Description

Definately not the best character and backstory I have seen for that doe but I worked to hard on the picture to not submit it.

And off course mature content filter because of the blood.

*edit* If the head of Ska's prey should have any resemblance to an existing fawnling it's really pure coincidence. I had no particular fawnling in mind while I was coloring it and I thought it was a nice contrast to the dark doe.

Ska has no real companions but lots of little scavengers are always around her since they know that those doe offers them an easy meal ( and Ska is fine with it if somebody cleans the dirt up that she has left)

Herd Information

Details
Personality:

Evil, sadistic and bloodthirsty.

Those three words describe Ska best. She loves the taste of blood and the color it left on snow,earth,plants or fur. She loves the sound of painful screams and the sound of their last breath, she loves the smell of fear and despair and look in the eyes of her victim when they are close to the death. It sends her shivers of excitement done her spine and let her heart tremble from joy.

If she were a human she would be labeled psychopathic killer with a clear profile but as a doe she's often just classified as mad and evil.

Beside her love for blood she also has a weakness for skulls. She loves to collect skulls of all kind an usually behead her victims so that she can keep their skulls as souvenir. Finding a headless but for the rest relatively intact fawnling corpse somewhere is usually the prove that Ska was on the hunt again. Ska hides all her trophies in a little cave that only she knows and was used to not simply store them there but also decorate them with plants and color.

Ska is really intelligent and smart. She learns fast if you teach her something and reproduces what she learned perfectly. She's rather eloquent if it comes up to talking with others but she rarely search the conversation with other fawnlings than her relatives or "friends".

She values physical strength higher than magic and don't practice the later one much. For her it's more important to have the force and skill to fight than performing stupid little magic tricks.

Since her birth she had a certain dislike for male fawnlings. She never made bad experiences with them or something similar but she never liked them. One reason why she killed most of her own male fawns and why males in general are her favorite victim. If she get caught in a fight with a blackwood stag she will fight until her opponent is badly enough injured that he has to give up but with stags from other herds it will always be a fight to the death.

Ska is known for venturing into the other territories to hunt down male fawns and steal doe fawns to bring them back to Blackwood and if somebody wants to come in her way he/she will die.

She rarely raise those stolen fawns herself but throws them into the herd so that one of the does can adopt it. Same for her own fawns. It's rare that she raise one of them by herself. In Ska's eyes fawns are useful but also quiet annoying and they would cumber her when she's out for a hunt.

History:

Ska is one of those creatures that are simply born evil. She had a normal fawn hood and a normal teenage hood, so nothing happend to her that could cause her bloodthristy nature.

From very early she showed already a certain traits that could considered as bad. She loved to hurt others so that they started to bleed,killed small creatures (like mice and bugs) or tortured them by ripping there limps out. Her mother Nessa never stopped her but saw it as a good thing to tough her daughter up very early not seeing that the little fawn start to find sadisfaction and fun in killing other creatures.

Ska's father was unknown but her mother always said she mated with a stag of her own choice to get Ska and that she choose to leave him. Ska didn't care for who her father was, for her it was okay to life alone with her mother.

When Ska reached maturity she went like all young Blackwoods out to kill a wolf. She sharpened her horn and ventured off into the deep woods to find her prey. She meet a lonely wolf deep in the dark forest and tried to bring him down like she was told she have to. The fight was tough but at the end she won and beheaded the wolf to keep his head as a trophy. It was on her way back to her mother that she felt a pain in her tail and when she turned around to look what happened she saw that the wolf ripped a big part of her tail off.

It was a bad wound and Ska's mother needed to amputate a big part of the remaining tail to make it a clean wound that could heal.

Ska wore her short tail with pride after it was healed and doesn't care about how it would look for others.

In her first rut she mated with a stag who was a few years older than her. She choose him by herself and was hopeful that was the right one who could bless her with a strong and healthy daughter. But in spring she gave birth to a small and weak little son. Ska killed the fawn right after birth and like the wold she beheaded her child to keep his skull as souvenir.

Years passed and Ska's skull collection grew. She went out to Glenmore and Silverthrone and usually returned with the head of a stag. One day when she was roaming the Silverwood she found some little fawns playing hide and seek. Three stags and a little doe. Ska observed them in silence before she sneaked from hiding spot to the other and killed all the fawns beside the little doe. She stole the doe fawn and took it with her to blackwood but she didn't gave it into the care of another doe like she usually did.

For some unknown reason she kept her and started to raise her like a daughter.

In Ska's ninth year she gave birth to a new stag fawn. First she wanted to kill it like she did with those before him but something said her that he could maybe be useful to her and so she spare his life and raised him instead. Since early she trained him in killing an fighting and he showed already potential to become a hunter like his mother, what off course pleases Ska very much.

Future plans:

- Some funny (and luckily not bloody ending) encounters with Ronin

- Small talk with the skulls in Ska's cave (yes she can sometimes hear them talking)

- hopfuly nice rps with does from blackwood and other herds
