Family:

Aldrich – Father, he is severely disappointed by his two living children. A cruel stag with a charming exterior he only wants to raise a herd with a large army to overtake due to his support for Donnaghan (and exile from Glenmore)the Western Isles, however delusional that may be. He is more of a puppet for his friend Iago, most days he lounges about in the hidden glen and ignores the does and fawns, brooding over his so far failure.

Maris- Avalyn’s overprotective mother. She was young when she fell pregnant within Aldrich’s harem and unknowingly she had made the worst mistake of her life. She is currently kept prisoner along with another doe by Iago and Aldrich. After birthing her twins and seeing one was dead and the other was disabled she knew she could never make a run for it and at that point decided protecting Avalyn was the most important thing.

Iago – Aldrich’s puppet master. This slimy stag is like an uncle to Avalyn. Not in the loving sense but in the ‘I’m going to molest you eventually’ sense. He’s a short and ugly little creature and obviously controlling Aldrich in every move he makes. Iago’s goal is to piss the Glenmore King off by luring Royal does away secretly and keeping them. Not a brilliant plan but it has worked a bit. He is a die hard supporter of Donnaghan and was exiled due to this.

Lilith – Another doe claimed by Aldrich with Maris. She is a hysterical little doe, and often Aldrich teaches her ‘lessons’ for being too loud or emotional. He has stopped beating on her a bit since her fawn was born but he still likes to knock her around a bit.

Sephora- Lilith’s daughter and Avalyn’s half-sister. This perky little fawn loves to test the limits and see how much she can get away with. Iago despises her spirit and laughter and spends most of his time trying to get her to fall into a river and drown. Aldrich ignores her, opting to cures the does for not giving him big healthy sons. Seph doesn’t care about him either, she spends most of her days trying to get Avalyn to play with her much to Maris’ displeasure.

Roz- The third doe Avalyn’s father took. She attempted to escape from him the winter before their birth and was never seen again. Her mother says she either escaped or was killed, along with the fawn she bore.

Herd Information

Herd: Estranged Glenmore Member

Herd Position: None at the moment, if she can ever escape Aldrich and Iago she will be considered a Commoner in Glenmore due to her father supporting Donnaghan and being exiled.

Details

Personality: Avalyn is a shy creature, from the moment she could stand she was treated like a bird in a gilded cage. She was taught to be fearful of others and herself as her mother sheltered her and protected her, she is constantly being worried over and that has given her little self-confidence. She is embarrassed by her shaking and wobbly gait due to her sister’s teasing and often times she tries to lie around and look delicate. She loves magic and at nights she begs her mom to make flowers bloom for lush beds she enjoys laying in. She is certain she will gain great magical powers as well. Her father is rough with her and she is terrified when she sees him around. When she plays with Sephora things tend to get a bit rough and rambunctious, she tries to keep it from happening because it displeases her mother but she also enjoys acting normal from time to time.

Physical: Always looks tired, has a constant shake in her legs that leads to a wobbly gait, tired a lot.

History: Avalyn’s mother Maris grew up pampered and lowed within the Glenmore herd. For her first few eligible ruts she denied any stag access to her body, deciding to save herself for only the best stag. In the fall of 758 of the New Age, a forgotten stag made his way to the rut grounds. His name was Aldrich and he was accompanied by his friend Iago. The pair said they were guards who had volunteered to scout the dense woods to protect the lovely ladies of Glenmore. Many does were smitten and even Maris was head over hooves for the tall, charming and handsome stag. Blinded by love she didn’t notice the way he ducked past guards and often hid. That rut he claimed her along with two other does who were just as wild about him. As they basked in their early pregnancy they didn’t notice Iago pushing Aldrich to move his prizes from the main herd.

It wasn’t long before Aldrich was leading them through unfamiliar forests, telling them they’d be safer in this area rather than the heart of Glenmore. The does followed him, all willing to due to their love but a little apprehensive of Iago herding them along with his sharp antlers, not afraid to prod the pregnant ladies.

When they reached their destination they were awed by the beauty of the glen, but also the secludedness of it. It had taken nearly two weeks to reach and by then winter was setting upon the Isles. This worried the ladies and they all began to question why they were there. Aldrich then decided to let them know they now belonged to him, and anyone caught trying to flee would be killed. After hearing that the does were desperate to escape but they knew it would only lead to more trouble. Through the winter they planned attempt after attempt, each growing more impossible than the last. Lilith and Maris’ spirits broke after that and they decided to give up escape till after the fawns were born, but Roz was not so patient.

One night she slipped away with a frozen breeze, in the morning the stags were after her after threating to rip out anyone’s throat who attempted to run while they were gone.

The pair returned empty handed and didn’t say a word of what happened all Maris and Lilith knew was that Roz was gone.

Spring came and went after that, the change of seasons was not so delightful for the kidnapped does who longed for their posh life.

Both does birthed in the beginning of summer. Maris was first and it was a hard labor.

For hours she contracted and withered in pain, all Lilith could do was whisper soothing words to her and pray to Óganach for her friend’s safety.

The first fawn delivered was her stillborn son. Large and pale, only freckles of white dappled his withers, he was an angel in the does’ eyes but when he did not take a breath Maris was broken. Halfway through her mourning she contracted again, and before long a tiny fawn was laid out in the grass.

