Casus

Name: Casus (meaning "misadventure")
Gender: female
Age: 6
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities: Mild magicker
Family: Andramalech (foster father), Cescerano (foster sister), Delita (foster brother), Ruris (foster brother, deceased)
Other Relations:
Description: Her body is a bright, sunny yellow, with dark grey stockings on both forelegs. Her mane and tail are a deep violet, her horn and hooves are pale silver. The feathering on her hindlegs match her coat color, but the feathering on her forelegs, her ear tassles, and her beard are all a dark indigo. She has a dark, jagged scar over her right eye, which is blood red and blind, contrasting sharply with her left eye, which is whole and dusty blue. She is on the smallish side, and gives the impression of being sickly, even when well.
Personality: Quiet and withdrawn, though when she does speak, it is frank and honest. As she is half-blind and can barely see what her right eye looks like in her reflection, she can only go on the expressions of those who have seen her face. She believes herself to be a freak of nature, and keeps to herself as much as possible.
Background: Only she knows what happened to her before she and her older brother arrived at the Hills three years past, when the cut across her eye was still fresh. They kept to themselves even then, speaking only when spoken to, and only providing just enough information to insure their survival in the Hills. Ruris, her brother, died two years after they had arrived, leaving his barely half-grown sister alone in their little grotto. But her loner ways didn't change - if anything, she became even more withdrawn. She took to wandering the countryside near the Hills, never wandering too far, and always returning to the Hills within a few days and going straight back to her grotto. She has refused to join the warrior ranks, as well as any offers to become an alcolyte.

Kamehb

Name: Kamehb (meaning 'stone')
Gender: gelding
Age: 12 years
Species: Dayan
Most Likely Found:
Abilities:
Family:
Other Relations: Nak (friend and stablemate in the City of Fire)
Description: He is a sooty palomino color, with one white sock on his right hind leg, and a thin blaze down his face. His eyes are a creamy brown. He's of a moderate size, and though his back has begun to sway, and his coat is beginning to grey from age, he still carries enough strength to fend for himself. Like the others of his kind, he bears a crescent-shaped brand on one flank, as well as many scars from whips and tethers across his hide.
Personality: Calm and quiet, very accepting of things he cannot change. Longs to find somewhere to belong, free of his previous life of pain and humility.
Background: Kamehb led the life of a common da without much complaint. It was his lot in life, and he made the most of it. It seemed that way with many of the gelded da - after they lost interest in mating, they had to find pride in something, or become lost in misery at what they could no longer have. He had seen a few travel that path....they died quickly, worn out by years of hauling, of lashings, of being left to the weather.
One day, there was a commotion amongst the daya gathered at the market. One of their own, they said, had spoken with the horned wonder that resided in the palace of the chon! He had been appalled at their state! Perhaps now, things would change for the common da. At least, that was the wish of the youngest generation.
Soon enough, it became so. The chon had fallen, and the daicha had taken over. Now, only a few foals were gelded each year, and the population of the da had grown. But Kamehb's keeper had no changed much over the years, and he still kept the gelding working hard for his living.One stormy night, while Kamehb was dosing in his ramshakle stable with his friend Nak, a young two-foot stranger entered amid shouts from the outside. Glancing back and forth between the two geldings, he grabbed Kamehb's rope halter and pulled himself onto the da's back. Frightened and confused, Kamehb bolted from the stable with the two-foot clinging to his neck, beating him with his arms and legs in an effort for the gelding to move faster. He'd never been ridden before.
After breaking through throngs of the daicha's guards (and through the front gate), Kamehb was left weakened and bloody, but was still too terrified to slow in his strides. Running wildly, he trod over a particularly sharp rock, which cut deep into his right front hoof. Blinded by rage and pain, fear and confusion, he ran right off the cliffs and into the churning water below, crushing the body of the two-foot under his weight.
When he awoke again, he was on an unfamiliar shore, with nothing easily recognizable in sight.

