And so, with the new year comes the end of my term as a guest artist!
I've had an incredibly busy holiday season, so I'm a day late posting my last equid, but hopefully I can be forgiven for that.
So here she is! The roan girl that I've been saving since I was first asked to be a guest artist. Of all the equids I've made, I think that this one is quite possibly the most special to me, and having her sit in my unfinished drawings for so long, waiting for an opportunity to post a rare roan, I've become quite attached c:

I really really want her to go to someone who'll really cherish her; a really good, active home. So that's why time extensions are a good possibility here-- I don't want to see anybody have to drop out because of lack of time, so if you're really having trouble, drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do!

I'll be judging on name, personality, and all the other form criteria here! I'd love to see a name explanation, it doesn't have to be long, but you can go into depth if you'd like. The name doesn't even have to have a meaning behind it, just tell me why you chose it! If it's pretty, if you think it suited her, or whatever reason!
On the naming note- two worded, racehorse names like 'midnight snow', etc, kinda turn me off; if you're going to use a name in that format, make sure you include a nickname!

I'd love to see some art of her- any art! It can be a sketch, headshot, flat piece, shaded, animation, etc! You can order art from other artists (you must credit them in your form) and you can do as many art pieces as you like!

And finally, tell me a bit about her. Tell me what she thinks about, tell me her quirks, tell me her favourite season, tell me her largest worries! Tell me anything! Though, please limit it to one factor only.

Equid's Name: Jubili
Name Explanation: This is the name of my mother's horse who is the sweetest and funniest girl. She never 'argues' when handling her and eats about anything. Her name is also a sweet dish similar to cherry pie (Cherry Jubilee).
Age: 6
Height: 13.2hh
Gender: Mare
Personality: Friendly and helpful, thoughtful and giving, loving and supportive, gentle and inspirational, and most of all forgiving. Jubili doesn't put herself before others and wants everyone to by happy, though she won't go too much out of her way if it will end up hurting her or another in the process; having equality is best. She's social and loves making new companions. Running far distances, going on wild adventures, and pursuing her dreams are what make Jubili so fun to be around; always positive.
• Jubili believes that being friendly even when another is aggravating will keep a situation from getting out of control. Also, helping others is always a great cost, even if she'll not receive anything for doing so; no-one is prefect and needs help every now and then.
• To give more than take is how Jubili flows, if another doesn't want something well it's the thought that counts. She cares for the well-being of those close to her because how they feel reflects how she feels.
• She will be there through heart breaks and triumphs, Jubili can tell when an equid needs comfort.
• Young foals usually tend to look towards her for guidance and advice; she loves caring and getting to know them as they grow up, seeing how much they change creates much memories.
• Jubili knows that others makes mistakes, she as well, and recognizing these mistakes help her to be a better friend. Knowledge itself can only be understood when one comprehends the difference from right and wrong, even when doing the wrong thing may be the choice that has to occur; knowing when to forgive is something that Jubili had to learn when she got hurt emotionally, but it was something that could not be avoided.

EDITS: ss many as you like.
ENDS: initial end date is in two weeks, (Wednesday the 15th Sunday the 19th at 23:00 GMT). I'll give notice about the precise closing time c:

Extras are allowed too!

Pulling out, there are other who deserve her more than I do. (: Good luck everyone!

Equid's Name: Ashanti
Name Explanation: Ashanti was the name of a powerful African empire. I wanted her name to be powerful and to stand out, and it's also unique. It also represents her personality, and I like names that can connect not only with her looks but also how she acts.
Age: Eight years old
Height: 13.2hh
Gender: Mare
Personality: Ashanti's personality in short is competitive, intelligent, foreign, strong-willed, egotistical, and powerful.
Competitive; Cursed with a competitive drive, if challenged to anything she will do whatever it takes to win, even at the cost of her own well being. She also has a way of challenging herself, even if not challenged out right. An example would be if she was running with a herd, she'd always try to beat the rest. If she saw another mare jump from a high mountain ridge, she'd jump from a higher one. She always tries to be the best she can be, even if it means beating someone else at their own game. If she loses, she usually tries her best on her own, and ends up challenging the equid she lost to again and again until she wins. It's a matter of pride to her, and she's a very proud equid.
Intelligent; I would like to say she always uses her intelligence for the good of others, but she usually uses it to help herself rise to the top. She acts like a business woman, calm and collected but tends to look down on those she doesn't find "up to her standards". She surrounds herself with only the best stallions; the flirty one, the strongest, the quietest, the tallest, the shortest. She has high standards, and with her looks and personality she has every right to be.
Foreign: Ashanti is a traveler, she goes where she wants and doesn't care what others say. She collects information from her travels, loading up on knowledge and finding new challenges wherever she goes. She prefers it this way, thinking that she leaves more of a mark on the world the more places she travels. She's not a loner, however, she tends to join and leave herds at whim for companionship as she moves around the world.
Strong-willed; This girl never seems to break. She's always doing something, never giving up and never letting others get the best of her. Some stallions dislike the fact she never seems to settle down, but she knows that she owns herself and will never let anyone else change her ways, or change her morals. She stands up for what she believes in, and doesn't take anything from anyone. She's not afraid to speak her mind or tell someone they are wrong, and can take huge amounts of criticism without faltering.
Egotistical: If asked, Ashanti would say this was her biggest flaw. She's undeniably egotistical. She is self-centered and demanding, everything has to go her way or no way at all. She dislikes this part of herself subconsciously, even though she always thinks she's perfect. Even when she doesn't want to be she always ends up saying something conceited or something to indicate how self absorbed she is. This is something she dreams of changing about herself, to be someone more giving.
Powerful: Ashanti is a mare that holds a lot of power. If I were to relate her to a monster she would most certainly be a succubus. She has a way of winning both stallions and mares hearts and using them to her advantage, being the cunning and strong-willed mare that she is. Her confidence is alluring to some, she's influential and a formidable opponent. She's powerful in the sense of knowledge, not physical strength. She takes matters into her own hands instead of relying on others, and that has changed her life and made her feel powerful and unbeatable.

