Idea: Maybe they collect jewelry, and when they found one that ended up being extra pretty, it broke? I don't know -u-'

one time that this komo was disappointed:
Spring - a celebration of life after a long, gloomy winter. The trees awaken with fresh new leaves, the snow starts to melt, and the bears emerge from hibernation; with cubs, much like the rest of the animals who welcome their offspring during this time of year. New life is brought into the world.
But with life comes death, something he was fully aware of. A komohaert with a youthful, yet tired face makes his rounds around the lake where the critters of the forest gather. He has seen many creatures in their dying moments, how the spark of life dulls from their eyes as life slips away from their bodies. He would hold the once-proud stags, their frail and weak bodies that didn’t quite make it through the winter, the fatally injured rabbits who had hopped for the last time – but it was never saddening. Rather, it was peaceful; he would coo the frightened creatures and keep them company so they wouldn’t feel so alone when the time came for them to say farewell. He would be humming a song, stroking their faces gently, talking to them. The feeling of loneliness was perhaps more scary than death itself, and he had made it his life mission to help the animals as best he could, for he knew how frightening it was to feel all alone.
Death was a celebration to him. It comforted him how animals who had lived a long life and were tired would finally ease up in his embrace with a peaceful sigh. They would be rid of pain, of any worry; and he, who was left behind, could remember the ones who had passed away so they were never truly forgotten.
Perhaps that’s why it was so hard for him to accept the passing of one certain pair of deer that he had led into the afterlife that spring.
He knew the doe – he had watched her grow up alongside her mother, who he had laid to rest a few years back. That spring she was due to have her own babies. He was making his rounds around the lake, looking out for the animals, when he heard the doe cry out. He rushed over, following the sound, but he would be just a few moments too late.
Before him laid a frail, shaky fawn and its mother who was clearly in a lot of pain. The pressure of labour had worn her out, and she was too weak to rise to her feet and tend to her newborn fawn. He saw what he had to do, as it was clear neither of them would survive. He sat there for hours, gently stroking their necks, humming and talking to them. The first one to go was the doe – her eyes dulled, just like he had seen so many times before, and with a sigh her body eased up and she was free from her pain. He looked down at the fawn, cooing it as its big eyes gazed up at him.
“Fear not my child, for death is not so cold.”
The fawn almost looked like it smiled at him before it, too, faded away. He looked at their bodies – they looked at peace, resting together in the tall grass. But he didn’t feel peaceful. He had nothing to remember the poor fawn by. The fawn, which didn’t get to see the joys of life, and the doe, which would never truly get to experience motherhood. He felt like they had been cheated out of everything that life is celebrated for. Left with the feeling of disappointment and sadness, cursing how cruel and unfair life was, he stood up and walked away. For the first time, he felt unhappy. For the first time, he shed a tear.

one time that this komo was disappointed:

I... look funny. I've been told that for a long, long time. Even my mom would tell me that, too! I didn't look like her, or dad, or my sister.. they thought it was weird. But they didn't mind, really! Honest! They're my family, how could they? Just because they're bright, and the colors of flowers, it doesn't mean I have to be too! Mom, dad, and even big sis loved me anyway, I know it. And they still do. No matter what anyone may tell you!
I'm pretty big, but honest, I'm still as happy go lucky as I used to be!
Oh, whoops! I got a little distracted, haha! I'll get back on track now, pinky promise!
You wanted to know about one time I was disappointed? Like I was the actual one being disappointed, or the disappointment? Hmm... well that's a really hard question! But I've got an answer for you, and I bet it will suit you just fine.
You may have noticed, though I talked about my family, you don't see them around... I'm going to tell you why.

My family and I, we're nomads. As long as I can remember, we were always moving around, and our home was wherever we made it! See, home isn't necessarily a place, it's just what you love most. As long as you have that, you're home. The first place I remembered living was a swamp. Mum, dad, and sis all stuck out there, but I just blended right in! But my family didn't like it, so we had to move on out. It didn't bother me though, and I loved the forest we ended up at next! It was teeming with wildlife, and there was always an adventure around, so I was never lonely even when my family went out foraging. Someone had to stay and watch the place we'd sleep, after all. I made a friend there, and hopefully I meet him again someday... it was sad when we had to move. But there's no way I won't see him again, I know we were destined to be true friends.
The final place we moved to is where you found me now, in this huuuuge field! There aren't many flowers here, so it wasn't quite what my family was looking for, but the grass is so tall we can easily hide, so it's never bothered us. When we got here, my family thought this was a great place to stay, and I immediately added it to my home- after all, I was with my family, and there was always some food to forage for, what more could I ask for? Still, my family was determined to find the perfect meadow for them, though they didn't want to lose this field. Mom and Dad came up with a plan. They'd take sis, and go look for the meadow, while I'd stay here.
This is where I talk about the disappointment... it was about a month after they left. I was doing fine, like I said, there's a lot of food here, seeds and the like, for foraging. But... I had the thought that they weren't coming back.. I've never been more disappointed... I'm terrible, aren't I? Thinking my family, my home, wouldn't come back, I was ashamed and disappointed in myself the moment I had the thought. Of course they're coming back for me!
It's been about a year now... but I know they're coming back. They have to...
We're family.

one time that this komo was disappointed: he does his best to keep everything clean and be nice and good, but it always, always disappoints and stings just a lil bit when people call him not manly enough. the only time that he can really remember being disappointed in it when it was done by his friend.
