Autumn

**Autumn** is an anthropomorphic fawn. He's rather used to being mocked by Rusty. Autumn is selfless and spends most of his time and energy helping others with often little thanks as he has very little self-worth.

## Appearance

Autumn is a fawn with orange hair that extends to his deer-like ears. He has amber skin, brown trousers, and an orange shirt.

In the short Bad Luck Jack, he looks more like an anthropomorphic deer with a deer-like face, a tail and fur instead of bare skin (this may be due to his shapeshifting abilities). He has dark brown finger tips and the fur of his arms matches his original skin closely. He also appears to have had his legs shortened making him closer to to the height of the main five.

## Personality

Autumn is selfless and benevolent towards others. He often tries to help the more fragile students from the more overbearing bullies like Rusty. Although outwardly he appears mature and rational, in reality he is extremely insecure, suffering from low self-esteem. Autumn continues to seek recognition and thanks from others for a little help from him, showing that he needs the appreciation of others. Due to that however, this it often leads to him overextending himself. Autumn is also very sensitive and short-tempered: in *the webcomic*, when Rusty teases him about the little antlers, Autumn explodes in anger and violently scolds him. In *Bad Luck Jack*, Autumn finds it very funny how Jack teases Rusty because he has no friends.

## Relationships

### Rusty

Outside of school, Autumn and Rusty have a very strong brotherly bond, with Autumn often being helped by Rusty with the kids and animals he cares for. Given that Rusty and Camilla were raised at the same orphanage, meaning they would often hang out a fair bit when they were younger, Autumn helped the dog with a lot of his early abandonment issues. Though it did little to curb his bullying nature, given he is still targeted by him for teasing and harassment.

Despite this, Autumn isn't afraid to stand up to Rusty and usually takes it upon himself to stop Rusty from bullying others. Upon seeing Rusty as a brute when it comes to how he treats his fellow students, Autumn refuses to call Rusty by his nickname, instead always calling him by his real yet hated name of Ruben. When Jack also stands up to Rusty and proceeds to remind Rusty that he has no friends plus calling him Ruben, Autumn finds the ordeal humorous and quietly snickers yet it is still heard by Rusty.

### The Main Five

While Autumn never interacts with any of the Main Five's members directly, he is ready to stop Rusty from bullying any of them and personally found Jack's comeback to Rusty quite funny.

### Family

Autumn has three siblings, each of whom he has a certain relationship with:

* Autumn and Winter like having snowball fights.
* Autumn is just a brother to Summer. Sometimes, Summer embarrasses him.
* Spring is Autumn's sister. They seem to like talking to each other.
* Camilla is Autumn's Cousin. Despite leading very different life styles, they both care deeply for each other.

His parents, Father Sky and Mother Earth very rarely interact with any of them. Always preferring to leave them more to 'fend for themselves', with the instances that they did look over them being more so to check on their development. Regardless, they do still care for them if distantly. However, it's left most of them feeling a sense of disdain or abandonment. In particular with Autumn, he's always felt alone in his life. As even with his siblings present, he's never really had someone to teach or lead him forward as a father nor mother.

## Trivia

* According to Vivziepop, Autumn is openly gay.
* Autumn dislikes it when his ears are tugged on, pulled, or touched.
* Autumn, as well as the rest of the seasonal deer, have a strong connection towards the non-sapient deer of the Oceanica Forest. This is due to their familiar cervid nature.
