luna milacek

a young shepherd of magical animals living in the north-east mountains. shy, but hardworking and always willing to talk to people...! just that there's not really many around, which is ok too. loves reading about faraway lands, some real, some made up. would love to write a book someday too. he does have some insecurities about himself, namely that his heritage is hard to trace - he was raised by his grandparents, both elves, and neither of them have horns. he doesn't know where they came from, but he was born with them... it's not that anyone would be cruel towards him for it, but not knowing makes him feel a little self-conscious.

luna is a very diligent and hardworking young man, often staying up late into the night and waking up early in the day taking care of their herd. they love cooking and welcoming people in to their home, so long as the guests ask first. they're always plagued with fear and doubts about this though - what if this one will be the last guest, if you get what i mean? but luna's good heart always overtakes any worries, and he continues to welcome travelers in for a bowl of soup before they head on their way.

personality

• level-headed - despite how anxious and near-paranoid they can be, they always try to take a step back and look at situations as objectively as possible so that they can make the right decision
• shy - they're very softspoken and timid, a veritable shrinking wallflower
• hardworking - they love getting absorbed into their daily tasks and duties, feeling a sense of calm content pride when they finish a particularily tough one
• prepared - they've always got some kind of tool or trinket tucked away on their person for almost any situation
• guarded - they can be rather closed off, hard to approach or talk to, often to the detriment of any potential friendships...

design notes - luna was designed by lali on toyhouse!

• they're a bit thin, but have medium-ish breasts and a bit of a belly, though with their style it can be hard to tell on either front
• their hair is asymmetrical and a bit choppy - they like to just cut it whenever they feel like it
• they usually wear skirts with shorts underneath, and have a lot of leather clothing (though not like modern, more punk-ish leather)
• they have small horns, a trait that was passed down their family for generations, one that many of them were self-conscious of and thought of as a curse
• they generally dress in rather mismatched, piece-y fashion with lots of layers and different patterns
