Arioso Canto
Kelakohr x Amiera
 Name: Arioso Canto Faythren
Nick Name: Ari, (TBC)
Name Meaning: Arioso: Airy, or like an air (a melody) (i.e. in the manner of an aria); melodious. In classical music, arioso is a type of solo vocal piece, usually occurring in an opera or oratorio, falling somewhere between recitative and aria in style.
Canto: one of the sections into which certain long poems are divided.

Title: The Sunset Fayth
Occupation: Healer
Temper: Gloaming
Acquired: Gallow Breeding Slots
Previous Stages: Basket, Foal, Adult Cert With Ossia
Drop Post: Original Basket Drop, Adult Drop Here, Adult Cert Drop
Special Markings/Attributes: Arioso's coat is a richer, more golden version of his mother's lighter paint pelt. More of a sunset amber overall, his white splash/paint markings are minimal, mostly confined to his hindquarters and then lower sections of his legs. At the muzzle and lower part of his face, as well as on all four of his legs like socks, his coat goes a soft violet somewhat reminiscent of his father. Arioso is a unicorn just like Kelakohr, his horn and hooves glowing cyan, just a softer shade than his father. Arioso's eyes are also a glowing softer shade, more like a seafoam color. His hair of medium length and wild with seafoam and violet feathers and beads woven in, much like Kelakohr's style, though it is solid white. His tail is also white all the way through, and braided, once again with beads and feathers that are a mix of violet and seafoam. Arioso also has white Fayth markings, inherited from his father, on his cheek, chest, shoulders and legs. The signature Fayth wings are also present on Arioso's back and shoulders, glowing white and seafoam.

Second Cousins: (Avant1): Ars Antiqua, Sonata Notturno, Ultima Canticum;
Siblings (K&A1): Kalira
Familiar: Ossia
Mate: Single
About: Born to the second son of the Fayth Clan, Arioso Canto is the son of Kelakohr and the grandson of Whistle and Ballad. He is the first surviving child and grandchild born of the Light Clan in this land, and was therefore raised well aware of the tragedy that had befallen the baskets from his grandparent’s first breeding. This did little to curb his wandering hooves and seeking heart (both strong characteristics of his Clan), which served him in good stead in making friends. It also ensured his protective sire trained him early on to fight and heal to the best of his ability.
Throughout his life Arioso has practiced his natural healing ability, as well as taking lessons in herb craft, plant identification (herb, tree, shrub and poisonous plants as well as their properties), navigation by sunlight and starlight, water location, animal identification and tracking, memorizing star patterns, learning different bird calls, how to move without leaving a trail and various types of fighting. While growing up he was eager to become an adult so he could work as a Healer and Scout for the good of the Clan. However, seeing his success in networking even as a colt Whistle also elected to make him one of the Envoys of the Clan. As such, she took him under her wing and trained him from his youth.
Having run afoul of his Uncle, the lethal Kalona stallion Aveshar, as a colt Arioso lost his way in fleeing for his life. He crossed paths (for the second time) with the pawed quadwing filly Riomie. Possibly in repayment for his previous healing of her leg wound, she rescued Arioso when she attacked the Kalona (admittedly, catching him by surprise). It is not known exactly how they managed it, but the two foals evaded the Kalona’s fury and eventually found their way home. By this point, they were fast friends and Arioso began to gain some exposure to The Code of Edda and the Valkyries’ way of life.
As an adult Arioso’s main services for trade are in Healing and War Arts. However, as singing and storytelling and dance are all part of the Clan traditions he is proficient in these skills as well. No other hobbies or crafts are traded or plied at this time. When not serving the needs of the Clan he is available as a Healer or Escort to traveling parties. As the majority of his family seem to find their ‘True Love’ and settle, this is also Arioso’s goal. However, at this time he does not seem to be avidly seeking any sort of romantic companion.
Arioso also encountered the somewhat mysterious Guardian of the Woods, Djose, in his youthful wanderings. She trained him in various woods craft based lessons and Soquili identification. In his wanderings he also encountered Raito, a Light Uni’suti stallion he brought back to the Clan for Healing lessons. When not working with the Clan or Healing, Arioso continues to serve as an Envoy and recruit allies and herdmates for the Clan. His energies also serve to build the Skinwalker and Kalona Alert Network (S.K.A.N.) and recruiting to that cause. If you’re interested in becoming part of the Healers group, joining the clan or becoming part of S.K.A.N. please feel free to reach out to Arioso.
Personality: Ari favors change for the greater good, and disdains any organization or unit that may stand in the way of social improvement. He places a high value on personal freedom, not only for himself but others as well. While Ari always intends to do the right thing (like his grandparents) his methods may be disorganized or out of alignment with the methods of others. If part of a team or a group, Ari may create conflict if he feels he is pushed around. This is in part due to the fact that he views extensive organization and planning as pointless. He would much rather improvise (it gets him into trouble but can yield some fascinating results).
Friends: Raito, Djose, Riomie, Sullivan,

Familiars  Name: Ossia GuidingSong
Species: 2nd Gen; Hummingbird x Songbird Cross
Bonded To: Arioso Canto
Mate: N/A
ShipName: N/A
Children: N/A
Temper: Illuminative
About: The first child of Aria and Minstrel, Ossia is a Hummingbird x Songbird hybrid. With her father's beak and love for flowers and her mother's tail and love for song, she is a light-hearted and pleasant companion. While still in the nest her parents introduced her to the Fayth Clan, a band with songs so compelling and hearts so true they had inspired both of her parents to leave their flocks behind to accompany these Soquili on their journeys. As she has grown to know and love them well Ossia is sure of one thing, she will not leave them behind. This herd is part of their flock, or their flock is a part of the herd, or some mix of both. Regardless, this is her home and these are her family and here is where she shall stay.
Hatched to the GuidingSong Flock (as her mother calls it) Ossia would have been welcome among the Fayth Clan without seeking a bond with one of their members. She could have functioned as a sort of envoy, an emissary and messenger for the herd. Of course, then she actually met the herd, or perhaps it was sufficient to say she met the youngest member of the herd. Arioso Canto was prone to gallivanting, a wayfaring soul the color of sunshine edged with shades of dusk. His eyes were bright with mischief, his hooves too light for his sire or his grandmother's peace of mind, and his nature bordering on reckless. As soon as she laid eyes on the colt Ossia glanced at her mother, trilling a low stream of music. That one required looking after, and a more 'hands on' approach than just an envoy of the herd would provide.
And thus Ossia had a project, her bonded one Arioso Canto. When not fluttering after him to ensure he is safe and well, she's happy to carry messages or news for the Fayth Clan. |

Riomie
Rouxe x Zamiel
 Name: Riomie
Nick Name: Rio
Name Meaning:
Type: 5th Gen; QuadWing Mutant Hippogryph/Angeni
Title:
Herd: The Code of Edda
Occupation: Valkyrie
Temper: Cold
Acquired: Rehomed
Previous Stages: Shop Basket Cert; Shop Foal Cert
Drop Post: Rehomed Drop Post
Special Markings/Attributes:
Roleplay Color: #332949
Family:
Great Great Grand Dam x Great Great Grand Sire (Teumesia): Kumiho x Cerberus
Great Great Grand Dam x Great Great Grand Sire (Mesiah): Narcissa x Lucifer
Great Grand Dam x Great Grand Sire (Proserpina): Teumesia x Anju
Great Grand Dam x Great Grand Sire (Canaan): Florian x Messiah
Grand Dam x Grand Sire (Zamiel): Proserpina x Canaan
Dam x Sire: Rouxe x Zamiel
Siblings: Dumah, Elijah, Ezra
Familiar: N/A
Flings: Arioso
LoveMate: Imperatrix Severin of the Ivory Throne; (Repeat Agreement)
About: A QuadWing mare, with glowing eyes, fierce fangs, and stealthy, clawed paws. Born from the advantageous crossing of Rouxe and the fierce triwing stallion Zamiel, Riomie is the first daughter born to her mother and is otherwise surrounded by brothers. Her sire is from outside of the Code, and as such she has no interaction with him. Raised in a group of foals and brought up and trained by the collective power of the Code, she has no inherently deep bonds within the herd.
Riomie was raised in the Code of Edda, a proud Valkyrie born and bred. As is the practice of the herd, foals are raised collectively, so she has less of a connection with her mother (Rouxe) and somewhat more of one to Kawah Ijen & Keshani Avenara. (The latter of which, ironically, is something of an adopted daughter [slash daughter-in-law] to Rouxe and loves her ferociously.) Upon reaching maturity she eagerly moved out beyond the borders in search of those she might deem worthy of Valhalla. For finding such individuals is the very purpose of the Valkyrie, though each female has her own code or set of ideals as to what makes a Soquli worthy. At this point in her life, Riomie has not found such a worthy soul, for it would be her task to send them on to Valhalla (if she could manage to do so).
On the outside she seems cool or cold-tempered to the world; a dangerous, elegant sort of mare that is rarely effusive or emotional. She moves with a self-confidence, a power and reserve. Her personal code unknown, she seeks powerful, interesting, or skilled individuals to help produce future generations of Valkyrie. The more weapons she might perceive them of having (certainly apt to be drawn to cunning, strength, etc; as well as features such as claws, fangs, fierce eyes and so on), the higher they would stand in her esteem. She is unlikely to settle down or 'lifemate' with someone, but might favor them more above others she has chosen to sire heirs, and return to them for future children. While some daughters would be raised in the way of the Code/declared Valkyrie, if she found such a partner she might concede to a daughter or two escaping the influence/control of the Code and to be raised in the style her partner saw fit.
Personality: Riomie is coldly driven to fulfill her destiny, her calling, the purpose of her existence, and that of her herd. She is a Valkyrie, and this is a serious charge. She must seek out the warriors worthy of Valhalla, and send them there using weapons of her own person. As a young Valkyrie, she has yet to encounter the Worthy, but looks forward to the honor should fate decide she deserves such an experience.
She also carries weapons, and should the unworthy cross her path they may yet be helped onto the next life. She will always choose the safety of her family and herd, as well as the preservation of their beliefs and ideals above the existence of the unworthy. It is to this end that she may, from time to time, hunt Walkers

