 Name: Vanmoriel (Vahn-Moh-Ree-Elle)
Meaning: Dark beauty
Breed Harpy (mutant hippogryph)
Quote: "If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies."
Currently: Nesting in her basket!
Herd: Vanmoriel is a member of The Flock. She currently holds no rank as
she has not yet emerged from her basket and completed her training.
Familiar: None yet.
Personality: Vanmoriel shares her fathers' love for art and his desire to
always do better. However, where Taarab's passion is with metal work,
Vanmoriel's lies with canvases. She paints using paints she makes herself
from minerals, plants, flowers and other items mixed with egg yolks and
water. As a child, her painting started off as simple designs; but the talent
was obvious. Vanmoriel spends time with her father, learning simple metal-
working skills and while her jewelry isn't as skilled as her parents', she puts
effort and love into everything she makes.
One day, when the wind blew leaves onto a painting, Vanmoriel discovered
the wonders of collages. She began to experiment with them; using flowers
she pressed herself, leaves, feathers and other items she could get her
claws on. She mixed sap and water as glue, harvesting the sap herself.
Vanmoriel has a strange fascination with butterflies; something that started
as a child. She finds them beautiful, their movements full of grace and an
innocence that only a child could understand. She catches butterflies,
keeping them in cages until she is able to successfully paint them before
letting them go.
Like her mother, Vanmoriel is proud. However her pride lies in her art.
She doesn't believe anyone else is on her level, something that she has
believed since foal hood and something that was encouraged by her mother.
Her appearance is not something she worries about. She's often covered in
paint, with leaves and flowers sticking out of her hair. Vanmoriel has an array
of jewelry, usually items traded for her art. She adorns herself with these
without any real thought in how they fit together. She has a fondness for
bright colours, especially blues, greens and purples; though if it's bright
she'll wear it.
Dancing is something Vanmoriel leaned, but not something she has a
passion in. Her mind is too busy off with her paints and brushes to learn
intricate dance moves. However, she admires her mothers dancing greatly;
loves the grace and beauty. She often paints her mother dancing.
Vanmoriel has a passion for beauty, but rather than collect such things, she
paints them. She will not paint anything that she deems 'ugly', not finding
inspiration for it.
When it comes to males, Vanmoriel's fascination with butterflies will make
her more inclined towards flutters. Vanmoriel does not paint stallions,
besides her father and so when she finds a male she is inspired enough by
to paint, she will deem him worthy enough for breeding.
Vanmoriel is a little withdrawn, not because she's shy, but because she's
often in her own world. Despite this she is extremely loyal to the flock, her
family in particular and will do anything asked of her without any problems.

 Born to Vanya and Taarab, Vanmoriel is the
youngest of three daughters. For a small part of her foal-hood, Vanmoriel
was looked after solely by her mother; something Vanya did to protect her
children from the teasing she endured. However, as the girls started to
venture out and make friends, Vanya realised they would not suffer the same
fate as she and allowed them to be in the nursery with the other foals;
though she kept a close eye on them.
Vanmoriel participated in classes the same as every other female foal, but
she didn't excel as other's did. Not to say she was stupid; she simply did
enough to pass and left it at that. The classes bored her, so she didn't
bother. As she got older, she developed a love for arts and craft, the same as
her parents. She tried her hand at metal work, but eventually moved towards
canvases; Gluing leaves on a wooden backing to make them. She eventually
discovered how to make her own paints and glue.
An adult now, Vanmoriel has taken on the role of forager. Mostly so she can
collect supplies for her painting and collages; flowers, berries, dirt and leaves
for the most part. However, she still collects herbs and food for the flock.
