Pony Name: Dionysus or "Dion" for short. Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): Bisexual
Short Blurb on Character personality:
Flock born feathered beauty with a voice of an angel to swoon the hearts of many; he finds pleasure entertaining the flock with his gifted voice through song.
His voice is not his only talent but he has good sense of taste and a strong love for wine. He's known to be the best when it comes to finding the best berries for a special wine he likes to make; he's the go to guy when it comes to needing a great wine for any occassion, be it celebration or just for pleasure induglce.
His personality is eccentric, he tends to have a lot of body language when speaking and he is also rather alluring which makes it easy for him to converse with others. Dion is pretty bold when it comes to wanting to spend time with someone in the flock be it a female or male; it matters not to him as long as the attention is given.
He's not one to just serenade to one but he believes his voice is for all; just like his love he finds himself bound to no one.

Pony Name: Assisi
Pony Gender (optional): Agender Sexual Orientation (optional): Asexual
Short Blurb on Character personality:
He joined the flock willingly not too long ago (was looking for a safe haven for his beloved birds when he heard of the Flock and offered his services willingly). Very devoted to his flock of birds, he works hard on raising & training them. He also will teach any avian familiar (with the aid of his own) who wants to learn specific skills, such as "Seeing-Eye Bird". Most of the non-familiar birds he raises & trains end up in pleasure gardens; others might end up with a different role, such as messenger birds.
Working alongside the Agricultural Guild, he's built up his own "bower" (complete with a pleasure garden) for his precious birds, where he'll offer to guide guests to fully enjoy it at all times of the day or night. He takes great pride in his precious little puffballs.
Doesn't see himself as "male" or "female", but will answer to male or gender-neutral pronouns. He's not all that interested in romance of any sort either. He'll donate to the Flock upon request of a Sacred Mother, however.

Pony Name: Zirui
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): PolySexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: Zirui is a curious explorer, he wants to explore as much of the flock lands as he can possibly explore. He would like to document all of the changes in the land. He loves to make things and document things, but don't get him wrong, he also values strength whether that's physical or the strength of ones heart/character. He can appreciate all strengths. He can go for Females or Males, it's their personality that attracts him not what gender they are. He's even down for multiple partners as long as everyone is happy and consenting.

Pony Name: Pandion
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): unsure!
Short Blurb on Character personality: Pandion is, at best, clumsy. At worst, he has too many feathers, too many talons, and not enough brain cells to manage them all. He rarely looks put together because he's always tripping over himself, running late, and too caught up in trying to appear normal to... actually appear normal.
Despite that, he's a very kind-hearted stallion with too much compassion, and wants to do his best for anyone around. Though he might make things worse in the process, he's really trying his best to help and usually things turn out alright in the end.

Pony Name: Paloma
Pony Gender (optional): Female Sexual Orientation (optional): Straight
Short Blurb on Character personality: Paloma is fascinated with the natural world. In particular she loves to document plants and their natural properties. She interested in the natural world is so deep it often leads her to ignore everything else. Interpersonal relations? No interest. Keeping a tidy home? Pass. Remember to eat regularly? Hit or miss. She doesn't mind her other failings though, she's quite convinced she's going to discover something revolutionary!

Pony Name: Keeva
Pony Gender (optional): Female Sexual Orientation (optional): Pansexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: Keeva is a talented jeweler, and knows it. Her gifts come straight from the Great Mother, and are cherished. She's steadily built a reputation for herself among the Flock for her keen eye, sharp fashion sense, and zealous passion. After all, what's the use of being stressed when you can turn your frustrations into gold? Sometimes literally.
Appearances are just as important as functionality, which is something that Keeva takes to heart. There isn't a single piece that goes on a flock member that hasn't been inspected ten times over for any sort of 'imperfection', lest rumors of a 'less than perfect' item spread and her name be tarnished. That may be something as minor as adjusting a gem, or as major as completely refitting a neck piece because of a sizing error.
That being said, she doesn't tolerate slackers, and while working rarely speaks to others. Under normal circumstances she's a perfectly sociable mare with an energetic, lovely personality, but as soon as 'work' mode has been activated you likely won't get much more than a vague murmur from her. And if she's been overworked, with far too little sleep, she may be a little snippier than usual. (Only to close friends and family, of course. Never to clients or those who outrank her, she's much too smart for that.)

