Details

Personality: 
Now living as a Rogue, Melark has learned to live on his own. he is still a loyal and good hearted stag, but he also knows the dangers in the world now. he has opened his mind to learn and has seen that not all stories told in Glenmore were true. 
Melark turned into an easy going stag, who goes with the flow of the forest. He no longer looks at ranks or blood. A Fawnling is like it's character makes him. And he will judge on that. No longer on color or title.

Melark is a honor full stag, who takes pride in the fact he's a Royal guard and also that he was born under Royal lineage, even when he renounced it. This doesn't mean he's a pushover or know-it-all. he pretty clear in the head and knows his own edges and range and shall not go past it. He has a pretty clear vision on the herd, meaning that he knows his place. He however doesn't think that Commoners need to be seen as 'other fawnlings', just because they have no real Royal blood. For him a Royal doe has the same worth as a commoner doe and he shall treat their both fair and equal like he should.

As guard he takes his job with pride and with power. he shall fight for the Kingdom and King he need to protect and shall risk his life when he was to. Like many of the guard, he isn't so found of Fawnlings of other herds, certainly not of Blackwood stags. Though he isn't the time to attack on first sight, without warning or words (except against Blackwood then ...) 

Sweet and gentle towards does and doesn't see them as a price. He cares for them when they are in his rut harem and after, he also looks over his fawns, which he is proud of. He know he can die any day so he wishes to know his offspring and so that they know who their sire is.

He hates stags who treat doe's poorly, as he had always seen how his father treated his mother as a price, a pearl, a thing to raise in rank, because as lord, he had a princess as his side. He forbids himself to turn like his father and to act against his fawn like his father did to him.

History:
Born as the first son of the older Lord Milak and the just aged princess Saren. His father was slightly disgusted by his golden coat. Luckily he still had black manes or he would have disowned him. He could not understand why his Princess mate could deliver him a pale son. Yet as his first born son, Milak could not get rid of him, yet he made the decision that eh would also never lead. Once old enough, Milak sighed him up to become a Royal Guard. 

Melark wasn't so found of it at first, but he grew into his position. The golden stag learned to fight and to protect and when his first sister was born, he also saw it his duty to protect her.
Melark grow stronger each day and made his father proud in some way because of that.
Yet when his father died and shortly after also his beloved sister Sitka, he broke. The golden guard, who was supposed to protect her, had failed. So he left the herd for a year.

When he returned, he wasn't welcomed with open arms so fast and not everyone trusted him. but he had refound his spirit and joined the guard again and even fought so hard to become an Officer, which gained him some respect.
But everything changed again when the Boy King Drustan fled away and took with him a big part of the Royal does. Melark had never hated Drustan. he was their King and he his Guard. It was his duty to protect the herd.
It was only when Rafe became King that he started to dislike the herd he loved. Rules were placed and named were turned black. He knew that this herd was no longer the place he wanted to be and togehter with a few others of the same mind, he left again, after saying goodbye to his family.

He traveled with his band for a year, until they started to separate. Some had found a way into Haven, other had split off on their own. Melark decided to travel further on his own as well, as a lonely rogue. He fell peace with it as it wasn't his first time. he was ready to connect with the forest he loved so much ...

Yet in year 767 things changed again, when he suddenly found his adopted sister far away from the Glenmore herd ...
