First Encounter:
Hades was alone, like always, in the pasture. They had tried pairing him with around 4 mares so far and each of them he had felt no connection for. He was ready to give up on love at this point, because if four mares in this area hadn't worked why would a fifth. That's when he heard the truck pull up, it brought mixed feelings to his heart. There was both hope and fear, hope that this mare might be the one, and fear that like all the others she wouldn't and he would forever be alone.
Hades trotted up to the pasture gate and waited for her to be removed from the trailor, and as he stood there his heart started to beat fast with anticipation. Slowly they backed her off the ramp, and Hades nearly died at the sight of her rump, it mimiced his, and this was all so strange to him. All the other mares had been either lacking in looks or personality and others both, but so far this mare was ten for ten. When she was finally off the trailor and standing in front of him, he could barely breath, her markings were so unique and different, and those that lay over her eyes well he couldn't understand why but he knew they meant something, and he knew that something was good. Now he hoped that she just had the personality that matched her markings.

Hades' owner introduced the pair before letting Persephone in, she had been so intrugued by this stallion, he had markings similar to hers yet so different, and he seemed so interested in her, very much unlike the other stallions they had tried to pair her with, now she just hoped that he wouldn't be a jerk like the others had been.
Persephone introduced herself first, telling him her name and where she was from, she felt a little awkward but she knew there was some deep connection between them, such a connection she had never felt before and it made her just a little nervous.
Hades greeted Persephone back, telling her she had a lovely name and he was pleased to meet her. He felt awkward at first but he liked that she was assertive and had made the first move, something the other mares had not, they had all simply waited for him to talk before replying. He remembered then that he had completely forgotten to tell her his name and proceeded to say his sorry's about his forgetfulness. She simply laughed it off and nuzzled against his cheek saying it was okay. That one simple nuzzle seemed to spark something in Hades, something he had never felt before, and all the awkwardness and tension he had felt melted away as if it had never existed. Without a second thought he asked her to play and without an answer began to run around.

The quick change in Hades strattled Persephone at first but she liked that he was trying to make her feel less awkward, so she began to chase after him, whinnying and bucking. Then ended up taking a tumbles a little while later, their legs getting all caught up in each other as they fell making it rather impossible to get untangled. Yet somehow Hades figured it out and helped her to her feet. They were both breathing hard from the games, and as they stared into each others eyes something just clicked. Persephone to this day doesn't know who kissed who first, or if they just met each other half way. But after that she knew she would never be leaving his side, and that he would never be leaving hers.
Hades knew that they had both wanted to kiss, which is why when that moment happened he was certain that they were meant to be. They must have been soulmates for much longer than just the years they had been on this earth, because the love and passion he had felt out matched that of any love he had heard about in stories. It seemed as if that night as they lay beneath the stars together, talking and laughing at each others jokes, they had been doing it for centuries maybe even millennia. The fates had always intended for Hades to find Persephone, he realized that now, which was why he never left her side again.

Gender: mare
Halter Colour: white with silver buckles
Mate Design: Her mate would be a purple roan stallion with a perfectly round star and swirled socks
First Encounter: (mate would probably be gifted to a friend)

Harmonia and Kaos met in the mountains of Japan. Harmonia was sent to a stud farm as a broodmare, but proved impossible to catch for any of the handlers. Harmonia, being the stubborn but balanced mare that she is, she wouldn't let the anyone near her when the handlers decided to release the stud she was supposed to be bred. She ended up kicking him in the face and he was promptly removed from the pasture.

All of the fussing stopped when Kaos arrived. The purple roan stallion sparked a sense of deja vu in the young broodmare's mind. She'd seen him before. The tall stud was led past her meadow and Harmonia whinnied at him, earning an ear prick and an elegant violet and red eyed glance. He nickered back and the handlers stopped. They led him over to the the gate so they could sniff each other's breath. The pair closed their eyes and stood there, feeling each other's warmth and smelling the oddly familiar scents. They'd met before, but where? She turned away and as she did, she noticed a thin red thread about the other horse's hind leg. A threat just like her own. It piqued her curiousity.

