Ashmer

Name: Ashmer
Gender: Mare
Age: 14
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities:
Family:
Other Relations:
Description: Her main body color is a light lavendar. She has two blue marks: one that stretches from her withers to the crest of her neck and can be seen on both sides, and the other starts from her left shoulder and ends at the beginning of Ashmer's left foreleg. Her tail, ear tassels, fetlock feathers, and beard are snow-white in color. Her mane is also white, but streaked with a few strands of light blue. She has a bubble-like stripe that runs down her face from her horn to the beginning of her nose. She has four white socks on each leg, and her hooves and horn are black. Her eyes are yellow, and her haunches are covered in white, fawn-like spots.
Personality: She's mainly serious and thoughtful, but when Ashmer is having a good day, she enjoys a good joke or too. She's a typical Plainsdweller loner, and always feels self-concious about her yellow, predator-like eyes.
Background: She was cast out of her dam's band because of her eyes. Many of the band members feared Ashmer was cursed, and decided to simply leave Ashmer on her own when she became a half-grown. Since her exile, Ashmer has become a self-taught warrior. She travels to Alma's Heart in search of her dam and any half-sibs she may have, although has had no luck so far. She enjoys listening to lays very much, even though she has a poor singer's voice.

Jaku

Name: Jaku
Gender: 9
Age: Stallion
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities: Initiated warrior
Family:
Other Relations:
Description: A light crimson red dun with an indigo blue dorsal stripe and primitive bandings on his legs and chest. His socks, fetlock feathers, ears, muzzle, and the ring around each of his eyes are the same indigo hue. Horn, cleft hooves, and ear tassels are ultramarine in color. His thick mane and tail tassel are violet. The front and longest strands of JakuÕs beard are a deep indigo, leaving the shortest back strands to be crimson red. JakuÕs gray eyes always seem to hold a pained or melancholy expression, even when he is in a joyous mood.
Personality: Jaku is very honest, but a bit of a worrier. He can be shy around unknown unicorns, especially mares. He would rather listen to conversations than to take part in them. But despite his being shy, the crimson stallion is a quick-thinker. This quick thinking allows him to keep his mind while sparring or fighting in actual battles. When it comes to relationships, Jaku is quick to make friends with other stallions his age or near his age. But when it comes to mares his age, Jaku finds that his hooves always trip on each other, and his whip-like tail swats nervously at his crimson sides. His voice becomes small, and his gray eyes can never look an unknown mare in the face. The young stallion curses himself for his misfortune. Jaku is easily mistaken for being lonely and left out because of his melancholy expression, which many believe he has from the death of his sire and the disappearance of his dam.
Background: His sire had been killed in the Battle of Endingfire, when Jaku was only recently weaned. The death of her mate drove JakuÕs dam, Sha, into a perpetual sadness. She refused to speak to any of her shoulder-friends, and would spend long hours by herself in the milkwood groves. After a usual visit to the milkwood grove, Sha never returned. Some unicorns searched for JakuÕs dam in small groups, but no trace of her could be found. Because of this, Jaku became interested in the People of the Plains before his initiation. He would ask the elders and full-growns questions concerning the Plainsdweller unicorns, yet he never learned enough to satisfy his curiosity. After his initiation, Jaku forced himself to rid his mind of questions about the mysterious Plainsdwellers and their ways. He is a Moondancer, and does not plan to change his loyalties.

