History: 

Cleft is the eldest of twin fawns, born a few minutes before his brother Djenva. In his second spring, he joined a buck group led by Soldier. 

A year later, Soldier disappeared and the buck-group split. Cleft went back to live near his parents. At two years of age, he was ready for a mate but, to his parents dismay, had no interest in seeking a partner. 

So Ronno and Wiosna matched him themselves to Tilline - after talking with the young doe, they told Cleft to go and meet her. Tilline and Cleft took to each-other immediately, becoming mates soon after. The next spring Tilline  bore Cleft a daughter, and they named her Contessa.
