Neru is a powerful chimera who has roamed the Dreaming for centuries, often appointing himself caretaker to forgotten glades and wild places of natural glamour. Now and then, when he finds a young fae in need who has that spark of the wild, he shifts his attention and becomes their caretaker; he adopted Kylie when she was a childling emerging from her Chrysalis.
Though highly intelligent and wise in the ways of the Dreaming, he is undoubtedly a creature of the wild. He has a canine body with thick, gray-and-white fur and a long, fluffy tail. His deer-like head is patterned with swirls along the cheeks, crested with petal-esque growths on his brow, and crowned with a pair of impressive antlers. At full height, the tip of his antlers reach about four feet off the ground.
