She is not from here-that much is clear. Indeed, though the fawn carries various similarities to a cervine, she bears almost no resemblance to her fellow fawns beyond basic anatomical structure. The vast majority of her body is cloaked in a deep maroon shade, not very different from a bloodied pallor. This shade darkens on the upper part of her legs, ultimately leaving her two front hooves untouched by it. They themselves are a of a pearly white color, a stark contrast to her hind legs, whose hooves seem almost inter-joined with this maroon hue.

Her hindquarters, the base of her chin, and the backs of her ears are all marked by distinct "striped" patterns-more reminiscent of the products of whips than any normal striping. Yet normal they seem indeed, being of a lighter reddish hue then her base color. The inside of her ears also share this pallor.

She sports a long and wispy tail, so unlike the many other inhabitants of this forest. The base is of a color similar to her "stripes", eventually giving way to pure white. Perhaps the most noticeable are the white blotches that dot her neck, upper legs, and chest. Large and vastly uneven, they seem to counter the vast array of reds that would otherwise dominate the little creature.

Her eyes, however, are perhaps the most enigmatic feature of this rather strange little fawn. They bear an extremely light shade of what can called amber, or gray-in all honestly, it is nearly impossible to put a label on the specific shade. No matter what her current mood, they seem to carry an almost lifeless look about them, never changing much at all.

The fawn also carries a pair of fangs. Scarcely noticeable when she first entered the forest, they have grown to a considerable length. They are made for slicing rather than gripping-indeed, while perhaps not the most durable, they are extremely sharp and geared toward drawing blood. In addition, they are coated with a layer of some sort of psychic energy (see "Apotheosis' section.)

Protective-Enamored-Intrigued
Emotional-Calculating-Manipulative?
Obsessive-Hypocritical-Reckless-Rowdy

A creature of pseudo-crimson and unfocused eyes trying ever so desperately to spark with life. A small thing that, despite its age, carries itself with a certain recklessness that implies greater dangers. She is certainly an enigma, her very existence here tied to a series of events that made and broke her simultaneously. But that is that a story for a another time.

It would not be a farce to claim that there is more to the fawn that meets the eye. Initially a relatively normal yet pesky presence, she is host to a power that not even she is fully aware of. Or perhaps she is, and just views it as normal. No one can really say.

Within her first few days of arrival, it became clear that at least of a section of her behavior was underlined by a series of emotional issues. This, perhaps, can be attributed to the power she holds, as well as her experiences in the forest. It is impossible to tell when and how her mood will fluctuate-but when it does, it does so quickly and sharply. She could be in a playful mood one moment, and a fatigued one the next. Or perhaps, less innocently, she can go from harmless to violent. Indeed, the fawn does not consider herself a pushover, and will not and has never stood for perceived threats against her or the ones she considers valuable. She need not attack you-if she does not like what you are going, you /will/ know. That is certain.

In the past, Wisteria tended to be a lot more reckless-and while she certainly maintains a degree of this recklessness, a number of events had caused her to realize a certain few truths around the world around her as well as her place in it. Originally, it would not have been above her to leap into a hopeless fight simply because she was angry. However, her involvement in a large scale fight concerning an attack on a friend of hers resulted in severe injuries which took some time to heal. While she recovered physically, she had quite a few mental realizations to face-she was a small if rowdy creature in an impossibly large world. Despite all of her willpower, the fawn has begun to realize that emotion, though a powerful tool, can only take one so far in a fight.

Indeed, much of Wisteria`s development seems to center around her ability to fight. She is constantly concerned with becoming stronger and being able to protect herself and her family. This may be have preceded with an almost morbid fascination with conflict-should a fight ever occur in the forest, she may not be found very far away. She has always been intrigued and even excited by the instance of conflict, though to say that she wishes injury upon others would be a lie. She is more interested by the fight itself then its outcomes, and does not wish ill fate on anyone unless she feels they have wronged her.

