Owner: Penultima
Equid name: Osiris
Age: 9 years
Gender: Gelding (can not breed)
Height: 14.3hh
Wild or Domestic and why: Osiris is most certainly wild--in both physical respects and spirit. He would never dare let a human touch him and his gorgeous, silky coat, because that might ruffle his dapples and make him less attractive to the ladies. In addition, the thought of a controlling creature such as a human coming into contact with him might dirty his reputation, and put his status below the hierarchy of a man, which is obviously ridiculous and lowly, according to Osiris. The reason he is sterile is from a genetic defect; a mutation his parents abandoned him for.
Describe his personality in 10 words or less: Proud, Vain, Romantic, Flirt, Arrogant, Prince, Oblivious, Clean, Narcissistic.
What does his quip remind you of? Osiris' quipping is like a network of distant streams, interlacing throughout his shimmering map of a coat, or so he likes to think. He feels like they accent this splotch on his flank, which is the lordly lake in the center of his map.
What song best represents his life story? And why does it fit him? Osiris' story can best be portrayed through Carly Simon's song "So Vain". He thinks he's a big-shot romantic; flirting with the mares and preening his fur to an impossibly soft texture. In actuality, it is all in his head, and he always ends up alone in the end, another fact which escapes his notice. He ends up prancing around on his own, oblivious and unaware of the fact that he is not as romantic as he thinks he is, in the mare's eyes. This song quite nicely articulates his biggest personality trait, and also his flaw, which therefore speaks for his life.
Short personality: As you, and most other equids familiar with Osiris may have picked up by now, will probably understand the romantic mask he often wears. So often, in fact, that he has grown to believe the mask himself. Hence, he cannot understand this feeling of something missing, hidden deep inside his heart. It is the absence of love, and absence that first delved deep when his parents abandoned him as a yearling for his inability to produce heirs or grandchildren. He does not remember them, or why this feeling is there, but someday, perhaps, he will figure it out.
Does he have a crush on any mares now? His crushes come and go, as he flirts with many a mare throughout the month. At the moment, he is especially captivated by the lovely Crypsis, although he still feels drawn a little to his old crush Madea and the new mare he met last week, Nereza.