Sculpture: I just wanted to say this was so hard, I could NOT do the colors at all on this program, it was so laggy ;w; I'm deeming this a sketch sculpture xD
Tell me about her: Ashanti has a very specific quirk, she has a very distinct accent and dialect. From years of traveling she learned the dialects of other equids, picking up many different ways of speaking and even some odd gestures here and there. Her accent, in human terms, would be a mix of an African and an Scottish accent. Her dialect is very mixed, it contains words from all over the world.
Favorite treat: Her favorite treats are fig newtons, something she discovered when she got mixed up in a domestic herd. She loves the gooey middle and the sweet flavors, her favorite being raspberry. Although one might find it an acquired taste, she was hooked on the small pastries from the moment she bit into it.
First Impression: In a herd, surrounded by many other mares and stallions of every color imaginable. In the corner of your eye, you catch a flash of a light almost faded pink. Upon first glance, you're caught off guard, stunned by the uniqueness of the mare. Almost paint like white drips from her neck and tail, staining her strawberry coat with a splash of color. Then her eyes; as green as the meadows laid out for miles before you. Her walk, confident, alluring, mysterious, foreign, intriguing. Your curiosity sparked, you trot towards her, and upon further inspection you notice a small dot below her mouth, almost like a birthmark. Her mane flutters in the breeze like the leaves of trees as she pauses and locks eyes with you. Her voice flows like a river, dragging you along like a stone into her grasp. Hard to understand at some points, she begins to ask questions upon questions about the area you've lived in for years. You stand a bit taller then the mare, and you can see her puff up a bit the longer you speak, as if she was challenging you to some unspoken duel. Some words she speaks are beautifully unknown, mysterious. As you finish answering her, you decide to compliment her on her beauty. This seems to spark some hidden passion, and you can see the mare turn egotistical. She agrees wholeheartedly, and thanks you before turning away with a simple flick of the tail as a goodbye. With but a few words and the sight of her you've been caught in her web, pulled along into her stride.
Romance: Although always one to gush over the best and most handsome stallions, Ashanti will never settle down. It's against her spirit to do so, she wishes to never be tied down to one stallion forever. She doesn't, however, mind foals all that much. As much as she finds them a pain, like any other mare she has a deeply rooted motherly instinct.
Fears: Her intelligence comes at a price; she knows whats out in the world, and she has a major fear of two things. Germs, and the fear of being injured. Injuries terrify her, not only do they disturb her beauty and down her spirits but they attract her second phobia. She got both of these fears from watching an injured mare in her herd when she was a filly. The mare had come down with an illness from an open wound, and sneezed on Ashanti when she was asleep, which caused her to wake to the horror of being sneezed on. Trust her, horse sneezes are not a fun thing. From then on she was too scared to go anywhere near a sick or injured creature.
Spirit Animal: As seen in one of the above art pieces done by moonlitstallion, Ashanti has a falcon on her back. This falcon represents not only her inner spirit but also her freedom. She can go where she pleases, travelling around the world. She has the beauty and the threat of a falcon, fascinating but dangerous. Smart, it can hunt it's prey swiftly and use tools to survive which is rare in birds. Striving to be the best and not afraid to take out some of the smaller creatures in the process, she is fierce and competitive. The falcons nickname is pimt, based after all the people who helped fuel her spirit through art and allowed her to take a life of her own.