It is somewhat difficult to determine the origin of her will to become stronger in this cruel world, though is it highly likely to have something to do-at least partially-with her past. However, it is noticeable that this need is highlighted by a more prominent, if subtle, one-her connections with those with whom she shares this forest. Wisteria is a definite extrovert, thriving of the company of friends, family, and strangers alike. The baseline of her very persona is underlined by a intense and childlike curiosity about the world around her. She is almost needy in her quest for social interaction, and periods of time without it have the potential to cause her mood to fluctuate. Being exposed to too much social interaction, however, can occasionally cause a "sensory overload" of sorts, which seems to cause fatigue. This is more prominent around strangers, however, and does not seem to manifest with family or friends.

Of course, being exposed to so many deer leads in turn to an exposure of different morals and viewpoints on the world. Unfortunately, her transition from a world of black and white to one of varied grays began with the observation of death. Soon after her arrival into the forest, she became somewhat friendly with the yokai Rin. However, a series of events led Rin to be targeted and murdered-quite a few times. She was present for more than one of the yokai`s deaths-as well as regenerations-and even witnessed her massacred and eviscerated by a mob of hostile deer (though a combination of both age and psychic compartmentalization lessened the traumatic impact that the event would normally have). Initially confused and enraged as to why Rin-who had been friendly to her-was being attacked like this, a few conversations forced her to face the fact that things were not as clear as they seemed. Indeed, she is now beginning to look at the "bigger picture", though the transition will likely be a long and emotional one.

She knows no fear. Indeed, it appears as if Wisteria is either incapable or simply has not yet experienced the notion of fear. Her decisions are based on common sense and advice, but never fear. Despite being such an emotional creature, she has never once uttered an expression of fear nor never acted upon it. She has perhaps panicked and eyed warily the sights of others a few times, but never has this culminated to an outburst of actual terror. Whether or not she is truly capable of feeling fear remains to be seen.

She might be more intelligent than she seems. Despite being of a rowdiness with the potential to make others around her sigh and worry, some of her actions imply a degree of higher thought. She has exhibited leadership-esque qualities on a small scale, and has demonstrated the ability to formulate plans, simple as they may be. She seems to possess some degree of manipulation, and may very well be aware of it. Of course, there`s still a lot of room for growth.

Family is held to the utmost importance, and friends are taken into consideration as well. Those that are kind to her are generally considered "good" regardless of their true nature. Indeed, the need for a family-a place to return home to-seems to lie at the crux of Wisteria`s heart. Despite her somewhat violent tendencies, Wisteria would never wish harm upon those she truly cared about. When she bonds, she bonds rather quickly-and those that manage to get close to her share bonds that she views as kindred. Perhaps this ties into her past, where things were very different. Regardless, she has now been given a second chance, and has certainly seized upon it. Despite the confusion and harshness that comes with a new and massive world, Wisteria has always been certain in the very core of the path she has taken-and as long as it brings her back to the ones she cares about, she certainly couldn`t have been wrong.

Some quirks and stuff:

- Usually greets and leaves someone with a sniff and/or a nod. Has never really used a bow to greet someone else; is amused by the action, really. Thus, sometimes bows just to humor herself.
- Generally likes to nod and/or sniff someone before they do her. Tends to get a bit annoyed when they act first; doesn`t usually act upon her annoyance, however. It`s not really worth it.
- Patience for those who scare easily varies. It`s one thing if she did something to scare someone, it`s another thing if they`re frightened out of seemingly nowhere. Tends to tolerate it for a short span of time, but quickly becomes annoyed if it`s prolonged. Or vice versa. Tries to understand the whole situation, but in the end, it all depends on how she`s feeling at the moment.
- Wears an expression similar to B) 85% of the time.
- An eye for an eye? To some extent, perhaps. If she feels she has wronged someone, or done something to spook them, she`ll often attempt to "repay" them in some way. This might include brief, if profuse, apologies. If she has accidentally injured sometime, she`ll go as far as to allow them to hurt her in return-nothing major, of course. This quality of hers does have a limit, however. Not one to go on making herself out to be a fool by lagging after the one she wronged and begging for forgiveness. If they don't accept her apology, then so be it. Generally likes to have things clear and settled, but only has so much time and so much patience.
- Once a score is settled, it`s settled. Usually. Considers those that repeatedly antagonize others even after several battles to be anathema.
- Has, and most likely never will, judge based on appearances. Due to her psychic abilities, however, she can pick up on certain types of energy, such as light or demonic energy. The extent to which she can varies-sometimes the pickup is slight, sometimes not. Usually doesn't bother to differentiate them, though those that are host to certain types can make her cautious. Might hesitate to approach certain deer because of this.
-Seems to be getting better at picking up on the "atmosphere" of a situation, so to say. Quickly able to detect someone's emotional status, as well as a change in their demeanor, when it would have taken her a longer time to before.
-Has an indisputable taste for adventure. Often has trouble staying in one place for a long time. May wander off even in the presence of family or friends. Assumes that they know she'll eventually come back.

"Meena"- Treasured. Appears when no one else does. Hasn't appeared in a while, however...



Liltu: Serendipitous. Adopted mother. It was by chance that they met, with the young fawn taking it upon herself to sit near the purple creature. It was not long before the fawn was introduced to--and eventually integrated into--Liltu's family. A source of reassurance and kindredship. Sometimes bickers with the doe over the extent of the "independence" she has been granted. Despite repeated claims that Liltu need not worry about her, she feels safer in her presence, though she herself might not admit it. Has come to view as both intelligent and admirable.

Meao: Met through Liltu. Adopted father. Initially didn`t consider him to be a paternal figure, though that seems to be changing as of late. Prideful of the fact that he is so involved in taking care of his family, even if his overprotective tendencies are a bit annoying. Is actually somewhat amused by a few of his mannerisms. Feels safer with, though she probably won`t admit it.

Sammael: Rosaceae. Adopted sibling. Met through Liltu, and quickly grew close to, perhaps due to their close ages. Often bickers with him, as any sibling would, but usually does so lightheartedly. Aware of her ability to persuade him into doing certain things, and attempts to do so, though she would never really want to get him into danger. Though her criticism of some of his habits has led to a few scuffles in the past, she is beginning to realize that she can't really change the way he is. Partner in crime. Means more to her than she lets on.

Ruele: Inglenook. Adopted sibling. Connected with quite quickly, perhaps due to her relationship with Liltu and Sammael. Doesn't always see as often as she does the rest of the family, but cares for nonetheless. Glad that she seems a lot more willing to go on adventures than Sam.

Moloch: Adopted sibling. Cares for deeply, and would protect with her life. Proud of the fact that he seems protective of his other siblings, Valak in particular.

August: Adopted sibling. Cares for deeply, and would protect with her life.

Valak: Adopted sibling. Was initially a bit suspicious of him, given the circumstances of his birth, but that suspicion has since faded. Just as protective of him as she is of her other siblings, perhaps even more so because of his small size.


Sonali: Comfort. One of the first fawns her age that seemed to appeal to her. Drawn in by her welcoming and hyper nature. Her first real experience with friendship. Unaware of the fawn's demise.

Shahla: Becoming a more and more common sight. Doesn`t mind the striped doe`s company, and finds her to be friendly.

Shahla's fawns: Doesn't actually know all of them too well, but considers any fawn of Shahla's to be welcome.

Viktor: Amaranth. What was once a stalking object has turned into what can be called in acquaintanceship. Enjoys his company.

Jocelyn: Eccentricity. Linked to Viktor? Overwhelmed by her seemingly boundless energy, but other than that, she seems nice.

Solene: An acquaintance of sorts, met through Rin. Has come to realize that, after recent events, she is no pushover. Has gained respect for, and will probably approach more often.

