InformationAs a trained healer beyond just the powers of their horns, and a solemn, reserved mare in general, Libra (or Libby as her sister frequently calls her) prefers to stay in the heart of the herd, and gets nervous when left alone.
Libra and her Twin Sister were just entering the cusp of adulthood, having been trained from birth by their mother to take after her as healers of mind, body, and spirit, when the herd came under attack.
The Twins had been separated as part of her mothers final ceremonial trial to accept them in as full fledged healers. Libra, as the eldest, was taken into the isolated area first, swearing oaths of purity of blood (so their line's horns would never falter in their potent healing powers, she may never be lifemated to a stallion of anything less than pure blood: if a stallion of such quality should for whatever reason not be found, she may dally with stallions with healing horns but never love long.), of loyalty to the herd (to stay with it and protect those within), and the Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. She was then left in her secluded, hidden grotto to meditate over night by her mother, who left to go give her sister her oaths, with the words of a mothers pride and that she would collect her in the morning as a fully fledged Healer.
The sounds she heard that night in the darkness left her scarred, afraid to leave her hidden grotto, hopeful that this was in some form part of the test.
The next morning, it was her Sister who came to her -- mother had never come, and instead their father had found her exploring the area near where her mother had left her to wait her turn, before they came and found Libra. Confused and upset as to why her mother never came, still thinking, hoping that this was some part of the test, Libra ran to the herds territory, and had to be dragged away in frantic tears and sobs from the bloodshed, her sister once more told to stay behind.
As their father took them to search for survivors who ventured off, leaving the bloodied ground, Libra was closed off and fearful of others, untrusting and at times angrily lashing out, sticking as close to possible to her father and frustrated by her twins constantly venturing off to make new friends.
When the survivors of the herd were rediscovered, she quickly latched herself in the heart of it -- she never wanted to be left alone ever again, as if her being alone somehow killed all those people, including her mother, as if she had convinced herself to leave and go in, she could have changed what happened some how.

Likes: Her herd,
Dislikes: Being alone,
Looking ForFuture Plots• She'd likely take up the role as a teacher of medicine and healing, helping others advance their own abilities and increase the amount of healers available.
• She's terrified of being left alone, since the last time she was so many people got killed, so there would likely be plots based around that
• She's sworn an oath of keeping the line pure as possible, and since it was one of the last things she promised her mother, its something she plans on keeping -- Meaning she'll only ever breed with Pure unicorns or, if push comes to shove, half unicorn with the horn or an alicorn, though she'd only do so for a damn good reason that'd help the herd in some way OTHER than just "more babies"). However she's also sort of a**l about it: She wont lifemate a stallion who doesnt know his pedigree to at least three generations back (his Great Grandparents) as pureblooded unicorns, and if anything out of the ordinary came out of it she might break it off (or insist it becomes an open relationship as to keep her from breaking her oath completely while keeping her relationship)
• Will actually try to convince at least a few of the original members to make the same oath of purity (or at least a similar one) : while she has no hate towards those who aren't, she didn't see many pure blooded unicorns in her travels and worries that, perhaps, pureblooded unicorns were dying out.. (*Note: Orion has mentioned swearing this oath himself in an rp already since timeline wise he is younger than the twins.)