The next day she saw the stallion again and called for him. He turned to stare at her and whinnied back, breaking the hold of his handler and bolting towards her. Kaos elegantly leaped and fence and began grooming Harmonia. The mare nickered softly and nibbled at his mane. Kaos's handler watched in awe as the pair groomed each other sedately.

"Wow."

the stallion nodded and trotted off... "whatever... Mare" he neighed as he broke into a gallop... the black mare hurried after him...
"wait!" she whinnied "please!!!" she ran in front of him and stopped... causing him to rush into her
"what are you doing mare!?" he neighed angrily. before spotting the sadness in her eyes "what d'ya want?" he butted her in the neck and continued walking...
"wait! I know your name!" she squealed and leaped back in front of him "its Dune right?" she asked, somewhat prancing around him...
"yeah so what physic...what'ya gonna do..? read ma mind?" he said sarcastically but his chrystal blue eyes sparkled with curiosity and he walked off. Shadow ran after him with
"don't play dumb with me were meant for each other!" she whinnied loudly and reared up, pawing out with her front legs "please?!" she asked.
"why fine.... I guess...." he nickered and nuzzled her shoulder "if I end up in love wit'ya then I'll stay..." he neighed softly and reared up. "c'mon lets run...Shadow?' he asked with curiousity.
"yes! that's my name! see I was right!" she neighed and galloped off. hearing the thundering hooves behind her they both ran through the desert valley.
"wait..." he nickered, skidding to a halt "what are we gonna do?" he asked "I mean wanna go to the plateaus?" he asked, rearing up.
"sure!" she neighed and galloped off to the large hill, leaping up to a ledge, her hoof slipped and she tumbled down, to a ledge high up and she whinnied in fear "Dune!" she screamed.
"Shadow!" he leaped to the ledge and nudged her frantically "Shadow!?" he neighed in alarm, lifting her head it was limp "and he screeched "Shadow!"
soon shadow leaped up happily "You do love me!" she whinnied and leaped down...
"w-what?" he asked clearly confused "I thought you were dead..."
"yeah and I was just testing to see if its true that you loved me... you do!" she reared happily and pranced around
"smart..." he smiled and bucked happily.
"well lets go then..." she reared again and began to gallop again, bucking every minute or so...
"ok..." he neighed happily and galloped with her, his long tail streaming out...
as they galloped into the sunset... Dunes long brown tail weaved with the red ribbon, flying out... and Shadows leg tied with the ribbon at her ankle...

Halter Colour: Orange
Mate Design:

(Since I cannot use oekaki)
I will describe what I think they would look like.
I would like to swap the colors seen on Serenity
for her mate and for it to be considered a White
Dun Tobiano Splash. I believe this will keep the
correct flow of a Yin and Yang symbol instead
of changing the colors. This also keeps her
simple and effective in matching her mate.

First Encounter:

As our tour of the Yellow Mountains in China
began, we began to hear more rumors from
our guides that we might see an elusive mare.
The tales we heard spoke that she was marked
with signs of evil and bad. This we could not
believe, but we're anxious to see this mysterious
mare. She was why we were here in the first
place. After treking high in the mountains after
this horse, we continued to hear more tales of
her, some that she could change color. This new
information we knew could not possibly be true
but we continued on, excited to discover this mare
and try to understand what exactly these people
were trying to tell us.
It wasn't long until we found ourselves in a glade
like clearing, high in the mountains. This is where
we saw her. She was found alone, standing in and
drinking from a warm natural spring. This mare
was not at all frightened by the sight of humans as
she had never been chased or harmed by people
and had no reason to be afraid. As we began to
film her, she gracefully lifted her head to look at
us, but payed no mind. She was a breathtaking
sight, the rumors we heard of her coat were true.
She was marked with the symbol of Yang, the
measure of the evil inside all of us. Though she
seemed far from evil. She was beautiful, graceful,
and independent. We could also see that she was
spirited and strong willed.
Soon it became apparent to us that she was not
alone. She began to look over behind us for something.
Though we couldn't see anything around us, we
continued to film this mare. A few more moments
lapsed and near us from between the trees came
another mare. Though this mare was a lovely creamy
white, her markings were black, something hardly
seen in the world of horses except in a select few
breeds. At first we thought she was grey, but further
inspection discovered that she was indeed white.
We watched these completely opposite, but
completely identical mares for hours, filming there
intimate interactions with eachother. The white mare
almost seemed more rebellious and wild compared
to the other. They did not seem to fit the yin and
yang idea, though they were clearly marked that
way, they seemed to be opposite of what Chinese
legend told. But the two seemed so comfortable
and composed with eachother, they definitely
matched. When we spoke with the guides, they told
us that the mares had no names. They were so
elusive that no one had really seen them, only caught
glimpses of one or the other. They granted us permission
to name the pair. The black mare we decided for her
calm and peaceful nature to call her Serenity. The
white mare we named Rebellion. The names seemed
to fit them so perfectly we watched these mares
touch and socialize with eachother as the sun began
to set. Soon it was time for us to leave, but we had
successfuly filmed these two beautiful mares and we
could now show the world how peaceful this pair
was together.

