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.

The aforementioned faithful steed of Mielikki is a demigoddess unicorn called Lurue.
One big deviation away from the core setting counterpart is that Lurue is female, and can take an uber-hot humanoi 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.
