Just a spontaneous thought.

I'd like to hear obscure facts about people's characters. Silly little things you wouldn't generally put on their bio. They're fun, imo...add some life. So please, share away.

For example:


-Brighteyes can't whistle- not properly, anyway. The scars on his lips hinder him. If he tries to mimic bird sounds at all, it's in fairly grotesque and inventive ways.

-He hates chocolate. It's a texture thing.

-This one is actually a little embarrassing. He loves hair...pretty much everyone he's close to has had their hair done by him at least once.

-He has a lot of trouble saying 'squirrel'. 'Plushrat' is the alternative word he's adopted from Jack.

-He has a thing for using the gash through his cheek in weird ways to get a reaction. This involves letting his tongue hang out it and eating/showing teeth through it.

Terafawn is prone to 'puddling' if scared or surprised; it momentarily looses control of itself and melts. It's rather embarrassed of this and depending on who sees it, will likely slither away or glare at them from the ground.

Aaron can't raise his voice

Aaron can't raise his voice very high. He tends to lose his voice if he does and will cough and wheeze for awhile.

After passing out from his narcolepsy condition, he has a hard time waking up. He'll wake up, but his head will shake and he can't talk for a few minutes. He's very wobbly and can't move very much either. Think like a newborn fawn.

His mohawk tends to fluff up or bristle when he gets angry or annoyed, like the tail on a cat.

He loves pretty things, like flowers and shiny, colorful stones. It's an easy way to win him over if you present him with a present of those.

88's mask changes expressions with how she feels. However, it's mouth never opens.

Her feathers perk and droop depending on her current emotion.

She likes to chase frogs and stomp on them. Gets annoyed when they magically disappear.

Sonne:

-Loves sunspots and any place warm and bright. Has since she was a fawn.

-Fascinated by plants, how they grow and change through the seasons. Can sometimes be found watering the saplings near the Crying Idol when she's bored using her mask or fedora.

-Gets her hair done by the sexiest bird alive once a week at leas. It can be found in a variety of different styles; tied up, braided, pigtails, whatever.

- Has trouble screaming or singing in a pitch much higher than her own. Her voice cracks or is lost entirely.

- Despite her innocent appearance, she has a very active...'personal' life 8|

- Was 'raised' mostly by males and is still discovering things about being female. She tends not to get along with them or bond with them as closely because of this. Still yearns for a female role model.

- Sonne isn't embarrassed or ashamed of much...except a cluster of self-inflicted scars she keeps concealed. Can you guess where?~ Is usually very messy and dissheveled in appearance, and doesn't seem to mmind until she realizes how it could come off to others. Deep down, she desires to be pretty...and, well, 'desirable.

- I'll...think of more later XD For my other characters too~

Cherise will do her best to hide it, but she was born with olfactory failure. She'll pretend to smell, as long as she can help it. The fancy term for her condition is congenital anosmia.

-His jaw does'nt move when he talks,since his skull is his actual face.Instead his voice emanates through it deep and raspy.

..Thats all I can think of for now,hehe.

-Sini's favorite color is pink. When she sees her reflection she squeals like a little girl and bounces around like an idiot.

Ama carves things. Beads,

Ama carves things. Beads, trinkets, etc--she loves working with her hands when she's human, or with whatever she can as a deer.

Ama's feathers regrow very quickly. How many she has remaining on her head at any point in time is an indicator of how high her stress level is--the fewer the feathers, the higher her stress, up until they all fall out.

Ama's family shares two common traits--blue eyes and a crow theme.

Ama can speak very formally or informally--it varies on her company.

Ama is a voyager, like the rest of her family--meaning they can leave the forest at will. Ama uses it to bring back things and to escape, Keme uses it to gather herbs (via Barty) and Inola uses it to leave and be able to craft things.

Poppies have a soporific effect on Quill. Just smelling them is enough to calm her or even put her in a trance.

Time moves strangely in the forest for Quill. If she's outside it, years could pass in the forest in an instant and vice versa.

Inola makes things for those she loves. She is surprisingly adept at crafting all manner of things.