Height: 12.5 hh

Text Color: FF8080

Show Name: Afraid to Love
Barn Name: Vixen
Gender: Mare
Age: One year
Height: 14 hh
Halter Color: Dull purple
Text Color: 400040

Personalities:
Vixen is, in short, bitter. She's rather rude to almost everyone she meets; it's just how she is. She's very reclusive, and oftentimes tends to stick to herself. Some may see her as antisocial; others view her as a little off the deep end. Sure, she talks to herself sometimes, but that's mainly because she has no one else to chat with. Everyone sees her as an intimidating mare, but is that really the case? Once you've gotten to know Vixen, you'll find that inside her locked heart, it's actually quite warm. She's very loving and protective, but afraid she'll lose those close to her. In order to prevent this from happening, she either locks herself away and responds negatively, or with a cold shoulder; or she becomes highly overprotective of her loved ones, oftentimes risking her own life countless times in order to protect those she loves.
Juliette is the total opposite of her beloved Vixen. Instead of being grouchy, Juliette is an absolute sweetheart, always eager to please. She's curious; very much so. In fact, if there's anything that may spark even the slightest bit of interest - say, for instance, a coin or a strange noise - Juliette will go dashing off to investigate. This little mare has a childlike innocence wafting about her almost all the time. Along with this, however, comes a great deal of sensitivity. Juliette hates seeing anyone get hurt; be it physically or emotionally, she can't stand it. She'll get upset over anything for anybody. She just doesn't believe that anyone deserves to be in pain. So naturally, whenever she sees nature taking its toll on an innocent creature (such as a rat, a squirrel, a bird, etc.), she can't help but sob over this loss of a beautiful life.

Relationship Description:
Vixen and Juliette's relationship is a curious one, indeed, but as they say, opposites do attract, and that is exactly the case with these two, it seems. While one may think a mare like Juliette would annoy the living hell out of Vixen, the taller mare has actually taken quite the liking to the smaller. This is mainly because while most others would ignore Vixen, or stray far away from her path, bubbly little Juliette met the taller while she was grazing by her lonesome one day, and immediately bounded on over to her, words flying from her mouth a mile a minute. Vixen made the mistake of showing the slightest bit of kindness to Juliette (upon noticing her red string), and from that day forward, the two grew closer and closer until they became mates.
Juliette can be a bit overly curious or sensitive, much to Vixen's dismay. In fact, every time the smaller bursts into tears or darts off to see something shiny, Vixen just about has a heart attack worrying over her. Vixen is highly protective of Juliette, and while the gentler mare doesn't approve of her mate's harsh attitude sometimes, she does appreciate that Vixen cares about her enough to stand up for her.

First Encounter:
Juliette jumped back with a start. It moved! Why was it moving? It shouldn't have been moving! ...Well, not on its own, anyways.
She stared at the little grayish-brown rock curiously, hesitantly lowering her head and nosing at it gently, once again leaping away from it when it hopped. She snorted loudly, staring bug-eyed at the thing before her curiosity got the best of her yet again, and she once again prodded at it with her nose, repeating this little game a couple more times. What was this thing? While Juliette was indeed curious, she wasn't so sure if this little rock creature was dangerous or not... Not that the thought crossed her mind at the time. She was more focused on finding out if it was actually alive or not.
The small mare sniffed the thing one final time and reared back as it turned quickly to face her, its throat puffing out as it expelled a loud, squeaky whine. Juliette stamped her hoof a little ways away from the tiny rock creature, as if to scare it off. Thankfully, that worked. The thing made a strange noise as it turned and hopped away.