Dyani Aluminè
? x ?
 Name: Dyani Aluminè
Nick Name: Dya, Alu, Lumi/Little Lumi (Mika),
Name Meaning: Dyani- "Deer"; Aluminè- "She Who Shines"
Type: Flutter-Cerynei
Title: The Wind That Shakes The Sea & Stars
Temper: Elysian
Acquired: CYO For January by one over three!
Previous Stages: Adult, Adult Items,
Drop Post: Here & Cert Post, Correction/Accessories Drop Post
Special Markings/Attributes:
Roleplay Color: #04B4AE
Family: N/A
Dam x Sire: N/A
Siblings: Mikasi Raiquen
Cousins: Nella Fantasia
Familiar: N/A
Mate: None (Single)
About: Dyani Aluminè is a Cery-Flutter cross mare that came to the Soquili lands in the late Winter/early Spring. She arrives to the lands with many other Flutter-crosses and other newcomers, some of which are her friends. However, she speaks little of her home herd or relatives. It is not known who they are or which breed they are, however she believes that there is a chance some of her Flutter kindred have joined the herd that is rumored to live here. As such, she has found her way here tracking stories of a flutter valley, lush with flowers and the preferred dwelling place of their kind. While she has not found it yet, some attempts have been made to learn more about this place.
At this time the sea painted mare, a cross between dawn over the ocean and a starry night, has said little about her family or history. Regardless, it is clear she is here alone and here to stay. As far as it is known, there is no herd or relatives chasing at her heels, and nothing for her to return to. She's eager to explore and to make friends, and can usually be found wherever there is fun to be had!
Early on in her time to this land Dyani is staying focused mainly on the various beaches. She is soothed by the roar of the surf and delights in watching the Mer and Kelpi jump and play. From time to time she can also be found collecting shells and stones. This has led to her forming an easy friendship with the scarlet Kelpi mare Sahaena, as well as the Cery-cross stallion Raikinti. However, her attention and affection are easily swayed to other beautiful sights in the land, such as sunset on the mountains and a meadow full of wild-flowers.
Encountering a rough bout of wind during a recent fly over (while searching for this mysterious valley) forced her to land and seek shelter. It was at this time she encountered a new friend, the somewhat-reserved Vassilis who will hopefully be something of a restraining influence on her.
Personality: This little Cerynei-Flutter cross mare is bright, and cheerful. She's swift-moving and dainty, dancing like a sandpiper in the surf. While she might be as difficult to trap and hold as a wave, this mare is loyal and true. If she makes a friend or finds love, she will remain there as long as fate is kind. Happy to go anywhere that isn't too hot, Dyani is unable to shrink as small as normal flutters due to her Cery-half. Still, she doesn't much care for being small, so in most cases you'll find her at her largest almost-average-Soq size.
Friends: Rajanikant, Vassilis,

Alderfly
Damselfly x Dragonfly
 Name: Alderfly
Nick Name: Alder or Allie
Name Meaning: Type of insect; closely related to dobsonflies.
Type: Spirited Ground
Title: The Native Beauty
Temper: Headstrong
Acquired: Basket Gifted by the lovely Yayoi! heart
Previous Stages: Basket, Foal, Adult, Adult Fall Items
Drop Post: Basket Drop & Foal Cert Drop, Adult Uncert Drop, Adult Cert Drop
Special Markings/Attributes: A grullo-colored coat, 3 dark stockings and one light on her left hind leg (hints of a dark stocking extend slightly above the light). She also has the eye markings of her mother's herd on both of her forelegs, and the twin lines from the corner of her eyes down her cheek.
Roleplay Color: #440000
Family:
Dam x Sire: Damselfly x Dragonfly
Siblings: Firefly (Older), Butterfly, Dobsonfly
Familiar: N/A
Mate: None (Single)
About: This Native Princess is the middle child of Damselfly and Dragonfly's first breeding within the land (Butterfly, Alderfly, Dobsonfly). Since she was born she has looked up to her adult sister Firefly, and can't help but feel like it's her responsibility to babysit both Butterfly and Dobsonfly; regardless of the fact that Butterfly is older than she (by minutes let's be serious). For some strange reason, Allie seems to consider herself the oldest and tries to act as the boss. Her sister doesn't seem to appreciate her smothering tendencies and her brother would be lost without direction from one of his two siblings, so it's a bit of a toss-up most days.
Since the moment she sprung out of her basket with mischief in her eyes, Alderfly doesn't hesitate to scold her siblings for being foolish... But then runs off to explore the world on her own, because in Allie's mind she has a much firmer grip on reality and a much better chance out in the dangerous world. A little hypocritical? Maybe, but she doesn't really care. In her youth this lead to an interesting interaction with another filly through a tall hedge. Once they got over their attempts to scare each other away, she and Rose became fast friends and even created a strange sort of club. They often meet at the hedge to share stories and catch up.
This young mare is full-steam ahead, all the time. It might get her into trouble before long, but for now she's making friends and seeing the world. And for the most part, Allie is apologetically 'full steam ahead' in all areas of her life. Allie talks a big game, especially when she's out of sight, because she's slight and delicate and she knows it. Still, she comes from a proud ground heritage, her parents of two different clans, and most of the time has no trouble standing tall and proud with the weight of their presence behind her.
She'll certainly be intrigued by unusual features like strange tails and claws (though you'll have to work a bit if that's your selling point, her best friend since foalhood has those) and wings and horns and the like. But the moment you think that makes you better than her, be ready for the little hellcat she can become. She does keep an open mind, though was especially wary of Kalona in her youth due to scary stories traded between foals.
Personality: Headstrong, Curious and Unwilling to Take 'No' For An Answer all apply to Alderfly. Allie is somewhat impetuous, always curious, and wants her family to be safe and happy. But she wants a bit of excitement, wants to see all, to experience adventure. Which means she's likely to tumble nose-first into all sorts of trouble.
Friends: Black Rose, Tahir Ara, LiShun

