Got these Tigers by the Tail!
Username: Angelique DelaMort
Mare's Name: Zatana
Mare's Temper: Catty
Plot Points:
• Pack hunters? Yeah right, after many years of patiently waiting for her pack (family) to get their act in gear and start working together as a group to hunt (instead of taking the easy route by stealing prey from other packs when they weren't looking), Zatana is tired of their weak ways. She's either going to break off on her own to hunt (who needs a pack anyways?) or finally succeeded in convincing her pack to have a little Pride!
• Walker weary . Zatana has been hearing rumors of walkers encroaching on her territory. Not only is this a life-threatening danger and competition for food, but this is an insult! Zatana doesn't take well to strangers and plans to make that clear to the walkers through any means necessary.
• What the heck is that? In a routine patrol around her territory, Zatana find a strange animal. After determining if the creature was eatable (it was not) Sheila surprised that the fearless little thing can communicate with her. And now it won't leave her alone....
• Cursed by the gods. After a long streak of bad luck Zatana begins to consider if she's done something to anger the gods. Starving, beaten, and slowly being destroyed by her own thirst after finding her typical watering hole poisoned, she devotes considerable hallucinatory thoughts towards how she can win back the favor of the gods.
• Found a Foundling. When presented with an abandoned foal Zatana (who has found she much prefers the lone wolf lifestyle) must figure out what to do with the little thing. Although she never really considered herself mother material, the lost goal quickly becomes attached to her. Unfortunately the thing can't seem to help fishing itself in the worst of scrapes. In between protecting the foal and trying to guide it to someone more qualified to take care of it, Zatana finds herself somewhat attached and finds her final decision difficult to reach.
• Wild Fire. Dry seasons were rare and fire from the sky touching the ground was even more rare. But when the two come together Zatana has to figure out where to go and how long to keep her head down. Her agility will only take her so far and death by starvation was much slower than death by fire (although neither was especially appealing). She was going to have to think fast and move faster if she was going to survive.
• Expanding territory. When Zatana's usual hunting grounds offer fewer and fewer options she is faced the need to expand her territory. However that comes with dancers of its own. Zatana is used to being the apex predator and has to rely on both her strength and smarts if she's going to find more prey.
• Vanity. While pausing on a quite day for a drink, Zatana notices that her mane is looking a little rough and the flower ornaments she adorned herself with...well they had seen better days. After so many difficult trials in the past, Zatana figures it's about time she does something for herself and spends some time replacing her hair ornaments, grooming her fur, and enjoying a nice nap in the sunlight.

* Edited 7:30 PM EST. Added plot.Got these Tigers by the Tail! Username: Ririka
Mare's Name: Mercy
Mare's Temper: Curious
Plot Points: • Break the ties || Born into a family that holds a desire to strengthen their blood and neighbors, and being the only daughter to her parents, Mercy's parents insisted on arranging her future for her. She herself holds no desire to live out the life her parents wish to live through her, especially her mother's plans. She has love love for the stallion of their choosing, and no desire to birth his children. So what is a mare to do? Runway, that's what. Runaway and never return, at least no alive if she can help it. • An Act of Desperation || Whether through luck, her own wit or both, Mercy has managed to escape her family's territory and now finds herself lost within deserted canyon lands. The sun is hot. The air is dry. The lands are an endless maze that are hard on her paws. Water is scarce. Food seems to be scarcer. Mercy is getting desperate, and desperation can make souls do regrettable acts that stain them. And then the mare spots a herd of soq in the distance, well, her stomach screams and her paws become twitchy... [Mercy shall be the one to kill off Naran's herd while he is off on his journey] • How about a trade? || A few weeks have passed, and her choice still haunts her. Her stomach aches almost as much as her soul, even if her mind tries to explain it was an act that needed to be done for survival. Still, she moves on and tries to put everything to the back of her mind. Mercy needs to keep moving, especially now that she has found greener lands.
