name: daedalus
→ the meaning of daedalus is "craftsman". greek mythology: daedalus was a master craftsman and the designer of king minos' labyrinth. to keep his services, minos had him imprisoned in the labyrinth, and daedalus made wings from wax and feathers for himself and his son icarus to escape.

gender: male
why the crescent-shaped pupils?: some say that daedalus was born with crescents in his eyes because he was born on the night of a penumbral lunar eclipse on august 6, 2009. that's the legend. of course, it could just be a coincidence...
deerssert's favourite fruit: definitely watermelon ♥
personality: daedalus is a bit wishy-washy. he's incredibly open-minded and doesn't have a lot of strong opinions. some would say that he's a push-over, because he has a hard time saying no to anyone. his strongest belief is that he is a pacifist, and he doesn't believe in violence. he's scared of creating conflict and when he has upset someone, he apologizes profusely instead of creating a clever comeback. he's slow of mind and not too brilliant, which makes people think that he's a weakling. however, daedalus is very strong because of his large wings, and he's also very fast. he's awkward on his wobbly deer legs, which is why he prefers to spend his days in the air. he's not one to be very social. he's hates parties and surprises and having company, and a quiet day in is much better than a busy day out. he tends to rely on the help of others, however, because he is distastefully lazy. he doesn't complain much, but he doesn't compliment either. he is naive and easily tricked. he's very proud of his strength and is usually very arrogant, sometimes feeling the need to brag to others. he prefers to sleep during the day and stir at night, but he's usually very drowsy, clumsy, and sleepy, especially when not in flight. though he's slow to speak, he has the memory of an elephant. he forgets nothing.
strengths:
♥ something about daedalus is mysterious. not in a dark way, but in a captivating way. this scares strangers away and keeps him out of awkward social interactions.
♥ the beat of his wings has a lot of power, and he has incredible physical strength for such a small guy.
♥ daedalus has strong will-power and is likely to persist.
♥ though he is not loud, he is confident, sometimes to the point of arrogance.
weaknesses:
♥ he has a very small, quiet voice and doesn't often speak up. he's often looked over due to his small size and equally small persona.
♥ in fight-or-flight, daedalus would certainly flight.
♥ in the social spectrum, daedalus doesn't care much for others. however, he tends to seek others' help very often for personal advice and physical aid.
quirks and habits:
♥ daedalus loves to fly. because he's considerably smaller and lighter than the rest of the deerssert, he prefers to spend his time off of the ground.
♥ like a bat, daedalus sleeps upside-down.
♥ when thinking, his ears will twitch.
♥ daedalus can't stand to be dirty, and he will bend his (highly flexible) neck to clean his crest as if he were a bird.
♥ because of his small size, daedalus would rather interact with a 100% bat than a 100% deerssert.
