Avatar is not mine, credit goes to LenzaMoon
Name: Falina Antonia

Alignment: Hero

Age: 16

Species: White Tailed Deer

Appearance: She's tall, slender, lithe, and athletic, standing at a height of four feet eight inches tall. The majority of her body is covered in light cocoa brown fur, though the front of her torso and neck, inner side of her legs and arms, around her mouth/nose, inside of her ears, and of course the underside of her tail all bear white fur. She has cinnamon colored hair that comes down to just above her waist, and matching colored eyes. Her fingers end in black hoof-like nails that she keeps rounded to a soft point, at a length of about a third of an inch.

Clothing and Jewelery: She wears a light buttercup yellow silk tunic and short skirt, both have pastel pink trim. She also wears a gold necklace with a beautiful, and expensive looking pendant, it is shaped like a star, open in the middle, where a shape that looks like a small patch of forest is suspended. It is a six generation old family heirloom.

Personality: Adventurous, playful, friendly, loyal, and a bit competitive, Falina has a pretty well rounded personality. She makes friends easily, and cares for them all deeply. She's rather peaceful by nature, but with people like Robotnik trying to take over the world, she knows it's important to stand up for the good of the planet and it's people, and if she must fight to do that, she will, though she still tries not to kill anyone, even her enemies, unless she doesn't have a choice, or feels that they may repay her mercy by coming back to attack her again. She enjoys traveling a lot, exploring new places, and meeting new people, so she doesn't stay in the same place for long. If she meets someone she really likes a lot, she may settle down, but that hasn't happened yet.

History: Falina grew up in the forests far to the east of Radical City. Her family lives in a moderately sized village of deer, and consists of her mother Floraine, her father Faunus, and two older brothers named Tavon and Arnau. She had a nice childhood, making friends with most of the other children in her village that were around her age. Early on, she played with other girls mostly, but she wasn't going to grow up with two older brothers without being influenced by them somewhat. Before long, she could be found spending just as much time playing sports and running races with the boys as she did partaking in more 'girly' activities with her female friends. She became pretty competitive after a while, determined to show her brothers that she could do anything they could.

Her village has been left untouched by Robotnik's pollution and destruction so far, but that does not mean they have not heard of this man and his terrible actions. In fact, as soon as her parents learned of the state of the world around them because of Robotnik, they decided that Falina should join her brothers in a martial arts class taught by an elder buck in the village that knew several different styles. Falina ended up choosing Bojutsu, the martial art of using a staff weapon, at the age of eight. She learned quickly, and was soon one of the star students in the martial arts class, despite being one of the only girls her age in the class.

At the age of fourteen, Falina decided to leave home and try to find her place in the world. She bid her family and friends farewell before leaving on a long journey of exploration. She has traveled far and wide across much of the world and has seen and learned a lot of things that she would have never have been able to at home. It's been an enriching experience all the way, and she has met many different types of people along the way. Though, she has also seen the aftermath of Robotnik's activity, and as her people vowed so long ago, symbolized by the necklace she wears, which was given to her by her mother when she was ten years old, 'To protect the forest from all that may try to harm it, for as long as the stars still burn in the sky.' She would indeed do whatever she could to protect the world she calls home, along with all who share it with her.

Weapon: She has six foot long, polished ironwood bo-staff, it is decorated with a carved pattern of leaves, with a flower popping up in the pattern every so often. It is very hard and durable, the fact that Falina has been using and training with the staff for five years and it still almost looks new being proof of that, though, she does take very good care of it.

Moves:

Pole Kick: She uses her staff like a pole vault to launch herself into the air and perform a kick with both legs. It's rather powerful, despite being a somewhat quick acrobatic move, though simply knocking her staff off balance at the start would leave her crashing to the ground in a very ungraceful manner.
