If all goes well with Sluggs' Spelldata Saver, I'll be able to let Paavo grow up without losing either his or Kumiko's set. I have settled on a set for him; I was going to do the real deer but after Paavo spent some time with Magnet, I grew to like the golden pelt. I think it will fit him better more since he was going to be a king after all.

Needless to say, Paavo is reaching his adolescence. His antlers are starting to come in, his goatee is growing in nicely, his pelt is growing darker, and the pattern is starting to show. I picture him at being around 13 in human years and you may see a shift in his personality within the next few days.

I'll update his biography later (I'm going to lay down for a bit since I just got off of work) that will cover him growing up. He's still the same scared fawn that he was and still talks to Usko despite the fact that most people..Er...Deer...grow out of the 'imaginary friend' stage around this age. But he's going to be a bit more stubborn and hard-headed. His going to have that 'I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a teen' attitude. You know how it is...Trying to be independent while still being very dependent on others and acting mature even though he's still very immature.