About: Teleri Lindai was born to Vanmoriel of the flock, an artistic harpy mare momentarily mesmerized by a visiting tri-wing stallion (Ananel) she mistook for a spirit. While among the herd he was her chief muse, but after he departed it was discovered he had sired foals with several mares that he had been passing time with. Teleri is one of three fillies born to Vanmoriel, but they are not the only legacy Ananel left behind. Though her mother does not speak of her father and calls she and her sisters gifts of the spirits, Teleri has seen some of the art where the White Spirit is featured, and she knows that there is more of the story to be told. This of course makes her quite curious about the stranger, and results in her being prone to wandering and poking her nose about (usually where she shouldn't) as she searches for answers or more of the story.
Early in her life it was discovered that Teleri suffers from a type of colorblindness, Deuteranopic Vision wherein she is "green-weak". (Possibly due to the extreme presence of white in her parents which resulted in a weak gene, it is unknown.) As such, she is poor at discriminating small differences in hues in the red, orange, yellow, green region of the spectrum. All the shades of green, as well as line tones of blue, wash right into yellow-light red colors. Therefore, she makes errors in determining the differences in these colors because they all seem to wash 'red' to her. This will cause her difficulty in gathering herbs as well as sorting colored objects (such as beads and stones).
Because of her issues with her colorblindness, Teleri gravitates strongly to certain colors (specifically those that she can perceive correctly). This holds true for coat colors of those she interacts with, and is due to the fact that -in a way- Teleri knows she can see them for what they truly are. Therefore, she doesn't feel like she's missing something or being lied to. Due to this fact, and combined with the mysterious stories of the white spirit that was her mother's chief muse (once upon a time), white is Teleri's go-to color. It holds the utmost fascination to her. However, strong/deep shades of red are also among her favorite. Black is likewise easy to discern, and considered agreeable enough.
As she's "green weak" color-wise, Teleri has a hard time with light shades of blue through all shades of green. These tend to look yellow-orange to her, and as such and most yellow-orange-weak red will all look the same to her as well. Therefore, any Soquili in these shades (yellow-light red, all hues of green, light blues/pinks/light purples) will be viewed with some hesitance. Due to the fact that all she will really see are shades of yellow/orange/red, Teleri feels somewhat at a disadvantage in that she cannot view the Soquili for who they really are. As such, she may come off as a bit reserved or cool at first, preferring to be distant until she is better able to make out one's character.
Though she is largely content among the bold females of the Flock, Teleri does feel somewhat alone even when surrounded by her family. She is the only one with hooves, to start with, as both of her sisters appeared to take after her mother in this way. As such, Teleri is not as easily able to take up art -like her mother-, or drum craft -like her aunt- or even any other art that requires the clever claws of a harpy. There is no trapping of creatures or skinning or tanning of hides, no braiding or beading or painting. This leads to wandering, and a chance encounter with a very interesting stranger in the woods. Returning home, somewhat dejected by her lack of notable trade skills, she throws herself into music lessons, and realizes that if she cannot make art she will make herself art. It is at this time that it is noticed that Teleri is a graceful dancer and a skilled singer. As she grows up, she desires to train to be one of the best the Flock has ever seen.
As she is not a meat-eater and lacks the claws or fangs to be a proper huntress, Teleri also works as a gatherer for the flock. Because of her limited perception of color this results in her requiring a spotter, for assistance with identifying herbs and plants that will be of use to her sisters. However, as her eyes are somewhat weakened her nose is somewhat strengthened, and she is particularly clever about the location of mushrooms and herbs with distinctive scents. Eventually she gains several Ravens as her companions, and they work to help her accomplish various tasks including gathering herbs and the like.
When she can, Teleri departs the Flock and goes wandering, gathering or exploring as she likes. It is during these trips that Teleri has begun to encounter all matter of Soquili. As a filly, she meets those with two sets of wings, or one set, or none. Some remain as friends and others drift away again, no more than singular encounters. As she makes more consistent friends outside of the Flock, different crafting ideas start welling up. At first, she starts with making adornments, chiefly consisting of beads and bits strung and worn in whatever way the Soquili chooses. A few of the local familiars notice how she struggles with color or her lack of clever limbs, and they began helping, ensuring all the colors match and aiding her by stringing the items in the patterns she designed.
Eventually, Teleri even begins carving hair ornaments and decorative pieces from wood. The creatures help on occasion, but she learns to wedge the pieces in crevices in the rocks and then whittle or carve with the use of sharper rocks and other such implements. Growing proficient with such things, she eventually expands her ornaments to include a variety of carved stone, bones, and shells. These items were first intended as a gift for a certain friend or two, but now may become a manner of trade for Teleri or a token of her affection to a friend or lover. She will take one of these such trinkets to the forest she wandered as a filly, and through Fate’s kindness reencounter her old friend and be able to give it to him. After spending some time together Teleri will depart again, returning to the expecting Flock. However, her longing for the stallion will lead to her making a wish that is heard by the stars, and will result in the eventual arrival of her son Falmari Aqualonde.
In her wanderings, Teleri will have interactions with several fellow wanderers as well as a few herds. The Traveling Renaissance Faire will be one of her favorite destinations, a place she is likely to visit repetitively possibly for the stallions and the company as much as the creative outlet and business opportunity it affords. Her tradecraft will secure some of the artists and performers as affiliates, and allow her to have an income to support herself and her hobbies as well as ensure her children have a stable start within whichever herd they deign to join. For the expectation and the improvement of the Flock she will have flings with some of these individuals, and each parent will be entitled to take offspring with them when they part ways. For the most part, Teleri’s heart won’t be in such trysts, but she will still search for strong, skilled stallions with interesting traits to pass on to her children. It is likely any children she takes back to the Flock would be raised in cooperation with other Flock members, but Teleri would keep a close eye on her offspring.
Eventually, through a pact made between the two groups or some other arrangement, Teleri will have a breeding contract with a stallion from Code of Edda (Elijah). This will lead her path to cross with that of Keshani Avenara, a Kalona cross mare with a temper. Feeling that Teleri has crossed into her territory, the dark mare will kindle something of a rivalry (or at least a strong mutual dislike) that is likely to remain in place throughout the remainder of their lives. Though they are unlikely to cross paths with any great frequency, they're equally unlikely to ever resolve their differences. (This may lead to future interesting interactions due to the crossover of their children within The Code of Edda.)
Among the herd, Teleri will step up as a surrogate mother for some of the foals after the Spirits take an extreme interest in her sister's breeding. With the [NUMBER to be finalized] children flooding into the Flock, Teleri is happy to take several of the girls on and show them gathering techniques and prime places for forage, as well as to lead them in travel parties to hunt for new potential stallions or trade agreements.
Personality: Teleri is Driven, fiercely protective of her sisters and loyal to a fault. She will stand up for what is right, defend those she cares for, and she will not be moved when she gets an idea in her stubborn head. (And not arguing or bribing or fighting will change her mind.) If you're a friend even in foalhood and later you drift away from her, that is not the end of it, she'll love you for the rest of your life. (So don't go getting yourself injured, she'll be very upset with you and want to know who to blame for it.)
Though she is part of the Flock, Teleri wanders freely. She has restless hooves and a seeking heart. She delights in meeting others and will not let her colorblindness rule her life. There are times one may notice that she's looking at them with a strange sort of intensity, but sooner or later it is put away as she either discerns their patterns and colors, makes a guess, or deems it unimportant.

Tahir Ara
? x ?
 Name: Tahir Ara [Tahir Ara Rainshadow]
Nick Name: Tahir, Tahi
Name Meaning: TAHIR: Means "virtuous, pure, chaste" in Arabic.; ARA: Meaning unknown, possibly of Sumerian origin. In Armenian legend this was the name of an Armenian king who was so handsome that the Assyrian queen Semiramis went to war to capture him.
Type: Half-Kirin
Title: The Ghost of a Rainbow
Temper: Shifting
Acquired: Celebration of Love Raffle
Previous Stages: Tahir, Tahir Fall Items;
Drop Post: Adult Cert Drop Here
Special Markings/Attributes: This stallion is a dapple grey half kirin. There are faint freckle-like dots of rainbow-like colors shimmer over his body mostly visible on back and sides of barrel. Color shifting rainbow pattern on horn (pastels). White muzzle into a partial snip/ lower half-blaze resulting in a diamond/star shape with an elongated point. Charcoal barring on all four legs and charcoal dappling over his face/along his back almost like a dorsal stripe. His mane is a darker charcoal shade, but the tasseling on his tail is a light silver. Hooves are kirin-style and a soft silver. Eyes a soft tourmaline pink.
Roleplay Color: #B4045F
Family: N/A
Dam x Sire: N/A
Siblings: None
Cousins: Nasir 'The Light of Rainshadow';
Familiar: N/A
Mate: Cygnus Nebulae
About: Tahir is a former member of a quiet Kirin herd known as the Rainshadow Band. In his youth, he was a little more reckless, curious and prone to wandering as he bucked the command of his parents and herd leaders. The core group originally formed of family, lead by his mother and father and with his elder brother standing to inherit the position as leader, it had recently grown to include several other Kirin in the nearby area. As Kirin, they were all of a peaceful and non-combative nature, with several elders and some of the younger couples welcoming a good crop of foals. For the most part, they were neutral shades (white, gray, blue roan or black) with a hint of rainbow marking on horns, scales, hooves, eyes and the like. Within the herd lands, the majority of their time was spent in a small valley, prone to rainbows after storms.
It is not known exactly what occurred, but much of the herd was found dead in their favorite valley. Upon finding the slaughter of his family, the young stallion took off in a mix of panic and grief. In a way, Tahir has been running ever since, fleeing the memory of relatives bathed in blood, knowing he had been too busy off amusing himself to offer them any sort of help. If there are any others left alive, they are unknown at this time. As such, Tahir has adopted a bit of a stormcloud exterior to hide the fragile light in his heart.
Finding his way to this land and spending some time with varying strangers, Tahir is still without anchor or any definable home. His closest companions have become those in the Lapsang Faire, mostly artisans and tradespeople with a variety of skills. He is comfortable amidst the variety present at the Faire, both in the vendors themselves and the wares they offer. His companions each possess vibrant personalities which encourages Tahir to be truer to himself.
Personality: Once free-ranging and a little careless, this stallion has been tempered by the tragedy of his family. Beyond his sorrow, he is open-minded and easy to befriend, loyal to those he calls friend. While sometimes stoic, his friends can often encourage him out of his shell and elevate his mood. Amazed by the arts and the talents those around him possess, he is a cheerful conversationalist and a spirited debate opponent.
Friends: Nirmala, Teleri, Ko'ikku