While wandering she crosses paths with another Soq who takes notice of the lost look in her eyes, and either through worry, amusement, or more...shady reasons, they make an offer. Their knowledge of the land and company [ie be her escort to a safer place] for something of their own choosing. She's skeptical of the offer, but takes it none the less. • Helpful Runt || Mercy has found herself in a bit of a predicament, and she doesn't know how to dig herself out, but it seems the answer lies within a small package. She's skeptical on how an usdia could possibly help her in anyway, but big surprises can come in small packages. And yes, she is going to owe them big for their help. • Poor Kitten || Survival for Mercy is still rough trekking. She has never truly been taught how to support herself, meant to be nothing more than a trophy and baton. She is starting to get the basics, but there is still a lot to learn. Maybe someone out there can teach her to fundamentals. • Gold or Ruin || A life is not a life if it is spent hiding and always looking over one's shoulder. Mercy can't spend everyday slinking around in hopes of never being spotted by her family, should they still be looking for her, but she seems to be doing okay so far. Or well, she was. During a hunt she accidentally wanders into another's territory, and the ruling soq is none to happy to see her, though more than happy to bloody her. It is up in the air as to whether her mistake will cost her, or lead her to the start of carving her own path. • Can't Forget You || The escort and Mercy cross paths once more, but this time it is the escort that is in need of Mercy's help. What could they possibly want from her though? • Ghosts of the Past || HE has found her, and there will be no escaping him this time. He wants her, all of her. He wants her returned home, whether by her own choosing or buy dragging her back. Mercy has no intention of returning him to become his mate. She has no intention of running away either. This time she will stand and fight. She will show him her claws and make him taste his own blood if need be. • It's Not All Black and White || She thought they were a friend. She trusted them with all she could possibly give. So then, why? Why would they do this to her!? It turns out the escort was nothing more than eyes and ears for her family. A means to keep track of her and make sure she would not get too far. So was everything nothing but a lie? She she give into her anger and kill them? Chase them off with their tail between their tails? Maybe it would just be best to move to a different area... It's too much to think about. • Repentance || She may have much regret, but has she ever actually repented for her actions? Naran and Mercy cross paths, and though he may not know who she is Mercy has an idea by his appearance who he is. A member of THAT herd, the one she devastated in a moment of weakness. Will she choose to confess or put on a face? • Flowers for Tears || After her encounter the news about the escort, and her encounter with Naran, Mercy decides to leave for a time in an attempt to sort herself out. During her wanders she finds herself in a meadow and takes some time to rest. It is there that she finds herself in the company of a foal/some foals who wish to play, and throw around their curious natures, as foals do. It is they who gift her to flowers that adorn her mane and tail. It is they who help her find some peace within herself.

Note for Ara, by Ara: Rita won another contest! yay!
Got these Tigers by the Tail!
Username: Rita Zyon
Mare's Name: Meera
Mare's Temper: Reminiscent
Plot Points:
•A desire for familiarity Meera had a fondness for the woods she lived in. When she was young, her father told her that she was like the bark itself. After her father's death, she chose to stick close to the wooded areas of the lands. For this plot idea, I think it would be great for Meera to find others that are similar in colouration to the woods and possibly flowers. She is still very upset over her father's death and being able to connect with soquili and familiars reminiscent of her fathers' stories will help her.
•Asking for help Meera never knew her mother. The most prominent of her memories consisted of her dad and her. Sometimes, these memories were spotted with foalhood friends, small familiars, and neighbours. Despite her happy upbringing, she often wondered about her mother. Who was she? Why did she leave? Her father had told her that her mother hadn't been ready for motherhood, but, Meera still wondered why. Part of her wants to see if she could find answers, part of her doesn't want to leave home. For this plot, it would be important for Meera to speak with soquili that have a knack for advising others.
•Choose your own adventure This plot can go in different ways, depending on the advice Meera receives from the previous plot. Perhaps Meera will leave home in search of her unknown mother. Alternatively, Meera may stay home instead. Or, maybe the soquili she receives advice from helps Meera to move away from her familiar surroundings without the desire for finding her mother. Perhaps she receives advice that leads her onto a new path - a journey towards further growth.