Phenex

Name: Phenex
Gender:Stallion
Age:9
Species:Full Unicorn
Most Likely Found:The Plains
Abilities:Dreaming sight
Family: Dam: Wayra, Sire: Unknown, Half-Siblings: Wasp, Parus, Hornet, Ambrosia, Adoptive Dam: Gehenna, Adoptive Granddam: Mironah
Other Relations: Description:Phen's main color is an inky black, but many irregular splotches and stripes of gold brighten up his coloring considerably. Gold covers his muzzle, left eye, and his right ear. Wide stripes streak his neck and legs, and a large blanket of the same color covers his back from his withers to his tail, though his belly remains untouched by any light hair. Both his left legs have golden socks. His mane and tail are a vivid crimson. His eyes are clear grey. His hooves are a deep, dull red, while his horn is a bright gray-blue. He is long and lean, though a bit on the short side.
Personality:Phen's varied background gives him an interesting outlook on life. He's quick to anger, but prefers to use sarcasm and wit before actual violence. Most of what he does is only for his own amusement. He permits himself few friends, as he tends to view any other creature as a burden. He feels like he should hate Longdances, but is fascinated by them at the same time. His half-siblings tend to bring out the worst in him.
Background:Phen's mother, Wayra, was never very good at being a mother. She had a famously nasty temper and any little thing the colt did would set her off. One morning, after a particularly long journey followed by a Longdance the night before, the mare simply snapped and drove the young colt off. He was a weanling, his horn only a half foot long. Luckily for Phenex, he was found by the green and gold painted mare Gehenna, who took him in as her own. He walked on eggshells the first year or two of living with his new family, which included the strict but kindhearted Mironah, waiting for them to tire of him and scorn him like his mother had. The waiting, along with his quickly developing dreams, broke down the colt's mind just as fast as the constant fear from his true dam. Eventually, when he was in his fifth year, he left his new family and has been wandering alone since.

Coulea

Name: Coulea
Gender: Mare
Age: 6
Species: Dayan/Unicorn cross
Most Likely Found: The Plains
Abilities:
Family: Namadae (dam, Da) and Windseeker (sire, unicorn)
Other Relations: Unborn sibling
Description: Coulea is a Dayan cross, bearing the full hooves and tail of her dam and the horn and mane of her sire. She has no sign of a beard as of this point, but the thought of having one or not having one doesn't trouble her in the least. Her main color is a bright gold, but along her topline runs a varying stripe of sapphire blue which starts in a point around the base of her horn, widens to form "wings" at her shoulders before narrowing again and running down into a stripe through her otherwise white tail. Her mane is a darker blue than her dorsal stripe, and is heavy with feathers of varying colors, shades, and sizes. Her hooves are a darker gold than her coat, her horn a bright blue, and her eyes are deep forest green.
Personality: Coulea is a happy filly, full of life and a hunger for knowledge. She is facinated by birds and often dreams of what it must be like to fly. Her favorite lay is that of the Mare of the World, and she's based her obsession of filling her mane with feathers around that lay. Her most prized possessions are the cardinal's feather in her forelock and the dust-blue heron's feather at the crest of her tail.
Background: Coulea's lived her entire life on the Mare's Back, traveling with her sire and dam, learning of both cultures. She's had no formal training in anything, but learns easily. She's only recently set out on her own little trek, since her dam has become pregnant again and her parents have settled down at Alma's Heart to have the little one.
Nyarratopatev

Name:Nyarratopatev
Gender: Filly
Age:2
Species:Full Unicorn
Most Likely Found:The Plains
Abilities:None obvious yet, but has very vivid dreams.
Family:Family: Dam: Monata (deceased), Sire: Wheathide, Aunt/Foster Dam: Lightheel, Aunt: Rainmane, Uncle: Thorntail
Other Relations:
Description:Nyarra is a healthy size for her age, despite being born to an older mare. Her body is mainly a greenish golden color, like yellowing grass, but she has patches of a darker golden, smoky color at random across her back, sides, and neck. She seems to shimmer like heat haze when she moves, almost giving the impression that her coat is smoking. Her right foreleg has a tall stocking of black, while the rest of her legs fade down into a pale reddish orange. She has an uneven black blaze that covers both her ears and her entire muzzle, deep green eyes, and her horn is sprouting in an intense, metallic blue. Her mane and tail are a blue-green mixture, and the feathering at her fetlocks is black on all but her black leg, and the feathering there, as well as her beard and ear tufts, is pale cream. Her hooves are black.
Personality:Easily spooked and storm shy, but very sweet and gentle. She's one of those children who knows no strangers and loves absolutely everyone and won't hesitate to strike up conversations.
Background:Nyarra was born as the last foal for both her parents, as both were getting on in years. Wheathide had called on the assistance of his half-sister, Lightheel, because Monata was having a great deal of trouble keeping weight on both herself and her filly. Fortunately, Lightheel was able to help supplement the filly with various herbs, but unfortunately, Monata was very close to Alma and simply died in the night shortly after Nyarra was weaned. Lightheel took in her niece after that.

