☀ Overall athletic structure, most notably her svelte long legs which carry her far and fast with minimal effort. Skin is taut over a lithe yet resilient frame. Long in body with somewhat sharp features. Lean but muscular. Structure and movement can at times be compared to that of certain breeds of equine.

☀Her base coat is black with the appearance of sun bleaching which gives it a purplish and sometimes reddish tint while being marked by a vibrant golden-auburn underside. Inherited two golden socks from her mother. Fur is over all fairly short and velvety to the touch while the longer fur beneath her throat, shoulders and chest are fine and silky.

☀The longer fur at her withers and nape of her neck act as permanent hackles. In a natural, relaxed state the fur here is soft and wispy but during moments of excitement or anger can stiffen and stand erect to make herself appear larger. Her tail is long and wispy, the fur hangs down more similar to a horse's tail than a deer. Bears heavy scarring at any given time, most fade with time though others have left their permanent impression on her.

☀Golden-amber eyes are vibrant and a stark contrast to her black face. Pupils are small and circular and carry a reddish tint with a black outline. Sclera is black. Very sharp vision with exceptionally good night vision.Right eye, though appears pupil-less, is not blind in any way. Is incredibly sensitive to light however but can see soul auras through it. A byproduct of having her own soul stolen, then recovered. Unfortunately also suffers from PTSD because of some 'visions' and sometimes bad dreams, a remnant of her time being tormented in Asura's purgatory. Left takes on the same 'pupil-less' look in the dark but return to normal in regular daylight.

☀Antlers are permanent and do not shed however are quite durable. Front half curves out and forward similar to a white tail's while the back half resembles an elk.

☀ Mouth is filled with sharp, carnivorous teeth similar to a canines. Omnivore, diet consists primarily of meat, however has a hardy stomach and can digest nearly anything from plants, fruit, treebark, insects, nuts. Has a very high metabolism so eating regularly is necessary. Has a tendency to gnaw on hard things such as bones or sticks. More related to her nerves than dietary needs.

☀ As a human her features are very reminiscent of her cervine form. Lean, sometimes bordering on gaunt but not unhealthy. Overall sharp features and expression. Bright amber eyes and fairly dark skinned, naturally ombre hair when grown out long.

Romulus Sovereign. Reverence. Influence. Adoration.
One whom, despite a rocky relationship from the start, has kept her close in spite of it. Has shared many softer moments with and by now entirely comfortable in letting her guard down around the Wolf, being one of the only individuals the Sunless can allow herself to share a certain level of closeness and intimacy with. Trusted and even grew to find comfort in his judgement however. Not much having changed since her childhood, but has learned through him to hold herself in higher regard and make smarter choices by managing her emotions better. Respected for the initial blunt and harsh honesty, guidance she'd inherently craved most of her life; Would never label him as a father for several reasons but something akin to filling that void. Somehow believes him to have offered redemption from her past and her lineage by giving her more chances than she can shake a stick at, and thus cannot help but fear disappointing the Wolf. Protective of in her own way and silently strives to be whatever he needs her to be. His word stands above all others. Loved absolutely and unconditionally.

Alice Mother; Disowned by. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Morgül Father; Disowned by. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Mika First born sister; Upon being reunited met with relief but also fear. Looked out for distantly but having been so long doesn't feel much of a connection as she would have hoped for.

Kiosydan Third born brother; Estranged. Unable to push past her own envy and resentment and distrust over the years no matter how hard she tries to always found something to push her a little too close to the edge.

Snorri Younger brother by blood. Met. Initially angered and pained by their existence yet views him as an individual rather than an extension of her parents and watches from a distance. Sees more than his sister but doesn't have much of a relationship with.

Lifa Younger sister by blood. Met. Initially angered and pained by their existence yet views her as an individual rather than an extension of her parents and watches from a distance.

Vinx Maternal half brother. Met a few times as a fawn but does not remember much else.

Zora Maternal half sister. Unknown. Deceased.



Jasus bitch make some friends.



Tynan Respite. Benevolence. Cherished.
Easily considered one of her best friends, which considering how sparse the Tom's visits to the forest tend to be is impressive in itself. Despite a rough patch has been consistently there and something of an anchor during the prominent landmarks of her life. Cared for and loved. Gone? Missed.

Elliot An introduction to education. Taught her to read enough so that she could self teach. Giver. Content around but also uneasy simply because of his abundance of generosity regarding gifts and the feeling that it's all going to amount up to owing the elk something. Vastly different and yet all too similar. Considered a friend.

Stria Enjoyable, finds herself at ease and oddly flippant in her company. Doesn't know well but garners a sense of comfort from in their similarities.

Grimkell Familiarity, considered a friend albeit loosely as their interactions seem to be fairly silent, can still appreciate it for what it is whether in silent company or cutting loose with some mindless romping. Distant but cared for.

