Personality and Other Traits

Sexuality: Straight
Likes: Mischief, hunting, playing, eating, experimenting with powers, chivalry, the color blue, his grin
Dislikes: Cruelty, meanness, anti-chivalrous individuals, ignorance
Strengths: Strong, though deluded mind; Manipulation; Moisture; Ingenuity; Agility
Weaknesses: Dryness; Social situations; Physical strength; Pretty does (can be easily manipulated by a doe he fancies); Fawns; Food; Hard to take serious sometimes
Other Stuff:
Cheshire, for the most part, acts rather odd. He talks in strange riddles sometimes, often making no sense. His personality can change at the most strange moments, being serious one moment, to being a fun-loving goofus the next. His emotions are the exact same, rapidly changing.
By taking a look at him most would conclude he is insane, but quite the opposite is true. He is a master at using logic and strategy to his advantage, which is aided by his strange ability to use vapor and mist at will to bend light to create illusions, become invisible, and make very minor rain showers.
Using this ability he is able to keep himself completely hidden, save for the smell of fresh rain left every time he uses this power. He is also able to bend the light with the water in the air to make illusions, however this is a very draining process on him. If he uses his ability too much he can pass out from exhaustion. However, the more he uses aspects of his power, the more he is able to sustain it. Kind of like endurance training. Due to this, though, he has bouts of narcolepsy and passes out while talking to other herla if he had been using his ability too much lately.
Being a creature of vapor control is a result of his mutant genes and delta-herla parents and delta-area upbringing.
This strange Herla is actually rather friendly despite the menacing grin that is plastered on his face at all times, which also a result of his mutant genes.
Cheshire's Interactions
Sarla: A grumpy, blood-hungry doe that doesn't seem to appreciate that he had done her a favor before, getting her a meal when all she had were clovers. She absolutely hates when he uses his powers on her.
Hellion: Very jumpy, or at least on their second encounter. Fun to toy with. Cheshire scared the crap out of him and his favorite quote of all time came out of Hellion: DO NOT DO THIS THING
Armani: Met her when she was a fawn and protected her from Marilyn and came out with a few battle wounds. Every since then he has felt a special duty to protect her, even though she's a yearling now and will soon be fully grown. Very innocent and skittish.
Marilyn: Three words. Bat. s**t. Insane. Cheshire thought he was odd, but meeting Marilyn put the real meaning of bonkers into his mind. She had shown up after he had just met Armani, when Armani panicked at the sight of Marilyn's blades, Cheshire instigated a fight to get rid of her.
Azul: Beautiful blue doe. She's very kind and soft spoken, even when he frightens her a bit. She's also very comforting and is one of Cheshire's favorites, even if she's on a quest to find her lost love, 2-D.
Vega: Cheshire's hunting buddy. Vega teaches Cheshire things about hinds while Cheshire teaches Vega about using wit in hunting instead of brute force.
Chalice: Hasn't really spent much time around her, but she's very nice as well. Cheshire had his narcolepsy kick in and she apparently watched over his sleeping body in the two days he was out.

Cheshire's Backstory
Cheshire was born in the Delta lands and had two caring delta parents.
His father (Lewis) was a dark blue herla, with the same style of horns as his son. He also carried a longer than normal tail, a trait also shared by Cheshire. His mother (Carroll) was a lighter color of blue with some barely discernible stripes.
Both parents were very caring and affectionate towards Cheshire when he was a fawn. Cheshire couldn't have asked for better parents, honestly. His dad would play with him whenever Cheshire wanted and his mom would baby him whenever he got hurt or was scared.
However, such a beautiful and happy family was never meant to be, it seems. Not long after Cheshire was allowed to venture out of his thicket he went a bit too far in his exploration, as he ended up in the very dangerous marshlands.
Cheshire thought it was a hoot to be there, pronking all about the rotten timbers and murky waters. Having been gone "adventuring" for several hours, his parents went off to look for him, much to their dismay. They've told him too many times to count to stay away from the marsh and swamp.
