Another answer for the the * meme.
* Blanche and his shadow don’t get along, and he has lost track of it more times than he cares to remember. The shadows of white stags aren’t really alive, but they’re mischievous, and will sneak off given even the suggestion of a chance (lucky for Blanche, white stag shadows are only really active when they’re very young- by the time a stag hits his 20s their shadows are mellow and lazy and very rarely run off). Still, despite this Blanche and his shadow have an unusually lousy relationship- the time when Blanche stumbled into Mag Mell by mistake and his shadow decided to stay behind, forcing Blanche to go through year six in school without a shadow was… well, Blanche still doesn’t like to talk about it.
There are so many interesting things about Blanche and white stags that I have not been able to showcase in Skin Deep. Every day I am honored that Sfé let me use is characters in Skin Deep yaaay.
