I finally made a costume that I've been wanting to make for years. A faun!
   I absolutely love playing this character but I have no idea what to use as a back story/persona. I took her out for the first time at LARF and had no idea how I was going to act her out until I was pulled into the costume contest. As a last minute, spur of the moment persona I went with a wild faun captured in the woods out side of the shire. I was led onto stage with a leash, fighting the whole way. The only thing I said for the rest of the day was "mmaaaa" and "daaaaaaadddyyyy" (which was really fun with men in kilts  ;D ). 
    As it is right now she has no name or real story. This is where I was hoping for you guys to help me out a bit. I was thinking that I want to run with the mischievous side of a faun, helping or tricking humans at whim. 
     Here are a few pictures that were taken of me in costume at LARF.

Great costume, and a great line for the lads!  How did you do the hooves?  Looks like platform high heels with the heels removed.  Must be tiring to walk around in.  A+ for innovation.

The hooves are actually stilts. I posted a few pics in a topic a while back.

They have been modified quite a bit since then.
It is definitely a challenge walking around faire all day in them, but worth every moment. The kids get a real kick out of seeing a faun (and I have a blast playing one).
 I'm still having a hard time naming her though. lol
