MAZIKEEN, valkyrie, birth alias underground blossom, 9
mare, QH, seal bay, sire: hadestown dam: temptress
mazikeen is a foul tempered mare with no tolerance for young
mares or stallions. she has a deathly double barrel and will
strike any unknown horse. she was born to a struggling herd that
was wiped out some years back. her birth herd only taught
her aggression. mazikeen does not have a soft side though she
does have a deviant one. she enjoys the sole attention of a sea
soned stallion and is dominant in a herd situation. the only
real way to court maze is to snake her. she will challenge her
fighter but knows when she is defeated and is not a rebellious
spirit. in fact she is a strong head mare and reliable brood mare.
her intelligence and rough upbringing makes her wise.

ELIZA, jotunheim mare, birth alias fate's advocate, 4, mare,
andalusian, champagne, sire: ironborn son dam: desert nomad
eliza was born deep within the thickets of the hnitbjorg territ
ory to the current reigning stallion bjorn. she was never well
socialised and lacks good manners. due to the predators in the
forest, she is fauna-wise and her knowledge repels any fear
she has towards the unknown. a tough exterior, eliza appears
closed off and needs to be directed with firmness or she will
take advantage of your indecisiveness. this is what made phan
tom a suitable stallion as he seems similar. she has a loyal stre
ak and can rarely be pulled away from her current family. she
treats everyone as equals, her own foals or other's offspring;
she will care for them all. eliza speaks with grit and does not
sugar coat situations. she is not dominant but will not be pushed
around.

HEIDI, alfheim descendant, birth alias northern warcry,
xxxxxxxx 3, mare, dominantly frisian x wild horse, solid black
xxxxxxxx sire: the drums of war dam: northern quiver
heidi is a balanced mix of both her parents. she was born solid
black with no markings but the endurance and elegance of her
mother. from day one, heidi was independent like her dam and
preferred to learn things on her own; making her stubborn like
her sire. she retains the agreeability of thera as well as being
family orientated. from titan she quickly gained an ego. heidi's
good gait, figure and sleek colouring is obvious even to her.
she can be a bit of a show off and does not do well when direc
tly challenged. her flaw would be that both her parents taught
her cunning. she holds an underlying manipulation and believes
all debts should be paid.

BJORN, hnitbjorg king, alternatively called ironborn son, 14,
xxxxxxxx stallion, andalusian x mustang, amber champagne
bjorn was born in jotunheim to one of the king's favoured mares.
full name is ironborn requiem, his mother wanted all to know of
the strong frame and build he had inherited. bjorn is a secretive
and suspicious stallion. his territory makes him an alert and sea
soned in defending his herd. bjorn doesn't overlook little details
and is known for his good judgement. the most aggressive of the
stallions, he is usually avoided and therefore appears antisocial.
bjorn is pretty exclusive and has high taste for his herd members,
whom he protects ferociously. in times of crisis, bjorn acts with
initiative and intelligence and is not beyond negotiating with oth
ers in order to maximise survival. he is cold towards his off spring
and usually chases them out early; whether they die or not is of
no business to him. he treats his mares respectively.

DART, earl, full name d'Artagan, 8, stallion, appaloosa, bay
d'Artagnan is a vivacious and youthful stallion with a charismati
c first impression. what he lacks in wisdom he makes up with in
tuition with a strong moral compass and sense of sensibility. whi
le dart likes to explore his boundaries, he is not a risk taker and
believes in survival over his legacy. dart is vocally dominant in t
erms of his opinion but due to his conservative nature he knows
when to back down and would rather live to fight another day
than risk it all for the sake of his pride. he thinks himself quite
the looker and is rather flirtatious however it doesn't take much
to put him in his place. dart was born within valhalla in the land
of alfheim and thus maintains knowledge of the area. he's athle
tic, enduring and playful with a love of humour and relaxation.
some consider this immature but when it's time for business, he
is very focused and determined.

titan was born to the former hnitbjorg king a
nd a mare named darkness in the night. he r
emained with the herd until two when he wa
s kicked out. from there he remained as a ba

mares due to the king's. a champion of fightin
g at eight years old he challenged the aging al
fheim king and emerged victorious. ever since
he has ruled the herd pridefully.

to outsiders titan is not many one seek out., ov
er-protective and perhaps over bearing at times
he's defends his herd ruthlessly. all who overste
p a boundary and punished swiftly. for those who
are lucky enough to escape they will be best off
hiding as Titan is not one to let go of a grudge a
nd always seeks to right it. to his herd he is muc
h softer, he values mares highly and is always wi
lling to listen to their opinions. he's caring and a
pushover in fact, getting what they want isn't dif
ficult and he's easy to bend to their will. he's pri
deful of his children and adores them almost imm
editaely. The stallion boasts a soft spot for foals a
nd is highly unlikely to turn one away. above all e
lse titan is a prideful king, he does not tolerate di
sloyalty and if one leaves, unless they're his childr
en, then they are not welcome back.