Queen "Katya" Ekaterina Hopscotch
? x ?
 Name: Queen Ekaterina Hopscotch
Nick Name: Katya, Katerina,
Name Meaning: Ekaterina: Bulgarian and Macedonian form of KATHERINE, and a variant Russian transcription of YEKATERINA.
From the Greek name Aikaterine. The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name Hekaterine, which came from hekateros "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek aikia "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". Associated with katharos "pure".
Katya: Diminutive of YEKATERINA.
Hopscotch: Traditional Children's Game.
Type: Cheshire Cat (Spade x Heart)
Title: The Cheshire Queen
Herd: The Underland
Occupation: Queen
Temper:
Acquired: Mind's Bribe Madness
Previous Stages: Without Items
Drop Post: Here
Special Markings/Attributes: As a Cheshire Cat, Ekaterina arrives in wonderland on silent half-vanished paws, her limbs drifting into the ether. Grinning widely, with bright cerulean eyes that see all, the indigo coated mare is covered in crazy stripes that fade from bright aqua to silver like her mane. On her left shoulder is a spade-shaped marking, inherited from her sireline (Spade Clan).
Roleplay Color: #1A0649
Family:
Sire x Dam: Queen Sera of Hearts x ??? of Spades
Children (1st): BluRazberry Jinx ParTea, Heliotrope Haze, Devora Tumbang
Children (2nd): Kazamir "KC" Charades, Tiberius Solitaire, Esfir Lahal "Hunt the Thimble", Valeria Skelzie, Shahrivar StoneSkipper, Vadik Patintero
Sisters: Irina Knucklebones, Oksana Tumbang, Charlbury Chase, Catriona Cricket, Kittredge
Nieces & Nephews (I1): Zinger "Lemonberry" Hucklebones, Yunnan "Sourberry" Talibones, Meru "Darkberry" Jawbones
Nieces & Nephews (I2): Choco-Razz Truffletini "Truffluffle", Roku Gin "Hocus Pocus Black Magic", Rumple Minze "Peppermint Cordial"
Familiar: Oolong
Mate: Monfulta (Moofu)
About: Ekaterina is the first of the "Underland Band", a core group of six Cheshire Sisters that arrived in the land and seek to establish a Wonderland Herd. When departing their homeland they were in the company of others, but arriving in this land they were alone. As such, Katya hopes that one day she'll find those that had started this journey with her, and strengthen her Clan.
Ekaterina "Katya" Hopscotch never meant to become Queen at such a young age (or perhaps even at all, considering how fond of beheadings the Queen was). Well aware that the circumstances surrounding her and her sister's arrival were somewhat unorthodox (though perhaps not by Wonderland standards) she rather doubted she would ever ascend to the throne. Of course, upon arriving to this new land that was exactly what happened, in a way. She was the leader of this merry expedition, and the eldest besides, and now instead of Princess she was a Queen.
As such, she is understandably hesitant and protective of her siblings. Not one to come out and tell you she's royalty, she enjoys playing the role of "a peculiar stranger" and meeting the natives of this land. Her sisters are certainly subject to her mischievous side, and well aware that she liked to pull pranks whenever she gets the chance.
Capable of being diplomatic when it is absolutely necessary, Katya prefers a good game of Fade-Tag, collecting mushrooms in the forest, or merely sitting down for tea and cakes with those she cares about. If you're part of her family or her herd, she loves you for life... even when you try to cut off her head. The oddness of her gathered herd and her family aside, Katya is happy to make trade or barter agreements with other herds. Not only a cool-headed leader but a shrewd businesswoman. Her family blends teas and bakes cakes and treats, offering these options and flavored honey among other trade-goods.
Personality: Katya is somewhat softer than her sisters. More of a leader than a combatant, she lets Irina and Kitt and others handle more aggressive situations. Katya is often cool-headed in business dealings or a crisis, a compassionate Queen, loyal to her people and her family. A romantic at heart, Katya is in no hurry to settle down but certainly wouldn't say no to the right person, should they appear.

Grinning widely, with bright cerulean eyes that see all, the burgundy coated mare is covered in crazy stripes in a bright rose color like her mane. On her left shoulder is a spade-shaped marking, inherited from her sireline (Spade Clan).

Familiar: Chai
Mate: None (Flings); Open Relationships: Marille, Wafi
About: Irina Knucklebones considered herself a loyal enough member of the Court of Hearts, the only home she had ever known in Wonderland. True enough she had visited the hares and the hatters, the Diamond and Spade Clans, the Caterpillars and the Tulgey Wood and the Tum Tum Tree and many other sights besides... But home in the Court is where she had always lived, had always returned. One of the Elder daughters, she lived in the Queen's shadow, learning all there was to know about ruling the citizens of Wonderland. She was Katya's shadow, but also went where she could not, learned what she did not.
While still in their homeland, Irina was most prone to be part of the underbelly of their world. Weaving her way in and out of thieves and charlatans, fortune tellers and rogues, she kept an ear to the ground for any words regarding plots that may harm her siblings. To this end she has learned to gamble with the best of them, and can rub elbows with all unsavory sorts. It means she has learned to play nicely with others, though you better think twice before believing that mean she actually likes you. She's fiercely loyal to her sisters and her herd, and sometimes that means she keeps enemies closer to ensure they don't pull any fast ones over on her.
First and foremost, Irina's goal is the safety of her Kin and the preservation of their culture. It is to this end she has become a Keeper of Lore, a Teller of Tales on behalf of the Wonderland herd. While others may spin great riddles or think of the grandest games, Irina will first make note of any stories worth preserving. Then she will caper off into the woods to play games with the natives, to trick them or lead them astray. It is no mean spirit, only jests made in fun, but it can lead to some interesting results.
With her sister as the monarch, Irina has indulged in a sharper edge of her persona. She, like Kitt, would do the lion's share of defending the family in the event of an attack. Thankfully there are some warriors in the herd, which does alleviate some of the pressure. This and the birth of her three children allows Irina to return to her preferred career path, actively obtaining wares for her Black Market trade ring. With her son as the figurehead and Irina obtaining goods that are not readily traded, the offered selection of wares ensures that they are profitable and Underland benefits.
Personality: A protective sister and mother, Irina is more likely to fight than some of her sisters. Flirtatious, she is in an open relationship with a male that she loves; but emotionally attached to him and proud of her children regardless of the relationship she may have with their other parent(s).

