Personality
|| Resolute || Gracious || Dreamer || Guarded || Pragmatic || Outspoken || (Initially) Mistrustful || Patient || Melancholic ||
In the simplest phrasing, she is a very complex being. Her strong practicality, and quiet hope and faith have served her well in her life so far, and while she is still determined and strong-willed, she would not even try to cover up her dejected spirit. In her youth, she was much more outgoing and vivacious, and she hopes that these fires have not left her soul. As it stands, spending a great portion of her concious life fighting to get back home has left her a little more weary and emotionally battle-worn than she would have liked. However, her hardened Blackwood soul has without a doubt stayed her course and kept her going on her journey. Her next layer of understanding does recognise these feelings of sadness, the constant faith and belief in her identity have not swayed, and has now passed into the kind of unflappable serenity and calmness a great many other would envy; anything could stand in her path and she would tie back her mane and get to work without the smallest hint of a grumble.
Her choice to let in some individuals took a bit of doing, her reluctance to accept help in the beginning of her great troubles probably cost her time in the long run, but being an unwell lone stranger in unknown lands put her in a difficult position. While she can be a little guarded of her inner workings, it doesnt stop her from being rather good at socialising or expressing her emotions. She can be very dynamic and talkative if youre the right person talking to her in the first place. 
motivation...
For the longest time, her only goal has been to get back home, and she has had very little motivation further than that, nor has she really thought ahead to what happens after she has rejoined Blackwood - presently leaving her somewhat lost ...

Appearance
She is a willowy and beautiful creature, and had she been born under different circumstances - such as a glenmore doe - she would have simply been pretty to look at. Having been born on the other side of the Ridgeback range, her slender figure is overlayed with powerful muscle mass that can look almost absurd and at odds with her bone structure at first glance. She considers her "usual" state to be a little more emaciated than she is currently having spent 7 years out of Blackwood, but in reality she is just well-fed for a change. Her facial profile is near grayhound-like, adding another level of slightly otherworldy-ness about her compared to many fawnlings with their straight or dished faces. She seems to have come away from her bad lot quite well, excepting a few large scars patterning her left leg, which also has a very slight hitch from a previous injury. There are a great many other nearly unnoticable scars and scrapes hiding under her sleek coat, and her enormous amount of long silky hair does well at hiding the rest. She tends to keep her mane draped and tied artistically over her back, or scooped back into a knotted bun when she needs to keep it out of the way. Her tail is similarly walking the knife-edge between absurdist beauty and practicality, with the base braids keeping her curtain of hair somewhat under control. Her rack is simplistic but pretty and dangerous in equal measure, the main tine cutting a gently curving line with a very sharp tip, and the two shorter tines following the same curves and being equally pointy. She is rather pleased of how close her few markings are to what is told of The Mother's own markings of her physical form.

record

background

Her, uh, complex nature is surprisingly well adjusted for what has happened to her in such comparatively short time. Her life very much took off in a big way right from the get-go, with a relatively early Coming of Age ritual running fairly smoothly with only minor bumps and scrapes involved. It wasnt long before she had been swept up into the loving cuddles with an aspiring warrior, and they had their own bundle of fluff on the way. When their son was born, everything again went swimmingly, with her mate Delaney agreeing to assist and mentor a raider's son only a little older than Reilley. Vera, this fawn's dam, offered to take her along on their next raiding mission to show her more of the world and get some solid experience under her belt, but it turned out to be a lot more than they bargained for. Everything was going very well until a very large Glenmore patrol scattered their raiding party across the Glenwood. Eilidh very quickly found herself alone, and due to her age and inexperience and general panic, she got herself in trouble not long after winter had passed. One terrifyingly close chase and a little bad footing later, she was swept away into the arms of the sea below the cliffs.
She had expected to join the mother, when Blackfoot Sound spat her back out on the wrong side of the water. Far too hurt and shaken to do anything, she spent a good deal of time in a blind panic, haunting Gumtree Hollow for any hint of help. She eventually got it, but was warned she shouldnt even try to cross back for at least a year. Two years later, and after several attempts with and without help, she finally drags herself back onto Glenmore soil. It takes her a painfully long time to get close to the border, taking the very long route around the back of the herd and avoiding as many patrols as possible. Finally making it back into Blackwood a year or so later, she's having worries about how to bring herself back into the picture, especially with her son ...

Offspring:  Reilley   

guestimations on how she might interact with ...
    blackwoods; They are forever her people and her home, as much a part of her as the tall woods themselves. While she doesnt necessarily think of herself as better than anyone else, she is also very proud of her status as a daughter of Úir, and considers her fellow siblings as such - Siblings.
    outsider stags; While her long time in Windborne has settled her mind to rest over some stags, she is still overwhelmingly mistrustful of a great many others - Glenmore stags in particular - whom she regards as rather disgusting in all honesty, she will never forget her ordeals in the Glenwood at the hands of the guards. If she was in the position to do something she wouldnt hesitate in lashing out if needed.
    outsider does; Again, she doesnt regard herself as any better than anyone else, but she cant help but pity the does trapped in their situations and would very much like them all to see sense and join the Blackwood ranks, although she will admit the Windbourne girls are far more outspoken than the other herds' does and can see why they dont particularly want to leave.
    all fawns; She isnt what youd peg an ideal mother to be like, as she can come across as aloof or even cold at times, but she loves her son very deeply and cant help but going a bit gooey eyed over the little balls of fuzz, even if they belong to heathens (its not their fault after all).

relationships

    Reilley
Her star, her angel, her home. Though its been a very long time - a whole other lifetime too long in her opinion - since she has seen her son, she's been carrying around her memories of him like a talisman for when she makes it home. The thought that he may not be there when she returns is one she has never allowed herself to contemplate.
    Delaney [NPC] (deceased)
Again, she has not seen him since her untimely departure, but she still holds out hope for seeing her beloved again.
