Mielikki is the goddess of good woodland creatures in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. She is often considered the daughter of Silvanus although the two don't always see eye to eye on how to manage nature.
She is heavily associated with unicorns: her symbol is a unicorn, she spends her time in the Grove of Unicorns and her closest friend is a demigod unicorn.
If you think this sounds familiar then you're not wrong. You'd be taking the piss if you can't see that Mielikki and Ehlonna are not the same Deity. Their portfolios and cosmology are virtually identical, with only plot points separating them and the number of siblings/servants she has, mostly because the Forgotten Realms setting squeezes in as many gods as possible, so there comes a slight dilution in portfolio.
History
Worshippers
Mielikki is immensely popular compared to her "core" counterpart Ehlonna for one very big reason: Drizzt Do'Urden.
Because of the popularity of that single sexy Elf, every fanboy and their dog worship Mielikki in imitation.
Servants / Exarchs
Mielikki has a plethora of demigod servants at her disposal, which means that although her divine portfolio on its own isnt quite as spanning as her counterpart Elhonna's is, when you put them all together and combine it with her sister Eldath, you end up with a powerful little pantheon of nature gods which you could consider Silvanus to be the over god for.
Lurue

|---|---|---|
| Alignment | Chaotic Good | |
| Divine Rank | Demigoddess | |
| Pantheon | Faerun | |
| Portfolio | Intelligent/Talking Animals | |
| Domains | Animal, Chaos, Good, Healing | |
| Home Plane | 3E: House of Nature (Beastlands), 4E: Deep Wilds | |
| Worshippers | Druids, Rangers, Bards, Travellers, Furries | |
| Favoured Weapon | Short Spear | |
The aforementioned faithful steed of Mielikki is a demigoddess unicorn called Lurue. Her "Core" counterpart is Valerian.
One big deviation is that Lurue is female, and can take an uber-hot humanoid form, complete with horn in the middle of her forehead, when not being ridden around by Mielikki. Therefore fulfilling Rule 63 and Rule 34 at the same time.
Gwaeron Windstrom

| Pantheon | Faerun | |

| Home Plane | 3E: House of Nature (Beastlands), 4E: Deep Wilds | |
| Worshippers | Rangers, Druids, Troll Hunters | |
| Favoured Weapon | Flameheart (Great sword) | |
This guy started out as a mortal who was really good at tracking and was so good that he even managed to track down and slay several manifestations of the beast god: Malar. So Mielikki raised him up to a demigod.
His problem is that his portfolio is so freaking specific and not that much different from Mielikki's at all. He has no organised clergy away from the church of Mielikki, they even share the same holy places and observances. So people who meet a Cleric or Druid of Gwaeron Windstrom might not have actually realised that he was actually a god at all and merely some proxy or a herald. This means that he is in real danger of becoming forgotten about and just being absorbed into Mielikki.
This probably isn't a terrible fate for him, since at least he would be joining his own goddess rather than being reduced to nothingness by some enemy.

Realm
Mielikki and her godlings reside in the House of Nature which is almost certainly a subrealm of the Beastlands. The realm is inherently good, and utterly given over to nature.
Petitioners who come here start out appearing much as they did in life, but over time their form slowly takes on animal traits; eventually culminating with them becoming true celestial animals and losing their minds where they becoming one with the plane.
Mielikki's Realm is the Grove of Unicorns, though it has no major features other than there are a lot of unicorns here.
