gl-1492219-1773140333.jpgEven if she has not arrived yet into Veilwood Haven, the place has already a cabin prepared for that doe.
That cabin simply looks like her actual home, a small hut, seemingly looking like an abandoned woodworker's shed. Not too big, just enough to hold a bed, a small table with some stools and a cupboard to put properly away the few things this doe owns. It's a wooden hut with a stone hearth, that will contain a constant fire as it will be used to heat up the place and the water needed for the numerous teas and infusions the doe makes.
There will be drying plants over the fire place, a kettle and some cooking utensils, a hot stone to bake some cookies or other, even some decorations might join the plants above the fire place. Lizbeth is a deer and lives in and from the forest, she doesn't need any modern commodities, no electricity, no running water (well if that could be possible she wouldn't say no), no TV, nothing, only the possibility to watch nature and the stars.
Outside the hut it's different, Lizbeth loves flowers and to cultivate vegetables. Lizbeth needs a garden, where she can be in private, all alone watching the stars in her most simple outfit, her pelt. So for sure there will be flowers all around, especially Jasmine, Hortensia and most important, white roses, brilliant white roses that remember her Angel, her Mom.
Lizbeth loves to take a bath from time to time, normally she goes for a swim in the crystal clear lake not far away. So there will be a bathtub, outside, big enough to hold two persons or just to gather rainwater for her beloved plants.
This would be Lizbeth little Eden, her cabin in the Veilwood Haven.
Anyone would be free to visit her, have a tea or just 'rant' about anything.
Lizbeth is enchanted of her new home, this one being directly invaded by a stormy little girl.
Yes, Lizbeth doesn't live alone anymore, Elenore the little rabbit-girl is now part of the doe's life. So the two of them settle into this home.
The hut is very welcoming, warm and cozy, just the right place for those two girls to have their fun. The open hearth is quickly heating all things up and giving the small house the wanted atmosphere. Wildlife isn't far, and this is what the deer needs, hear or see the animals of the forest, if it is that cute fox trotting through the garden or even some deer fawn hesitantly showing the tip of its nose.
Vaclar the mayor is very kind to provide anything both need, but Lizbeth still loves her independency and will continue her little trading of herbs.
Lizbeth has gathered a unique collection of herbs, she can use for different purposes. With the help of the town herbalist, she got much knowledge of plants, if it isn't millennium old knowledge of deer-kind.
As soon as possible will Lizbeth bring her belongings to her new home. For sure will Max lend a hand.
Lizbeth’s spirit invades now this house, all her belongings find their place, dried herbs in bouquets and all kind of different ones in burlap/hessian pouches. Her typical clothing, simple linen outfits, wide or ample, as Lizbeth can’t stand any clothing tight on her fur. This means she never wears underwear. A few very personal souvenirs are delicately posed on specific places.
Her sheepskins are quickly spread at the open hearth, she will surely fall asleep more often on those.
A bedroom, for the first time in her life, the doe has her own bedroom, her own bed, her own closet, what a luxury!! Even a nice nightstand with a special place for her bracelet.
Lizbeth is enchanted, it’s almost too much luxury and she might become spoiled…. as even there is running water, a faucet where water comes out almost magical. A kind of a kitchen with a sink and working space, cooking will still be done in the fire. But running water also means a bathroom, a real bathroom with a tub and something she almost never ever used, a toilet… Lizbeth has to giggle at that weird aparillo where you do your -you-know-what- and just flush it down the drain. She has always used the forest.
Yet even with a bathroom, Lizbeth’s beloved tub finds its place outside, so she can still splash around in her bubble bath when she wants.
The little Eden comes to life, two girls are settling into a secure home, guarded by the community.
It's been some time now that this doe is living at Veilwood Haven. She has found her marks and feels really safe. There are some things she misses, but instead she found friendship and caring people. No, she won't anymore walk around without clothing, decency is more respected, especially as this little girl, called Elenore, is constantly around. The two girls have found their home and both are enjoying the place. Yes, sometimes sadness invades the two of them, missing both their parents, but then they cheat each other up with silly plays and sometimes even stupidities.
One of those innocent insanities of both went like this: Elenore and Lizbeth had both a rather bad day, they didn't feel good and the doe had to find something to cheer them both up, so she decided simply to play a very very childish game, ding-dong ditching. Lizbeth knew that it can be annoying for the victims, but she hoped that this 'innocent' stupidity would make her and the girl laugh. And they did, they had both a blast, laughing loudly all the rest of the day. Some inhabitants of Veilwood Haven even participated in the game and some gathered at Lizbeth's place, laughing and joking further. Many friendship was tied that day and made the two girls feel way better. It was that day when Henry went astray, Henry wanted to ditch too. But as Henry isn't the fastest on foot, not like some stealthy deer, he had to hide not to get caught. Vaclar might have noted that day as special in his diary.

Max has quickly finished making the strawberry field, he even got inspired and made a wooden sign at the entrance of the field that says: "Strawberry Fields Forever" and in smaller letters "Nothing to get hung about" (relation to existing expression is pure intentional). Slowly those delicate plants grew and flowered, just to produce the most sweet berries existing. Lizbeth takes a lot of care about the strawberries and is always happy when she can over some harvested fruit to anyone. Of course did Elenore get the biggest honor to eat the very first ripe strawberry! And that nobody doubt about it that it was the first, there was no little mischievous girl that ate a berry before official harvest!! (yeah sure...)