•Trust me, I`m extra fabulous At some point in Meera`s life, I want her to meet someone extradordinarily charming and witty. This someone could be male or female, it doesn`t matter; but, Meera will want to show off for this someone to show them that she can be quite witty too. Eventually, this will downspiral into Meera showing her cattiness out of jealousy.
•Dinner? Meera is an omnivore. Although she eats a fair bit of grass and small fruits, she also has an appetite for meat - particularly small animals. One day while hunting she catches across an animal that begs her to not kill them. The animal makes her an offer that Meera is unable to resist. The animal performs small tasks for her and in return, Meera provides protection and shelter in the form of her massive tail. As time progresses, this animal and Meera form a close bond with each another.
•There must be something that can be done. Meera's animal companion comes down with a sickness. Due to their close bond, Meera is determined to help them in anyway she can. Throughout this plot, it will be essential for Meera to consult soquili and familiars knowledgeable in treating sickness.
•Live on This is a continuation of the previous plot. Time passes and nothing can be done for her animal companion. Her dear friend asks Meera to dig them a fine grave for their final resting place. A place filled with sunshine, nearby trees, and sweet smelling flowers. When the time comes for them to join their ancestors, Meera must continue to live on and make new memories.
•Goodbye, my friend Shortly after agreeing to make new memories (continuation of the Live on plot), Meera's animal friend passes on. This plot revolves around Meera grieving and saying goodbye to her friend.
•The next step After the plot of "Goodbye, my friend", Meera has a choice to make. What will be her next steps in life in order to create new memories? This plot will revolve around Meera's decision.

Mare's Name: Pasha
Mare's Temper: Broken
Plot Points:
• The Collector: Pasha is a collector. There is no limit to what she collects. Pretty pint-sized Usdia, beautiful mares, strong stallions, bones, rocks, odds and ends. Whatever Pasha likes, she collects. Her home, the Grove (see below) is filled with everything she's taken a liking to. Feathers hang from various nooks and crannies. Tufts of fur, bits of manes, bones - it's how she displays the things she collects - and unlucky Soquili might find themselves as a part of the display.
• The Grove: Pasha lives in the treetops, and rarely visits the forest floor - unless, of course, a passerby catches her attention. Or perhaps she tires of birds and eggs and wishes for a heartier meal. Perhaps she might come down when she catches the wanderlust and yearns to find something else to add to her pretty collection.
• Mine: Pasha is easily-obsessed, and she will fixate on a mare or stallion that passes near her home. She will follow them from the treetops, coming down only when there are no more trees to move from. Pasha will even go so far as to capture the object of her affection and hold them captive until she tires of them - if she tires of them. Any offspring that result from this obsession will be the greatest addition to Pasha's collection - and she will not ever willingly let her children leave her side.
• All Mine: Pasha's first babies will never leave her sight - not unless they escape her, and even then she will follow them for as long as she can. She will not feel abandoned, but rather angry that she's lost parts of her prized collection - and if she cannot find them, Pasha will immediately attempt to make more children to add to her collection of beautiful things.
• Tricked: Pasha will eventually come across a mare or stallion that has the upper hand - and maybe she becomes a part of their collection. Ideally she will escape, but if that doesn't happen I would be interested to see what comes of it.
• Mine is Better: Pasha comes across another Soquili that has a greater collection, one that Pasha envies. It would be fun to see Pasha try to steal this collection - or worse, try to maim the Soquili who owns the collection that she so covets.
• Soulmates: Finally, Pasha finds someone who caters to her whims and even goes so far as to collect things for her. S/he would court Pasha endlessly, bringing her pretty trinkets to add to her massive hoard.

Soooooo... I got stuck. 8D;; Again. GOOD NEWS, though! I've gotten unstuck with help! Congrats Ririka! Really liked the detail in your plot. It came down to a few individuals that either made me laugh or tied things in, but at the end of the day there can be only oooone!
