21 Profile

Ephra's picture
August 4, 2008 - 5:04am — Ephra







Introductions are probably unnecessary for someone like 21, a figure of the common folklore.

The Mother of the forest, the first female to walk among the stags, and a gentle guardian of the children and strangers to this world.

Her demeanour is generally friendly and accommodating; endlessly patient and boundlessly loving, tempered with a stubborn inquisitiveness and a certain degree of pride. A living archetype... mostly.

She is inexplicably distant at times and tends not to confide in others. Neither will she speak too much at once, especially about herself.

Strangest of all, she firmly refuses to take a lover or bear fawns of her own...

The childless Mother. A funny old spinster, 21.











Name •
She carries at least two: "21" being a colloquial transliteration of her pictogram, and her true name Ephra.


Age •
(Jan. 21, 2006)
At 4 real years of age, she may well be the oldest deer around. Besides the twin gods, anyway.


Appearance •
A regular white-tailed deer, brown and long-limbed.


Voice •
I think something like Tilda Swinton, who narrates throughout this music playlist. In text, a dull green.


Old Haunts •
A few of her favourite places.


More •
I’m not good at writing so if there's more you'd like to know, feel free to go a little deeper into the woods and leave a message for 21 herself.

Nice to meet you! It seems

Nice to meet you! It seems deer are more sociable some days than others, but I'm sure you'll find many friends here. You're welcome to come visit 21 again though, even if she is a bit groggy today. Smiling

Late, I know.

I just wanted to say sorry about Virgil's highly protective behavior as of late. Ever since the fawn incident he's felt he should try his best to protect and support Ephra through this time of trouble.
Just saying sorry because he might be getting a little bothersome. ^^;

That's alright, I think a resolution is on its way. Smiling The visitation from the gods was just what Ephra needed to get some sense knocked into her. She has decided to abstain from violence and will try to offer forgiveness and apologies to everyone that has been hurt. Although I don't know what to do about Baal yet!
I've got some drawing to do, haha.

Ephra is an alluring deer, one that Wyuka enjoys spending time with. I will certainly be searching for her pictogram whenever I open The Endless Forest and am connected.

When 21 is antlerless, and she gets hit with the devout pelt, it looks like she has pepperoni on her head.
I was so amused by this that I had to share it with you.

uh, quick question, how do you get her antlers like that? I mean, she is the only deer I have seen with ones like that, is it a glitch like thing or is it actual antler type? I would just like to know cuz I really like them...and so would my doe ^^;

They're a glitch, you won't

They're a glitch, you won't be able to have them cast on you. You will need to mess around with the files. xD

xD Ephra, you're talented at

xD Ephra, you're talented at file-messing! I myself have tried and failed a number of times to get rid of my antlers, but didn't succeed Laughing out loud I doubt I'd use them much anyway.
Also, I really should draw you some fanart! Shocked But my drawings skills really do fail, and I'm a procrastinator |D
n.n Taliene would like to thank Twenty-One for being nice to her yesterday with those fawns <3

July 1, 2009 - 10:05pm — Rutilus

Deleting the antlers file

Deleting the antlers file doesn't work :3 Only you can see the non-antlerness.

Hmmm. Changing the file...

I feel terrible for trying to figure out the secret, when I truly do feel that it should 'belong' to Twenty One xD; -shot- But ah well, I'm curious now!
Could notepad be somehow involved...? -thiiiiinks- There are several antler files, I'm not sure which one to edit...D:...Or how to edit it/what to change it to. FFFFF. -failure-

Oh, Ephra; a little fawn was playing with you and some others in the Playground a few days ago :3 She attacked a fawn that had been rearing at Ephra, then someone stepped inbetween. The fawn sat in a rock with only her pictogram showing and sulked Laughing out loud Then she came out.
That was my Nüwa :3 <3 Thankyou for spending time with her, and putting up with her!

It's fine, I just accidentally crashed my game, it wasn't because of Masque that I left. It's even kind of endearing.. and at least it's nice to know she's not on his bad side haha Laughing out loud

Of course not, he quite likes her actually. xD Only he's quite convinced that he's so unlikeable, she wouldn't want to meet him. That's why he only approaches when she's sleeping xD

I believe my deer Finn (skull mask, spotted real deer pelt, and poppies) met 21 a while back, but I forgot to comment on this. :>

21 was ever so nice to Finn, and even helped him get his pelt. He really enjoyed the walk and goofing off they did later, too. (:

I really they can see each other again, 'twas quite fun. c:

I loved those funny dance formations us and the group performed. Laughing out loud I guess somehow 21 ended up being unique because I was trying to make her so generic. Dunno what happened hehe.
