When the answers come, she will find herself having to reevaluate what she already knew and will become shocked by the truth. Ëala is a kind soul, and follows her priestess path with enthusiasm.
Father: Ungwe Nique is as cold as the frosty snow covered mountains of his homeland; his heart a frozen muscle that he believes will only hinder him in interpersonal relationships. As years passed, the stallion has added layers of ice to the one organ that would allow him to feel, to love. He did this because he knew he could not handle the pain of another heartbreak when someone he loved abandoning him again. He has many internal and emotional scars; friends are a bitter word to the stallion, he does not allow anyone to become close enough to even be considered a friend. His only true friend is the stuffed bat that rests upon his rump, it is his precious treasure.
In his frigidness, Ungwe appears to be aloof and uninterested in the lives of others; he cannot get himself to care for they will only betray him in the end. He is haughty in his attitude and has illusions of grandeur, and at times he is able to convince himself that he had accomplished great feats in his life. Of all the great exploits of his lies, he works alone, for he believes forming attachments to any living creature is a useless task to Ungwe and considers himself to be above friends.
Deep down, lying dormant beneath his frosty exterior, is a stallion who is desperately alone and looking for a friend, for someone to love him and melt his frozen tundra of a heart. This stallion wants to have companionship and conversations with other living creatures. All these secrets are only known by one, and the stuffed bat cannot and will not tell, the best keeper of secrets.
He holds within him a deep guilt for being the one to cause the destruction of his herd and he wishes to rectify his mistakes by searching for Frosted Spider survivors and creating his own herd. His frosty exterior has begun to melt as he begins to take responsibility for his actions and the pain he has kept locked up deep inside.