Sha

Name: Sha
Gender: Mare
Age: 20
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities:
Family: Mate: Leir (deceased); Children: Jaku
Other Relations:
Description: A light pink dun with rose points: ears, muzzle, dorsal stripe, and socks. The sock on ShaÕs left hind leg reaches her hock, while the other three range around her fetlocks. Her horn is a light chocolate in color, and her hooves are of the same hue, only streaked with darker bands of brown. Four long, thin scars stretch across both of ShaÕs haunches from a pard attack. A thick, almost wavy mane, beard, and tail are almost black in color, the color of angry storm clouds. Ear and fetlock tassels share the same rosy pink color as ShaÕs other points. Her eyes are painted pale blue, like a robinÕs egg, and in her younger life, they gleamed with mischief and happiness. Now, her eyes show only misery and confusion, like the eyes of a unicorn who has lost all hope in herself.
Personality: Much of Sha's personality had been lost after the sudden death of her mate. She was once a joyful and energetic mare, but now, her personality has been torn of it's glowing sheen to reveal a much darker and shabbier coat. Downcast moods dominate most of her life, and she is flanked by droughts of sadness and feelings of uselessness. Sha has grown forgetful, often forgeting unicorns she has recently met.
Background: Sha once lived with the Moondancers of the Vale, and was one of many mares protecting their weanlings during the Battle of Endingfire. The battleÕs end brought terrible news of her mateÕs sudden death. He had helped to destroy many of the vile wyrms, but died quickly after the end of the battle from numerous wounds. The sudden and shocking news of LeirÕs death drastically changed ShaÕs life. The mare seemed to age from full-grown to elder in the matter of days, and her interests in caring for Jaku slowly diminished. Once Jaku was weaned, Sha decided that the life of a Moondancer was too much for her, and simply left. Heart-broken, Sha traveled the plains alone. Some of the nights Sha spent wandering the plains are filled with hopes of death, but she always wakes the next sunrise. ShaÕs memory sometimes almost ceases to exist. Her two worst incidents of memory loss include: the time when the aging mare almost forgot her name and where she had come from, and suddenly forgetting all battle maneuvers she had been taught during a battle with a pard. If it were not for the mysterious Plainsdweller who had lured the pard away, Sha would never have left the battle alive.

Riddle

Name: Riddle
Gender: Mare
Age: 10
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities:
Family:
Other Relations:
Description: A dapple gray with a black, mask-like marking on her face. She has four white socks, all up to her knees. Her fetlocks, beard, ear tassels, and horn are all white. Riddle's mane, hooves, and tail tassel are also white, but with more gray.
Personality: Riddle is edgy and not very trusting. It takes time to form any kind of friendship with her, which can be hard on the plains. But when a unicorn does manage to befriend Riddle, the young mare expects the friendship to last for years. She would rather travel the Plains in a group, but due to her untrusting nature, Riddle often finds fault in those whom she travels with. Riddle can be tiring, as she likes to make her worries known to others around her. She does have good intentions, though, but her bad habits sometimes cover up the good.
Background: She doesn't know why her dam gave her the name "Riddle", but the dapple gray mare liked it, and never changed her name. Riddle always enjoyed the company of her dam, but they were separated while in a Longdance. Riddle's dam danced many Longdances to their end, but Riddle had never really liked the idea of having to worry about a foal.

Somnium

Name: Somnium
Gender: Stallion
Age: Adult
Species: Unicorn
Most Likely Found:
Abilities:
Family: Children: A few, but all are unknown
Other Relations:
Description: His coat is a light green that fades into an ocean blue and then purple at his tender points. His mane, ear tassles, and tail are also purple, while his beard is blue-purple. Som's horn and hooves are blue-purple, and his eyes are light sky blue.
Personality: Very flirtatious, charming, and vain, especially around mares. After Longdances, Somnium usually follows the mare around on the Plains for a couple of days, and leaves when he grows tired or finds a mare he dubs more "beautiful" than the one he is with. He only allows mares to call him Som, and and can grow touchy if jests are made about him. He is usually hard to anger, but if he is angered, Somnium usually leaves the one who angered him and holds a grudge against the unicorn. Any meetings with a unicorn whom Somnium holds a grudge against are usually sarcastic and short.
Background: Som's dam was a very carefree mare with a love for the stars. After giving birth to Somnium, she named him Evening Star for his tri-colored coat, but with the name came many taunts from the other foals, causing him to rename himself Somnium. He left the band after a pretty mare caught his eye at a small stream, and soon after left her for another.
