Equid's name: Valentyne { Pronounced like Val-en-tine, but spelled different. } {{ It has two meanings; Love and Strong. Both of which I see in this Equid. }}
Personality: Boy oh boy this stallion is a so much like his father it isn't funny. Sacarstic and witty, Valentyne knows how to make everyone laugh. Sometimes he doesn't know when to stop being a class clown and that tends to get him into trouble. And like his mother, he is talkative. Many don't hang around this WME because he never shuts up! You'll even find him talking to nothing but air, or imaginary beings that acutally listen as Valentyne says, to hide the fact that he is talking to nothing. When it does come to being serious, he will actually be helpful around others and try to do the best he can. That can also be a bad thing, though. Being boysterious and having no self control when it comes to being curious and plain out wild, Valentyne can't seem to be calm and collected like his mother.Though when it comes to socializing and being friendly, he tends to be shy. He's easily nervous, and more so around fillies and mares. Inheritating his father's killer smile and way with the ladies, Valentyne isn't one who likes to flirt and constantly be the one in charge, unlike his father. More so, he is a hopeless romantic who wants to have his soul mate and no one else. Besides the fact that he has a lot of his mother's and father's traits, one unique trait that Valentyne has all on his own is his way with nature. He may be unrully and hard to handle around other WME, but when he's by himself and surronded by the mountains and expanding forest, Valentyne seems to be at peace. He'll help any wounded or sick animal and he'll even nurture younglings back to health. He's a strong believer that everyone needs a chance at life: a Second Chance. Also, he is very fond of his father's crush, Tigress. They have similiar personalities; from being wild and young at heart, to being brave and willing to show other's how strong they can be, and also how they tend to be gentle around young ones. Through and through, Valentyne is a mysterious being that is hard to solve, but it takes that one WME who is willing to take the time and energy to understand this young stally's ways.
Art or Story: {{ This will star - Tigress, Patch, Tranquil, and of course Valentyne. }}
"Tigress!! Tigress!! Wake up!!" Excited about something, the young stallion Valentyne tried to wake the sleeping mare.
"What!?" Tigress's head popped up from the ground and looked frantically around with wide blue eyes. Nothing seemed wrong, so why the sudden wake up? Turning her head to see who the intruder was, the mare whinnied in surprise. Valentyne, again. As usual he needed her asistance. She could have done without his face being pressed so close to hers. "What do you want, black foot?" Her voice with gravely with sleep and annoyance, but amused all the while. The little nickname she used was one she gave him the day he was born. He had one black foot while the rest where a light pinkish color. It was easier than saying his full name, plus he responded to the pet name better anyways, or anything she said since he looked up to her for everything! But she couldn't help surrender to his pleading green eyes or dashing smile. He was just too darn charming and too much like his father, for her own good. With a few seconds to fully awaken, the young mare pushed her body off the ground after headbeating the colt away and shook her tiger stripped pelt; a sign of why she was named.
"I found something!! A-And I want you to see it!" The colt reared on his hind legs and playfully kicked Tigress's chest with his front hooves before running off. What he was to show was something Tigress wouldn't expect... Or so he thought.
"Hey!!" Tigress whinnied at the dissapearing figure that once was Valentyne. Shaking her head and snorting in amusement, Tigress ran off after the young colt before he got into trouble, again. She was always his babysitter, and not by choice either. Ever since Patch and Tranquil had the colt, he seemed to stick to her like glue. She didin't know why. He was cute, but he was so much like his father that he drove her bonkers! But all the while, she didn't want to upset the youngling, or make her lover angery for not entertaining his son. Either way, she was stuck with Valentyne for too many reasons.