Nepenthe Pleasant, appreciative of the time the other joins with her.

Nidhem Formally met in Romulus' cabin where first impressions were not particularly good. Partially to blame for her own nature for the tension that ensued but pegged the other as ungrateful or simply not very intelligent, yet upon learning of his prior relationship with Morgul, grew more curious and tried to pry as much out of him as possible. Also nearly punched his lights out for getting the impression that he was planning to target her younger siblings if not for the fact that Rom cared for her. Watchful. Tolerance. Tends to regard the other with a cold indifference but can be kind to on occasion.

Rhea Skepticism.

Jonathan New, seems alright but he is a man after all and we all know what that means...he's probably the worst.

Seen and aware of many others.



Lieva Heartbreak. Trauma. Resentment.
Once her closest bond and even looked up to as a sister figure for the entirety of her youth. 'Rescued' her in a sense and so became incredibly close to and tried to be there for the other in her rough times. Heartbroken when the doe died and mourned heavily only to have it crushed when the red 'disowned' her shortly after her resurrection. Ultimately believes she's justified for doing so has a hard time not feeling resentment for all she did do in spite of what she 'didn't'. Feelings of abandonment.

Galene Heartbreak. Trauma. Resentment.
Lieva's mother. Once considered the older doe a bit of a mentor as she helped her in her youth found comfort in her presence. Now has presumably also 'disowned' her as soon Lieva did. Tried to approach afterwards and feelings were confirmed by the does utter indifference towards her. Understands why but just as much angered of the doe's abrupt cold shoulder. Source of abandonment and rejection. Avoidance.

Nimh Distrust. Betrayal.
'Sister' though not by blood the doe had a prevalent presence from her birth and during her childhood, however through rough times found the doe to be fickle and untrustworthy who 'sympathized' with those that hurt her. Source of hurt, betrayal. Civil but distanced.

Rahal
Once considered a friend, one of the first few who she enjoyed spending time with when she was younger, yet came to a fast halt with her treatment of him during a time of stress. Much later apologized to him and upon having that accepted a mild hope of rebuilding their friendship despite a wary awareness of how quickly he'd spoke ill of her to Tynan when given the chance. Considers him a fair-weather friend at best now, one who hops from one individual to another once things get less than ideal without so much as a sideways glance to anyone else between each 'obsession'. Wary of his seemingly quickly built relationship with her brother for this very reason.

"Darkness encountered and traversed becomes a source of new light,
a ‘black sun’." ^{- Richard Kearney}

"I do not give simple-hearted love and nor allow you simply love me." ^{- Adrienne Rich}

"I am the one who got so good at burning the bridges before they could burn me and I am also the one who learnt to stay even long after they leave." ^{- Kriti G.}

"I learned to love in dark places, when there was no light we created our own, and I used to think that the sun must be underneath my skin because everyone who gets close to me burns up. Maybe I am meant to love only in the dark. Maybe it’s safer." ^{- The Suns in My Wrist}

"Some girls are full of heartache and poetry and those are the kind of girls who try to save wolves instead of running from them."^{- Nikita Gill}

"My heart is not a home for cowards."
^{- D Antoinette Foy}

"Maybe too much damage has been done.
Maybe I’ve worn it on my skin for so long it trickled down and nestled in my bones before diffusing into my marrow.
Maybe now it’s as much a part of me as the very resilient heart that keeps me alive."
^{- nextstop-jannah}

"As it is, I will always be a stranger who never feels at home, who does not really want and is not really wanted, who can never belong, who must always be a little in love with death."
^{- Eugene O'Neill}


After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn…
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure…

That you really are strong

And you really do have worth…

And you learn and learn…

With every good-bye you learn.

^{- Jorge Luis Borges, You Learn}

Bring me your suffering
The rattle roar of broken bones.
Bring me the riot in your heart.
Angry, wild and raw.
Bring it all.
I am not afraid of the dark.
^{- Mia Hollow}

"I want to love, but my hair smells of war and running and running."^{- Warsan Shire}

"My feelings are too loud for words and too shy for the world."
^{- Dejan Stojanovic, “Forgotten Home”}

"But some people can’t tell where it hurts. They can’t calm down. They can’t ever stop howling."
^{- Margaret Atwood}

‘You have made so many enemies?’ he asked, with gentle irony. ‘Strangers,’ she replied. ‘I seem to make strangers of all the people I meet.’
^{- D.H. Lawrence, from The Complete Works}

"My soul has been so fearful, so violent:
forgive its brutality."^{- Louise Glück, from A Village Life; “Crossroads”}

Love isn’t soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.
^{- Stephen King, The Body}

Deep inside, she knew who she was, and that person was smart and kind and often even funny, but somehow her personality always got lost somewhere between her heart and her mouth, and she found herself saying the wrong thing or, more often, nothing at all.
^{- Julia Quinn, Romancing Mister Bridgerton}