Lightheel

Name:Lightheel
Gender:Mare
Age:9
Species:Full Unicorn
Most Likely Found:The Plains
Abilities:Healer
Family:Dam: Frosteyes, Sire: Flit, Half-Siblings: Wheathide, Thorntail, Rainmane, Adopted Daughter: Nyarratopatev
Other Relations:Mentor: Quiet
Description:Lightheel is tall and slender, very fragile and willowy looking. She is sea-green in color, which darkens at her shoulders and around her left eye and lightens on her legs, belly, and hips. Her left hind leg has a tall, broken stocking of white, and she has a crooked white blaze. Her mane, tail, beard, and ear tufts are pale green, and her horn fades from sea-green to sea-blue. Her hooves and eyes are both greenish blue. She has a fair amount of scarring along the top joint of her left hind from a particularly bad encounter with brambles.
Personality:
Background:

Grace

Name:Grace
Gender:Stallion
Age:5
Species:Full Unicorn
Most Likely Found:The Plains
Abilities:Rich, deep voice, almost like an opera singer.
Family:Dam: Marlinya, Sire: Unknown, Half-brother: Delita
Other Relations:
Description:Grace looks like his name, or so he likes to think. He's still growing, but will end up a tad on the short side. To make up for this, he has a broad chest and thick neck which lends to his singing ability. He's mostly a midnight blue that lightens at his points. His hind hooves have white cornet bands, while his forelegs have tall, tapering stockings. He has an irregular belly spot, also in white, as well as a broken spot on his neck and a half white face, marred only by a spot beneath his eye and one on his lip. His eyes are a bright yellow that stand out starkly against his half-and-half face, as does the maroon horn sprouting from his brow. His tail tassel, mane, ear tufts, and sparse beard are all a sea-blue-green color that seems to move like water against his coat. His hooves are the same blue as his coat.
Personality:Fierce, proud, and a little vain.
Background: Born and raised on the Plains by his dam. He started memorizing lays early on at Gathers and began fabricating stories for his dam almost as soon as he could form sentences. He's been away from Marlinya's side for half a year, travelling in the company of any laysinger that will tolerate his presence.

Pompeii

Name:Truename: Pompelianii, Callname: Pompeii
Gender:Mare
Age:7
Species: Full Unicorn
Most Likely Found:Vale, Pan Woods, and Plains
Abilities:Warrior
Family:Dam: Deliani, Sire: Pontwan(deceased)
Other Relations:Open.
Description: Pompeii is of the stocky sort, well built and muscular for her age. Though not overly tall, she has an imposing sort of presence. Her front half is a very dark color, a black that shines almost blue in the right light. Her face, neck, and knees are covered in tiny, pale pink dappling, and her front legs fade into dusty purple past the knees. Her body shades abruptly to purple about mid-belly, and her hind legs fade into a lighter purple past her belly line. Her hooves are palest pink, and her horn is a fading red. Her eyes are sky blue, and her mane, tail, beard, and tassels are all stormy blue with vibrant green tips. She has many scars, but wears them proudly.
Personality: A true warrior at heart, Pompeii knows well her place in life. She has no current thoughts of starting a family, but rather spends her days looking for someone new to spar with. In her quest, she's even learned a bit of the goatlings' language and sought out groups to ask them to attack her with their rocks and spears. She's attempted a venture to the Gryphon Mountains, but got driven back by a storm, and then kept in her grotto by her worrywort of a mother. It has become her life purpose, to learn the fighting styles of everyone she comes across. Despite this, she holds no grudges and feels no anger towards those who won't fight, or those who beat her. She takes everything in stride and is always willing for more.
Background:Pompeii has always been "large" for her size, and was often labeled a bully from her roughhousing nature. She was accepted as an apprentice when she was four, and took to sparring like she had been meant to do it all her life. At five, she made her pilgrimage and left foalhood behind, much to the dismay of her dam. She attempted her trip to the Gryphon Mountains in the spring of her sixth year, meaning to follow the wingcats on their way home from their traditional hunting of the Vale's goats and sheep, but a massive storm drove her back with many cuts and bruises and a healthy respect for Alma's wrath. But, she has long since healed, and is back to her warlike ways.

