(Please ignore the random line thing in the middle. Photobucket being odd again, as is it's wont)

Liëka has had a very mixed life. I have pretty much no control over her character, she develops how she does, and I (the human) just let her and watch with interest.

Unfortunately, she met with great trauma after great trauma, until she couldn't take it any more, and she vanished into the Abyss and didn't come out for a very, very long time. I tried to coax her out, by attempting to play her in the Forest, but she could never be in anyone's company for very long, and usually logged out and vanished in a purple mist back unto the Abyss once more.

Which I thought was very sad, but could do nothing about, except stop trying and let her rest.

And now, I think it's time to try and bring her back. Please be kind to her, she is still very confused and unhappy. She doesn't want to be touched too much, and I know that a lot of people use a nuzzle as a greeting instead of a sniff as Liëka does, but she doesn't like it, and will back off. To her, a nuzzle is meant to be affectionate, and she is so careful with that now. So please, if you have read this, try to use it as only an affectionate thing to her, if you could. Also, if she suddenly runs off in the middle of something, or 'stalks' a few deer instead of plucking up the courage to join in, then please forgive her. This is a gradual process. She needs to build up to where she once was at her own gradual rate.

Finally, I would just like to re-state that this is not me 'playing' her. I didn't plan this. Liëka is the freest of all my characters, and has her own mind. Of course, I could 'play' her in a friendly way, it's only a matter of pushing the right buttons after all, but I would feel deeply uncomfortable with that, because it's not what she would do. It may sound strange to those who don't have that separation between themselves and their deer, but that's the way it is.

Thankyou, and I hope to see you in the Forest.