Equid's Name: Caillil (Kai-leel)

Name Explanation: I thought of this name a few days ago, trying to search for a more feminine version of the name Caillou (I don't know why, but it was a hard process, and it worked out in the end.)

Age: 5

Height: 13.2hh

Gender: Mare

Personality:
She is very ambitious, and when a new idea comes along she'll follow through with it. Because of her ambition, she is stubborn and never happy with anything until she finishes it in it's entirety. Thankfully she makes up for all of it with patience enough to wait however long she needs to to accomplish her task, and she is also persevering enough to never give up on the task at hand. She is also conservative and cautious, although not unwilling to try new things, she just wants to know every detail about it before she tries it.

She is very quiet, preferring to work in peace, but when in a crowd she has an offbeat sense of humor that could come out at any time, catching friends off guard and sending them into bouts of uncontrollable laughter. She has many acquaintances and a handful of really close friends, all of whom to which she is loyal. She extends the same helpfulness to each and every one of them, offering advice, a cheerful demeanor, or a strong, steady shoulder to cry on. She'll listen to everyone, and empathize with them, celebrate with them, and she'll never turn her back on them. She feels as if she needs to help as many others as she can, closely following the quote "Treat others the way you want to be treated."

Despite all her good qualities, there are some bad. Like how sometimes she can become too conceited and has to be reminded that she isn't as great as she thinks she is. She has tendencies to be very distrusting with new people she comes across, but once she believes they have proven themselves she opens up.

Though she loves the idea creating, she is very unimaginative and simple-minded, (not unintelligent, mind you,) never straying too far from her structured and organized life unless given a gentle (or forceful) push. Sometimes her steadfast hooves make her abrasive and withers her patience paper-thin, causing her to snap at the next equine to cross her path. Afterwards though, she makes it a point to seek out the ones she snapped at and apologize profusely, letting them see a side of her she only shows when she truly means the words she says.

Tell me about her: She thinks about what it would be like to go on an adventure, past the safety of her pasture, through unknown territory. She is often caught daydreaming by her friends. No matter how much she would love to venture away, she wouldn't be able to do it alone, she'd need that push, and secretly hopes her friends get the same idea and bring it up before her. The thought of just being out there in the harshness of nature makes her shiver with excitement.

Equid's Name:
~Euphalia
Name Explanation:
Euphalia (Pronounced you-fay-lia) is an ancient greek name meaning flower/ bloom. it is also the genus name of the brush-footed butterfly. Like a butterfly this mare is free and independent, and like a flower this mare is sensitive and absolutely beautiful. This name is quite dear to me, The first horse that i ever bought was a big powerful Strawberry roan quarter horse mare. Her name was Euphalia but i called her Roxy... i know weird nickname but i was listening to the song Roxy Roller on the way home from the sale and it just kind of stuck. When i got her I was just 8 so my dad wouldn't let me ride her. All my life i've been waiting for him to finally hand me her reins so She could be mine. I loved that horse. But a few years after we got her she slipped on the ice and broker her stifle. The Vet said there was hope that it could heal fully and she would be back up and going. 4 years passed and Euphalia never got better. Her condition weaned down to nothing. Early last summer I went out to find her, the moment i saw her i knew something was terribly wrong. My big strong mare's stomach was contracted and sucked in. to those of you who have never seen this in your horse you are lucky. Because of her bad back leg she had laid down and was unable to get up, her stomach had twisted and had brought My Roxy to her final day. Even now as i am typing this i am fighting back the tears. When i saw this strawberry roan i instantly thought of her and knew i would do everything in my power to get her... heres a picture of My Euphalia . She runs without pain in the meadows of heaven now. I will never forget the times i leaned against the fence and she would come and blow in my face, or the times i watched her running across the field. So thats why i chose the name Euphalia
Age:
~12 Years
Height:
~13.2hh
Gender:
~Mare
Personality:
Euphalia is a warm, enthusiastic, bright individual full of potential. She lives in a world of possibilities and can become very passionate and excited about things. Her enthusiasm lends her the ability to inspire and motivate others. she can talk her way in or out of anything. she love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it. Living each day like it could be her last and loving like every moment was her finest.

Everything Euthalia does lines up with her true goal (Maintaining her freedom) and her strong values. She needs to feel that she is living her life as her true Self, walking in step with what she believe is right. she sees meaning in everything, and is on a continuous quest to adapt her life and values to achieve inner peace. she's constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with herself or being captured and domesticated. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the Euthalia's life, and because she is focused on keeping "centred"; she is a very intense determined little mare.

Euthalia is kind of a nature child, she believes in protecting and saving the beauty of this world and enjoying the freedom of nature. She turns to nature to help her find that inner balance she is always seeking to achieve. She uses nature to calm any inner turmoil with peaceful meditation in the company of mother nature to rid herself of stress and find her inner self.