Tilo

Name:Truename: Tilinio Callname: Tilo
Gender:Stallion
Age:9
Species:Full Unicorn
Most Likely Found:Anywhere
Abilities:Dancer, a bit of herbology, has a "green hoof" so to speak
Family:Dam: Doa, Sire: Tinano
Other Relations:
Description:Tilo is of modest height and build, strong without seeming bulky or muscular. His main color is a forest green fading down into dark teal on his legs, with paler green dapples across his back, sides, and neck. His mane is parti-colored purple and pink, his tail is purple with a single pink stripe. His beard is pink, his ear tassels are purple. His eyes are a middle blue, his horn is a vivid lime green, and his hooves are aquamarine. His hair is particularly long and wavy, and almost always has some new flower or herb tangled in it.
Personality: In a few words, Tilo is fabulous, fun, flirty, fashionable, chivalrous, happy, hyper, kind-hearted. In a single word...he is gay.
Background:Turning out as he did, you might think Tilo grew up with only girls to play with, and they imposed their flirty ways on him. Quite the opposite, for Tilo ran with only colts in his early years, and often annoyed them with his fussing over the state of their manes and coats. Labeled a mama's boy from the start, Tilo simply didn't let it get to him, though he learned to tone it down for the sake of remaining friends with the others. As he grew, however, he realized that he wouldn't be joining his yearmates in wooing mares at the Summer Sea. No, his attentions lay...elsewhere. His first confession by the Sea was shot down by a very shocked friend, and once again Tilo found himself the subject of ridicule. Rather than retreat to his parents' grotto as soon as he got home, he instead moved into a grotto of his own. He is now often seen talking with young fillies, telling them which flowers and feathers best suit them and how to put them in their manes just so.

Shatter

Name:Shatter
Gender:Stallion
Age:Late 20s, he's lost track.
Species:Full Unicorn
Most Likely Found:The Plains
Abilities:Dancer
Family:Son: Delita, Niece: Larkspur
Other Relations:
Description:Lanky and long-limbed, with a midnight blue coat that fades down into a reddish-orange on his legs. He has black lines that intersect and climb their way up his legs, like trees in winter. His mane and tail are fiery red, while his beard and ear tassels are black. His hooves are black, and his eyes and horn are purple.
Personality:A true gentleman and lover of the ladies.
Background:

Tonitrus-Retired

Name: Truename: Tonitrus; Callname: Tono
Gender: female
Age: 13
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities:
Family: Bryn(mate), Salsus (sire, deceased), Deliciae (dam, deceased), Senbi (aunt), Khu(uncle), Adi (cousin).
Other Relations:
Description: Her main color is a midnight blue, with palest green dappling across her back and shoulders. Her color fades into silvery grey on her legs and muzzle. Her mane, tail, and beard are a darker green. Her hooves are gunmetal grey, and her horn is ivory. She has a faint lightning bolt shaped birthmark on her left foreleg, right above the knee. Her eyes are pale gold. She is on the smallish side, but lean and quick.
Personality: Generally happy-go-lucky, but not overly outgoing. Easy to get along with.
Background: Born in the Vale, she traveled with the group to reclaim the Hallow Hills, but left soon after Endingfire. Both her parents had died in the battle, and she had been intrigued by the Plainsdwellers' way of life. She followed the Free People back to Alma's Back and began her life there with a small group of unicorns. They parted ways after awhile, and Tono began her life as a wanderer, occasionally meeting up with her fellows, but never spending more than a moon cycle with one group, nor dancing the Longdance.