Kawah Ijen
? x ?
 Name: Kawah Ijen
Nick Name: Ka, Kawah, Kakaw, SpicyChicken (Gethin)
Name Meaning: Name of the Volcano that Inspired Her
Type: Fire Hipogryph Ulun'Suti
Herd: The Code of Edda
Occupation: Valkyrie
Title: The Cobalt Phoenix
Temper: Ardent
Acquired: Birthday Present From Heart!
Previous Stages: N/A
Drop Post: Here
Special Markings/Attributes:
Roleplay Color: #7481DD
Family: N/A
Sons (B1-Vajrayana): Khajrayna, Khadiraka, Ashvakarna
Herdmates (Ahiri Island): Irazu,
Herdmates (CoE): Keshani Avenara, Rouxe, Ezra, Elijah, Ran,
Familiar: N/A
Mate: None (Flings); Potential?
About: Perhaps as far opposite of the mares that proceeded her as possible, Kawah Ijen hails from the far South West, beyond the Reef and the Trench. Born to a small island colony that was largely winged and able to move throughout the chain of island they called their home, she hails from a place that few in the land have heard of and none have been to. This small island clan are a simple lot; worshiping the islands that rise out of the sea to give them shelter, the sea which can take away their home whenever she chooses,and the volcanoes that are part of the chain and frequently birth new islands for them to expand to.
Because of this belief structure, the herd worships the islands more fervently perhaps than the other spirits they give thanks to, for if the volcanoes were to cease they would have no more homeland and if they were to overact the herd would be destroyed. As such, when Kawah Ijen was born with fire in her mane the color of the hottest magma, the herd took it as an omen. Declaring her a living personification of the volcano, she was relocated to a valley up in the mountains and hailed as a walking deity. To appease her -and the volcano she represented- the filly (and later, young mare) was given offerings of flowers, fruit, and various fodder as well as decorative trinkets for her person (beaded pieces, earrings, necklaces, wing adornments and the like). Upon reaching adulthood she was also offered stallions for companionship and amusement.
Little is known about what befell the herd and why she has come to this land... But she is still a child of the Volcano, of black rock and voluminous smoke, of lava that creeps and burns and sparks that fly high and fast.
Having left her volcano and herd behind, Kawah Ijen drifts through the lands in search of a new home. A little aimless at the moment, she has a habit of starting fires where she goes. Not necessarily all of the physical kind, she's liable to provoke thought and action in those she interacts with due to her curious nature. Sometimes her asking 'why' is harmless, sometimes it's the herald of an avalanche. Still, she means well and learns much and seeks a new home, a cause to serve or a people to believe in.
Personality: In general this mare is "ardent", enthusiastic and passionate about her beliefs and the cause she supports; burning. Basically, Kawah is a spitfire, a dancer in the flames of life. She's what some might describe as reckless, and certainly a bit of a hot-head if you ruffle her feathers. She can also be stubborn and downright impossible; it's no good trying to change her mind once it's been made up either, you'd sooner talk a volcano out of erupting. But she's a good friend, true and unwavering and proud, as solid as the mountains.

Personality: In general this mare is "ardent", enthusiastic and passionate about her beliefs and the cause she supports; burning. Basically, Kawah is a spitfire, a dancer in the flames of life. She's what some might describe as reckless, and certainly a bit of a hot-head if you ruffle her feathers. She can also be stubborn and downright impossible; it's no good trying to change her mind once it's been made up either, you'd sooner talk a volcano out of erupting. But she's a good friend, true and unwavering and proud, as solid as the mountains.
How did she join? Adopted: In the wake of a great avalanache that endangered the CoE Herd, Kawah Ijen arrived to lend aid. She was in the area at the time and saw Keshani striving to rescue those trapped by the snow, the Kalona-cross mare throwing herself between foals and a rush of snow and ice. With Kawah's intervention they were able to shepherd the foals to safety in a nearby cave, and set up a fire to keep them warm as they worked to ensure no one else was encased in the snow. That task done, the two mares remained behind to help the herd rebuild, and were eventually adopted.
History: Kawah Ijen hails from the far South West, beyond the Reef and the Trench. Born to a small island colony that was largely winged and able to move throughout the chain of island they called their home, she hails from a place that few in the land have heard of and none have been to. This small island clan are a simple lot; worshiping the islands that rise out of the sea to give them shelter, the sea which can take away their home whenever she chooses,and the volcanoes that are part of the chain and frequently birth new islands for them to expand to.

As such, when Kawah Ijen was born with fire in her mane the color of the hottest magma, the herd took it as an omen. Declaring her a living personification of the volcano, she was relocated to a valley up in the mountains and hailed as a walking deity. To appease her -and the volcano she represented- the filly (and later, young mare) was given offerings of flowers, fruit, and various fodder as well as decorative trinkets for her person (beaded pieces, earrings, necklaces, wing adornments and the like). Upon reaching adulthood she was also offered stallions for companionship and amusement.
Little is known about what befell the herd and why she has come to this land... But she is still a child of the Volcano, of black rock and voluminous smoke, of lava that creeps and burns and sparks that fly high and fast. Having left her volcano and herd behind, Kawah Ijen drifts through the lands in search of a new home. A little aimless at the moment, she has a habit of starting fires where she goes. Not necessarily all of the physical kind, she's liable to provoke thought and action in those she interacts with due to her curious nature. Sometimes her asking 'why' is harmless, sometimes it's the herald of an avalanche. Still, she means well and learns much and seeks a new home, a cause to serve or a people to believe in.The Code How dedicated is she to the laws? Kawah was part of a culture that believed in sacrifice for the good of all and how that would enable one to find paradise. So she does not find much difficulty in believing in the death of one granting them ultimate paradise. She is extremely dedicated to the laws.
How does she judge who is and who is not worthy of Valhalla? Kawah would need to find a Soquili that was strong and kind, and showed an inherent nobility, a general "wow" factor. He would need to be ambitious, a stallion of thought and action, and not merely a passive creature. If this is a paradise beyond all knowing, you would really need to impress her.
How does she kill? If Kawah one day finds one she feels is worthy, she will indeed say a prayer commending them to Valhalla before dealing them their death; regardless of whether she kills them with use of her hooves, horn or the fire that is hers to call. As she was once hailed as a deity and has seen her herd sacrifice a member to the embrace of the volcano before determining her a vessle of its will, she believes there is a certain ceremony to be observed for all deaths. Even those that were sent as gifts to her underwent a purification and pampering process, after all.
How does she deal with the backlash? Kawah was once the creature to which the sacrifice was made, and saw great honor in the beliefs of her herd. As she has found a new herd and a new way, she follows it with all of her heart and believe its teachings to be truth. As such, she will avoid the family of those she finds worthy, and may indeed avoid mingling with commoners outside of investigating those she believes to have the potential for Valhalla.
Is she tainted in any way? No. Kawah is serene and true in her beliefs, just as she is the living volcano so is she doing Edda's will by sending the worthy to Valhalla. There is no greater honor than that, and she will be sure one is worthy before bestowing that honor upon them. The Herd Where does she live? (Cave dormitory, other area.)
What does she do? As Kawah is from a far off island and does not care to return there, it is rare that she will travel outside the herd for her own devices. She might go on exploration flights when she feels confined, but otherwise will largely remain within the herd territory. Wandering, singing songs she knows from her homeland, and admiring the life around her will bring her joy and relaxation.
What does she do on her travels? Aside from searching for those that are worthy of Valhalla and potential stallions to sire powerful Valkyrie, she will certainly look for those that intrigue her in some way. As she likes news and learning things, she might visit with herbalists and healers, to see if they know of honorable souls, warriors or skilled stallions that may be of use. Because of her past among the island herd and their beliefs and sacrifices, it is unlikely that she will widely share the views of the herd. However, if she feels she has found a like minded individual she may share bits and pieces, in order to ascertain if they are worthy of Valhalla or have the potential to become a valkyrie. While she is not shy, she undertands that the family of those considered wothy will not thank her for the honor, as none of them did on her island home.
How likely is she to bring friends or temporary lovers to visit and how long do they stay? As Kawah is somewhat unlikely to really open herself up to outsiders without a lengthy "interview process" it is rather unlikely for her to bring friends or temporary lovers back to the herd. For the most part she will strongly favored winged courtships (because of her history and the Valkyrie ideals) so there is a possibility she might determine a stallion is worthy of such an honor and allow him to visit and meet her sisters for a time.
How closely does she follow the culture?. As Kawah grew up cut off from her home herd/culture as a living deity/personification of the volcano she is by nature solitary and independent. She approves of the instruction and education offered by the herd. On the whole she will closely adhere to the culture of the herd, as the courtship practices align with her own preferences. Children What kind of breeding partner will she look for? Kawah Ijen is open for Flings, Wishing Stars or even Repeat breeding situations (depending). It is somewhat unlikely she will Lifemate, though possible with the appropriate candidate that manages to impress her with himself and the progeny he produces. On the whole she prefers someone of intelligence, winged and those with tools (such as horns, sharp teeth, paws or claws) at their disposal. Extra eyes or those that glow/seem unusual and therefore keen will be favored. She will also favor the stallion that will pass these weapons to their offspring and therefore help her breed strong Valkyrie children (as such, if a stallion produces some exemplary children she may repeat the courtship).
What will she do if she cannot make it back to the herd in time to raise her children there? For the most part Kawah plans to stay with the herd, as she is something of a stranger in this land and has no relatives (also, few friends outside the herd). It is therefore rather unlikely she would go too far from the herd once she is heavily pregnant. Should she be caught away from the herd she would likely be in the presence of one of her sisters, likely Keshani, who would aid her as best as possible.
How committed is she to raising her children the valkyrian way? Kawah would be quite committed to raising her children the Valkyrian way, having grown up with a strong belief system and feeling as though it helped shape her for the best. Unless a daughter proved herself highly unsuitable for the herd, she would prefer they be raised within herd territory and herd beliefs. In the generality she would prioritize females as they are the Valkyrie, and be more likely to allow a son to be raised by his sire/someone outside of the herd. However, in specifics it might depend on the foal in question, personalities, if their views clash, etc. If she feels utterly disconnected from a filly but wishes for the daughter to be raised a Valkyrie, she might seek help from the herd.
How does she help raise children? Kawah Ijen is a skilled singer and storyteller, due to the traditions of her former herd. She is also an accomplished dancer (The Fire Dancer) and beliefs both song and dance can be a very important part of ritual. Lessons on alternate spiritualities or beliefs (gleaned from her wanderings) could also be shared with foals as she was once an outsider and would have a better scope of this than those born to the herd.
How (un)likely is she to adopt? If a foal was rejected by a parent, found abandoned in the territory or in some other way in need of guidance, it is very possible she would step forward to raise the youngling.