personality. astrid is a prime example of a mare who isn't quite sure how to act her age,
while most others may be interested in flirting with stallions as they search for their next
herd based off of the bravery and reputation she is far less concerned with those things.
yes she does want a stallion capable of protecting her young but the mare is also concer
ned with having a stallion capable of acting like a father. her mind remains fairly family-
orientated and she desires to have at least a little of that dynamic. the mare thrives on b
eing social and having the ability to speak regularly with others. luckily she's a very likeab
le horse as many find her calm and trustworthy demeanor to be relaxing and a comfort. th
ough not exactly wise she prides herself on being good at giving advice as well as complim
enting others to make them feel better. she's unlikely to take compliments herself as she's
extremely humble. overall she's a caring mare who always manages to look out for others.

Northern Quiver

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Just a taste.
Name: Northern Quiver
Nickname: Thera
Looks:
The one in the middle
Rank: Herd mare
Gender: Mare
Age: 12
Height: 14.2


Things left unsaid...
Personality: When one looks across the Alfheim herd, Thera would not really be the first one that comes to mind. A nondescript white mare splashed with muted colours, she looks like a standard paint. Not filled to the brim with fiery dominance nor shrinking to the corner with meek submission, she is the self-sufficient and quiet sort, the type one wouldn't really pay much attention to.

However, like the stripe that starts from her forehead and trails waywardly down her muzzle, there's something a little off about the little mare. Whether it's how she carries herself, with grace drawn from an unknown source of self-confidence, or maybe how she watches everything that happens round her, though she often reserves her comments.

Most herdmates would know her as a generally agreeable individual. As long as you treat her generally amicably and don't attempt to bully her nor her young foals, she's fine(though once the goals are about a year and a half, she grows disinterested, often letting them fend for themselves.)

But if anyone tries to test her boundaries, watch out. Thera is fine with not being the most dominant out there, and if anyone more proficient than her tries to take charge she will willingly step aside, not especially bound to titles or roles. However, if she senses that someone is in over their head and will cause harm to the herd, she will not hesitate to do something about it, though this will probably be through telling someone about it.

Someone who greatly prefers anonymity, Thera isn't the loudest nor the most friendly individual. Anyone who really knows her would know her to be the nonchalant sort. It isn't really that she is disillusioned, more that she knows that this is how the world works and she doesn't really see a need to interfere in it. She knows that in this world nothing really lasts, and with the herds, everything changes frequently and quickly.

However, because she watches so much, she usually is pretty knowledgeable. She is quite content to watch everything go by, but to the rare few that she calls friends and for her foals, Thera will take action, though even then one might not know it. Thera is the type to do things in the shadows, whether be it through spying, quietly planning a coup or uncannily appearing at just the right time with just the right item, she aids things in a way where it would be hard to pin any sort of agency on her movements.

Though quiet and not exactly the most sociable, Thera is the kind that you want to have on your side, whether for want of her aid, or fear of her against you.

History: Thera actually had a relatively normal life. Born to a wayward herd near the three main herds, her parents had to skulk around, trying to avoid the notice of any of the kings. Which actually succeeded for a while, but when she was about a year or so, her father got found out and chased away, and her mother and her were taken into Alfheim.

Since she was a mare, Thera's life was spared along with her mother's, and they simply integrated into the herd. Whilst her mother was taken in, the other foals often saw her as an outsider, and the other mates saw her as future competition. Her mother tried to help, but after a year she had a foal of her own and was a little too busy to keep another eye on her 2 year old.

Forced into self sufficiently where normal mares under the kings could stay till 3 or 4, Thera had to grow up fast, learning to pick her battles and stay under the radar so she didn't get targeted and yet didn't get relegated to the bottom. Because of this, she got very good at watching everyone and learned how to do things indirectly, whether by turning gazes or finding ways to slip from sight.

Over the years, she perfected such tactics as well as growing her own arsenal. Though she often doesn't ask for a fight and isn't usually provoked, she can throw a mean kick if provoked.

The little things...
Pet peeves: Having to come into the limelight, things being troublesome and outside her reach.
Fears: Being unable to do anything.
Loves: Her foals, spring, wind across the sea-especially when it plays with her mane

Ties that bind, ties that break.
Herd: Alfheim
Dam: Once in a Blue Moon
Sire: Raging Tempest
Foals: About 7? (Havent decided ifI'm going to make any of them)
Northern Warcry- Heidi

Random stuff I couldn't put anywhere else.
Other: nothing much.