Maris’ body was strained and she was very weak, from the physical labor but also the emotional strain of her baby being dead, let alone the shock of a second fawn emerging from her. All Maris could do was lay still and pray that this baby was ok. Her weak body trembled and she panted like a dog, Lilith nuzzled her withers in a calming manner, signaling that she was done. Maris gazed at her friend from the corner of her eye, taking a deep breath to ask about the fawn, when she was interrupted by a slightly muffled bleat.

In a flash Maris’ head shot up and she gazed upon the lovely and petite fawn that was sprawled in the afterbirth. Pain still seared through her but the joy of being a mother took over any instinct to keep her from moving and feeling the pain. She cleaned her daughter in Ernest, alongside Lilith who was becoming the best aunt in the world every second more.

The fawn’s brown eyes gazed upon her mother, heavy lidded but still curious. She was so delicate and petite, immediately Maris thought of the name Avalyn, a name to match her new daughter’s beautiful looks and coloring.

As Maris prodded her young one to stand the fawn looked over and saw her brother sprawled across . Frightened Maris tried to pull her baby from the trance, realizing she was fixated upon her departed brother. To Maris it was a bad omen, for this frail fawn to convulse at the sight of her brother, not knowing her true burden was a seize due to her illness.

That was the first day Avalyn saw her brother. But unlike her mother Avalyn hallucinated a live and breathing colt lying next to her, he was as fixated on her as she was on him and slowly he reached over and touched his nose to hers. Not seconds afterwards her brother disappeared, leaving only the shell that had been there before.

As she righted herself and began to stand the stags emerged from the twined thistles that made their prison, both looking at the horrific sight before them with curled lips. After a second Avalyn took shaky steps toward them, unsure of the new comers but wanting to see them better, this inquiring spirit would be lost in time but at the time of her birth she was still a fluttering soul.

Aldrich was outraged by the sickly creature that they claimed was his daughter, he spit at her and pinned his ears, disgusted by her overall.

Maris, frightened for her baby immediately began to call out for Avalyn, but her soft cries fell short and the baby paid no mind to her. Iago scoffed at that and congratulated Maris for bringing the ‘ dumb donkey ‘to life.

Maris swept Avalyn back to her side and kept her from the male’s piercing stares, she knew her son had to be removed and daughter had to be fed.

Maris knelt next to her forever sleeping son and kissed his forehead, Avalyn tried to mimic her mommy on her wobbly legs, but soon fell over by her mommy’s head. As a tear fell from Maris’ eye, it landed on Avalyn’s nose, the tired fawn snorted and shook her head in surprise at the salty drop.

“…I’ll always love you.”

The words rang in her ears as her mother told them to her brother, surprising Avalyn with the weird sound. Her ears flicked to her mother trying to hear more but a loud muffle came from behind and startled her. Making her lose focus and understanding, but she would always remember the first words, because they were the most clear things she would ever hear in her life.

-/---/---/-

Past stories-

Iago and Aldrich giving them some freedom when she’s a youngster and allowing them daily visits to the creek.

Avalyn seeing magic for the first time, done by the stags as they close the thorn thicket around the glen to keep the does there. She is scared by it which pushes Maris to show her good magic like how she makes flowers bloom and plants grow.

Her mother telling her stories of the gods and demigods Óganach, Earrann, and Áillte. After this Avalyn pretends to be a princess like the ones in her Mommy’s stories, but it all ends when Iago stomps her dreams by saying something mean loud enough so she can hear.

Sephora and Avalyn being babysat by Iago, who tells them awful stories about war and famine and death, which Seph finds really cool but Ava doesn’t particularly like.

Seph and Ava wander off on a day the does and fawns are allowed by the creek and they meet a stranger They don't really say anything about their family situation but Iago discovers them and whisks them back to the glen, promising to punish them for what they'd done, but when they return Aldrich is beating the does for losing the fawns, Iago makes the decision to not tell Aldrich of the other fawnling and simply lie and say the weak one had fallen and couldn't move. It earns the girls a kick each but in spares them the beating.

One morning after Seph picks on her, Ava pouts by the pond as the small group of fawnlings enjoy their morning out of the glen. Lilith goes to comfort her and tells her why Seph can be mean but not Ava. This is also when Avalyn falls in love with lily pads thanks to her aunt.

As Avalyn gets older and her illnesses I pare her continue she ends up being able to speak with the vision of her brother and get his opinion on current things. She never figures out if there are really her speaking with his spirit or just her imagination but they do help her feel better, and makes hard choices easier for her. He truely does help her through, what she calls, her 'darkest' times.

Avalyn escaping from her father and running, maybe to the Glenwood or possibly into Blackwood, meeting some guards or raiders.

After escaping her father and Iago Avalyn loses her bearings and decides to try and find Roz, if she is still alive, she wants to know if the doe ever made it to a safe place or if Iago's grueling death account was true.

Avalyn decides she never wants children, she fears that her sickness will hurt any baby or worse, it could be passed on to them. She loves fawns but just feels it's not the right thing for her.

Trying to control her illnesses, by using herbs or having a princess bless her with light magic, she doesn't know if it will work, but it’s worth a try.

Before she tries to be treated she fears she will never see her brother again and has to make the decision to either go through with it and possibly lose her brother's spirit or keep him and prolong her impairment.
