When you are a stag (Male) you wear antlers. When you are a Non-Stag (Female) You wear either those leaves as antlers or put flowers on your antlers or wear those teeny tiny antlers. Because People might mistake you for a Stag if you dont.

actually, people can wear whatever they like~

my stag Rosine wears the butterfly antlers, and usually does wear those.
likewise my friend's doe Jorogumo wears the big white antlers.

there's no rule about which antlers each gender wears~

Besides, In Real Life there

Besides, In Real Life there are deer where the females also have antlers. Most common example is Reindeer, also known as caribou. The females also have antlers. (So Santa's eight tiny reindeer might be female or a mix. lmbo :- P )

But In Game people do like to use Noh / Butterfly / Feather antlers to try and make their deer look more feminine.

Edit:
Not to mention The Endless Forest deer are not REAL deer. So who's to say that Endless Forest human faced deer's females can't have antlers? :- P

I've seen many antlered - does' but just because they have antlers doesn't mean they're male. Besides some deer are genderless and don't worry about genders.

Also here's a female antlered deer in real life:

And yes, I agree with the others, stags can wear flowers, but a lot of people wear the buterfly antlers or noh antlers to signify they're does. Auriea and Michael intended for this game to be genderless.

Actually, orginally the creators meant for them to be all stags. But a lot of people were so complaintive about it they changed it to 'deer'/'gendless' in the discription. :- P At least, if I understood it right.

There are actually several stags who wear the Noh antlers, and some who wear the feathers. Just the same, there are some female characters who wear antlers. Physical gender isn't really the main concern in TEF, just have fun! Smiling

Yep, it used to say "You are a stag." The sixth question on the FAQ actually talks about TEF and gender. But of course you can call your deer genderless, just like you can call them a doe. I've said my deer is "genderless" for about two years now, starting when the mates situation was really starting to kick up, to kind of signify that we are free of concerns and limitations related to gender -- we just want to enjoy the forest. =)
