear when she mentioned spending time in a marsh, perhaps he would visit there sometime, if he could.
Tell me more about these marshes.
She paused, thinking hard,
At least, it felt like a long while...
I was always very uncomfortable with staying in a place for too long.
I moved quite a bit and left a lot behind me.
Staying with one herd seemed impossible so I just went about and left, always looking for something new and joining a herd elsewhere.
I eventually just ended up alone, and in the marsh.
I had the darkest nights there I've probably ever experienced.
Deer do not belong in wet, foggy marshes...
...I think I would like to sit. Care to join?
Her legs folded and tucked neatly under her and she sat with perfect posture; she was very careful and dainty with all that she did.
With everything.
...But I was okay in the end.
And I have no problem with being alone.
It felt like such a treat to tell a bit about herself.
At the same time, it made her nervous. How rare it was for anyone to sit down and just chat with her about her own self...
Ravyn was filled with stories, and so little did she tell them.
Have you been to many places, Pikku?
~~~
I'm still trying to get her past straightened out.
It's going to either take forever or never happen at all because there are so many things I want to tie in it's just impossible.
All I know is that Ravyn did travel a lot and her memory is fuzzy with some things and perfect with others.
/ Blah blah.
I hope my roleplaying is okay. (:
He began to picture in his
Indeed, I have been many places. When I was born I was beaten for my size and my fur became the color of my blood. That's why my skin is almost entirely scar tissue, and it's why I haven't taken off this mask since I stepped into the forest.
The stag took a breath and adjusted his position in the cool grass.
I fled my heard as soon as I could, forced to live alone, forced into adulthood.
I was never a fawn at heart, I couldn't be.
Since the day I left I spent my time running.
From my home, my herd, from myself.
I ran through places that were dry, and dusty.
Places that were hot and humid, cold, warm, wet, and dry.
I have seen things that you wouldn't believe.
I have been places most don't know exist.
He stopped again, sorrow filled his eyes. His glistening aqua iris deepened into a dark purple shade.
The stag shook his head slightly.
I never got to know anyone from my herd. I ran from them. I have spent my entire life running. Sure I'm big now, I can kick ass now, my muscles are frikin gigantic. I have fought for my life so often, I could kill a lion. But I don't. I wont be like them. They ruined me. Now I have to wear a mask to cover the scars upon my face. I will never go back to them. Not a soul in this forest has seen my face. No one.
Gently he placed his head upon her back and let out a long sigh. It felt good to get that out. Really good.
Tell me more about you. I need to know you better.

Lola: I'll reply tomorrow.
I'll reply tomorrow. <3
Kono:
Ephra made art for me a long time ago. She gave Ravyn the title The Black Swan and so I kept it ever since.
Oh I see, how awsome and
This is off topic: I once
I once told you about the 'Bio-mechanical' pelt that you said you didn't think you had ever seen. I came across a screenshot of it earlier so here you go: !
And this because it is love. You might have seen them, no idea :x
Holy crap, this looks
:
-kisses-
Lola: She shuddered at the
She shuddered at the thought of being beaten until her flesh and fur became red.
How mortifying... She said, disgust and anger welling up inside of her as he continued with his story about the herd.
She listened carefully, respectfully until he was completely finished.
Unlike you, I was never forced to be alone.
At least, by others I wasn't.
An appreciated silence fell upon the two. Sometimes, company is just enough.
The world is cruel, isn't it? She smiled, and leaned over to lick the side of his cheek.
But don't worry. The world outside of our own is dark and nature is merciless.
Because they aren't here, in this forest, the ones that abused you in the past are probably dead by now.
Ravyn shrugged. She is not a morbid creature, she just states the obvious in a very blunt and direct manner that is often misinterpreted as a lack of caring.
She was stating a fact that could be, or eventually will be.

Kono:
Thank you.
Starling:
Oh I've seen those before... They're pretty neat.
I don't think they're that pretty though, but just because they can't be worn anymore and were banned makes them all the more cool. You know? (:
Azura:
Thank you. I'm obsessed with CSS atm.
As for the description... I worked really hard on i.
Ravyn is very difficult to describe...
I still need to edit stuff.
Starling:
What...? Haha.
Jin:
How temping ~
He smiled when she licked his
Silence... He allowed it to fall upon the two but only for a few, short moments.
Ravyn, if I were to leave the forest today, what do you think would happen to me? And would you go with me? I just want to see if what you say is true, if they are... dead.
He shuddered with the term dead. He hated anything that had to do with dieing or pain.

could ask you for a major favor that involves temporarily (or permanently) playing a character? Nacadia is going to be giving birth sometime this week and i need someone to play her fawn. His name is Tungsten, like the element represented by the letter W on the periodic table.
"she is black as night, but in her heart there is light" working on a poem for you. xD
I wish I could make css like
Hey. The screenshots you gave
The screenshots you gave me were already really beautiful by themselves and I didn't really know what to do with them, so I just started photoshopping around and got carried away. It's sorta experimental and there isn't much left of the original images. I don't expect you to be too excited about it but anyway, but there you go:

With an exhale and a slight tilt of her head, she thought for a moment.
I guess it depends on where you go.
And no. I can't leave this forest, but I have confidence in the fact that most of them, if not all of them, are dead.
(I really wouldn't be able to. :/ I don't have that much time and I don't want to make other characters. I'm sorry.
And that sounds awesome...)
Auxentius-
Thank you. (:
Unplugged-
They are amazing. You even included the theory.
I love the distorted feel... <3
Azura:
Thank you so much.
I just edited it a bit and I'm kinda happy with the way it looks. (:
Nopje-

And I'm glad you love the CSS here. I put a lot of work into it. <3

I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love coming to Ravyn's biography.
I do it almost every time I'm in the forest and see her or even when I simply think of her- just to look at the amazing CSS and listen to some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. I love this.
Thank you for being an inspiration to me, Ravynn ♥
go for it
