Robelia's Story

To say Robelia comes from a big family would be a massive, massive understatement! At the time of her birth, Robbie, as she was affectionately known, was the twelfth child of doting parents Yei Umeko and Grencia, the Alpha and Protector of the Summit Herd in the high mountains. With eleven older siblings, even with several of them living beyond the herd lands, Robbie never lacked for Soquili interaction; whether sibling, niece, nephew, herd mate, or familiar, there was always someone for her to play with. However, her favorite Soquili of all had always been her daddy, Grencia. Though her father had an important role in the herd hierarchy, he had always been available for Robbie, taking her over the herdlands and teaching her important things, such as duty to family and the herd, and the various responsibilities of the different herd members. Always the diligent student, Robbie soaked up this knowledge like a sponge!

The Summit was a large herd, with numerous important tasks to be done. But since her earliest memories, Robbie knew exactly what role she wanted to fill, when she was finally big enough and old enough to really be of use to the herd: that of her father, and her oldest brother, and many of the other herd members: border guard! She held the herd sentinels in awe; trained in the art of combat, the various guard patrolled the edges of the herdlands, keeping dangerous invaders at bay and keeping the herd itself safe. They were big strong, tough, and incredibly impressive, especially to a small, imaginative filly. One day, she declared, she would be among their number!

There was just one minor problem with that wish: no females were allowed to serve as guards, and never had been. Though her parents were in many ways easy-going and flexible, on this Grencia had never once budged. As she grew and came to understand more what she would be facing in her desire to be a guard, she knew she would have to be doubly, triply, 100% more sure than anything if she had any hope of success. So in the meantime, she threw herself into the more 'feminine' pursuits of the slop, learning herblore at her mother's side, and healing from her oldest sister in law. She learned how to find food in rough seasons, how to safely store the food for consumption in lean times; what barks and roots were edible, where to find drinking water in a frigid winter day. All very useful, all very important...

All very tedious and dull.

Robbie's biggest test came during the dark days when the massive Kalona herd invaded the Kawani lands. Fortunately, the Summit itself was unaffected; it's location high in the mountains either escaped the interest of the Kalona, or else was just more trouble than it was worth. During the crisis, the borders to the Summit were closed and the herd moved into the safety of the vast underground cave system that pocked the region. Robbie, along with her mother and many others, was busy tending to refugees, maintaining food stores, and applying what first aid she could. But the whole time, her thoughts were out beyond the safety of the caves, thinking of her father and the other guards out in harms' way protecting the rest of them. She couldn't help but rage at the unfairness of it all, that she, who wanted to be one of them, was kept inside and cossetted like a foal instead of allowed to stand up and prove herself.

She kept these thoughts to herself, however, until the crisis had passed. However, she felt that the time had finally come for her to declare herself; she felt confident that her experiences had proven that she was not suited to a life of gathering and tending. So at the earlier opportunity, she sought out her father to tell him what she felt.

The meeting...did not go well. Though Robbie had always known it was a risky proposition, she had still harbored a small hope that her father would agree to at least give her a chance. However, Grencia had been unequivocal in his refusal, firmly squelching any hope she might have. Worse, with Grencia so adamantly against the idea, there was no way any other border guard would be willing to work with her. So, thwarted in her wish to join the guards, Robbie at once moved on to plan B: external training.

She knew one of her older brothers, a stallion by the name of Fenghuang, had been trained as a warrior, but that he had long since left the Summit lands. In fact, she'd never even met him! But she knew that he, like Robbie herself, was a regular Soquili, lacking the wings that so many of their sibling possessed. She also knew that he, like she, took after their mother, having a deeper, redder coat. So it seemed logical that she would know him, when she found him. And find him she would!