Roleplay Color: #810A15
Family:
Great Great Great Grand Sire x Great Great Great Grand Dam (Helaku): Delphia x Sora
Great Great Grand Dam x Great Great Grand Sire (Akila): Olathe x Helaku
Great Grand Dam x Great Grand Sire (Aure): Sekhmet x Erik
Great Grand Dam x Great Grand Sire (Halia): Akila x Tsani
Great Grand Dam x Great Grand Sire (Aveshar): Whistle x Ballad
Grand Dam x Grand Sire (Masque): Halia x Aureate
Grand Dam x Grand Sire (Avant): Kanti Nuttah x Aveshar
Dam x Sire: Masque x Avant Resari
Siblings: Ars Antiqua, Ultima Canticum
Familiar: N/A
Mate: Seraphiel
About: Raised by a rather unorthodox trio of parents (Avant, Masque and Delrialto), Sonata was grew up having very little in common with her two siblings. While Ars and Ultima were much more 'kalona' in temper, she adhered more to her mother's gentle, musical nature. While her siblings could while away the hours hunting or attempting to outdo each other, Sona quickly grew disenchanted with the whole thing.
As she grew up and into her voice as well as her wings, Sona began to wander. She sought out the Faythren relations from her sire's grandsire's side of the family, visited with her mother's people, and eventually managed to run into her dad's kindred too. Not really feeling at home amongst any of the three herds, she tended to return to her parents lands and bask in theit attention.
In adulthood Sona crossed paths with a few of the artisans from the Ren Faire Herd. After learning of their work with pottery and metal, as well as being advised of the many other wonderful wares offered for the Faire, she tried to determine a craft that best suited her. Without clever claws or paws to craft pieces, Sona instead realized that her passion for flowers could indeed be turned into a trade. As such, she began experimenting with crossing rose varieties and breeding her own species, clipping choice blooms and arranging them in bouquets and the like.
At first glance, one might judge this mare a little harshly. In spite of her dark coloring, daunting features and her fierce relatives, Sonata is as sweet as they come. A little reclusive to better tend to the flowers and plants she loves so dearly, this gardener and florist still regularly visits with various herds and the Lapsang Faire and Market. Happily bestowing flowers upon her friends and family, she makes a point to present a high-quality selection of flowers, herbs and more at the market for sale. She also supplies various vendors with her plants so that they may work fresh ingredients into their own wares.
Sonata harvests flowers and herbs for teas, herbal remedies, medicine and other purposes. Flowers may be harvested for fragrances to apply as perfumes or add to candles that one of her new friends makes. From time to time she'll wander to find new flower varieties, gather seeds and clippings, or trade some of her newer creations/wares.
Personality: Though part of the line which consider themselves 'The Dark Fayth', Sonata is equally a child of SilverShadow and the Phantom Clan. While not morally aligned with her dark relations, she does still dearly love her family in spite of what their beliefs may lead them to do. Sona is merciful, sociable and loyal. A clever and shrewd business woman, she has made friends with several of the artisans and merchants at local markets. When not gardening and selling her wares, she can be convinced to sing or dance for the entertainment of her friends and companions. At the end of it all, her heart belongs to one stallion, and she can frequently be found sheltering under his wings.
Friends: Kawah Ijen, Sovanna, Cara Mia Aurum,

Amacha Nigella "Love in the Mist"
? x ?
 Name: Amacha Nigella "Love in the Mist"
Nick Name: Amai,
Name Meaning: Amacha: "sweet tea"; Nigella: a variation of flower, nigella damascena is also called love-in-a-mist, ragged lady, devil in the bush etc.
Love in the Mist: The name of this plant comes from a legend about the Emperor Frederick I, who drowned in a shallow Turkish river as he was leading a Crusade. According to the story, he was seduced by a water spirit drowned him in the hip-deep water and this plant sprang up on the shore. Some of love-in-a-mist's other common names--jack in prison, love-in-a-tangle, and devil-in-a-bush--show that airy-fairy love spells can be as binding and as powerful as the worst hex or curse. In the Victorian language of flowers, which better fits with how this plant can be used for love charms, love-in-a-mist means "kiss me" or "you puzzle me." ((More Here))
Type: Teacup Flutter
Title: A Cup of Mischief
Temper: Shapeshifting
Acquired: Ball and Teacups Game during The Enchanted Tea Garden Event
Previous Stages: Without Items; Original Teacup; Teacup Fall Items; Mushrooms; Mushrooms Fall Items
Drop Post: Cert Drop Post
Special Markings/Attributes: Amacha is mostly black, with the faintest of dappling over her back and high up on her head. Her hooves are dainty and that of a kirin, her horn a gentle glowing blue arcing Unicorn horn that matches her eyes. Her tail also speaks to her unicorn heritage, a black and tasseled length. After a recent Fantasy Renaissance Faire, she now bears a crown of flowers and a fur shawl in the colors of her beloved, Briathos.
Roleplay Color: #55E1DB
Family: N/A
Grand Dam x Grand Sire: N/A
Dam x Sire: N/A
Siblings: N/A
Familiar: N/A
Love: Briathos
About: Amacha Nigella, also known as "Love in the Mist", arrived in the lands at the height of the Enchanted Tea Garden Party. Surrounded by fellow foreigners and locals alike, she delighted in sampling the wares and foods offered during the event. Jewelry, fabrics, pottery, adornments, food, beverages and more were hers to sample and delight in. She relished in the games and the entertainments such as song and story and dance. As a result of such varied interests, she's a decent entertainer and delightful companion. And when the party wound down, the black mare decided to stay, settling in territory not far from the Cheshire Cats newly established Underland.
Due to her interest in tea and tea cakes, the nearness of the Cheshire Cats and their tendency to hold regular teaparties seemed particularly advantageous. For a time, as she was not allied with the herd, she tended to lurk at the outskirts and shrink herself down to her smaller size when she wanted to steal a snack. Eventually the Cheshire Queen noticed that tea and cakes began to go missing, and wound up catching the Flutter mare in a teapot. After a discussion in which Katya realized Amacha was much like the prankster Cheshire Irina, the Queen decided to turn the flutter free and welcome her as a friend to the herd instead. Amacha now has a standing invitation to the tea parties, and no need to hide her presence there.
As this playful flutter mare's idea of fun is tricking those that are evil or dangerous, she takes great delight in frisking through swamps. When small, lit by her bright eyes and horn, she makes a convincing will-o-the-wisp impersonation. Using this bright blue glow, she does her level best to lure Skinwalkers into pockets of quicksand or bog, to sink them. Whether this results in their demise or just serves to annoy or trap them until unfortunate prey can escape, is entirely their own business and no concern of hers.
As a friend, she's a barrel of laughs to be around. Quick-witted and delightful, happy to chatter about any matter of subjects. She has interest in the arts though practices none (aside from a bit of mischief and perhaps some theatrics) herself. Tricky though she may be, she's loyal to those that she chooses to befriend. Pranks are her preferred form of entertainment, aside from sinking Skinwalkers (her favorite game); but if you need a friendly shoulder or a sympathetic ear she can also offer you that if you've gotten on her good side. Nothing is shared or said about her home or herd or any relations, but she's good friends with Dyani Alumine and some others that can be found wandering nearby.
Personality: Shapeshifting her moods just as she changes her size, Amacha can be hard to pin down. She's a little malicious toward those that mean evil, preferring to lead them astray or play the part of the will-o-the-wisp when she gets the chance. When not taunting or catching predators in clever traps, she delights in a good party or a fun game. Frequently in collusion with the Cheshires of Underland, she trades in teas and tricks, delights in cakes and treacle, and generally believes in Unbirthdays being the greatest of delights. A stout friend, but no one is immune or exempt from her tricks and schemes.