In his adventures, he came across a ledge of land overlooking a very large puddle. Cheshire, being the carefree spirit that he is, didn't think much about the puddle he had jumped in to... Until, that is, he discovered he couldn't free himself from the grasp of the quicksand he had so carelessly leaped in to.
Panicked, Cheshire began screaming for help and flailing wildly, trying to get out. Immediately, his parents heard his cries and bounded his way. By the time that Lewis and Carroll had reached him, Cheshire was already up to his neck in the sand. They looked around for a tree branch or something to use to get their son out but there was none large enough for the job.
Selflessly, his father plunged in after the fawn, grabbing him by the nape of the neck and pulled him out of the sand and flung him away in hopes that he would be able to reach sturdy ground.
That plan failed. Cheshire made it only about half way before landing in the quicksand again. Again, Cheshire begun to panic, not only at his own predicament, but his father's as well. Because of him, his father was now stuck as well, despite his best efforts to get himself free.
Lewis called to his mate, "We have got to save our son!" and that was all that was needed for Carroll to jump in beside Cheshire and do the exact same that Lewis had done: grabbing Cheshire's nape with her teeth and tossing him the rest of the way. This time, it was successful. She had tossed him just far enough that he could dig his hooves into sturdy ground and pull himself up.
As soon as he did, he turned around to look at his parents... His father was shoulder deep now, and his mother was leg deep. Both of them were calm, despite the tears in their eyes looking at their son.
"I'll save you!" Cheshire calls foolishly as he is about to jump in the water again when he is cut off by his father's commanding voice.
"DO NOT COME FOR US!" Lewis commanded and Cheshire stopped. Cheshire laid his ears back and bit his lip, letting the tears well up in his eyes.
"I'll find a way!" he says and starts looking for something he could use. He finds a dead log and exclaims he found something to use. He jumped over the log and tried pushing it towards the quicksand that his beloved parents were in, but the trunk would not move at all. He kept trying, letting the tears roll off his face as he tried valiantly to move the log, but still no good.
His mother calls him back, and he reluctantly obeys and comes back to the edge, only to see his father almost up to his chin and his mother not far behind. They both tell Cheshire that they love him with all their heart and that they're sorry they can't watch him grow up.
Cheshire says he loves them too between his sobs and buckets of tears as he watches Lewis and Carroll sink completely, nothing left of them except their last breaths bubbling up from the depths.
Cheshire just stood there in tears for several hours, watching the exact same place where his parents sunk. Something had snapped inside Cheshire that day. He had told himself that his parents would want him to be happy for his entire life and so he always smiled. Day and night, night and day always smiling.
Eventually he had left his place of mourning and began to wander aimlessly, leading a hermetic life for many years, though unintentionally. He had never met many herla on his wanderings though the delta swamps and marshes, but he wasn't avoiding them. He just had bad luck that way.
He also had a terrible sense of direction that caused him to stay in the same general area for most of these years. When he had finally gotten out, he was fully grown and matured and ready to take on the challenges of the forest, meadows, rivers, lakes, and streams. Cheshire was also incredibly lonely and sought out to meet new herla to befriend, which lead him to the events that occur within this great shop.
He now had a deep emotional scar. He doesn't know how to display his emotions, nor does he keep his emotions for very long as they shift entirely over the course of several seconds depending on what's going on.
This particular event had also shaped him into the fierce fawn and yearling protecting machine he is today. His parents died protecting him, so now it is drilled into his skull that he must do the same for every fawn and yearling he meets. Of course he'll still protect them once their grown, as he does for every herla, but fawns get a special treatment from him.

 (Special Moltres Pokeherla!)
Physical
Name: Lasair
Language: Irish Gaelic
Meaning: Blaze
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Powers: Apart from her wings, head, and tail being fire/on fire, she can also breathe fire. Her bones are light, which allow her to glide short distances.
