Goennec Pen #: 3
Name: Rannoch (Named after David Clement-Davis's character in Fire Bringer)
How would you use him/her: He'd be a member of my growing herd, a Prince for Aussie to follow. He will be Lazuli's greatest rival in terms of strength, but his greatest friend in terms of training Aussie. He will be a background RP character, and, to balance that, he will have a large part in the second story arc, by helping Cass and Auss mature into the strong adults they must be. He will be open for breeding, however, he will not be a straight Goennec.
Define your Goennec: Rannoch is one of the prizes of the herd, outside of the Siv. He is strong, fit, powerful, and very much a warrior, though he has never sought out the Prince or Prime positions. The predators near the herd have learned to back away from his sparkling green eyes, lest they find himself on the receiving end of his sharp, hard horns. But for all of his strength, his genes can never pass on to offspring. Rannoch, though he could have any female he could ever want, desires not the dainty hooves, short horns, and femininity of the ewes, eyeing only the strong, muscled shoulders, deep voice, and sheer power of members of his own gender. Namely, Lazuli.
As a maturing youth, he was troubled by his own preference, especially when his mating instincts didn't flare around ewes during the Siv. Rather, when his "excitement"* around the rams became obvious, he would have to either have to lay down as fast as possible, or face the embarrassment of the others noticing and putting the pieces to the puzzle together. His eyes were especially attracted to Lazuli's sapphire-blue mane, and often could not handle being around the slightly shorter male for too terribly long.
As he grew older, his actions became more and more like that of a proud Prime, especially in his gait. Slow and decisive, he was often mistaken by ambassadors from neighboring herds as the leader, just by the way he always held himself. He had also gotten into the habit of being very clean, bathing himself almost the same way a cat would when he has a few hours to spare, and is thus one of the most groomed Goennecs in the herd. His attention to his appearance has counteracted the plain pattern on his coat, which both makes him desired by several, dreamy ewes, as well as very much Prime material to anyone who is not familiar to the dynamics of the group.
Around others, he has shed his awkward stage, for the most part. His voice, vocabulary and mannerisms are just as regal as his appearance. However, when he's alone with Lazuli, he is the stuttering, shy kid again, green eyes stuck on blue hooves as he mentally wishes for the courage to admit his feelings and to be able to endure any jeering from other members of the herd.
Alone and underneath his powerful exterior, Rannoch is lonely. He feels isolated because of his preferences, especially since the brother of the object of his lust is very hateful, and would never allow such a relationship in the herd, as far as he can tell. He tends to be very sullen when no others are around, kicking small rocks in front of him as his dreams of being with someone are ripped to shreds in his mind.
His life's wish is to find love, and be free to show it, though it appears to him that it will be an impossible task, at least as long as Lazuli's brother is around. Therefore, he must settle on being Lazuli's friend, and live with his dreams of the relationship becoming more.