So she set off down the mountain to the Kawani lands below, confident that with patience and persistence, she would reach her goal. She felt bad about sneaking away, but didn't want to risk her father flat-out forbidding her to try; one day, she would return to the Summit, but in the meantime, she would truly be putting her skills to the test!

~~~

Since leaving the Summit, Robbie has been making the most of her time 'in the world'. Though she still isn't fond of the 'feminine pursuits', she now concedes it's a good thing her mother taught her so much about edible plants and food collection, and first aid. She has yet to find her brother, or even to get close, but she remains confident and buoyant, and is working on self-training in the meantime. She has also acquired a companion since coming down the mountain; a well-timed rescue saved Shambles the chicken from becoming fox food, and the two had since established a familiar bond. They make an odd pair, the slim, wiry mare and the short, squat chicken, but that seems to be the story of Robbie: expect the unexpected!

Robbie met up with Shambles a few weeks into her sojourn into the Lowlands, when she discovered the chicken in a dangerous situation with a very toothy fox. One rescue later, the two got to talking and Shambles decided Robbie, and her quest, sounded like interesting things to be around. Having no complaints with the idea of company, Robbie invited him to join her and the rest was history. Although Shambles isn't much use for mobility or action, his dry wit and wry observations have done Robbie a great service as far as entertainment goes!

Saffron's Story

Safron is a child born of wishes. Her parents, a mated pair of stallions, were resigned to the fact they would never have biological children of their own. Although some pairs in their situation had sough out surrogates to carry foals on their behalf, after a lot of talking and soul searching, Safi and Duo had decided that such a path was simply not for them. They had each other, as well as Safi's adopted daughter Saiena, so it wasn't as if life would ever be empty. Still, they, and Duo in particular, couldn't help but wish things were different.

One day, without either stallion understanding why or how, their wishes were heard. Heading out of the cave one morning for his typical dawn stroll, Safi nearly tripped over a basket that lay in the entrance to their cave home, a basket with coloration oddly similar to his and Duo's. After a bit of hunting around for parents or guardians that never appeared, Safi and Duo began to wonder if maybe this basket wasn't destined for them, a gift from the spirits themselves. When the basket opened to reveal Saffron, a dainty little filly with wind wings, icy blue socks, two tone hair, and a tan coat, they could only marvel and rejoice. She was everything they had wanted for themselves!

However, with love can also come other things. Duo in particular rejoiced in their little daughter, and he was determined to keep her safe and secure for her entire life. Unfortunately, as a new parent with no family connections of his own to draw on, Duo's definition of 'safe' became Saffron's definition of ''smothered'. Since her earliest days out of the basket, she had displayed an energetic and independent personality; she wanted to experience the world for herself first hand, not have it described to her. Pairing that sense of adventure with a pronounced amount of impatience, even as a filly she chafed against what she felt were unnecessarily strict rules. She was not allowed out of sight of one of her parents, and they would not take her anywhere after dark. After a few pitched battles on the subject as she aged, they did agree to a compromise, of sorts: she could wander without them during the day, as long as she brought Safi's fox familiar, Cerdi, along with her to chaperone.

This was hardly a compromise, in Saffron's eyes. She had never liked the fox, and the feeling was somewhat mutual; Cerdi did what he was asked because he considered it his duty to Safi, not because he had any fondness for the filly who's blunt manner of speaking was already starting to develop bards. Given their clashing personalities, it was only natural new sparks would fly, this time between Saffron and Cerdi. However, her fathers were firm; she was still too young to go off on her own, so if she wouldn't bring Cerdi, she had to go with one of them. Or else she wouldn't go at all.

As Saffron grew into an adolescent, her feelings of restriction and of being stifled only grew. Her already firey temper was done no favors by hormones, or her independent nature by the desire to rebel. Arguements between fathers and daughter were the norm, with Saffron's disgust at her home situation growing with each fight. Finally, she decided she'd had enough. One day, as a young adult mare, she woke up, spread her wings, and left home, not once looking back over her shoulder.

