Homebrew Feywild Fawn Species Details

Family and Friends

They live in small herds. They share the land with the other forest animals, and often work together to provide a safe location for all creatures. They have been known to save people that have been knocked unconscious in the woods, and once cured they leave without a trace, with sweet music riding on the breeze. When a fawn’s companions demonstrate that they trust him or her, the fawn learns to extend the same trust to them. And once a fawn gives someone loyalty, the fawn is a firm friend or ally for life.

Fey Bloodline

Fawns are derived from human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their fey heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Fawns have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes: some have curling horns like a ram, some have antlers like deer or elk. They have thick tails, four to five feet long, which lash or coil around their legs when they get upset or nervous. Their eyes are much like a human's, but with an unending variety of colours. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include pastels of green, lavender, pink, and blue. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, can come in a variety of colours.

Appearance

With their frail humanoid bodies, deer-like faces, and luscious antlers, these creatures are the definition of beauty. They range in height from 4'5" to 6'5", average being about 5'5". These antlered humanoids live in forest kingdoms, hidden away amongst the undergrowth. Decorating themselves with nature-themed clothing and accessories, Faun accept all living creatures are part of their society.

Religion and Worship

Fawn worship the White Stag, and see him as a sign of protection. Very few have ever come across him, but those that do are often left with blessings to help them in their adventurers. Those who purposely harm the White Stag are cursed, and often slowly lose their sanity. The White Stag is a sign of life itself, and foliage is often healthier and more luscious when the Stag is nearby.

Mutual Fascination

People tend to be fascinated by fawns, curious of the Feywild and its inhabitants. The reality, though, is that a fawn’s bloodline doesn’t affect his or her personality to any great degree. Years of dealing with constant interest does leave its mark on most fawns, and they respond to it in different ways. Some choose to live up to the chaotic stereotype, but others are virtuous. Most are simply very aware of how people respond to them. After dealing with this fascination throughout youth, a fawn often develops the ability to overcome prejudice through charm or intimidation.