Keme is an excellent hunter. He can kills squirrels especially well, though he doesn't eat them.

The thickness of feathers in Ama's crest has increased over the years. She began with very few.

The scars Ama has gained from the forest transfer over to her human form.

Ama made the mask she wears. Her first one, the one she had when she grew up, she gave to the Collector.

Ambrose: -Borderline OCD

Ambrose:

-Borderline OCD when it comes to cleanliness. He gets really fidgety if he's kept from bathing too long after noticing a stain on his coat or something. He also hates how easily the skin around his eyes stains from using dyes and face paints so often and may hide his face with his hair more than usual when not wearing 'makeup'.
-He's made it a bit of a habit to watch frogs and hop after them when he thinks no one is looking.
-Really doesn't enjoy hot weather because of his thick coat, and feels like he needs to bathe more than usual during warm days.
-He sometimes forgets how blind he really is and gets really embarrassed if he runs into a tree or trips over a log or something. Which happens more often than he'd like to admit.
-Oblivious to gender confusion regarding his appearance. Even if someone pointed out how effeminate he is, he wouldn't get what the big deal was.


Candlewick:

-Very good at acquiring information from various sources, which more often than not remain a secret. :I
-Almost hypersensitive to touch, which only goes toward his dislike of personal space invasions.
-Though he speaks quietly, he hates when asked to repeat himself.

Tombur:

-Experiences chronic-but-mild pain in her shoulders. Some days the pain is worse than others.
-Really can't stand offensive smells
-She's terrified of bees, but loves honey and may try to make someone else raid a hive for her while she stands a safe distance away.
-Every single bead or trinket in her mane holds some story. If she can't remember where or how she got it, she makes something up.
-If someone asks too many questions about her past or personal life, she has a tendency to tell ridiculous things to see if they're taken seriously.


That's all I can think of at the moment 8I

Alright! Here's where Moss's

Alright! Here's where Moss's IC traits come in.


-He likes to talk to the Crying Idol. Moss will not do this with any other idol in the forest, not even the Gods Statues. He might sit for hours talking to it about nothing in particular.

-His mask SMILES instead of looking grumpy like the normal Antelope mask. This is so he can have a permanent smile even when his cheeks hurt from smiling normally.

-Thinks frowning will make him sick, but it's really being sad that makes him sick.

-Will often get mad at ME for telling him what to do. Pretty much allows me to enjoy HIS world, and will let me know that he is the one in control of any situation if I try to pour too many of my feelings into the situation. Keeps me in check for that forest guideline.

-Sometimes he wants to be a girl. o.o This is a new development for him. I think he just wants to emulate me sometimes... or maybe he just wants to be pretty? I have no clue. It's really funny though.

Alright~ Jack: He is usually

Alright~

Jack:
He is usually a fast learner, able to addapt new situations and other stuff rather quickly, but he never had learned how to drive a car, and never will be able to.

He wanted to be a pilot, but failed the test. (Big machines are propably not his thing...) still he has a secret fascination for flying/avian things/creatures. This is also the reason for his love to air-racing.

He loves to read books, but wasn't able to do so for years now.

He can't stand the smell of lavender, reminding him of his grandmother and the time he had to spend there as a child.

DeerJack doesn't like to sleep/lay in blueberry patches because they stain his fur. Plus he hates the taste of those.

He would never admit, but he is very proud of his buttfloof. Very.


Jane:

Has an obsession for dresses, tends to drag Jack from shop window to shop window when she spots something. Gurly~

At the same time she would feel uneasy to wear one of these. In general she prefares to 'hide' her shape with wide, often boyish clothes.

Awkward around children/smaller beeings. Always has the fear of accidentially break them due to her clumsyness.

She feels responsible for Jack's 'looks'... that means... she uses her abilities to form blades to cut his hair, give him a shave, etc. no matter if he approves or not.

-Tremors and goes into a kind of paralysis when frightened.

And more for B
_____________
-Guns were a hobby of his; would probably love to talk about them if he could find a stable state of mind.

-Is a very adept swimmer. Would spend most of his time underwater if he could.

-Hates to eat plant matter in general. Poppies are the only exception.

