Headshot:XXXTailshot:XXXPersonality:Never is their a dull moment to be had with this crazy and momentum filled mare. At first look, she seems just like any other wild horse. A breathtaking image of nature and its wild history. A shiver of fresh beauty at its finest. You start to take a step closer, you yearn to touch and feel the sleek teke coat. You feel so close and then... WHAM! Yup, a fresh kick will knock you into your senses. What did you think? She would be a sweet, kind mare or something? How could she have never been able to be captured before? Survive even, through these tough months in the wild. Nope, Epona is a hardy, rude, bossy, and highly independent mare. She always takes matters into her own hands, weather it is kicking a hungry cougar in the a**, or defeating the humans with her swift and aim-on bites. Getting near this mare is what people describe as impossible. Epona hates the fact that her relatives where captured and partly tamed. She often thinks about breaking into the humans world and saving her rare breed from their imprisonment, but just as often she shakes it off. Even she knows she is no Superman. Because she is one out of only several wild phaethon tekes, she has absolutely no experience with foals yet. She does not interact with any of the other horses much, but alerts them at even the slightest noise or strange movement. She is not mean to the other horses, but as you can imagine, she has shown them that she is the absolute boss of her territory. Of course, I must add some positive things into Epona's personality. She is very fond of the sky, weather a star filled night, or a heavenly like cloud display. The feeling of peace that washes over her body is like no other that she experiences. Also, if their is any small lakes around, she will be the first to dive into the cool water and get whatever dirt and snarls off her coat, mane and tail.

History:Because I have been SOOO extremely busy in RL I can't finish this part, but I really want to, because I already have her story written out in my head. Super sad about not writing this, because it would have been my breakthrough. Well, good luck! Thanks so much for the chance dia! XD Have fun judging.Likes:☑ Her freedom
☑ Having her space
☑ Beautiful Skies
☑ Defeating the enemy
☑ A good patch of green grass
☑ The birds chirping
☑ Bathing in cool water
☑ Being clean and shiny
Dislikes:☒ Super Cloudy Days
☒ Winter Months, harder to find food
☒ Being Trapped
☒ Irresponsible Mares
☒ Being over-dirty
☒ Humans
☒ Windy Days, when she can't hear as well.
☒ Any predators
Strengths/Weaknesses:She has a few particular strengths and weaknesses that really do stand out.
She is very good at hiding pain. Because of this, she seems unloving, but truly, she does get attached to things and loves things. Their was once a young mare that their herd had adopted. One day, the mare was captured. Forever will Epona be mad at the humans for taking that mare, who was like a little sister to her. The other mares where surprised about how fast Epona got over it, but truly, Epona was crying for her loss on the inside.
No fear. No fear at all. She can't hide it because she just does not have any at all. Though she hides how much the herd is to her, she would rather fight any day with a wild beast or human to keep them safe without a second thought.
She is actually very forgiving. Though when something happens she might seem mad, but she just can't hold grudges on any of the other horses. This does not go for humans
Fears:You would imagine that she would be scared that her freedom would be taken away, but that is the least of her worries. Actually, she is very confident that no one could ever take that away from her. She would rather die than be captured and trained. I don't think she knows that us humans are not all the bad, but she was born and raised being told to keep away.
She does have a silly fear of growing old though. She knows that if she always defeats everything that tries to hurt or kill her, she will keep on living, and if she keeps on living, she will grow old! Then of course, she is scared of becoming weak and fragile.
She loves the sky, but she also has a bit of fright that she hides when she sees a shooting star... and a picture of it shooting down to earth and blowing up in front of her flashes in her mind. Lol, kind of like all of the silly sci-fi movies they make.
Friends:I never even realized when I chose the name Epona for this girl, orse had named the horse that she is entering for Europa! We had a good laugh at it on a stream, and decided to make them friends. Because Epona is too scared to have a real friendship with anyone, she does not have any friends in particular.
Europa, a tall and flashy mare, who was once in the herd that Epona is currently in, was quite a good friend to Epona. Europa never really stays in one herd very long, but assured Epona that they would probably meet again in the future. Epona is always on the look out for the beautiful blue roan mare as they pass other tiny wild herds, but has not seen her for quite a while. It scares Epona a little, because their are so few herds out their, and if their are, so tiny.
Lifestyle:For being wild, Epona's lifestyle is very simple. She is in a herd with 6- horses, and they never stay in one place. Walking, trotting, cantering, or galloping. They stop to eat, drink and rest. Sounds boring? No, it is peaceful, adventurous, and exactly how she wants to live the rest of her life. So many places to go and see. The challenges life and nature bring keep her busy and happy. The silence and at the same time so many beating hearts and blinking eyes all around her.
She does not plan on having any foals yet. Maybe some time in her future years.
Future:She wants to travel up into the mountains with her heard. They have already done it once, and it is a lot of work and hardly any food, but the reward is greater than any, When you stand at the top, you feel like nothing else.
Otherwise, her future just sounds like the same wonderful thing that she has lived every day.
Poem:"The Sky" by Chelsea Poshni wrote:Have you seen the Sunset and Sunrise
And the Horizon that's a prize
How the colors mix and melt
And look as soft as felt
How they float away into black
As you wish them back
And that feeling that makes you sad
How the tears come and just make you mad
But then you see the stars
That are so small they could fit in jars
Now there are so many
You'd buy each one with a penny
How they shine so bright
And don't put up a fight
So you stand watching them twinkle and shine
Then you realize you feel fine
So you sigh
And say goodbye.