Euthalia is so alert and sensitive, constantly scanning their environments, she often suffer from muscle tension. she has a strong need to be independent, and resist being controlled or labelled. She needs to maintain control over herself, but she does not believe in controlling others. her dislike of dependence and suppression extends to others as well as to themselves.The whole idea of "I CANT BE CONTAINED" strongly drives every chose she makes. She is clever and extremely strong willed which has kept her free and safe in the mountains since she was born.

She is a charming, ingenuous, risk-taking, sensitive, likeable little mare with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. she has many gifts which she will use to fulfill herself and those near her, if she is able to remain centred and master the ability of following through. Euphalia avoids conflict at almost any coast but will fight like mad if it mean she can continue to be free and wild.

Tell me about her:Her greatest fear
Euphalia is the kind of equid that will never allow herself to be domesticated. she is terrified of what might happen to her inner spirit and balance if she is captured again... yes i did say again. Euphalia's fear came about because of an experience she had when she was younger. She had been old enough to be on her own when a group of humans capture her and set to work on humbling her into a domesticated creature. Euphalia would not be broke! she fought so hard and for so long that eventually The humans gave up. She escaped that time, and many other times, she has become quite the mastermind of escaping and tricking humans. Euphalia will never allow herself to become a human's pet. Here's a little bit of writing about this experience;

~Euphalia flared her nostrils and threw back against the rope that dug into her neck with all her weight. the lean two legged creatures stumbled forwards at her sudden jerk and Euphalia snorted with a frantic bellow. How had she been so foolish to wander so far from the herd. She tried to bolt but the rope around her neck had to much weight behind it and her narrow hooves scrapped uselessly at the dusty earth. For that moment Euphalia's world stood still, she looked up to the mountains, that strong hold that had cloaked her in her freedom and washed over her with its peacefulness. Her eyelids slid over her emerald irises and she collapsed, she stilled her breathing and lay absolutely motionless.

The humans shouted in confusion. one rushed to her side and pressed its hands against her roan neck. his senseless babbling meant nothing to her. but his closeness set fear alive in her stomach. This small creature wanted to dominate her, he wanted to break her spirit and sentence her to a life of enslavement. she had seen the way their horses had behaved, they were lifeless creatures, even their eyes had lost the fire of the wild. they obeyed the motions of these dominating creatures and allowed their minds to be corrupted with domestication. did they even think anymore? did they even realize what the humans had done to them. she would never let that happen to her.

The rope seemed to slacken on her neck as the humans came forward to examine the fallen yearling. at that moment she shot to her feet, there were yelps of alarm and she saw the two legged monsters scatter before her. There was no pulling on the rope to obstruct her movement any longer, Euphalia launched herself forward, the unmanned rope streamed out behind her. she made one loop of the high fenced round pen before she threw herself at the wooden planks. Although she was only a young mare the momentum turned the boards to splinters. Her feet didn't find themselves at first and she stumbled but managed to keep on her hooves. She could hear the sound of the humans behind her but she didn't dare turn her head to look.

With the fire of freedom burning in her gut as she made straight for the mountains. their rocky faces smiled down at her proudly so she charged on. the sound of her footfalls quickly changed from the dull thud of hoof on dried soil to the soundless connection of hoof on mountain grasses. trees closed welcomingly in around her changing from poplar to pine and she found herself soaring deeper into the alpine. the fresh brisk mountain air replaced the stuffiness of the coral smells in her nostrils. the rope slid free from her neck and she left it far behind her. she promised herself that another would never find a place on her neck till her last breath. The humans had not broken her, they could not and once more Euphalia felt the balance of nature over come the fear in her heart. She would never be foolish like that again. The humans would never glimpse her strawberry roan coat or even the fringes of her tail. "From now on i will be a shadow, they will never find me" she sang to the birds as they took to the air and danced with her. that day she danced for her freedom and her victory over the humans.

Equid's Name: Roanberry.
Name Explanation: There isn't a real explanation for what I have
done here. I wanted the name to include the nmword "roan". And being
a strawberry roan, what better a name then Roanberry? Its got a pleasant
ring to it, doesn't it?
Age: 3 years.
Height: 13.2hh .
Gender: Mare .
Personality: Roanberry is a very pleasant equid to be around. She loves
playing with the foals and going on long evening walks with fellow equids.
Being such a nice gentle creature, other equids who have a nasty nature tend
to get the best of Roanberry. She doesn't let the poking and prodding get under
her skin, though. Roanberry may not be the smartest of all equids, but she is
really bright. Roanberry is very spooky around fast moving and deep water.
This is due to an accident she had as a foal where she fell into the river.
Luckily she was able to get helped ashore by her mother who was there in a
heartbeat
