Flavia is a sweet mare who is very loyal. She is rather friendly and chatty with her fellow herdmates, but is tense and cautious around strangers and horses of the other herds. She is a bit timid and horses she doesn't know make her nervous, which is why she keeps her distance. It takes time for her to trust others, but she warms up quickly to horses who obviously aren't a threat. She is very caring and wants to do whatever she can to help her herd, but she tends to spook easy and her nervousness gets in the way.

personality;
Song is an idealist. She believes that everything can be fixed, and more importantly that she can be the one to fix things. She sees the best in everyone, which can lead to some issues as she's not properly wary of some figures. The filly is also blindingly naive and doesn't understand how harsh the world can be. She's clumsy and forgetful as well, not entirely the smartest of the bunch. Song is very kind and gentle, though, and popular with younger foals.

He knew his fate from the start. The observant colt watched as, one by one, his friends
were ejected from the herd on their second birthdays. Before that day came, he bade
his mother a hard goodbye and set off on his own into the wilderness. There was no use
in waiting for the inevitable. He took fate into his own hands and took the world by storm.
The world has not been as kind to him. Its grotesque fingers left deep marks across the
stallion's lithe frame. Scars speckle his roan hide. From coyotes to stallions, he's faced
bravely what's stared him down. Yet he remains indomitable to the elements, rising back up
against whatever threat stands in his way. After years of lonely wandering, he has found
himself in this odd place, unsure of how he managed to get here or if he really wants to stay.
One thing has remained in place: his solitude. He has done this on his own, and he prefers it
to stay that way. A fragile heart sits in his chest, protected only by his reluctance to
intermingle with others.

Growing up on earfuls of strange tales, Orion was comforted by her mother's soft
voice and hung on to every imaginative word. Those stories seated themselves in the
mare's malleable mind and pushed her to be adventurous and daring. She heard of
fearless mares, ferocious stallions, and both defeating fearsome foes with a kick of
their hooves. And so she believed she could do these things. She set off on her own long
before she needed to, taking the world head on and not being able to wait for the
adventure that was calling her name. She has boundless energy and a need to see all that
the world has to offer, even if it means giving up the safety of the herd. While she is very
much of a follower, the young mare can't seem to sit still long enough to be a part
of something, always setting off before anyone has a chance to really get to know her.
Goodnatured, many have approached sweet Orion in an attempt to sway her to their side.
She always runs in the end. No herd has kept her with them for longer than a few moments
of her life. And then she's gone again, chasing some distant dream.
