----------Persona----------
Personality: Tobi is very, very much a quirky, original piece. She is quite a snarker and does so constantly when she can, but almost always in good nature. She loves hanging around others, and apparently isn’t easy to offend – she is a bit conceited, and knows she’s beautiful! Her confidence is through the roof, but she knows not to force it on others – she only does so jokingly. ‘Cuz she’s just that good. She’s used to getting a lot of attention and loves it, but dislikes attention for bad things, and avoids that – she grew up ogled at due to her ridiculously rare color. She flaunts it well, and has a “haters gonna hate” attitude toward does who she feels are jealous of her. She is on the arrogant side, and will brutally shoot down bucks if she doesn’t feel they match her ‘exotic’ appearance – she only likes bucks who she feels are as physically unique as she is.
She is also very bright, and doesn’t like being ignored, but tries not to say anything if she is. She doesn’t like to talk about her second herd for some reason, and bringing it up – even just in innocent curiosity about what she won’t say – can ruin her mood very, very quickly.
Likes: Being in the spot-light, her friends, Raven, being around others
Dislikes: “Haters”, being alone, seeing someone else get attention more than her, especially if they’re average, the Redriver Herd
Strengths: Being pretty, quick-witted
Weaknesses: Rude toward bucks, physically weak
Fears: Large, imposing bucks
Goals: Getting with all the real hotties of the herd xD
Voice: Allison Scagliotti

History:
Born in an eastern herd by a good number of miles, Tobiano’s mother died giving birth. A doe took her in unwillingly to nurse her alongside her own daughter, but never even thought to name the little doe. She was quite noticeably the “un-favorite,” and no one was willing to say anything. In the minds of those deer, she was a very real danger. The little fawn would bring hunters and trappers. That was a fact. So as soon as she was old enough, she was asked to leave. She understood what they meant, and simply left with honor – that was how she pictured it to console herself. Honorable. Leaving to save the herd.
After a little while, she realized she was all alone. No one came near her, and she desperately wanted interactions with others. Once, she was even brave enough to go near a horse farm – right into the pasture to graze. The horses didn’t seem to mind – she heard one speak.
“Look there. That’s… Tobiano. A tobiano deer.”
She didn’t fully understand what ‘tobiano’ meant, but the doe took it as her name instinctively.
Tobi went on until she met the Redriver herd. They had little experience with hunters, and accepted her readily.
At first, all the attention for her beautiful coat – barring her ‘not-a-house-wife’ personality – made her popular. She basked in it, survived on it – she couldn’t help herself from wanting the attention. Before long she began noting some bucks were more interesting than others – and the ones that weren’t, but flirted with her, were not Tobi’s type, so she shot them down. She went after the interesting ones, the bucks that Tobi felt were unusual and exotic.
But then, she caught the attention of the herd leader – a large, cruel buck. He wanted Tobiano, and there was nothing the doe could do to stop him. He was the most dominant animal in the herd and none dared to oppose him.
He abused her mentally, emotionally, and physically to keep her there, too afraid to leave. He mated with her, not caring whether she was in heat or not. Tobi contemplated ending it herself several times, but never had the bravery to sneak off long enough to find poisonous plants.
Eventually, a young buck helped her escape. His name was Briar. He distracted the leader long enough for Tobi to run. Briar warned her to never look back, but when she reached the crest of the hill, she did.
Briar was killed.
Tobiano ran, and from then on, she never did look back – she was afraid that if she slowed down, he’d catch her, even if he was far behind.
She eventually reached Bambi’s herd, and when she did, she begged the very first buck she could find to take her in and keep her safe. She was still under the terrified delusion that her captor was after her. This stranger buck was actually Geno, Bambi’s son.
Before long, once she realized she was safe with this herd, she calmed down, and returned to her true personality rather than her terrified confusion. She went back to her normal practices upon finding that Bambi was a fair, kind animal, and had a mate, who was also quite nice. Tobi couldn’t have been happier.
Then she met meek, innocent little Raven.
She was immediately hooked by that buck – she’d never seen one with babyspots at his age, and she went on to flirt with him in hopes of gaining his favor for the rut.
