marleaf is a main character in wayward son. he’s a faunt, which is a sort of forest dwelling deer creature. they are usually very tall, with deer hind quarters, antlers, and extremely sharp teeth.
they are known for being very territorially, big drinkers, jovial in nature, and smarter than appearances would lead you to believe. marleaf has a pet squirrel named giant, who goes with him everywhere.
originally hailing from the great stormwood forest, he’s used to hot, muggy, wet weather. doesn’t handle the cold well. marleaf is missing one of his antlers and a good chunk of his left ear. he comes off as aloof when you first meet him, but he’s ridiculously loyal to those who earn it, loves a good fight and a strong drink, and makes a lot of ill-timed jokes.
(he’s the only reason finneus ever learns to wield a sword because someone has to teach the deerling)
