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.

Mismatched, I figured your friend wanted to play-fight so I obliged. I thought it was cute, no harm done. Laughing out loud

+ a heads up to everyone, I'm doing some major housekeeping here so this page will probably be updated a few times today. If the new images don't show up you may have to clear your cache out.

Shadou sat with you/21 for a little bit today (At least I think so, you were a fawn on my screen.). I'm sorry that I left, my game was starting to freeze and lag.

Yo Sorry I wasn't around

Yo Cool Sorry I wasn't around during my break after all, there was something going on with my firewall not letting me run the program and I didn't figure out how to fix it until today. But it's great to see all you great deer around again, plus the gaggle of fawns that I somehow stumbled on right after I woke up. Sticking out tongue