Likes: Fire; Flying; Singing; Cooking; Comedy; Lightheartedness; Truth
Dislikes: Stupidity; Selfishness; SuparSRSness; Liars
Strengths: Fire (I sense a trend here); Self Control; Adding more later *writer block*
Weaknesses: Water; Dryness towards other herla if angered; Strong bucks; Minor Paranoia;
Other Stuff:
Lasair is a very truthful Herla. She speaks her heart and her mind. She will not lie to protect someherla's feelings. Her truthfulness can be considered both a strength and a weakness, as sometimes it can drive a herla away or for them to be angry with her.
Even though she is very truthful herself, she is very skeptical of other herla's words and can be paranoid depending on how well she knows the other herla.
Despite these facts, she does have a good sense of humor and will tell jokes and laugh at other's jokes or merrymaking.
Lasair has been a single herla all of her life and is ready to find a buck she finds attractive and strong to have fawns with. She does not believe in flings and wants a mate for life.
Lasair's Interactions
Ryan: A gentleman that she met by the river. She enjoys his company quite a bit and teaches him how to cook.
Lasair's Backstory
Lasair has been a solitary hind for as long as she could remember. It's not that she didn't enjoy other herla as company, it's just that she had enjoyed peace and solitude more.
She's always lived and roosted near rivers, fish being her main source of food. She'd occasionally wander into the forest to get some other small critters to eat, but that was about it.
The firey hind has only just begun to look for friends and a potential mate, as her breeding instincts have kicked in.

Personality and Other Traits Name: Aera Language: Irish Gaelic Meaning: Air Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual Powers: None, unless you count her softly glowing markings. Likes: Her clothes, her markings, herself, being motherly Dislikes: Being ignored Strengths: Smart Weaknesses: Shallow Other Stuff: Aera's Interactions None yet. Aera's Backstory Aera, hailing from the Delta Clan, had spent a majority of her life in the rivers, deltas, streams, and really any other watery area. It has only been recently that she has come out of her comfort zone of the water and into the meadows, forests, woods, and mountains to meet other types of herla. Where she comes from, the most unusual thing is gills, so herla with abilities completely astound her. She finds them so interesting, but at the same time frightening. She watcher her words and actions carefully around those blessed herla.

Personality and Other Traits
Name: Kluyo
Language: Gibberish
Meaning: N/A
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Powers: Fire, Ice, Lightening, Wind
Likes: Hinds, rhyming, haiku, showing off, attention, being a show-off
Dislikes: Being insulted, being criticized, not being the center of attention
Strengths: Manipulation, rhyming, haiku,
Weaknesses: Short temper, somewhat cowardice
Other Stuff:
Kluyo's Powers
Being of four elements, he is not particularly strong in any individual element, but is rather good at combining them for useful, entertaining, and unexpected results. The limitations on what he can do are thus.
Fire: Create a small bonfire
Ice: Freeze a small critter solid and create sharp icicles that shatter harmlessly after a few seconds
Lightening: Disorient and knock a medium sized buck to the ground.
Wind: Unpleasant storm-like winds. Can't really blow anything over, but can kick up some dust.
Kluyo's Interactions
Jaelyn: First hind he met. She seems to be rather entertained by his rhyming and haiku. Kluyo finds her attractive, even if she isn't the brightest in the box.
Armani: Second hind he met, brought along by Jaelyn. He also finds Armani attractive, but way too shy and timid for his tastes and feels that even he couldn't get her to stop being such.
Kluyo's Backstory
Kluyo is from a line of secret herd from the mountains.
This herd is obsessed with pushing out the most powerful herla that have abilities to gain fame for themselves. Kluyo is a project of that. Third generation, in fact.
His grandparents each had a separate element that they had an ability with. Fire, wind, ice, and lightening. Fire and wind had several fawns together until one showed signs of having both abilities in the same body. The exact same went for Ice and Lightening.
Now there are two children with multiple abilities. They are forced to mate until one of their children had shown signs of being able to use the four elements. This was Kluyo. He grew up in a strict environment, being forced to train every day until he couldn't stand it any longer and collapsed. His grandparents were not pleased with the potency of each ability by itself so they pushed him even harder until he reached a mediocre level with his abilities.
