Orbs
You are able to tell which Unaluna belongs to which Season by the colours of both their Orbs on their stomach, and their coats. Each different season has a different colour orb-
• If the Unaluna is a Winter Unaluna, then their orbs are white.
• If it is a Summer Unaluna, then it's orb would be green.
• Spring Unalunas have Blue orbs.
• An Autumn Unaluna's orb would be red.
Unalunas will hibernate for three quarters of the year, waking only at the beginning of their season, and sleeping only at the end. Because of this, Unalunas do not sleep at night time; instead, they have often used the night time and its concealment to benefit themselves and further their herds' progress.
Variations
Within the four main types, there are three variations of Unalunas.
After the dark times, during the first few days of the unicorns' new Unaluna life, they were forced to run and live with only a few others, to avoid human detection. The unalunas remained in these smaller herds for a long time, without any contact with the others of their kind, some of them not even aware that other herds existed. Unfortunately, quite a few of them chose their friends and loved ones to run and live with and (possibly due to their lower intelligence) many forgot about staying with unalunas that weren't of their own gender or directly related to them. This meant that their new herds consisted of mainly one gender, which created massive breeding problems for them, and some of their herds died out as a result. After a while, they began to get more curious and so many went to explore and find others. This was brilliant for them, and so they all joined together into one big herd, and lived far away from human civilisation. These unalunas thrived, and now they make up most of the unaluna popution. However, not all Unalunas developed this sense of curiosity...
Earth Unaluna

This is an example of one of the Unalunas living in the -name- herd, the biggest and most common of them all.
There were still a couple of herds left, who lived too close to humans, or were still too scared to leave their homes. These were the ones who had seen what humans did to them in the dark times, and these were the ones who had lost a sibling, or a parent to the humans' greed. Many of them had watched their family being slaughtered, helplessly. These herds were the ones suffering most from their poor choice of running with their same-gender friends. Thousands of them died out over the next hundred years, until very few were left. In each of these herds, they were left with an average of three Unalunas, and figures show that there were just 11 herds left. Their elders decided that something must be done to combat their desperately low populations.
So, they came up with the idea of breeding with other wild animals to stabilise their own populations. Each herd picked a different animal to breed with, unaware that the others of their kind were doing the same. By doing this, the Unalunas have been also fortunate enough to inherit some of their mates' natural qualities. So far, nine of these herds are yet to want to be adopted, and are still hiding somewhere in the wilderness, with their emotional scars still prominent in their everyday lives, but two small herds have decided to give us another chance.
One of these herds, the -name- herd, decided to somehow mate with Peregrine Falcons, the fastest bird known to humans. By mating with this animal, this has provided their herd with immense speed. The -name- herd has also been provided with big, feathered falcon wings, which are able to let them fly, and a common marking - a stripy chest. Very, very rarely, they also inherit some feathers somewhere on their body. However, a common fashion accessory that they love to wear is a necklace of feathers from their mate. This isn't rare in the slightest.

This is an example of a -name- Unaluna, who has a peregrine falcon mate and parent and lives in the mountains. These unalunas are rarer.
The other herd, the -name- herd, decided to (more conventionally) mate with red foxes, an animal often depicted in human stories as the clever, cunning, sly animals. When the Unalunas mated with these foxes, they gained intelligence, so much so that they seem to have an IQ of that of the average human adult. They have also inherited a fox's brush tail instead of their natural equine ones, and they too have gained a common marking- a fox's bib down their chest. Although it must be plain, unlike an actual fox's bib, this can be any solid pastel colour, not just white. However, because of their heightened intelligence above the other Unalunas, they aren't always the most pleasant Unalunas to be around- they can be very back-stabbing and cruel, unless you get to know them very well. Even then, it they will rarely give unless they receive. They can be arrogant towards other Unalunas too.
(Fox) Unaluna

This is an example of a -name- Unaluna, who has a Red fox mate and parent and lives in woodland areas, far away from human civilisation. These Unalunas are rarer.
