• He is based on a 1970s roe buck plushie I have, but I like associating him with romanticism music of the 19th century
• Old Friend supposedly doesn't have a "real" name and people who see him always refer to him simply as "Old Friend"
• He has a girlfriend; she's a roe doe named Anneliese who is based on the other plushie I have alongside Old Friend
• Although most deer are colour blind to shades of red and orange, Oldie is not—autumn is his favourite season because, like a lot of humans, he loves the colours

• He is a roe deer; his antlers do not grow long and curved like a white-tailed tail, but rather short and thick
• He has no tail—just a patch of thick whitish fur on his bottom
• The tag is on is left ear only and does not switch sides depending on which way he's facing
• He has three spots on each cheek (same shade as the orange on his back)
• His underbelly colour does not stretch all the way down his neck

Old Friend, who's known as Oldie by most of his friends, is a peaceful and loving roe deer. Although his origins are unknown, he is recognizable for his striking orange colours, strange yellow tag on his ear, and mysteriously silky fur. Oldie is very rarely mad and is never violent, always choosing to dodge any physical conflict. Those antlers of his are just for show. He is fascinated by a great many things and loves exploring his surroundings even if he's done so a million times before. His optimism tells him that there will always be something new to discover. People and creatures who have encountered him claim that he has a very calming aura; witnessing him and being in his presence makes you feel relaxed. Hunters report being unable to fire a gun at him. That aside, he is a lover of music and is particularly fond of folk music both new and traditional. It's a stellar way to lure him out into the open as he often goes searching for the source of music when he hears it.
