So, this is strange, a full piece that isn't a commission or something to do with my kennel. Good.

Anyway, there's quite a lot behind this character, but the thing I must get down about it is.
She is a partial representative of me, Stag IS female, she identifies as female, but others identify her as male.
I myself dress in quite a masculine manner, insofar as I don't wear skirts, makeup etc etc, I wear what I feel comfortable in. I hang out mainly with males, I work in a very male oriented environment and thrive in it. And that is a lot of what Stag is. She does actually have antlers, I'm trying to decide what species of deer to take them from.
Stag is often ostracised and as a result, she hates female company, as they are the cause of it usually, and is very withdrawn in social situations in general. When in a crowd she's comfortable with though, she has the tendency to be almost too excitable, and that in itself present problems.
Only a few choose to deal with Stag in their own free time but she doubts even then they want to be around her, so she's alone most of the time, where she can't embarrass herself and just enjoy nature.

She is very anti-relationship, hates them and distances herself from interacting with involved individuals. She's never had much luck herself, and prefers to be alone. Alot of her friends left her for bucks/men and she sees them as objects of contempt, yet is often seen in the singles' company, but never flirting with them, she just likes to be around a more solid presence, she has no interest in relieving herself of her single status. And hopefully never will.

There's alot more to be said, a lot more darker topics to cover with Stag, but I may or may not to it publicly/online.
She may replace Dysfunctional eventually. But I'm not sure.

The only accurate part of this drawing of her in her markings and ruff, but not the colour of it.