Juliette nickered happily for a moment before a flicker of movement in the corner of her eye caught her attention. She flicked her head to the left, looking to see a tall mare - at the very least two hands taller than Juliette herself - grazing quietly, her tail swishing back and forth to try and scare the flies off. Admittedly, this mare's appearance screamed "danger" - her light gray eyes were narrowed towards the ground, and Juliette could've sworn she heard the taller mumbling to herself. Nevertheless, the smaller decided that, since God forbid anyone stay by themselves for more than a few minutes, she'd go over and say hi.

And so she did, trotting excitedly over to the darkly-colored mare. She snorted to gain the taller mare's attention, and to her delight, it worked. The dark female raised her head curiously, light gray eyes narrowed into slits towards the gleeful little mare, a brow quirked in confusion. Disregarding the taller's scowl (or not even acknowledging it at all), Juliette chirped happily (and rather quickly), "Hello! How are you? What's your name? I haven't seen you around here before. Are you new here? Wow! You're tall! How tall are you?"
And so she went, blathering on, words rushing out her mouth a mile a minute as she hopped around excitedly. Could this be a new friend? Juliette liked making new friends.

---

...Alright, just who the hell was this little moron, anyways?
Here Vixen stood, trying to get some peace and quiet - some alone time, time to talk to herself and think over the events that had occurred that day, and now some tiny idiot just darted over and began rambling on, asking questions and jumping around like a hyperactive rabbit? Just what was going on, here?

Vixen grew dizzy trying to watch this little mare hop around, and instead of paying attention to her, quietly went back to grazing. Maybe if she just ignored her, the smaller would just go away...
Of course, that wasn't the case, it seemed. In fact, the smaller just seemed to grow more impatient, asking more and more questions until finally, she had to pause to catch her breath. She inhaled and exhaled rather quickly, taking short, deep breaths as she tried to pull more oxygen to her brain.
Vixen looked up in alarm at the smaller mare's panting. Oh heavens, she wasn't going to faint, was she? That would just be horrible - not because Vixen cared about her, but because that meant she'd have to find another place to graze, and believe it or not, Vixen had grown rather fond of this little patch...

That was around the time Vixen noticed the strand of red string tied neatly around the hyper mare's neck.
To most, it would seem like this was the cause of her shortness of breath. But Vixen knew better than that. She recognized that string from anywhere; it was the string only she could see. The Red String of Fate.
Vixen's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as she stared in complete and utter shock at the string. Did this mean that this little moron was... No, it couldn't be! But then again, not every Tolt had a string tied to them...
Vixen sighed heavily upon realizing what this meant. Whether she liked it or not, she was now stuck with the hyperventilating idiot. Hopefully, the smaller wouldn't be too annoying...

---

The moment Juliette caught her breath, the taller mare began to speak softly.
"...You alright there, miss?" she muttered, all the while trying to shake a surprised look off her face.
Juliette grinned widely, beginning to bounce around again. "Yeah! Never been better! So you never answered my questions, miss! What's your-"
"Enough!" the taller mare growled sharply, earning a quiet "meep!" from Juliette. Upon realizing she had scared the smaller, the darkly-colored mare sighed and mumbled, "Look, I'm sorry... It's just... I didn't expect you to-"
"That's okay!" Juliette chirped giddily, seemingly over her temporary fright. "I didn't expect to talk to you until I saw you a few minutes ago!" As an afterthought (and upon realizing she was probably annoying the taller mare), she threw in, "By the way, I'm Juliette. What's your name? I promise I'll leave you alone if you answer that."
The taller blinked slowly and turned away, looking past the fence. "...I'm Vixen," she said quietly. "And... You don't have to leave if you don't want to, y'know? I wouldn't mind if you stayed."