Bonesis: Receptor. Perhaps her first real experience with something close to fear. Triggered the awakening of her powers to a certain extent. Intense curiosity. Not certain as to whether or not he`s actually dangerous.

Rin: Death. Was--and to some extent remains-a source of great confusion for Wisteria. Always took it for granted that the yokai was a friendly being, until she was attacked multiple times by various inhabitants of the forest. Was present for more than one of her deaths--as well as her rebirths. Bewildered by the sudden onslaught of attacks, the fawn initially came to believe that Rin did not deserve what was happening to her. Following a series of conversations with others, however, she was forced to realize that the world was not a black and white place.

Though ultimately unaware as to the full extent of Rin's story, she is nevertheless quite confident in her sympathy to her. Believes that, whatever she did, Rin got what she deserved upon her first "death", and should not be punished any further. Knows that the yokai's problems are pretty much her own, but longs to one day help her fight what seems to be a never-ending battle.



Nimh: A fawn about her age. Has played with the other many times, and appreciates her company. Finds her, in her kindness, to be quite different from the many other creatures of this forest.

Maica: A rather recent acquaintance; seems to be a companion of Viktor and Jocelyn. Mixed feelings on after a slight scuffle with him. Seems to act kindly toward her now? Somewhat annoyed with, but unlikely to provoke a fight with. Extremely unsure of, following recent events. Wants to know more about why he did what he did before anything else. Hasn't seen as of late.

Indigo: "Birdpaws." Lingering curiosity.

The "tree" group fawns: Newborn fawns of Halla and Cadaver; doesn`t know very well. It was after an attempt to meet them that it became clear that the fawns parents did not want them to be friendly with each other. Has no idea why, but is determined to meet them properly-if not to be their friends, then to spite the ones who keep them away.

Envy- A friend of Liltu`s? Has only known for a short time, but thinks he`s pretty cool. Also finds the way he can hold his own against larger deer to be admirable.

Mjolnor- An acquaintance, met during the Rut. Is convinced that she somehow manipulated Roanen into fighting Mjolnor, thereby earning the fawn some form of "payback" for past events. With that aside, thinks she`s pretty cool for having fought him. Respects, and will likely seek out.

Gyors- PURPY. A bit confused with his "sudden" mood swings. Doesn't mind having around--likes, even--but wishes he would make up his mind as to either or not he's afraid of her.

Hisoka: One of Rin's sons. He has spikes and that's really cool. Enjoys what appears to be his playful nature, and looks forward to teaching him stuff. Hasn't seen too much recently; feels bad about this. Adamant about not letting him meet the same fate(s) that his mother has.

Goro: Rin's other son. He has mega claws and that's really cool. Hasn't seen too much recently; feels about this. Is adamant about not letting meet the fate(s) that his mother has.



Halla: A member of the "tree" group. Attacked by whilst spying on her and her fawns. Is not aware of the reasons for the gray doe`s behavior, but realizes that the latter seems to dislike her greatly. The feeling is mutual, and will likely be infinitely.

"Eliju:" Has a sort of rivalry with the kitten. Disliked him from nearly the instant they met...for some reason. Doesn`t quite remember now, though she`ll probably tell anyone who asks that it`s because he`s annoying. Or something. Generally irritated by his presence, but probably won`t attack unless he gives her a reason to. Hasn`t seen in a awhile.

Pandora: Participated in a massive brawl against the doe after she witnessed her attacking Jocelyn. Was heavily injured in said battle. Will likely not approach under any circumstance. Whether she knows it not, the battle with Pandora actually served as a crucial point of development for the fawn, forcing her to acknowledge that she still had a long way to go before becoming strong enough to fight adequately, as well as inspiring her to do so.

Lats`vel: Watched him attack Rin and Solene. Would take a lot for her to ever approach him willingly.

