Personality
While he can be wacky, and usually appears to be so, he is always watching things with a lyrical or analytical eye. Prone to spacing out if given the opportunity -- but since many of his thoughts are depressing to him, he tends not to give himself that opportunity. If another deer's around though, he'll gladly sit back, relax, and watch the forest: just as long as there's someone else to keep his thoughts from going very downhill. The simple fact is, Seed is a deer who moves quietly from very wacky to being very quiet and melancholic. Often these melancholies are triggered by a memory or a particular thought, but they go long and deep into his heart. When he's in the grip of unhappiness, he wants to be with a singular person -- his preffered form of interaction overall. He would hate to be alone when he's unhappy, but he would not be in the mood for crowds.

He loves anything that changes the forest. He loves running, but that might be because it keeps him both distracted and free to do the sort of thinking he likes the best. Perhaps his love of running and jumping stems from his frequent joint problems -- often, he finds he cannot run or jump for a short period. He enjoys wackier forms of play, such as wacky poses, button-mashing, and sticking himself half in things. He loves the water, so waterwalking and scuba deer are favorites. His love of water, however, mixed with his often unexpected joint problems...means he falls in the pond or the deep parts of the river a lot. He does not use magical backup for his spells, and as such is often frustrated at getting his set back. He deeply enjoys dancing, particularly when he's doing a lot of mixed-button dancing. He likes butterflies, fish, and other forms of natural life in the forest, especially fireflies and the small birds. He enjoys writing small poems about what he sees.

When alone, he'll start excercising -- running wildly, jumping over obstacles, or practicing his air-sitting aim. Feel free to join him. He likes fawns and strange deer, but rarely knows how to act around them. He sometimes feels very uncomfortable in groups. He almost never runs in a straight line -- both for fear of losing track of his running partner, but also because he tends to get distracted by things he sees. He feels very protective of other deer, and hates to see them sad or scared. He enjoys a good, friendly spar but he hates real fights. He'll only drink from the crying idol, because he believes the water is cleaner there. He veiws it as rude to not return a nuzzle. He HATES having to choose between friends

By this point in his life, he's starting to develop some issues with trust, friendship, and depression. Still, on the surface, he's just as he always was -- at least, most of the time. He's nearly perfected the happy face he wears when he's thinking sadder, deeper thoughts: a face he wears not only to keep the now very vulnerable-feeling parts of himself hidden, but also to avoid ruining the fun of other people. Besides, sometimes playing along distracts him enough that he actually enjoys himself.

Appearance
He wears the dragon pelt. He feels he looks more heavily built than other deer, but that's just him being irrational. He wears flowers, though he's been known to switch which type. He likes the silent mask a lot, and that tends to be his mask of choice. His eyes are a rich, dark gold, regardless of pelt. In times when he's troubled, he'll stop wearing flowers actively: he may or may not accept them when given, and if he does, he'll usually sneeze them off when the giver is gone.


Locations
He likes hanging out in patches of purple flowers, near water, or with no set location in mind. He sleeps, when he remembers, beneath the bridge. Other than that, he's with his friends, or whomever he's with that day. He's taken to sitting in the playground with birds on his antlers if he's feeling depressed, as well as finding a favorite patch of purple flowers.

Origin
(told in story form) A Forest Fairytale


Family:
Payton (his long-lost former mate; Absent)
Nevilly (his ex-wife)
Complex (his grown-up daughter)
Scape (His bestest buddy. Seed thinks of him as a sort of brother)
Magnet (seen as a brother, largely in part as an extension of his relationship with Scape. He would otherwise view Magnet as just a very good friend, kind of cousin-ish)
Lemon (he views her as a little sister; Left)
Peppa (his niece through his "sibling adoption" of Lemon)
Zerg (his pseudo-sister-in-law)
Aleit (his adoptive nephew)
Oisin (a nephew)
Midnight (A Goddaughter and niece)

It's a little complicated to list his friendships. Seed may tell you if he feels he's become friends with you from now on.

Easily Digestable Facts
- Seed is a hopeless romantic.
- When Seed is unhappy, he has a few things he needs to do before he'll start to feel better, usually including a drink from the Crying Idol, a shower, and a snack, at the very least.
- He is afraid of the divine pelt, but will wear it for tag purposes.
- Seed will try and play anyone's game, though he can't sit-slide well and has trouble aiming when he tries to air-sit.
- He's very hesitant to use the word "friend." It usually means he hasd to bond with you and spend multiple times with you alone. As a result, he doesn't have many good friends, and can feel pretty lonely.
- Fireflies make him giddy and happy.
- He feels that only the water from the crying idol is clear enough to drink from (or the lake, but only when it's raining or snowing). He loves the pond anyway, and loves water a lot.
- He understands the whispering of the trees.
- Seed writes poems (Or I write poems and then attribute them to Seed) about the forest. the index is here