Midnight's Mirage

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
Just a taste.
Name: Midnight's Mirage
Nickname: Phantom
Looks:
Rank: King
Gender: Stallion
Age: 15
Height: 15.2


Things left unsaid...
Personality: If one was to describe Phantom with two words, it would be hardy and adaptable. No nonsense and not prone to showing off, he doesn't tend to make a lot of noise. Very adaptable, Phantom often takes the trials and tribulations of life with a pinch of salt, and thinks fast on his feet to come up with a solution. To him, there is no reason to mourn the dead or the lost. Life belongs to the living, and in that sense, it only really belongs to you if you are making the most out of it. There isn't that much time before one dies oneself, and if you're joining the dead soon enough there will be enough time to think about them then.

When dealing with outsiders, Phantom is very strict. Maidens and Valkyries are allowed to choose if they'd like to join or not, in which case, he will accept them, but if they do not wish to join or are indecisive, Phantom will chase them off, not bothering with keeping them. In this sparse land where survival itself is an issue, he would rather a tight knit band than a large one. Earl's are allowed within a certain distance, but if they come way too close, he will engage them, and fast. The way he sees it, if there is going to be a fight, then having it done with as soon as possible is the way to go. He manages to do so well too, with that being how he won his herd in the first place. With a stocky build and a fast gait, Phantom is strong, and fast enough to pull his attacks off cleanly. Combine that with a fast mind, and you have a horse that is both able and willing to make his opponents bleed.

Towards his herd, Phantom tends to be relatively free form. Though he tries not to form too deep a connection to foals because he knows he has to let them go eventually, Phantom harbours deep care and affection towards his herd, which is frequently shown in how he behaves. He wouldn't get in the way of the mares during their dominant shows, but he is not above giving misbehaving foals a nip for their mothers, not the type to leave the foals to themselves. They are his children too, after all, so they should at least have a certain standard. His herd members are generally allowed to wander around, Phantom only bringing them together if there is a very real threat. After all, in jotunheim, grass is sparse and predators are few. All the same, he keeps a sharp eye and an attentive ear out at all times.

History: Coming from a land outside the three bands, Phantom was born in a large herd filled with other foals to play with, yearlings that tried to tease him and plenty of watchful eyes. He was never the biggest, nor the strongest foal, but Phantom always had a willing and playful heart, and always was up for a fight, even if he thought he would lose. But from every loss Phantom learned, and he watched other foals play at what the winning horses had done to win.

By the time he was a yearling, Phantom was winning fights with his own batch, and when he was around 2 years old the colt was playing with 3 year olds. Quickly enough though, he was kicked out the herd. With high hopes, the stallion had assumed that he would go and start his own band, but though he managed to flirt with and cover a few mares, they were always stolen by the end of the breeding season. Tired of being constantly chased out of herds and the such, he joined a bachelor band and took his sights off chasing tails for a while-though he still did when the opportunity was presented to him.

From this, he learned how to lay low, and for a period of about 6 years, he lived like that for a while, wandering and getting brief respite where he could find it. Even then, however, he watched other band stallions and how they did things. When he was 10, he was separated from the bachelor band by chance, and ended up in this land. He spent a year or so scoping out the area and observing some things, and then challenged the Jotunheim King. Long story short, he managed to win, and has kept this herd for about four years.

The little things...
Pet Peeves: Others whining that they don't know how to do things. In his opinion, if you don't know how to do things you watch, learn and then try and try again.
Fears: His loved ones being harmed.
Loves: Peace, winter
Young: Many, but most not played.

Random stuff I couldn't put anywhere else.

Foals:

A City's Dream (Dream)

Small, but her personality is anything but. Tiny little spitfire. XD

With a small stature but fiery personality, Dream is loud. One wouldn't suspect Dream to be anything but a little angel when she is asleep. With a completely white coat like her dam but with slightly lighter hazel eyes, Dream being born premature means she is much smaller than the average foal and with that carries this look of fragility about her that is hard to hide.

However, when this foal moves, it is easy to see that she inherited her father's anger. With a loud opinionated voice, Dream has a strong sense of justice and self-righteousness that she also got from her father, and if anyone does anything that she perceives as not fair, she will not hesitate to tell them so. Seemingly born almost without fear, she will not allow herself to be baited or cajoled(well she will, but she'd feel incredibly guilty about it). However, she does have a caring side. Dream is incredibly affectionate toward others who gain her trust, though she tends to be wary toward strangers, warning them away with a warning snort and the pounding of her little hooves against the ground. When she finds a role model she likes, it is not uncommon to see her tailing another horse, copying their movements to a tee.

Her naïveté also shines through when any form of affection is shown. Though she refuses to move from her positions if she's decided on them, any form of compliments or grooming brings this foal over the moon. She also tends to try to take on tasks she cannot handle, and tends to see things through rose coloured glasses, being very sure of what things should be. All in all, this foal is a character, and is one full of promise, even if her body doesn't exactly cooperate.