In Kluyo's time away from his grandparents' and parents' training, he took a liking to haiku and rhyme. He used it to get his mind off his pain and his training. Kluyo loved it so much that he vowed that he would speak in either rhyme or haiku unless unavoidable.
Having grown up and one of his own mind now, he decided to leave his herd and travel far away, where he wouldn't be treated as a weapon that needed constant honing. He made it to a nice, calm looking little meadow where he had decided he was going to spend the rest of his days.

Personality and Other Traits Name: Tobias Language: Hebrew Meaning: Gift from God Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight Personality: Bi-polar Powers: Enhanced endurance/stamina Likes: Honor, battle, glory, training Dislikes: Defeat, shame, being idle Strengths: Cunning, strong, swift, tactical Weaknesses: Honor, pride, being bi-polar Other Stuff: Tobias' Interactions None yet. Tobias' Backstory Tobias has come from a remote herd in the foothills of the great mountains, all of them with some canine features such as tails, fangs, and fur. His herd are a proud group, thriving for battle, glory, and honor. However, they were quite peaceful and didn't look to create trouble just for battle. This herd did attack at the slightest hint of danger, though, as they felt the need to protect what was theirs. The herd also made trips to abandoned guardian establishments in order to get supplies, such as weapons and armor (y'know, since it's kinda hard to forge things with hooves) from run-down museums, as they had preserved such things quite well. These trips had caused some of the members to get stronger than normal doses of radiation, altering the genetics of those affected. Some of them manifested these genetics with their canine features becoming more dominant and feral. Others had them manifest in strange abilities such as elemental control, minor telekinetic abilities, and enhanced strength, stamina, agility and/or speed. Several generations of visiting irradiated guardian establishments had gone by, the mutations the herd had begun to experience are now commonplace and expected. Until, that is, that a black colored wolf-ish hart and a white colored fox-ish hind of high rank in the herd had given birth to a unique creature, even among them. It was a total mix between the two parents. One half being black and wolfish, the other half being white and foxish. What was even more bizarre, this young hart had seven tails! Again, they were split evenly. Three white tails, three black tails, and one tail split down the middle. There were murmurs among the herd about this young one. Some were positive, some were negative, and some were even fearful. This was until the guardians of the herd had gotten among themselves and decided to put the wheels of fate into motion. The guardians had all decided to go back to their respective herla and tell them that his fawn was a gift from the heavens. That it is one of the chosen ones. That he would bring great glory to the herd! So it happened. It may very well saved this baby's life as all herla were in agreement with their guardians that he was indeed a gift. The guardians had also unintentionally named the fawn Tobias, the Hebrew meaning for Gift from God. As Tobias grew, the his parents decided to train him in the art of war. While training, they discovered that Tobias never tired before his parents or his other tutors, despite the back to back training sessions with multiple teachers. He just kept going and going. Everyone was simply amazed at his stamina. It would seem that his mutation had unlocked a dormant part of his genetics, allowing him to process and expend energy with maximum efficiency, making him have an insane amount of endurance and stamina. As a direct result of his increased stamina, he was able to fit a lot more training in a lot less time than anyone else, quickly becoming an elite warrior. His skills were unmatched by anyone except for the elder warriors. His physical abilities were also accelerated in growth, nobody was able to keep up with him at top speed for very long at all. The day that he was considered to be an adult, he was awarded his choice of armor from the stores from the raids on museums. He had chosen half of two different sets of armor, to match his split self. One was more weathered and black, where the other was more well preserved, still shiny even. The ceremony where his armor was put on, his parents informed him that in order to get further in life, to become more of a warrior, he's going to have to leave the herd and go on a journey, as they believe that knows everything that the herd can teach him. Tobias doesn't question or argue. Tobias has always respected his elders and their wishes. He stayed for a day to get good rest and he departed, sending farewells to his parents and the elders that helped raise him.
