He spent his youth hidden in the Forest's darkest corners, afraid not of other deer but of the mysterious happenings that sometimes occur when the Twin Gods are about.

He is patient, and takes his time in traveling from place to place in the Forest. He enjoys slow walks with others, and sitting near the Old Oak and on the bridge, listening to the music of the water and the trees. He tolerates and is sometimes amused by the antics of fawns, but does not join them in their games. He has a special fondness for nameless deer, having been one himself for so long. is distinguished from other deer by his shaggy chest and large, blue antlers. He usually wears the peacock mask, for he likes the way it matches his antlers and finds that it shades his eyes from the sun very well. |
|  , or Cricket, is an eccentric deer who is usually found in mushroom circles. She prefers prancing to walking, and when she walks it is often backwards. She loves spells, and will go out of her way to cast them and receive them. For this reason, she rarely maintains any consistent appearance.

She delights in doing things that make other deer tilt their heads in confusion, such as moonwalking and tree-sitting. Though she loves a good play fight, she has yet to find a reason to be angry at any other deer. is quite friendly, but she is also fairly unpredictable, and may wander away from a conversation or a dance without warning to go lie in the sun. |