Delita-Retired

Name: Delita
Gender: stallion
Age: 8 years
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities: Called a scout and a warrior.
Family: Andramalech (foster father), Cescerano (foster sister), Casus (foster sister), other foster siblings that I haven't figured out yet.
Other Relations:
Description: His main color is a cobalt blue, splattered all over with large splotches of black, with one covering his muzzle and left eye. His mane, tail, beard, and ear tassles are all a deep amber color, while socks of lighter yellow adorn his legs. The sock on his right hind is interupted by a shorter sock of black, and that hoof is black as well while the other three are sand-colored. About half his right ear is missing, apparently bitten off many years ago. His eyes are a calm, clear violet, and his horn is a dark, metallic purple.
Personality: Stoic, cold, calculating. Shows only enough emotion to suit his own needs.
Background: Like the others in Andramalech's herd, he grew up living a hard life. Like his foster siblings, he bears the mark of his foster-sire, placed upon him as a sign of his inferiority, and to make him less appealing to those who would have stolen him away. Still, his is one of the least obvious marks among the group.
Now, he lives alone in a cave near the border of the Salt Flats and the Smoking Hills, close enough to his "family" that his foster father can bring him orders, but far enough away that he doesn't have to bother with a social life or showing unnescessary emotion. That life was thrown out the door when his foster-sire came to him with a mission to bring Casus back to the Flats.

Adiuro-Retired

Name: Adiuro (meaning 'oath'), Callname: Adi
Gender: Stallion
Age: 8 years
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities: Warrior for the Vale
Family: Khu - sire, Senbi - dam, Tonitrus - cousin
Other Relations:
Description: His main color is a mustard yellow, and his mane and tail are jade green. His muzzle is violet and his beard and ear tassles are pale green. He has four irregular socks, with the front right and hind left being indigo and the front left and hind right being plum. The hooves on the indigo legs are a faded magenta, and the ones on the plum legs are a vibrant purple. His eyes are clear blue, his horn is bright orange, and he has dark blue dapples across his flanks and down his tail, which ends in the same color. He is stocky and well built for fighting.
Personality: Outgoing and compassionate. Loyal to a fault, but levelheaded when it comes to battle.
Background: Adi grew up watching his older cousin Tono in everything she did, and openly admired her for it. She was his hero, but unfortunately, while his own parents survived the Battle of Endingfire, he was with Tono when she found her own sire and dam amongst the dead. When she fled, he longed to follow, but at only three years old and still growing into his horn, his parents would not allow it.
In the end, they were part of the group that travelled back to the Vale, mostly because of Adi's begging. Along the way, he looked every night for his errant cousin, but never found her. When they reached the Vale, he threw himself into learning the warriors' ways. Shortly after his initiation, he left to search the Plains, but was driven back by heavy storms after only a week. He still longs to search the Plains again for his cousin.

Cescerano-Retired

Name: Cescerano Brokenhorn
Gender: Mare
Age: 7 years
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities: Runner and scout
Family: Andramalech - foster sire, Andra's herd - foster siblings.
Other Relations:
Description: Ces is a steel gray, fading into bright ruby on her lower legs, muzzle, and tail. The ruby on her back legs begins on her belly, then runs down the fronts of her hindlegs to her uneven socks. Her mane, tail, beard, and ear tassels are all a dark purple, and her hooves are a dark gray. Her eyes are a pale red, and her horn is scarlet. The top portion of her horn is broken off jaggedly. She is small and lithe, built for running, and covered all over in ruby dapples.
Personality: Quiet, shy, and flighty. Almost scared of her own shadow at times.
Background: Cescerano's early life is fuzzy by now, and all she can remember of her foalhood is the image of her beautiful ruby dam standing over her. They had been a part of the warparty from the Vale, but the night previous to the battle, Cescerano's dam took her filly and fled, believing that nothing good could come from fighting the wyverns. They wandered for about two years on their own before a storm drove them into the Flats. Her dam had been steadily growing weaker since they'd left the band, and she died during the storm, leaving her gangly daughter to find her own way. Unfortunately for her, Andramalech was the one to find her.
For whatever passes for reason in the mad ruler's mind, he attacked the cowering filly, kicking and biting and shaking her like a wolf. Once her horn had been broken against a rock as Andra shook her by the scruff of her neck, the stallion backed off and instantly turned civil. He offered her a place in his herd, and she accepted, fearing another beating if she refused.
She stayed with the group, running errands as she watched the herd grow. She had watched as Ruris stole away with Casus, even though she feigned ignorance when questioned later. She stayed away long enough to be believable when she was sent to scout out for the errant pair, though she didn't do any true looking for them. She watched as Alanai was sent after Delita, and her heart silently went out to her foster siblings.
But her silence got her into trouble this time, and she fled with her shame.