Pony Name: Svidýrr
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): Pansexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: Svid was born outside the flock and, for reasons unknown to him, was separated from his family at a very young age. When young, he was taken in by a roaming band of thieves that, while provided him with a home and the basic living necessities, didn't make for the most nurturing of atmospheres. Svid often felt like a burden and it was made clear to him throughout his young life that he was essentially at the bottom of the food chain.
This atmosphere grew Svid into a shy and reserved young stallion. When he was young, he found it safer to remain unseen and unheard. As such, he is very content to disappear into the background of many social interactions, finding it easier to keep to himself than mingle with others. He is selectively mute, speaking only to those he deeply trusts (which, at this point in his adulthood, is generally limited to his owl familiar who has been a large figure in his growth and ultimately was the one to give him the courage to join the flock).
The withdrawn stallion does seem to find a great deal of joy in trinkets and pretty things. A remnant from his upbringing, he seems to brighten up out of his subdued nature when collections or attractive goods come up. What started with collecting has turned into a fondness for creating. Nowadays he's often seen putting the entirety of his attention into crafting pretty trinkets, something he's found he has a knack for with his dexterous nature. While he is still cautious to trust and to interact, he seems to open up to others when goods and crafts are involved.

Pony Name: Jaye
Pony Gender (optional): Demiboy Sexual Orientation (optional): Extremely Panromantic but Demisexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: Jaye is quiet and awkward, but good-intentioned and thoughtful. He is more likely to show you how he feels or what he thinks via actions than he is to tell you or talk about it with you.
Music feeds his soul and he can often be found dancing to the tune of whatever he's humming to himself. He is happy to play any instrument and enjoys crafting them, but his voice is his true favorite instrument. Wherever he goes he brings music with him, and leaves a little extra joy behind in his wake. If you can't get him to talk about something you surely will hear him turning it into song eventually.

Pony Name: Rogelio
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): n/a
Short Blurb on Character personality: Roro is a beekeeper. Or really, a beekeeper's assistant. Though if you asked him, he'd use the word 'apprentice'. He deeply respects the art of beekeeping, and the familiarity one gets with the hive. He feels at home with the hustle and bustle of a well populated busy hive.
Usually more of a quiet type, Rogelio seems to find his voice if the subject of animals comes up. He'll gladly talk to you about them, though the conversation may be a little short lived as he doesn't really know how to keep a conversation going. Start him on bees though, and you'll wish you hadn't.
His goal other than becoming a master beekeeper is to learn more about other animals so he can take care of them too. For now he is focused on his bees and the many crafts he is learning to make to utilize all the bees have to offer.
Rogelio likes to decorate his nest with flowers and nuts. The flowers give a place for his bee friends to hang out, and if any other animal, or even say, if a mare was interested in a snack, he could offer a few nuts. But mostly they are for the few squirrels that decide to visit and chitter at him.
Rogelio was born of the flock, yet he still searches for where he fits in. And till that day comes, he just hopes to make a few animal friends along the way. Maybe even a few other soquili if he can ever think of something he thinks may interest others. Character count in Blurb: 1,463

Pony Name: Rahmiel
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): TBD still unsure
Short Blurb on Character personality: Rahmiel feels that he was blessed to have functioning limbs on top of his already existing beautiful widespread wings that could help him get to places faster. Seeing that he can hold onto tiny little lit lamps, he knew he was destined to be a guide by day and night. Guiding the familiar faces back to the flock or simply guiding lost soquili and familiars away from the flock if he deems them as a threat. Even if it meant sacrificing his own life to fight and shut outsiders from exposing the flock to walkers. and if there was a walker crossing his path, he will fight in honour of the flock.
He also, thinks that his life is owed to the Flock to have him there.
Personality wise, he is very calm, and greets anyone with kind eyes. He really likes helping others making him feel useful. Fighting will only take place when necessary. In his own time, he likes to collect, taste, and grow herbs in his secret garden (AKA in a forgotten/unappealing area in the wild that is overpopulated with wild weed and wild plants. and ofc he cleared a patch of earth for himself to grow these herbs. so he does somewhat travel in and out and away from the Flock to tend to these plants. )

