Step Father: A 36-44 year old man. He is a farmhand who works hard to help his community, as he grew up with a rural masculine upbringing. He struggles to relate to his stepson, but this doesn’t stop him from trying. His comfortability for hunting leads him to kill a mysterious creature, only he sees as a deer.
Boy: In his early teens, he is a high energy person but is resourceful in this. He uses his energy to annoy his stepfather and to approach as many new situations as he can. He is a conscience kid, who is aware that people’s boundaries are thinner than they think, and he likes to push thosoe boundaries. He still, without thinking about it much, believes in the magik of the world and has an explorer’s passion for the things most consider strange. Little does he suspect he runs into a mythological being, inadvertently causing death.