-His entire body is well groomed, with the exception being the hair on his head. Doing his hair is simply too normal for him now.

Starling has a somewhat "split-personality" ; but it's more like major frequent mood swings, or the fact that she is highly influenced by others and their personality's.
Either way she's always changing. It's probably her jealousy that can cause her to turn from that sweet bouncy deer to a complete bitch lol

I love how deeply people in this blog think abot their characters.. specially you, Cicadia. For some reason i struggle with thinking about the details of a character, unless i relate them to myself, which nearly always happens anyway... Ha :I
WhiteWarlord's picture

Oo, I'll write a lot so I can

Oo, I'll write a lot so I can use them in my bio later perhaps ;3;

Alabaster:
  • Cannot sing, dance, or do pretty much anything considered artistic. He is talentless in those respects.
  • Because he is talentless artistically, he finds people with singing or dancing talents repulsive, probably out of jealousy.
  • Despite being able to speak German and English fluently and his father having one, Alabaster has next to no recognizable accents.
  • Obsessed with birds, dead or alive. Sometimes he will enjoy watching them, someones killing ground birds just to get a closer look at them.
  • Never bows in greeting. Never bowed at all actually.
  • Has a small appetite, eats little and often (omnivorous diet) despite being rather large.
  • Was brown as a fawn, turned blond/cream.
  • Surprisingly, a twin.
  • Racist to skull-faced or masked deers, presumes them all to be evil or "tricksy".
  • Absolutely despises physical contact not initiated by him, even from his own father.
  • Often corrals other deer to do his bidding through either threats or soft charming. As a fawn he was very violent, as an adult he prefers not to touch anyone, violently or not.
  • Excluding Ausar, whom he bites frequently.
  • Hes probably going to die a virgin hohohoho.
  • Magic frightens him a little, one of the only things that makes him uncomfortable.

Ausar:
  • Although heavily German, Ausar is descendant from Egyptian blood, hence the name.
  • Has a stronger German accent and prefers to speak it over English. Alabaster and he often talk exclusively in German to each other.
  • Was also brown as a fawn, but lightened with age.
  • Covered in neck and shoulder scars from Alabasters fits of temper.
  • Placid to almost everyone, the most monstrous deer could approach and Ausar would do his best to be polite.
  • An infectious laugher, he finds humor in many things and uses it to dissolve tensions.
  • Found his soul mate in Skye, Alabasters mother, although he'd probably be capable of loving another again, he refrains from becoming close to anyone because of his son.
  • Whom I might add, he whole-heartedly adores, despite his very very obvious flaws and acidic personality.
  • A larger appetite, and a slower system. Adores napping in warm places after a good meal.

Oh yeah...I was going to do this. Probably shouldn't start to do this now...Oh well..waited long enough.


Akhenaton

• Can't swim to save his life. He hates being in water, but absolutely loves to look at it.
• Hates ships. Absolutely cannot stand them.
• A busy body. He has to constantly have something to do or else will grow hopelessly bored.
• Not artistically talented. Never learned any sort of craft, wishes that he did. Somewhat envious of those with hobbies.
• As a result of constant boredom, the guy will preen his feathers. Tends to preen others with feathers too. Lacks the ability to groom fur because of his beak.
• Likes butterflies; they remind him of his mate, but he finds them beautiful too.
• Prefers to be in female company over a male's. Could be considered somewhat clingy.
• If he was still human he would probably take up a craft that involved working with his hands, such as sculpting or making sculptures or whatnot out of wood.
• "Two of a feather flock together". Attracted to other owl deer. Almost has a herding instinct toward them. Extends to bird deer too.
• Enjoys books, but has very little knowledge of how to read English. Would probably read more if presented with the opportunity.
• His favorite color is orange. Go figure. Sticking out tongue
• Accent switches on and off at will. Only has one when he is speaking his native tongue or butchering Latin.
• Loves birds, horses, dogs and camels. Does not necessarily like cats, even though his culture says he should.
• Never had a stable family. Envious of those who do or did. Sets himself to incredibly high standards to not fail his own.
• Has never owned anything of significance. Cherishes what he does have as a result.
• Loves stars even though he can't see the night sky very well.
• Hates eating the koi from the pond, as he finds them incredibly peaceful. Will eat them only when he has to.
• Enjoys sunning, sleeping and just resting in the sun patches in the forest.
• The hill by the Blue Bowl is his favorite place to be. Loves how he can see most the forest from that spot.