Pony Name: Tauihi
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): Pansexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: Born and raised in the Flock, Tauihi has never felt the urge to leave or seek out adventure, content where he was raised. As he became older, it was just a matter of finding a task that suited him. Growing up with family members who leaned towards romance and the arts, he struggled at first to discover his true calling. He lacked grace, and he hummed more than he sung. And with a few little art projects he took on, he quickly learned that those claws of his were not made for crafting beautiful things. And wooing others? Well, uh... This guy is the type to bring you a handful of wildflowers and weeds he found. Maybe a charming compliment, if you're lucky. Romance is an art, and not one he's very skilled at.
No, after a lot of trial and error, Tauihi learned that none of those trades were right for him, and it bothered him terribly. He hated failure, hated feeling useless most of all. Knowing the stallion was a reserved individual and a bit rough around the edges, his hawk, Koe, suggested that he try out something outside the box, different from those tasks his family had taken traditionally. Farming? Ranching? Mining? He wouldn't know unless he tried.
And boy, did the opportunity present itself one day! A run in with a frantic rancher and a fleeing bison quickly led to some hand's on experience. Spurred into action, Tauihi rushed over to assist and help corral the unpredictable creature, and everything sort of fell into place after that.
Being a rancher is hard work and he's left tired at the end of most days, but he wouldn't have it any other way. He can usually be found tending to the bison and feral boars, specializing in the Flock's larger and wilder creatures due to the challenge they present. These days, his main priority is ensuring that the Flock's beasts are well cared for and that no one gets TRAMPLED....... But if someone requests some "special attention" from him in the future? Well, he's not one to say no, especially if it's for the good of the Flock...

Pony Name: Dax
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): Bisexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: Dax trains owls and other birds to carry messages within the flock or outside if requested, he breeds and raises them for both pets and message carrying. He's a very calm stallion and doesn't show any special interest in either mares or stallions, he enjoys the company of both, sometimes both at the same time. He's gentle spoken unless something threatens the safety of his birds, then he can get pretty scary pretty quickly before returning to calm his charges. If a bird happens to hatch on the same day a foal emerges from their basket, or appears as a gift from the spirits, he will tend to gift that particular Soquili the bird on the day they become and adult, he always says they were meant to be and share a special bond. Whether they do or not is another matter. When he is attracted to another Soquili he is rather shy about it and tends to hide behind caring for his birds to avoid embarrassing himself rather than risk approaching. He also gets a bit giggly and shy if another Soquili shows an interest in him, the best way to get him to talk is to ask him about his birds.

Pony Name: Reikas or Zekia (Undecided)
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): N/A
Short Blurb on Character personality: R/Z is enthusiastic, and an avid artist by nature. He believes that life in itself is art, and runs around talking to as many Soquili and familiars as he can, engaging in various activities and enjoying life (or art, as he would say) to its fullest. He takes pleasure in lifting the spirits of those who are depressed as he wants everyone to enjoy the wonders of life/art.

Pony Name:Paso Doble
Pony Gender (optional): Male Sexual Orientation (optional): Pansexual-he is more attracted to good dancers it's what makes his heart beat fast heart Short Blurb on Character personality:Paso Doble has never questioned the herd's hierarchal structure or semi-isolated status. The Harpy culture is all he's ever know and he finds happiness in the little niche he's carved out for himself. Paso Doble will generally do odd jobs around the herd to help any herd-member. However, his true interest is dancing. He constantly thinks about it and dreams about it. Dance is in his blood and it's clear his passion consumes him. He is the harpy equivalent of a bird of paradise. Paso Doble will generally act as a dance teacher to any willing young stallion who comes to him learning how to impress a mare. After all, not every harpy mare is impressed with shiny plumage some like their males to display an elegant manner and dance talent.
While Paso Doble generally doesn't chafe about staying in harpy territory a secret part of him wishes he could travel the soq lands and see new exciting dances. To ease this tension he sends his fam owl sent out to collect dances and unique steps. Together the two of them will shake their tail feather and make their own variations from the steps the owl has collected. Though Paso Doble often makes his own steps which are inspired by birds and other fams.

There were SO MANY Good entries that I couldn't just settle on one or two and not take forever to judge, so I made a shortlist to roll from for the three non-raffle giveaways! Don't feel bad if you're not on this short list: Most of you had strong ideas,good ideas but went way over the "Around 2000" Character limit, or the rare few who had ideas that may need a little cleaning or clarification of what certain phrasing meant before I'm sure it'll work in the setting of the Flock but I'm more than willing to help