---

Whether they liked it or not, these two mares were now stuck together. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad... Maybe, just maybe, eventually, they'd learn to actually appreciate each others' company. Just maybe.

ryuu and yuan's story: first encounter ☯: i turn my head at the sound of hooves against the forest floor rush breaking the silence. I lift my head up from where i was grazing care not to hit my head against one of the many trees. In the distance a red figure appears in the distance, quickly coming towards me. Instinct tells me to run but for some reason i stay put, waiting for the figure to come closer. a red stallion gallops past me without noticing me. I walk over easy finding the bright red, white and black blur charging through the woods. What's he doing? I think to myself. I move away from my cover in the forest and slowly follow where he went. when I reach the forest's end, I peek my head out from the undergrowth. the sight of the meadow is enough to turn my stomach. there is a herd of horses with assorted injuries shattering around the field. the red stallion from before is chasing after a stallion it amazes me that he's still standing. Of course the red stallion quickly manages to catch up to other one. I pull my head back for the bush. I don't want to saw what happens to the other stallion. Soon after I hear a grunt and the thumps of hoofs I can only assume is the rest of the herd fleeing.
xxxxxx "Now stay off our terrioty, if I ever see you here again you will regret it!" a voice which I think is the red stallion call out after them. his words send a chill down my spine. questions cloud my mind. 'why did he do that?" "will the red stallion come after me" "who is this 'our' this stallion is talking about". "what are you doing here?" a cold voice says from behind me so close I could almost feel it's breath on my back. fear rushes over me and I have to try my hardest to hold back a whimper. i feel my joints locking making me unable to move and flee. maybe if I don't answer he'll leave. "answer me." he says in growlish tone.
xxxxxx"um... I-I'm just p-passing through I mean you no h-harm..." I say meekily, lowing my head like a scolded foal. I wish I could just freeze time and disappear from here. I know this stallion has intentions to hurt me or worst.
xxxxxx"yeah right. then why are you shuttering?" he says "who even are you?" he asks me. I think for little bit about if I should answer but I think better of keeping silent.
xxxxxx "my name is yuan..." I say carefully, trying my best not to shutter. he takes a pause as if my name sparked something in his head. everything is my body told me to run while he was thinking. however I know it would be fruitless, there was no way I could out run him and the thought of what he would do to me made me sick to stomach.
xxxxxx"hum... it doesn't ring a bell" he says I slowly turn around to face the stallion and only again terror rushes through me. that stallion, I knew him. he was like a legend to keep the foals from wandering at night. he is the thing I have nightmares about, he and his herd is are monsters, soulless beings. his father, kyōken, was the leader of the herd and when he died he would take over. the stories I hear of him are even worst.
xxxxxx"the red death" I think aloud staring at the stallion blankly. 'the red death' is the name that most horse's know him by. the stallion faces turns into an amused face.
xxxxxx"yes" he purred as if he was happy to play with my emotions. I back up away from him just to see something even more nightmarish. a thin red string wraps around his ankle, he-he was my mate. I blink hoping that I was just seeing things. I hadn't seen it when I was closer up after all. but it was still there. he couldn't be my mate, he couldn't be.
xxxxxx"your m-my mate..." I mutter in horror. the stallion looks at me like I'm crazy. then lets out a soft snicker.
xxxxxx"this keeps on getting better and better." he says deeply amused.
xxxxxx"I-I'm not k-kidding!" I beg him. then again why is supposed to believe me. I wouldn't believe someone who walked up to be and claimed to be my mate. the amusement fade from the stallion eyes
xxxxxx "please I would never have a mate that's like you. your weak, pathetic your useless to me. even if you are supposed to be my mate i'd rather die then call you my mate" he say coldly. all I can feel are disappointment and hurt. I always thought when I meet my mate they would believe me, they would actually care about me. sure maybe they would need to warm up to me but he flat out rejected me. Unlike him I always waited to find my mate and know that I found him I wish I hadn't. I open my mouth to speak but he beats me to it. "please don't even say anything else. your lucky i'm in a forgiving mood today. just get out of here and I'll pretend like I never saw you. but I never want to see you back here ever again, okay? now go before I change my mind."
xxxxxx"um... t-thank y-you" I say before running off. I needed sometime alone to take this all in. that I know had knew my mate and he wishes I never existened.
