History: She came to her new home in hopes of fulfilling her duty as helper. She adores her new lady that she serves, but is nervous around Caleb. At first, she didn't understand why until he explain what he is. And of course, she panicked because he's one of the races that are considered "natural" enemies to her people. She's been told of some tales of carnivorous weres, that have hunted and eaten their people in the past. Caleb assures her that not all carnivore weres have a habit of hunting and eating her type of people (sentient beings particularly), but it doesn't completely put her at ease because even regular deers are considered distant cousins (kind of like how primates are considered distantly "related" to humans). For the most part, she is very timid around him, despite him trying to seem as nonthreatening as possible.
Not too long after she has settled in her new home that a new person arrives on the scene. It has been found that this new person is a child named Luna and is Caleb's youngest daughter no less. At first she's not sure what to think of her, but eventually she befriends her, somewhat timidly, and lets her boss and lead her around since she doesn't want to create conflict. It becomes a sort of odd friendship. She's always worrying about getting into trouble whenever Luna wants to go on her "adventures", so she tries to keep her in check without much success. Despite her unease of Caleb, she does like/respect him as he's not given her reason to be concerned. She also notes, even though he hasn't said anything, that he likes her mistress. Liking harmony, she always tries to keep everything in balance with everything and everyone around her. Luna, however, doesn't seem to want that, and has dragged her into situations she doesn't want to be in at times. She feel guilty when Caleb get protective of her because she can see Luna getting upset over it, so she tries to be extra nice and cheer her up, but it never seems to work her way.

About the race/clan: She is from a race of deerfolk from the wintry forest of the Sugar Bread Mountains. Their particular race age fairly fast within a few months and are very quick learners, but remain childlike in appearance for most of their lives until they reach about 100 years, as then they start to age and will seek to produce offspring and from that point they live up to 300 years at the most. They are fairly reclusive and peaceful creatures and tend not to travel far from their home grounds, both stable and migrating. Most will never even be seen when going through their forest homes unless one knows how to bring them out. At most one may see faint glimpses or occasionally hear sounds of movement. They strongly believe in and are very in tuned with the balance of nature and love being around natural surroundings. They are a herbivores and believe the consumption of flesh to be a sin for their people, but they will not ridicule other races for it because it is the way of nature to have carnivores, herbavores and omnivores in the food chain. Despite their youthful and delicate appearances, they are a fairly hearty race and can deal with tougher situations than expected.
Despite their somewhat animal-like appearance, they are not considered weres but a form of anthros, because their particular group does not shapeshift normally, unless they are powerful shamans. Shamans are a highly honored class, for they are most in tuned with nature and can call upon and wield it's powers. Shamans are usually made their spiritual leaders and remain with the clan, once they complete their journey, to provide guidance. The path of the shaman is a very difficult one, for it requires that one that is gifted with the essence of nature to first study what the current shaman knows and then to go out into the world alone for many years to learn and become strong. If they survive the time, they return to their clan to become the next or one of the spiritual leaders.
For the most part, their people have always been employed for either helper or guardian. The females are usually more timid and gentle in nature and are made into helpers, while the males are a bit more aggressive and have a more heartier nature and are suitable to be guardians. But not everyone can be helpers or guardians and they are not always gender specific. Only a select few are born into it and it is usually decided by the timing of the birth. For when one seeks a helper/guardian from their people, they believe if they are meant to offer their services then a child will be born. Normally it's soon after the request is made, but on rare occasions it can be before the request was made if a child is born soon before the request. If there is to be no children born within a time, then the request is denied. The one other factor that confirms that the child is meant for such a path is that their horns are transparent and shimmering. Once the horns have grown enough, a band of precious metals are set at it's base, as a sign of their destiny.