Skidding to a stop after running the long distance from her resting place, Tigress craned her neck over Valentyne's lowered head to see what he was cooeing and laughing about. What she finally saw made her groan in dismay. He really made her wake up and run all this way, to see a....baby squirrel!! Her tail flicked angerly and her ears flattened as she headbutted the colt's rear end. "You did not just wake me up from a deep slumber for this!?! A baby squirrel of all things, Valentyne!" Valentyne backed up and lowered his ears in slight embarrasment. He thought it was cool, so why not Tigres? "Awh come one Tig, why not!?" The colt complained as he gazed from the little furry animal to the equid before him. "Number one, I hate when you call me Tig. And Number two, because there are thousands of squirrels out here, I don't really get why this one is so important for me to see!" The dumbfounded mare couldn't look at the creature, for fear that she might surrender to the colt's pleads and ultimatly ruin her reputation. She couldn't be beaten by a silly little colt, it would make her seem weak and not strong willed like others view her as. But as she stared annoyanly at Valentyne, she found her hard shell cracking. The penetrating green eyes he inheritated from his mother made her heart melt, and oh god! He was usuing that cute boyish smile. Rolling her blue eyes and stomping the ground in anger, Tigress finally gave in. "Just look at it! You can't help but fall in love!" The colt whinnined at her as he headbutted her shoulder to make her move towards the fluffly creauture.
Tigress nipped at Valentye's ears in a sign of "Okay" before turning and resting her eyes upon the very thing she was rudely awaken to see. Shockingly, it was cute. It had big brown eyes and a long furry tail. It wasn't that old so it very small. Smiling widely, the mare stretched her head down and nuzzeled the little squirrel with her velvet muzzel. She giggled as the creature fell back from feeling her stronog breath blow on it, but it quickly regained balance and batted at her muzzel. "I'll admit, it's cute." She said as the squirrel climbed up her muzzel and along her back before jumping onto Valentyne body, where it rested on his head. "Can I keep him!?!" The colt whinnied excitedly and hopefully, his eyes wide and pleading to the mare. Tigress contemplated the question in her head. She knew she would hear of this till the day she died from Valentyne, if she didn't allow him to keep the animal. But she would also get a lot of talk from his parents if he kept it. Either or, she was melting beneath his gaze. "Fine, but ask your par-" "Okay!" And he was off running to his parents.
Tranquil was grazing below the mountains as Patch stood on a high rock and kept watch over the land. Valentyne came barreling in as he skidded to a stop by his mother, almost running into her. Tranquil whinnied in shock as she saw her son coming and almost knocking her over, but she pressed her head against his chest to stop him. Looking down at him she giggled and pulled at his mane in greeting. "Mom!! Mom!! Look what me and Tigress found! Isn't he cute and fluffy!? Can I keep him? Please!!!!" Valentyne rushed out without a single breath, all the while bouncing with excitment. "Woah!! Slow down young one and take a breather." Tranquil snorted softly in her son's face to calm him before answering his questions. "Yes, I see what you found and it's quite interesting. Yes, it's fluffy and mighty cute. And I guess you can, but ask your fa-" Again, the colt left no time for his mother to finish without running off to see Patch. Tranquil giggled as she watched her son. Skidding to another stop by his father, Valentyne batted at Patch with his tail to get his attention. "Hmm?" "Dad!! Can I keep!? Can I keep!? Valentyne went to the point, a huge grin on his face as he looked up at the squirrel he befriended. Patch loooked from his son with a smile to the little creature on his head. Confusion was written on his face at the sight and his ears twitched. Once again, the colt used his big green eyes to plead his father into letting him keep the squirrel. And once again, along with not wanting to dissapoint his son, Patch gave in. "Sure!" "Thank you! Thank you!! Valentyne trotted off to play with his new found friend, while Tigress galloped towards Patch with a roll of her eyes and wide smirk. "Couldn't say no, huh?" She teased and nuzzel him. "He's something isn't he?" Patch answered with a chuckle. "Uh - huh." Tigress giggled as she watched Valentyne romp and play with the little baby squirrel, whom dodge every move the colt made.
