Answer: darn, i thought I was original in seeing a quid's head and tail cx
Gídeon's markings remind me of a giraffe - specifically, a
West African giraffe. It's the most endangered subspecies of giraffe, and has lighter fur (almost Gídeon's exact shade!) and 'splotchier' markings than the usual 'blocky' giraffe markings cx The 'equid' head also looks a bit like a giraffe if you look at the two blobby bits on its head as horns/ossicones rather than equid ears ^^
Personality: In most ways, Gídeon is your typical, happy-go-lucky equid; he's calm, collected, and happy pretty much all the time. The stallion can be a little awkward around other quids, especially those he doesn't know very well - small talk isn't his thing. He absolutely adores humans, especially children (only humans can really scratch those really tricky itches - fingernails are a great asset), and although he likes foals, he sometimes feels like he doesn't really know what to do with them. Fluffy animals unnerve him, especially when they're small - he has a morbid fear of rats and mice, and doesn't like rabbits much either. The only small creatures he will tolerate is small dogs, especially the pomeranian x terrier called Naki that made himself Gíd's special buddy on arrival to the stables. Gídeon can't seem to shake the creature! The stallion is also quite skittish, especially with 'flappy' things like flags, tarps, or plastic bags.
