Kieran - male satyr aesthetic, character profile, and story ideas (Patreon)

(Apologies for double posting this - mobile posting is a bit of a lottery for success on Patreon, and the formatting was weird. I can’t edit posts on mobile once they’re up, just delete, so this is take two)

Kieran is a relatively big satyr (ie not 3ft tall and cute). He’s is a grumpy and shy boy, who keeps himself to himself. He’s the only one in his small, nomadic, forest-dwelling herd with black fur on his lower half, and that’s perceived by his kind as really bad luck or whatever, so he’s always been an outsider in his herd. He’s a really good tracker, so he’s useful.

The reader needs to get through the forest before winter sets in, but there are no more caravans travelling this season, so, stubborn and determined, and despite the kindly mino townsguard’s advice, she sets off alone.She encounters the herd after perhaps a couple of days alone, and they agree that she can travel with them since they’re headed in the direction she wants to go.

They’re wary of humans, however, and Kieran HATES humans because they killed his father for his horns when Kieran was young (he also has the same pretty horns and black fur as his dad).

Cue the reader and him gradually falling for each other as they travel through the autumnal forest. The reader delays her journey, spending more time with the herd, making tentative friendships, and autumn turns to winter...

Kieran touch starved and actually really shy and sweet under his cold exterior...
