AboutLost as a Basket during Rock slide during a storm, separated from his father and brother, his basket got swept into a River and swept all the way out to sea, eventually landing on an Island with nothing but Minis, who's only experience with full sized ponies was a pod of kelpi who regularly hunted them. Thus, Lumaria found himself alone, scared of the kelpi but unwelcomed by the mini's at first, who chased the foal away into the woods, thinking he was one of the kelpie, nipping and kicking at him as they went, not wanting another predator stalking them on land. He watched them and learned to speak from them, developing the same soft accent that sounds like a mix of an irish or scottish brogue and a welsh accent, living in the forest of the island and learning to be stealthy, not to hunt being an herbivore, but to observe and to avoid scaring those whom he wished to befriend.
As he grew up, he eventually got into the habit of fighting off the kelpie whenever they attacked one of the Usdia, but always ending up startled and scared away by the mini's he had just protected, seeing himself as monstrous and not wanting to scare him with his appearance, and expecting them to attack and hurt him even though he was much bigger and stronger than them. By this point they had figured out that he was their protector, seen as the "spirit of the woods", or by an old phrase in a more archaic language "The Lumaria o Elyse" ("The Moth to the light", a name given based how he seemed to be drawn to them like a moth (Lumaria) is to light, but flinches away, much like a moth when it touches flames. Lumaria, not knowing the phrase or older name, would overhear legends they had begun making of him and misunderstand their subject, and took the name "Lumaria" from them. In ways, they had unknowingly named him.) and began leaving out offerings to him like they would the wishing star, and he'd sneak them away in the dead of night, feeling like nothing more than a common thief but desperate for the trappings of civilization.
Eventually a cruise company found the island in their explorations, and begun hanging out nearby and lounging on the beaches, their Mer and non-cannibalistic kelpie and seathi friends following suit, chasing away the evil kelpie from the waters, who where already starting to leave in search for easier pickings. As these larger ponies moved in and started mingling with the Usdia, who had been warmed to the idea of not-all-large ponies being predators by Lumaria, turned out to be harder to avoid, especially since their curiosity about The Lumaria o Elyse led them to venture into the woods on occasion.
It was there where he met
Lin: Having slipped out onto the ocean (having developed a strong skill for swimming despite being non-aquatic) to avoid some of the larger ponies wandering the forest, and being found by the mers two business partners, Twin Dolphins named Splash and Flash, who alerted their large Mer friend of the oddly non-aquatic fullsized soquili hiding in the water, slowly walking on the rocks with as much of his body underwater as he could while still being able to see and breath above water, and the Mer managed to sneak up on him and ask what he was hiding from.
Soon Lumaria was brought actively into the heart of the action, discovered for what he was: A gentle individual who only wished to be loved but painfully lonely due to his differences from everyone else having kept him isolated his entire life up until this point.
Lin, a mer who founded the island tour company pulling boats for land locked ponies to visit islands, now Gives Lumaria free access to his tour to go to and from his "home island" to mainland, the undersocialized soquili being awkward and uncomfortable spending too long around people, but also starved for attention and affection, so getting out and being among those who are like him, tall and landlocked, is good for him.
He still, however, assumes he's frightening in appearance to others, so never approaches, always sort of just... Hangs back and watches and hopes someone will approach
him and invite him to join in. Though now, on the island, he's beloved by the mini's and having grown comfortable around them, eagerly snuggling into piles of the islanders for cuddles, starved for physical contact and touch.
Additional info- Think's he's ugly and deformed. Doesn't see it in other fullsized soquilis however, he just assumes he's terrifyingly monstrous in some form or another
- calls himself a "Snark", which was the natives word for the Shark-like Kelpie that preyed on them, since thats what they had called him when he was a foal, having assumed he was one of the kelpie pod when he ventured into their village.
