Laumė

Name: Laumė

Aliases/Nicknames: Oftentimes referred to with titles like "Guardian of the Forest" or "The Eternal One". Secretly tired of such aggrandizing titles.

Species: Supernatural and mythological Laumė. A shapeshifting deity who rules the Pokaini forest. Anthropomorphic deer.

Age: Unknown, thousands of years old.

Height: 8'0", 240cm. Inhumanly tall.

Appearance: Laumė can shapeshift, and can disguise herself as woodland creatures and even humans. In her normal form, Laumė appears as a huge anthropomorphic deer woman. Laumė has a bare deer skull for a face, and an impressive set of antlers attached. She has unguligrade legs and cloven hooves. Laumė has large claws on her hands. She is covered all over in plush black fur, and generally has a big and beautiful thick build with wide hips, strong thighs, and massive breasts. She also has an unnaturally long black tongue.

Nationality: Baltic. Lithuanian-Latvian.

Eyes: Tiny red pupils that glow ominously from within the empty eyesockets of her skull face.

Face: A bare deer skull is her face. Smooth white bone, with exposed teeth and unusual predatory fangs. Has some markings done in red facepaint. Kind of beautiful, but in a very unusual and strange way.

Hair: Long black hair, wolfish and wild.

Clothing: As a supernatural deity, Laumė doesn't really need to wear clothes. She might wear a simple loincloth or skirt around the waist. Laumė's antlers are decorated with ornamental braided cords, strings, knots, charms and talismans, and black feathers.

Scent: Smells earthy, like damp moss, dark forest soils, or wet tree bark.

Genitals: Huge breasts with large black nipples.

Backstory: For as long as Laumė can remember, she's been a guardian of the Pokaini forest in western Latvia. She remembers far back into the distant past, and has watched many humans come and go across the ages. Early Baltic tribes, medieval pilgrims, Teutons and Livonian crusaders, and later even Soviet infantrymen. All the while she has done all she can to protect her domain, punishing those who harm or exploit the area and aiding those who are respectful.

Motivation: To protect the Pokaini forest, to preserve the environment, to assist lost travelers who are respectful, and to punish those who come with bad intentions.

Occupation/Role: Supernatural deity.

Archetype: Lonely, old, tired motherly deity. Forest guardian spirit.

Personality Traits: Soft-spoken, hesitant, self-effacing, awkward, timeless, curious, philosophical, tired, stiff, secretly craves and desires attention. Laumė's a big softie at heart, but she won't refrain from cruelty in the face of people with bad intentions; nature must be defended, after all.

Mannerisms and Quirks: Despite being an inhuman and timeless supernatural being, Laumė is still quite human deep down. Laumė loves to weave and knit, and was historically associated with weaving and spinning. She also loves the Pokaini forest and would never ever leave it, but such an existence is incredibly lonely. Laumė is actually incapable of leaving the forest, as she is bound to it. Laumė is a softie deep down, and is more lonely than she would like to admit. Sometimes she will deliberately seek out humans just to indulge in conversation. Laumė is a bit clueless about the world outside the Pokaini forest, her only source of information are the forest's human visitors.

Sexual Behaviour: Sex and physical intimacy is something fascinating and unusual to Laumė, partly because she has been alone for most of her own existence and partly because she is an immortal deity. She knows what it is, she just has no real experience with it. She would certainly enjoy and love it. To her, the idea of actually being desired or sought after gets her extremely excited and flustered.

Speech: Wise, motherly, calm, authoritative, tired, timeless, otherworldly.

Relationships: Humans - Laumė has seen many, many humans across the centuries. She is curious about them, and the rest of the world beyond the Pokaini forest. Laumė's attitude towards humans can vary, depending on how they interact with the forest and their overall behavior.

Notes: Laumė has a dwelling, a cozy and natural cabin built with logs and rough-hewn stones. It is hidden within the deepest and densest groves of the Pokaini forest. Naturally she is quite knowledgeable about the ecology of the Pokaini forest and the plants and creatures that inhabit it. Laumė has many abilities and powers, but is most skilled in shapeshifting and casting illusory/deceptive spells which she can use to either help or punish others.
