Username: Tarra
Equid's Name: Sunroe
Age: 7 years
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.1 hh
Wild or Domestic: Wild
Personality:
Sunroe is in many ways your typical everymare. She is a solid member of the herd: dutiful and responsible, caring for her herdmates' welfare as any good equid does. Impressions aside however, she is also known for her calmness and her surprisingly strong powers of observation. In crises such as a violent snowstorm or flight from a predator she keeps her head and her cool, often leading the herd as she picks the best escape routes or sheltering spots. She is very perceptive: often the first to spot a hidden predator or notice if herd members are hiding an injury. Or, for that matter, nursing a secret liking for another equid. Few things escape Sunroe's notice, though she is usually discreet enough not to mention things if she feels it would embarrass someone else.
Strengths aside, Sunroe does have her quirks too: notably her lack of patience for rambunctious youngsters and her extreme shyness around stallions. She tolerates yearlings well enough as they're the sons and daughters of her friends and fellow herd members; but she takes no nonsense from them and won't hesitate to emphasize it with a sharp nip. And doubly so if they try to tease or giggle at her nervousness quietness around males. Sunroe isn't afraid of stallions, just painfully self-conscious. She usually gets on well enough with the ones she is familiar with; but when speaking to a strange stallion she almost always stammers, stutters and just plain trips over her own feet.

Answer:
It dawned cold and windy on a midwinter landscape, frigid with white and snow. Sunroe had slept little - she'd spent the night beside a yearling, and he had been restless. As the sun rose, the herd uncurled from their cuddled poises, stretching and frisking to work the cold from stiff limbs, necks and shoulders. They meandered to the nearby stream and took tentative sips from the water, just beginning to warm with the sun. And after that, it was time to begin grazing their way to the upper pastures.
Not that the yearlings did much grazing: they were bouncing around and butting each other and the adults. Sunroe whiffed at them in annoyance - after a night of foal-minding she wasn't inclined to patience. It was then, snorting a rebuke at one of them, that she spotted the mountain lion just beyond him. She squealed an alarm and the herd startled, wheeling like a flock of birds to bolt back down the mountain. Sunroe ran ahead, hoof falls light on the rock as they scrambled down crags and careened over scree. Minutes passed before they stopped and found the lion had not followed; perhaps it hadn't been hunting, but always better safe than sorry. Spooked, Sunroe was vehement against going back up the same path, and the rest agreed - they headed for one of the nearer pastures instead.
It was mid-day by the time they reached it, having stopped many times along the way to feed. In winter any forage was taken gratefully. Fortunately the weather had held fine today, and Sunroe basked in happiness at having made a rare find: an entire bush full of leaves, enough not only for her but also a few other herdmates. As the herd began grazing the rough, worn pasture grass, she sought out a close friend and they spent a pleasant afternoon grooming, minding the yearlings or just standing nose to tail dozing.
They began the trip down the mountain later that afternoon, seeking a sheltered spot for the night. A large overhang beside the trail offered it; and the herd spread out nearby to do some final grazing before huddling for the night. Sunroe, standing sentry in the last light of day, watched the sun set and decided that, tonight, she would make sure she did not end up next to any of the yearlings.
