Name: Amarynthia Elaphea (full name as a human...as a deer she does not actually remember her last name)
Nickname: Amary
Pronunciation: Amarynthia (ah-mah-RINTH-ee-ah), Amary (ah-MAR-ee)
Name origin: Named after an epithet of Artemis, goddess of the hunt and wild animals. The name comes from Amarynthus, a hunter, and is also a name of a flower that represents eternity, as it supposedly blooms forever.
pictogram: click
color: #9966cc

gender: female (doe)
S.O.: straight
age: young adult (she was in her early 20's as a human)
mate/status: single; has a crush

species: TEF deer/formerly human
main set: magpie pelt, butterfly mask, key antlers
appearance: She's a bit on the small side, though her antlers make her seem larger than she actually is. Her eyes are wide and expressive, and also purple, the color of amethyst. Her face is round and youthful.


likes: flowers, butterflies, birds and small animals, exploring, running, leaping and hopping, dancing, making new friends, rain, sunshine, fog (but she doesn't like some aspects of it), snow, giant mushrooms, nature walks
dislikes: being laughed at (unless it is in a playful manner, such as when acting silly), fighting/violence, being alone, not being able to understand something, when friends leave, being ignored, wolf howls, getting lost/being unable to see in the fog, having to choose between friends
fears:
-the wolf howls heard in the fog and some nights; when she hears howling, she will usually jump and cower, especially if it's louder/closer
-getting lost; she might sometimes get lost in the fog due to being unable to see very well, in this case she will likely call out in the hope of finding someone

family: no family in-forest
However, there are some that Amary feels especially close to and regards as family, although they are not actually related.
-"father": The Priest
-"mother": 21/Ephra
-"sister": Kaoori (through Kaoori, Wesker may be considered as sort of a "brother-in-law," and Takeshi as a sort of "nephew")
-"brother": Skeevah
-Darkweaver (Amary sees him as a family member, but not sure what exactly...maybe an "uncle" of sorts?)

acquaintances: (any might be potential friends) Roscoe, Shyla, Clavier, Masque, Mellion, Darcy, Lady Bones, Aeska, Isis, Ravyn, 88, Saosin, Raimundo, Lantern, Silence, Revtheyr, Sithrim, Apparanza, Fledermaus, Desamn, Tally, Ankoku, Sluggs, Pigwidgeon, Mystress, Toukan, Wesker, Jericho, Aleit
(I think I'm forgetting some)

friends
(in no particular order...let me know if I forget anyone)
Skeevah: Oldest and best friend; like a brother
Burrow: Good friend
Kaoori: best friend; like a sister
21: Distant friend; Amary looks up to and respects her, almost like a motherly figure
The Priest: good friend; sees him almost like a father; looks up to and respects him
Paralda: distant friend
Lord Byron: distant friend; almost-twin X3
Iendoe: good friend; Amary tends to feel a bit protective around her
Virgil: good friend; she looks up to and respects him, sees him almost like a protector and leader, she tends to feel compelled to follow him
Baal: distant friend
Steele: good friend
Bastilion: very good friend; crush
Darkweaver: great friend; she sort of looks up to him sometimes
Aegle: distant friend
Riptail: distant friend; Amary tends to feel protective around him
Iaurdagnire: friend
Cloud: distant friend
Vira: friend from fawnhood (doesn't see her much any more)
Laurette: new friend
Garth: new friend
Saiyko: new-ish friend
Oseaan: new friend
Amadahy: friend
Luis: good friend
Kita: new friend

looks up to: Virgil, 21, the Priest, Darkweaver (somewhat)
would like to befriend: everyone
especially.... Shyla, Clavier, Sithrim, Apparanza, Tally, Wesker, Kita
would like to meet: Amara, Loki, Lucien, Isabelline, Takeshi (and some others I'm forgetting)

special abilities: Amary seems to have some kind of healing ability. If she spends enough time with someone who is sick or injured, they may notice that their condition improves more quickly than normal. The difference, however, is not enough to be very noticeable and could easily be attributed to other things. Amary is not aware of this ability herself, and it is passive. It does not work on herself.
(This doesn't necessarily work on everyone, so if you have an injured/sick deer around Amary, they will only get better faster if you want them to...it's up to you how quickly you want your deer to improve. And, of course, it can't work for someone who doesn't know about this...)
((might get rid of this, I've almost forgotten about it))

favorite places:
the birch forest: This has been getting to be her favorite part of the forest lately. She likes the "jumping rocks", the birds, the blueberries, lying in the tall grass, playing in the larger trees, and the fact that it's almost always bright and sunny there.
flower fields: Amary loves flowers, and so she likes any flower field she can find in the forest. It doesn't matter which kind, although the purple ones are her favorites (she also likes the butterflies and fireflies).
the pond: There are usually a lot of deer by the pond, so it's a good place to meet friends.
the playground: she likes playing on/in the rocks






miscellaneous things
-Amary doesn't really have a concept of anything outside the forest. To her, the Endless Forest is the world. And she isn't aware of any creatures other than those residing in the forest. This makes those fleeting feelings of having once lived elsewhere, and even having once been something other than a deer, all the more perplexing for her. But, as previously mentioned, those feelings are quickly forgotten.
-Amary also doesn't really have a concept of anything from before the day she first appeared in the forest. She is aware that the forest has a long history that she wasn't around for, until recently, and she realizes she hasn't always existed, but it feels to her as if she's always been there. So it wouldn't really be accurate to say that she doesn't remember anything about her life before, since, in her mind, there is nothing to remember.
-Amary did have a "past life" of sorts. But it wouldn't be exactly accurate to say she was reborn. She was not actually born into the forest, and has no parents within the forest. She more-or-less just "appeared" in the forest as a fawn one day.
-I see Amary as sort of a "neutral" character. By which I mean she doesn't take sides. And she is willing to befriend anyone, regardless of their reputation. She does not believe in evil.
-I've been thinking her "purpose" in the forest is to try to unite everyone, "dark," "light," and everyone else. At least, that will, or might, eventually become her goal. But she still has some more growing to do before she realizes that disunity is an issue (although she is at least staring to see that everything isn't all perfect).
-Part of Amary's personality is based on how I played the game when I first started out, before I even considered creating an actual character. Some of her personality was inspired by stories and such that I read on this site about other people's characters.