~~~

The world itself was everything she'd hoped for, and she knew in her heart of hearts she'd made the best choice. A nomad by choice, she spends her time travelling the Kawani lands, her adventurous and curious nature finally coming into its own as she explores regions from sea coast to desert. Her social graces are still sadly lacking; she says what she's thinking with no care for how the words, or she herself as the speaker, might be received. She is a plain, upfront mare in manner; a tomboy since childhood, she cares nothing for flirting or feminine pursuits, not even with regard to care of her own appearance. Her untidy mane is always in a braid for convenience, but her rough and tumble life on the wing means the braid is always coming undone. This only ever bothers her when it becomes inconvenient, at which point she seeks out a raccoon to fix it up again for her.

Hayalet's Story

From his earliest moments, Hayalet felt contented and loved. Born to parents originally separated by death and time, reunited by the grace of the spirits, he, along with his sisters Revenant and Conduit, was a child born of the deepest, most emotionally satisfying love. Added to that equation was the fact his father was no random Soquili; no, Cyn Generis was an Angeni, the Angeni guardian of Time itself. Consequently, even as a foal, Hayalet felt that the world was a safe, stable, well-intentioned place. From his parents, he learned to love and be love; to respect the spirits, to respect the world, to respect the bonds of family, and to respect the inexorable nature of time.

Hayalet grew up an extremely gentle and peaceful child, one who hated even to scrap with his sisters. Given the opportunity, he would always try to talk his way out of a tight spot, and even if that failed he wouldn't raise a hoof or a wing to fend off his attacker. Afterwards, he would explain very solemnly that if he fought back, he might accidentally hurt the Soquili he was fighting, and that hurting another was wrong. This pacifistic attitude would remain with him as he grew; even as an adult, he could not, in good conscience, raise his hooves against another living creature.

This resolve was sorely tested in one respect: spiders. Hayalet had always had a close relationship with his father Cyn, and strove to emulate him in every way but one. Cyn's mane and tail were thick, long, and ground dragging, and served as a home to numerous spiders. Hayalet had been terrified of the little creepy crawlies since his earliest days, and the sight of them scuttling around in his father's hair was enough to make him break out in a could sweat. However, as Hayalet aged and his own mane and tail grew, he found to his horror that he was equally attractive to spiders, with new webs appearing in his mane as fast as he could remove the older ones.

It was certainly a dilemna. He hated the spiders, but would not kill them; this meant he had to figure out how to remove them without resorting to violence. Brushing them away with his wings could be overly aggressive to the fragile creatures, and he hated having birds pick them out. It might be the natural way, but he still felt as though he were party to murder! In the end, he resigned himself to the inevitable; he was going to have spider companions for the rest of his life.

Having been born and raised in the mountains, Hayalet felt a natural affinity for the crags and overlooks of the peaks. When he was ready to leave home and find a residence of his own, he stayed high in the mountains, hoping to find a place that would feel as 'homey' as his home, even without the Soquili.

And he found that place, in the shape of a high, shaded mountain plateau. A small rocky cave at the back of the plateau provided shelter, and a projecting rock shelf allowed him to observe the Kawani lands, spreading out beneath him for miles and miles. It was the perfect place for a Soquili who didn't want to get involved, and who didn't want to run the risk of causing accidental harm. From his isolated plateau, Hayalet could watch the world without being a part of it, passing his time in reflection and meditation.

However, that way of life could not be maintained indefinitely; Hayalet's natural compassion kept raising its head at inopportune moments, reminding him that there were needs out there, needs which he might be able to help meet. On the heels of the great Kalona War, he finally gave into his feelings of guilt and ventured down into the Lowlands for the first time. While perusing the sites of previous battles, he stumbled upon a pair of flutters who had survived the war, but lost everything in the process; without taking any time to think about it, Hayalet offered the twins a home with him for as long as they needed it. They accepted, and have been denizens of his mountainous home ever since. Taking this as a sign, Hayalet has tried to make a point of venturing to the Lowlands more often; he doesn't plan to take in everyone he meets, but one can never be sure when they might be able to help!