Why do you want this equid?: Well, where do I start? Horses are one of my favorite animals, more so than canines. Being born a horse lover and growning up to still be one, I can't help but love WME. The way they're built strikes me; the unique coat patterns and differences with the large ears, mane types, and long feline like tails. The behavioural aspect of the Equids are similar to horses and that to me is icing on the cake. I always wanted a equine character, seeing as how I have a canine fursona which many others have. To me, equines are majestic, spiritual animals that have been known throughout many centuries and in many cultures. A horse is a little girl's fantasy, and one of mine as well. So wanting a equid is another fantasy of mine. Currently I have none. So trying for this fellow will be my first. I have waited and waited months to find the one, but I always came up blank. Or I found one, but I was too late and someone snagged them before me. So like many other hopeful owners, I just sat back and watched for that one little equid to jump through the screen and catch me.
I am one of many fangirls over your equid stallion, Patch. His markings are to die for and that killer smile that he does oh so well makes my heart melt. But Patch also reminds me of a character from a recent book series I finished. I'm a avid book reader so I can relate to some characters I find that strike me as unique, or similiar in ways to myself. So when I saw Patch, he reminded me of this fallen angel character who was also called Patch. The character was mysterious and hard to read. The girl in the serious, whom he falls for, has a hard time reading him. He always has a wall up to block his emotions and past. It takes a while for the girl to get Patch to let loose around her and let his past become hers. His emotions are usually never read easily, no matter how hard the girl tries or how much the two has been through. She simply has difficulty reading him. So like your equid Patch, this fallen angel character has similiar traits. He's sarcastic, always using humour to cover things up he doesn't want to talk about or hear. Most of the time he uses humour to draw the girl to him, though it also draws the girl away at times. He seems to not take things seriously, though he does very much so. Patch, from the book, also is a ladies man. He knows how to turn them on, with a killer smile just like your equid. But he also has strong feelings for the girl, even if it breaks the laws of the angels to be with her, he simply can't stay away. He does everything in his power to keep the girl safe, including making her forget him and try to make her be normal. Patch cares deeply for his loved ones, though he only has one friend, whom he later reveals is evil and untrustworthy. So you see, I can relate your equid Patch to the fallen angel in the book series I read. It's what draws me to him, and his son whom I want to call my own.
Not only am I a big fan of Patch, but I'm a big fan of Tranquil as well. Her beauty shines like the sun, and her spirit is whole and beautiful. The contrast to her lightly colored coat stands out to your other darker equids {except for Rasheeka} and it just catches my eye and holds them to her. Since I'm a book nerd, I can see another character from another book series, that I can relate to Tranquil. The character's name is Stevie Rae and her personality is similar to your Tranquil. The girl, a vampire of sorts, has this bright and shining personality. Everyone loves her. She's willing to help her group of friends, to any extreme. She's also talkative and loves to talk about anything, with this Okie countrified twang that her friends like to mimic at times in admiration and in fun. Stevie Rae is friendly to all, though her shy deminer can effect that sometimes. Even though I'm not drawn severly to this Stevie Rae character like I am to Patch, her sweet and bubbly attitude is addicting; just like your equids are to me.
Now, enough with talking about Valentyne's parents, it's time for the main equid! So the real question is: Why am I drawn to this particular WME?? Well besdies telling why I love WME in general and the in depth reasons why I love Valentyne's parents, I also love this equid because he is unique and has so much potential it isn't funny. I can see many little stories involving this stallion, some fun, and some tragic. I can also use him to improve my art block and horse anatomy, as I draw more and more horses to get rid of my obsessive canine drawing. But in general, I see myself in Valentyne. I can be crazy at times, rarely, but I can. I can also be shy and not social around others, which is why I don't have many friends. I also tend to talk a lot, alone. I've always had imaginary friends to help with the loss of real friends. And since I don't talk often to "real" people, I like to talk to nothing but air to let things off my mind and allow myself to relax. I'm also a nature lover. I love all animals and wish I could help all animals.
Besides the point, I could write a whole lot more of why I want this equid and go on and on about him, but these are the main reasons why I want him. I'm sorry this is long again, though I tend to write more than I should, but I couldn't stop because as I look at Valentyne there is so much in my mind that I want to let out about it!! So, I hope I can get him, because that could grant my ultimate fantasy, but if I don't, I do hope someone out there does give him a proper home and cherish him with tons of affection that this stallion needs.
