Name You'd Choose for It:Alou'e
Gender:female
Reason You Want It:She's been giving me the eye for quite some time now, though I was sure she'd go quick. She's simple, but very appealing and I can very much see myself drawing her often. <3
I'd been thinking I was going to find/make a canine guide for Nyati as her tribe will only see her as their true 'wise woman' when she has found a companion/guide. However, I very much love the idea of Alouette as her guide. Despite not being a 'powerful' species, her tribe revers the horse as an un-tamable spirit. To have one choose you in such a way would bring great respect.
History/Background/Other:Personality:
Alou'e is pushy and insistent, but she couldn't be more sweet. She is deeply attached to Niyati, her companion. She requires near-constant attention from the Tree Kangaroo and will enthusiastically and happily press herself, against the Roo if she ignores her for too long.
She is athletic and a skilled protector, but she, like her companion, is still young and still makes many mistakes. She shows great promise as a guide companion. She strives to live up to the expectations of both Niyati and the tribe, but she mirrors her friend's internal fears of falling short.
History:
She was born a near-normal Rocky Mountain Pony. The only difference between her and the rest of her herd was her strange disconnection to them. During these younger years, she was very different, still happy and enthusiastic, but there where many times when she would simply stop and stare as though in a trance. She would stay in this frozen state for hours if allowed. To break the trance all one had to do was nudge her enough to move her. Then, she would be back as though nothing had happened.
Even without these trances, she seemed to only be half of a whole being, her personality only had the one side and her off-vibes often gave others a creepy feeling. Her eyes were light and cloudy, often blank of expression, giving her a ghostly gaze.
During her second year, she met Niyati. She spotted her staring at her from high in a tree. She paused, standing straight up-right, giving away her position to any predator who could be stalking. Luckily, the lookouts had been doing their job well that day and she was quite safe despite being farther away from the others than she usually was. She was drawn to this strange being in the tree and their gazes locked.
The stranger slowly descended from her perch in the tree, never breaking eye contact, and approached her as one might an old friend.
Alou'e was confused. She felt as though she knew her, though she couldn't remember ever having seen her.
She stopped in front of her and smiled, reaching out toward her. She let her hand hover a few inches in front of the pony's nose.
Alou'e raised her nose to press against the strange hand. Immediately, she could feel a clarity flow through her and she knew the stranger to be her other half. The ghostly look vanished. Her eyes cleared to a bright chocolate brown. She gasped lightly, realizing she could finally see clearly, in both the figurative and literal sense.
The change from wild mountain pony to guide companion was fast, but she never looked back or questioned it. It makes sense to her and she knows this is why she was different to begin with. She was always meant to be with Niyati. She told him of her importance and the bond they share and she adapted quickly to tribe life.
They call her 'Deliverance' for their hope that she, along with Niyati, will lead the tribe into a new age of prosperity. It is a name she hopes to live up to as Niyati, which means 'Fate', 'Fortune', or 'Supreme Power', hopes to live up to hers.
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.Of course~<3