Zash

• Emotionally unstable.
• Somewhat of a hoarder. Owns random stuff that doesn't seem to have any significance or value.
• Loves his books and journals. Loves information regarding history. Any sort of history.
• Is uncomfortable with how others view him. Does his best to not show it. Seems overly outgoing as a result.
• Finds bird chatter annoying. Along with loud fawns or deer. Will avoid at most costs.
• Resents and disowned his father.
• Will give "pet names" to just about everyone he knows. Eventually replaces their names with the pet names.
• Somewhat of a smartass.
• His favorite color is olive green.
• Has a weird way of teaching. Tries to make others realize their mistakes on their own.
• Incredibly patient in most instances. Only loses his cool when ill or startled.
• Cannot dance, bow or do most of the in game actions. He may do a half bow, but that is the most he can accomplish. Cannot run either.
• Stubborn when he wants to be.
• Envious of blue eyes. Was a brown eyed blonde in his human life. Wished he had blue eyes.
• If allowed to, he would become addicted to alcohol. Can't because of the lack of alcohol in the forest and his fear of becoming his father.
• Scared of fog and thunderstorms.
• A conflicted individual.
• Wishes he was born in an earlier era. Loves to know about others pasts.
• Asks a lot of questions.

Might put Ranore and Kaye up sometime. I feel I've rambled enough.

Hmm. Not gonna say anything about my usual characters till I know what they're gonna do, and Paola isn't born or developed yet. Jasta is new, so maybe I'll do one for her.


Jasta can't sing, or so everyone thinks. The truth is, she's terrified to sing in front of others. She actually loves to sing, and is actually very good at it. She sings to herself when she's alone and stops at the slight little ruffle of a leave or snap of a twig - even if it's just from a bird or the wind.

This is such a cute thread,

This is such a cute thread, wish I'd seen it sooner!

- Although Dag is known to be a gentle giant, he does, in fact, quite like testing his strength and destroying things. Felling small dead trees, smashing things with his antlers... all in the privacy of ones own company of course, for such primeval activities.

- He once met the duck at the pond and had to suffer a long rant about the poor quality of the water. It is then Dag realised that the reason the duck is never seen and always heard is because the mallard's complaints are so relentless, that the forest has evolved to simply ignore his existance entirely by instinct.

- A very low vocal range means that he is actually quite good at singing, not that you will ever get him to demonstrate.
Momochi's picture

You know, I was thinking

You know, I was thinking about this topic just the other day...Glad you've revived it cx I've got some things to add/update~

Ambrose:
-Always had a thing for eating flowers. Loves their aroma, flavors, and their effects on the mind. His absolute favorite are roses, mostly because of their supposed rarity in the Forest and because he finds them simply intoxicating.
-In his dreams and nightmares, he actually takes on his human form. Of course he doesn't realize this as he hardly remembers anything once he wakes up.
-As a human, he would wear very strong prescription glasses. Probably with big hipster frames. He would also be very involved in dance lessons and possible recitals.

Fen:
-Has an unhealthy addiction to junk food and tries to stash it away when he can, though this stash vanishes more quickly than he'd like to admit.
-The less he eats, the more emaciated he becomes, and the less humanlike/more disturbing/grotesque he appears. His weight tends to fluctuate within a short range of time depending on his diet.
-He's honestly a bit of a masochist.
-He'll flirt with literally almost anyone once he's comfortable enough around them, even if he's pretty much never serious about it.
-However he does feel weird about flirting with anyone until he's seen their human face. Because, y'know...he's not into weird deer-creatures haha.

Aaaand das it; I can't think of any more right now. :T I know there should be a lot more for Fen but blaaah I'm blank.

FEATHERRS. Pica would hoard

FEATHERRS. Pica would hoard every one of them if she could find that many.
