- - - - - -
Appearance:
Besides her slender size, Naomi looks like most ordinary white-tail doe's. A ruddy light brown coat, a white tail and underbelly. Large ears, small snout, long legs, the ordinary. It doesn't bother her, of course. All deer have to live through this. It's nothing bad, either. Infact, she is pretty fond with her coat. If it was a bright colour, like the colour of the grass or birds in the trees, predators would catch the obvious colour in their eyes and easily hunt her down. But what makes her even more unique, to herself, is that she has a lighter red streak on her forehead, where if she was a buck, horns would grow. She has a slightly dark white underbelly and tail, and last, small black orbs. (Eyes.) To this doe, she is nothing of the ordinary.
Personality:
Naomi has no intention of being cold-hearted, evil, or rude. The only thing that will do is ruin a doe's life. Getting into fights and arguments is not worth it to her. But being a sweet, kind, and loving doe is. It's hard to suck up the unkind words of other doe's or bucks. Some of the deer make fun of her size, and repeatedly call her a runt, or a midget. Some, adore her size. They call it cute. It's still hard for her. But through her life she learned that walking away, saying nothing, or just saying a compliment back is the right thing. It's not worth the time of this doe. ''I'm not going to waste my time with heartless deer while I have a whole life ahead of me! I could die knowing I made no memories through my adult-hood!'' Naomi is also motherly and responsible. She likes to talk that way, and act that way. So don't be afraid to start conversations or just talk to Naomi.

History:
It was the middle of winter when Naomi was born. A doe named Khree became a mother that day. Snowflakes silently hit the ground as they float from the atmosphere. Luckily, Khree found a fallen tree in the forest as shelter before she gave birth. Inside the fallen tree was cold, and has specks of snow rimming the many holes on the top. When the flakes melted, water dripped onto the oak wood making tiny sounds like a leaking pipe into a small metal box. After birth Khree immediately covered her fawn while licking her clean from blood as well as keeping the hungry fawn warm. When the drops of water fell onto the back of the mother, it froze her tiny hairs together in clumps and made her even more uncomfortable. But the sun soon rose from the mountains and gave a small amount of warmth to the two freezing deer.
After one of two hours inside the fallen oak, Khree named her fawn and was able to shift around without feeling pain. Soon enough, she was out of the tree with the cleaned fawn at her hooves. The mother often reached down and nudged her fawn as it try to stand on it's long legs. It didn't take long until Naomi stood on her four delicate appendages. The fawn stood motionless for a while until taking her first step. She wobbled and stood still again. Another leg came forward. Many steps and pauses went through the process of Naomi learning to walk. She fell once, then twice, but easily got up with the help of Khree. Many minutes passed until she was fully walking without a pause or stumble. The pair of deer set off away from the birthing spot and found a warm place to rest and eat. Even though Khree had plenty of milk, she still ate. Of course she did. She was starving. While Naomi's mother ate, the slender fawn lay beside her curled up with her hooves tucked under her stomach and slept.
Two months passed since birth. Naomi was now running and even leaping. She grew and nibbled on the meadow grass. It was spring. Long green grass was available. Flowers, blossoms, reeds. Plenty to feed on. The lakes and streams were flowing with clear water without a block or slab of ice. Everything came to life. Now was actually the time she was supposed to be born. Naomi even met other deer and fawns in the meadow. Some of the fawns made fun of her size. Calling her a ''runt'' and a ''midget.'' She slunk back to her mothers feet after that one fawn commented on her size. After repeated insults, Naomi remained at her mothers hooves and talked with her instead. One day, a fawn came up to her and acted pretty friendly. She explained how rude and selfish the other fawns were and how they liked to pick on new deer to the meadow. Naomi befriended this fawn soon after they talked. Her name was Hikari. They both played and talked and grew up together. After some time growing in the meadow with her mother, Naomi was free to leave and grow up on her own. Hikari was also given the opportunity, so the two left. They didn't go together, though. Hikari wanted to find a herd, while Naomi wanted to be..a loner maybe? It didn't matter. She had a whole life ahead of her.