She's happy to give examples of art techniques, answer questions about her wares, make conversation about the festival/other vendors/a variety of casual subjects.

As she may also be called to play a variety of theatrical roles with the herd, she is an experienced entertainer and actress.
While her gathering and experimenting with herbs was first designed to help her craft new paints and glazes for her wares she also offers a selection of dye cakes which can be used for thread and fabric.

Friends: Terhi Tarik, Yilmaz Duman, Can't See The Forest, Sonata Notturno, Cara Mia Aurum, Teleri Lindai, Eteri Voska, Telumendil "The Starkeeper", Ecthelion "The Starcatcher", Elentari
Familiars  Name: Terhi Tarik
Meaning: Terhi: Short form of Terhenetär, which was derived from Finnish terhen "mist"
Tarik: A type of tea (teh tarik literally 'pulled tea'). Means "he who knocks at the door" in Arabic. This is the Arabic name of the morning star.
Species: Milky Tea Souchong Hawk
Herd: Lapsang Traveling Herd
Mate: N/A
ShipName: N/A
Children: N/A
Temper: Smooth
About: Hailing from deep within the Tea Herd's lands, Terhi Tarik is a somewhat mysterious soul. Even-tempered and easy to befriend, the hawk often pitches in wherever he can be of assistance even when not on duty. However, he is happy to wander the wilds in search of herbs and flowers, and any other elements that might be useful in the creation of dye, paint, pigments and the like.
Regarding his roles within the herd, Terhi is a member of the security for the Faire, carrying a pouch filled with pigment balls that he can use to mark thieves. Perched high in a tree where he can see all, the hawk carefully watches over the merchants quarter and can call alarms when he sees thieves taking advantage of a turned back or a busy market stall. He then swoops down and smashes one of his pigment "bombs" on the thief. (The bombs are red, unless the perpetrator is red, in which case Terhi uses black. Regardless, both pigments are VERY glittery, so it is easy who has been caught stealing!)
He also watches for other happenings, such as unexpected fires, fights, injuries, incoming weather, deaths, births and so on. There are a variety of alarms he calls for such occurrences. Curious, keen-eyed, eager for adventure and happy to travel. He also works to gather herbs for Sovanna to flavor her teas, and to dry/grind into dye/glaze/paint for the pottery and porcelain she makes.
Additional Info:
*Collects various ink and pigments as a matter of interest
*Enjoys all types of tea
*Happy to gather herbs and such for tea or baking/cooking
*Works closely with the Potter and Dye Mistress Sovanna, his "Spirit Sibling"
Special Abilities Wood Ulun'sutiStereotype: Wood ulun'suti are perhaps closest to the earth ulun'suti, and the two are often found in herds together. Where earth ulun'suti tend to be pretty solid and reliable, wood ulun'suti tend to have high standards and expectations, with few who make the cut. They are constantly searching for ways to better themselves, physically and spiritually, and have little regard for those they consider fools. Despite their proud nature, the wood ulun'suti are spiritual, shamans in a sense, and fill their days with a high regard to neighboring spirits and meditation. Powers: 1. Invigorate: This power can be used by both pure, as well as mixed- or half-breed wood ulun'suti. The ulun'suti can invigorate and encourage local plant growth and reproduction. Trees tend to grow leafier and stronger, while vines and grasses grow longer and much more plush. Any plant is affected by this, including seaweed and kelp, provided they are within the area of effect and concentration. This ability does not happen naturally though - the ulun'suti must focus on an area (or a specific plant) and use his or her energy. This often happens during their prayers or meditations, and the effect may be slow but significant over a little bit of time.

Eteri Voska
Sierra x Raikinti
 Name: Eteri Voska
Nick Name: Teri, Voska,
Name Meaning: Eteri: Means "ether, air" in Georgian. This name features in the Georgian opera 'Abesalom and Eteri'.
Voska: A manipulation of "Voski": Means "gold" in Armenian.
Type: Cerynei x Unicorn Cross
Title: Wild Light's Healer
Temper: Romantic
Acquired: Staff Credit Breeding, Bought by Odet, Colored by Uta!
Previous Stages: Basket, Foal, Adult, Fall Items
Drop Post: Basket Drop Post, Foal Drop Post, Basket/Foal Certs, Adult Uncert Drop, Adult Cert Drop, Fall Item Cert
Special Markings/Attributes: Eteri is mahogany coated like her sire, with white striping she inherited from Raik and white patches on her forefeet from Sierra. She also has a white blaze ending in a faint pink on her muzzle. Her hooves are all a light sky blue as is the slightly curving horn on her forehead. Her mane and tail are a soft gold, also from Sierra. Blue flowers are worn in her mane like her mother. Heterochromia; one green eye and one blue eye.
Roleplay Color: #95461B
Family: Family Tree Here
Grand Dam x Grand Sire: N/A
Dam x Sire: Sierra x Raikinti
Siblings: Veluri Sinatlis & Zareen Kohinoor
Familiar: N/A
Mate: None (Single)
About: Born from an early tryst between the somewhat elusive Raikinti and shy Sierra, Eteri Voska is the third born child. In adulthood she jokes to those who may inquire that she is a child of love, for her parents are as true a love match as she has ever seen. Due to being their youngest for so long, she is somewhat accustomed to being treated as the baby, their treasure, and doted on by her parents. (Her relationship with siblings is as of yet, unknown.) She is somewhat more outgoing than her parents, being unendingly curious and a joyous creature. Prone to wandering (with or without company) she is as likely to find trouble as not.
Curious in nature, she is happy to wander and catalog all the knowledge she manages to acquire. Due to unicorn blood she is a natural healer and works to expand her knowledge of this gift as well as any herbs that may aid her in this duty. As such she is a bit of an herbalist or simpler, often carrying herbs and flowers in pouches or strung in her hair should the need arise for their use.
She is somewhat eager to see more of the world than she has, which led to her being caught in a strange forest during a fierce storm. When she awoke she was trapped by felled branches and trees, and had to be freed by one of the inhabitants. Hallon ( a knight in training) had to come to the filly's aid. Upon learning he'd rarely been beyond the border of his forest, she took it upon herself to show him some of the places she had wandered, if he would teach her some of what he knew.
Like her mother, Eteri is blessed with a unicorn horn and therefore has a natural ability to heal. While she has not had any sort of formal training, she has been schooled by family and friends that share the abilities. Still, she's done all she can to learn how to improve and strengthen her skills, and knows how to supplement them with herblore when the occasion calls for it. As such, she is always trying to help those around her and cannot resist someone in need. This may lead her into trouble eventually, as she is such a trusting soul.
In her wandering, Eteri eventually fell in with several of the artists, patrons and attendants of the Lapsang Traveling Reenactment Faire. She is friends to glass artists, potters, dye-makers, candle makers, gardeners, florists, dancing girls, warriors and more. It is through their influence she comes to be a more widely-traveled individual, with a range of friends.
Personality: Eteri is moderately soft-spoken among strangers but lights up among her friends. A trusting healer and herb-specialist, she also helps several of her friends who garden and farm. Around Sovanna, Amacha, Telumendil and some others there's a more relaxed, playful side of her to be seen. In the group, Eteri tends to encourage her more extravagant friends in their jokes, pranks, stories and shenanigans. She's got a wicked sense of humor, as well as a sultry flirty side.
Friends: Morien, Masaru, Lotan The Revenant, Amacha Nigella, Teleri Lindai,

Falmari Aqualonde
Teleri Lindai x Morrow
 Name: Falmari Aqualondë
Nick Name: Fal
Name Meaning: Falmari: Falmari "wave-folk", a name of the Teleri. The Teleri ('Those who come last') were the third of the Elf clans who came to Aman. Those who came to Aman became known as the Falmari. They were the ancestors of the Valinorean Teleri, and the Sindar, Laiquendi, and Nandor of Middle-earth
Aqualondë (or Alqualondë): also known as Haven of the Swans and the Haven, was the chief city of the Falmari on the shores of Aman.
Type: Angeni-Lona (TriWing Carrier)
Title: The Prince of Swans
Temper: Tranquil
Acquired: CYO 2015; Plushie by Aria, Picked by Uta
Previous Stages: N/A
Drop Post: Uncert Drop,
Special Markings/Attributes: With a sire that is blind and a dam that is colorblind, it is no surprise Falmari was born with unusual eyes. Solid black, they are highly adept at seeing through the dark. However, the tradeoff is that he is very sensitive to light. As such, Fal prefers woodsy spaces, cloudy/stormy days, caves and other shaded locals. He is a Kalona x Angeni crossbreed, and as such has wings reflecting both sides as well as kalona horns. His pelt closely resembles his sire, while his mane and tail and wings are a legacy of his mother. He also bears the white markings outlined in red that Teleri has in red and black; a spiderweb and a strange curling design on his face.