Salem = "Shady guy." Sam's friend? Has said some rather mean spirited things about him, though said comments were mostly stated out of anger toward Sam. In actuality, she holds a pretty neutral opinion of him. For now, anyway.

Roanen?-
Acaji --

Her history is a long one, even if she herself did not live long enough to fully grasp this. Her new life in the forest brings with it a vast array of memories, currently lying dormant within the recesses of her mind. She was of great power once, and difficult to define, and she has already paid the price for it.

Still, is it perhaps not impossible to infer that she is not as helpless as she seems...

Abilities

In her past life, Wisteria was a young yet powerful being, with her abilities defining her life from beginning to end. Currently, her powers have not fully manifested, but a few have made themselves known.

Physical growth- Wisteria`s body has traded size in favor of ability. She has a rather slow growth rate, having taken nearly two and a half months to grow from her original size. When these "growth spurts" do occur, however, they are often quick and painful.

Her fangs- Her primary form of defense, they would be nothing much to behold if they were not filled with an odd psychic energy. The energy "pools" within her fangs slowly, and is ejected into the target is a similar manner to which a venomous snake deploys its poison. This energy is not fully developed as of yet, and as of now is only capable of leaving a slight, irritating burning sensation at the spot in which it struck. This sensation will generally wear off in no more than a few hours.

Psionic blasts- A more "physical" manifestation of her powers, it has been seen only a few times during her short time in the forest. At their full power, these blasts are capable of causing a mental "overload" of sorts to the target`s mind, capable of stunning them and perhaps even more. Of course, this power too is has not fully manifested itself. At its current power, it might be able to cause someone who was holding onto her to loosen their grip.

Astral Projection- While she possesses this power, its details are currently both highly complex and still unclear. What can be confirmed is that the things she sees on her own astral plan tie heavily into her past.

Defense Mechanism- Not really an ability proper, though it certainly is notable. When in a situation where she might be threatened, her psychic energy concentrates itself within her. It can be said that this concentration mimics-or perhaps, even is a stand-in for-adrenaline. Though it helps her a small bit physically, it is most likely more effective in the mental realm, as the psychic concentration makes it somewhat more difficult to reach her mind. Nevertheless, skilled practitioners of mental abilities could probably still pierce this "veil", at least at this stage of her life.
A generally subconscious ability, Wisteria is not wholly aware of it yet.

Energy Detection (Note: This ability tends to fluctuate.)-Can generally pick up certain "energies", such as light and dark energy, but either doesn't know or care enough to differentiate them. The detection of these energies generally does not change her willingness to interact with its holder, though there have been a few exceptions in the past. Wisteria also seems to occasionally be able to pick up on the developing "energy" of fawns inside the womb of their mother, though she is generally not able to do so until they have developed significantly (i.e. mid-late second-third trimester).


"Weaving"- ???

Notes and such
-As her psychic abilities are of a wholly different tier than light and/or dark magic, she does not feel any affects other than those that would normally be afflicted upon her. (E.g., if sometime cast the devout spell on her, it would not injure her the way it might injure practitioners of dark magic.) Can generally detect certain "energies", such as light and dark energy, but doesn't really

Log (a record of her development)

7/29/14- Genesis; arrived in the forest, majority of powers dormant.
8/4/14-First met Liltu and the other members of her family.
8/5/14- One week after her arrival. Potential buildup has culminated in a slight "breach", triggered by a misunderstanding with a stranger. Defense mechanism close to being activated during an encounter with Bonesis. none of this is making sense
8/14-8/18-Became extremely scarce; what happened during this time period is unknown, though it is highly likely to have something to do with her powers. Returned on the 18th, with her fangs fully grown. A coating of energy is beginning to manifest within them.
8/20/14-Powers triggered during a large skirmish. Markings glowed for the first time; let loose a few loose psionic blasts, though they were not powerful enough to injure anyone. Passed out due to a combination of overexertion and injury soon after.
