Nudge is a wild thing at heart. He has been immersed with mortals for far longer than most of his fellow deities, so he's got a human touch now; but like his peers, there are things he does every once in a while that gives him away. Nudge maintains a story of being raised by a kindly old woman by the sea, and even has a rural village he frequently names when folks ask where he's from. He's terribly selfless, especially when it comes to animals, and while he is occasionally reluctant to sacrifice something for a mortal, there is no hesitation for their pets. He's always pleased when people ask him for a favor (so long as it is related to animals, anyway), and asks for no payment for his services, flat-out refuses if someone tries to insist. If he is paid for what he has done, he owes a favor to that mortal, for being an old god he is indebted to those who bring him gifts. To spare himself this, he laughs off any suggestion of payment.
No one quite knows where he lives, just that he lives somewhere in the woods. He has been in among the trees for as long as there have been trees, much like Sefina and some centuries later Lisskadell. Nudge still prefers the woods to anywhere else, and becomes twitchy when he's in too much open space. The larger cities are a nightmare to him, and he's figured a way of getting to the Mikennan castle without having to pass through any common rooms. Nudge fidgets a lot, his hands usually busy with something or another, and he's nearly always got some halfway rehabilitated animal somewhere on his person. He is friendly to everyone he meets but especially endeared to pets. He is very affectionate with his friends and calls them petnames when he can, and it's the same with his 'family'. Similar to Sefina, another older goddess, Nudge feels protective over Lisskadell for his naivety and youth. His pantheon are the only people who can call him by his true name, Bylene, as he gives only the nickname "Nudge" to the humans.

occupation;;
a witch doctor? a veterinarian? a god in disguise ??? Nudge has a way with animals, and a way with fixing them. He plays at being a regular guy who just has a calming touch, but in reality, as Nudge is the god of the beasts and woods, he can understand and converse with any animal he comes across. He is also capable of healing them, though he is often forced into slowing the process so as not to preform a miracle. He lives [somewhere] in the woods, but maintains a suite at the Mikennan court for the queen's disposal. He is sometimes called there to perform for a royal, most notably her advisers and court. He doesn't mind it; he's fascinated with Omorose and Jason, and honestly any excuse to see them is a good excuse. |

-Nudge almost always has some sort of wild animal with him -he got his nickname from all the animals that will come up and nudge him for attention or care -he rehabilitates wild ones a lot, and finds great joy in the work -Jason and Omorose both know instinctively that he is something Else -they will talk with him, much to Medea and Bahiti's shared surprise |