About: It seems that in the winter months, the strange spirits and tricksters awaken in the land. In their wandering they frequently find or make their own amusements, and as such many strange creatures have come to the lands of late. These trickster spirits, wishing stars, and other such mystical forces have the power to bring ones wishes (good or bad) to life. Hearing word of such magic, a white mare steals away from her herd and goes to wish most fervently before the Wishing Star. Her words are caught on the breeze, borne on the wind to the ears of the spirits, whom decide to grant her what she asks. Thus does a white raven with many eyes and trailing tail feathers come to the lands. Thus too does a somber white raven with strange markings upon his head arrive shortly thereafter. And it is under these very same circumstances that Falmari Aqualonde came to be in this place.
His mother was the fair Teleri Lindai, white daughter of The Flock and far-flying wanderer, stole away from her herd at every chance. Much of the time it was to visit the strange spirit of the forest she had come to care for so deeply, but upon hearing stories of magical stars and kindly spirits that would bestow children upon those they found worthy, the mare undertook journeys to find these powerful forces. To this end, Teleri made several wishes to the stars and the spirits when the world slept under a blanket of white. While the first few wishes were for wise companions to assist her in her travels, her deepest wish was for something more... This was the wish for children, children of herself and the strange, elusive stallion she had come to love so much. Morrow would never be accepted by The Flock, even if he wished to leave his home to join her there... And even if he did, and his strange features overlooked, he would be most unhappy and their courtship disapproved. As such, Teleri wished for children representing the entwined bloodlines of herself and the stallion she could so rarely visit, and it seems the spirits saw fit to answer.
It is to this end that Falmari appeared, walking out of the wilds to greet his mother as winter began to lose its grip on the land. For his part, Falmari is indeed a child of his parents. He has his mother's restless spirit, and though he dwells near her and the Flock; though he is discontent there. He prefers the darkness of thick forest when the opportunity arises, and indeed his eyes are most sensitive and he has a dislike of sunlight. When possible, he will remain in the shadows during daylight hours, having his companion hawk Amarie run any errands that may need doing. The markings and his flowing white mane and tail are also of Teleri, as are the two pairs of mis-matched wings he bears proudly. But Falmari's patterning and his strange solid eyes allude to his sire, Morrow, whom his mother says has no eyes at all and dwells always in the heart of his beloved forest. Stories of his strange sire intrigue him, and Falmari hopes one day that their paths may cross, even if he must visit the forest itself to ensure that happens.
Sooner or later, his restless heart (a legacy of the Amachi Clan) will win out and Falmari will resume wandering. Amarie will accompany him, his eyes and messenger in the daylight hours and a way to keep in easy contact with his mother. However, it is very likely that one (or both) of Teleri's Ravens will follow from time to time, eager to check up on their charge's only child. Before he goes he will have spent time tending the beehives with his great grand sire, and when he goes he will take knowledge of this skill with him to settle in a new place. When he does find his new home, with few other craft skills to fall back on, Falmari will begin to cultivate some of the wild swarms into producing honey for him. Setting up tempting places to build hives for the bees, he will likely focus on an area with wildflowers, and possibly a secondary location with clover to start. With care for the health and happiness of his bees, the stallion will live in solitude for a time, perhaps crossing paths with few wanderers and artists.
Eventually, the hives will thrive under his care. This will lead to Falmari becoming an excellent source of beeswax, bee pollen and fresh honey of differing varieties. (In the future he will become trade partners with some of the artisans in and out of the Renaissance Faire Herd and possibly members of the Underland Herd, whom will trade for wax to use in candles or honey for tea.) When he does strike out on his own and settle into tending his bees, it is unlikely that Falmari agree to join another herd. Instead he will probably establish a few additional hives for the wild bees to find, and travel between these points tending them and gathering his wares for trade.
If he has not done so by this point, Falmari will likely gather some of his wares and go wandering. Ideally his meandering path, taken mostly at night and through tense forest or at least moderate coverage from older canopy, will eventually lead him to the forest where his sire dwells. If they have not met yet, this will lead to somewhat awkward conversation as Falmari realizes just who this stranger is... The similarity in appearance is impossible to ignore, and it suits the stories or comments his mother mas made throughout his life. He may or may not stay awhile to learn more about Morrow, but is unlikely to reveal himself the stallion's son for some time. However, if this first visit is short, Falmari might leave his sire a small token (some honey or bee pollen, if only for the Kodama to enjoy) before traveling again. Should he cross paths with his mother around the same time, Falmari is unlikely to speak of meeting his father, preferring first to learn more about Morrow before approaching the subject with Teleri. (Likely this will be after Teleri and Morrow have had baskets, and one of Teleri's daughters sneak off to the forest to "find" the "monster" she's heard stories and whispers about.)
Eventually, Falmari (and likely his younger siblings) will serve as the catalyst that bring his parents back together. He knows the path won't be smooth for anyone, but he also knows that he wants his parents to be happy.

About: A soft-spoken but cheerful soul, Amarie arrived in the lands shortly after the appearance of Falmari Aqualonde. A child of the mountains and somewhere beyond them, she has a strangely lilting tone to her voice that speaks of distant kingdoms.

Masaru
Sabella x Torao
 Name: Masaru
Nick Name: Saru
Name Meaning: Means "victory" in Japanese.
Type: Spirited Ground; Asian Tiger
Title: The Sumi-e Tiger
Temper:
Acquired: A Gift from Niss
Previous Stages: Basket, Foal, Naked Adult
Drop Post: Foal Uncert Drop, Adult Cert Drop
Special Markings/Attributes: A soft rose color overall, Masaru has brushstroke markings on all four legs, face, chest and rump. Marks form flourish-like shapes, flowers, and delicate brushstroke marks. These are something like the Sumi-e mutations seen elsewhere in the land, save for the fact that they are flat on his coat and not emphasizing lines of his form. Ranging from graceful flourishes to flower-shaped markings these flat painted markings are a legacy of his family. Either black or dark purple, somewat like his mane. With regards to ornaments: he also has cherry blossoms in his hair, a small fur capelet around his withers (sunset colored and tiger striped), and a gold comb in his mane. These are however optional, and he can sometimes be seen without them.
Roleplay Color: #3F0B17
Family:
Dam x Sire: Sabella x Torao
Siblings: Reiko & Tadaaki
Familiar: N/A
Mate: Shizuka
About: Masaru is the middle child, born one of three foals, which share three parents. The foals father, his mate and the mare that became their mother live as a single family with their foals and the children they have received as gifts from the spirits, Wishing Stars and other unorthodox avenues. Though the triad is something unconventional, the family is a happy and peaceful one, welcoming and supportive.
Due to having spirited, free-willed parents both Masaru and his siblings grew up wild and fierce. They have ever been bold and wide-wandering, indulging their curiosity with and without supervision. Sometimes overshadowed by the protective instincts of their parents or Wishing Star siblings, the foals are rather adept at escaping to find themselves in trouble until the dragon guardians arrive. Though his siblings were selected as companions by the strange dragon-otters, Masaru himself is still something of a free-agent.
Growing up wandering more or less as he liked has led to Masaru becoming a sometimes-reckless, often stubborn young stallion. One could say that without a voice of reason in the form of an attentive familiar, Masaru has fallen into something of a roguish lifestyle. He is something of a thief, albeit a conscientious one, preferring to take on clients that have objects to regain rather than those that would hire him for blatant theft. There is all the more emotional reward to be obtained when he steals something back from a party and returning it to the wronged party. That being said, for the right price, he's happy to liberate objects of importance of value from their true owners.
However, he does not allow harm to come to mares or foals when he is working, and can hire local talent for the sake of misdirection or assistance when he feels the situation requires it. Though he himself does not injure or allow injury to befall those he may rob, Masaru eventually falls in with an assassin herd. This is largely due to his becoming enamored with the mare that resides among them, a fierce lady in shades of white and purple.
Masaru makes no judgement on his compaions, he knows that there are several in the land that deserve killing. Content to wave them away on their tasks, Masaru will continue to take theft assignments to keep his skills sharp, and to pass the time while his companions are out working on their own projects.
Personality: Thought a bit small compared to most stallions, Masaru is sturdy and squarely built. This plucky stallion makes up for his size by being quite fierce. Loyal, strategic,
