I’d like to play the Fawn.

NnBob, you never struck me as being the fawning type...

"NnBob, you never struck me as being the fawning type...

In the movie I saw, the Fawn seemed more like a Pan spirit. That's the one I can identify with.

From a Wiki article linked from Pan ...

"In Roman mythology, fauns are place-spirits (genii) of untamed woodland. Romans connected their fauns with the Greek satyrs, wild and orgiastic drunken followers of Bacchus (Greek Dionysus). However, fauns and satyrs were originally quite different creatures. Both have horns and both resemble goats below the waist, humans above; but originally satyrs had human feet, fauns goatlike hooves. The Romans also had a god named Faunus and goddess Bona Dea, who, like the fauns, were goat-people."

I'm not sure I get all the distinctions between them, but it has a certain appeal to me.

Wine, anyone?
