Here is my entry for Doe!! Hope you like it!! Bio Name - Doe (or Misty) Pronouns - They/them/theirs, he/him/his Species - Deer-cat/Forest Spirit Backstory - When they were a little fawn, Doe was separated from his family. They wandered the forests, searching for what could possibly be their family. Years past and they were still lonesome, cast out by those who they met. They turned their focus to something new. Something they could happily look forward to: getting their antlers. They could travel the forest standing tall! No animal would cast them out again. They looked at their reflection in the stream for years, but there was nothing. Not even tiny buds for antlers. Doe became very lonesome again. But when they thought nothing in the world would ever go their way, the wind came to cheer them up. They would play with the wind for hours and hours, forgetting the world around them. One day, the wind led Doe deep into the forest. In that part of the forest, the leaves made a canopy so that no light could get in. Traveling for days, the wind finally stopped, bringing Doe to a glowing, magnificent, and humungous birch tree. But it wasn't any birch tree, it was the Blue Birch tree, the one talked about in ancient forest myths. A pool of water surrounded the tree with mist surrounding it too. The wind cleared away the fog from one section of the water. Doe stepped forward. They put their mouth down to the water and drank from it. The water glowed around where they drank. Light appeared at the top of their head and surrounding their body. It vanished to reveal antlers made from the blue birch wood and a wool poncho the colors of the tree. Suddenly a thought entered their head, put there by a force other than their own. They were the spirit of the forest. They gained a feeling of acceptance. The wind vanished into the forest. Doe wandered the forest for years, in their favorite form and their original form. They interacted with the animals and trotted through the woods. Their favorite season was autumn, as they always took the form of something related to that season. As the years passed, the wind never came back, but Doe was constantly bullied by the other spirits. Doe was the smallest, weakest, and shyest out of the bunch. They always escaped for the woods. They gave up on the idea that the wind would come back. But one day, it did. When Doe was crying deep in the forests, pushing away everyone, the wind came back. It took the form of a massive misty fox and spoke to Doe in a soft voice. "This is who you are. This is who you are meant to be. There's nothing you can change about that, except accepting it and being proud." Doe looked at it and smiled, wiping away their tears. He was braver now. Even though the wind might not always be there, it didn't matter. It thought them that, it thought them bravery, and that was all they needed. If I win this design, I'll probably make a comic on their backstory Art - Me Design - @-cafecat- Program used - Paint 3D Zoom in code - @Colorsnatch
