Personality: Piru, as he is known by friends and family, tends to be more of the quite type. He’s friendly and would hate to come off as antisocial, but really he’s just a little shy with those he doesn’t know, and he doesn’t have a great self-esteem to top it. He loves to welcome new horses into the herd, and wouldn’t want them to feel alone or disliked, but his nerves sometimes get the best of him. He’s very thoughtful and loves to surprise his friends with a sweet gift of some sort, but really doesn’t like to be the center of attention and would prefer to congratulate others on their accomplishments than he being praised for his. It’s hard for him to open his heart to others, because he doesn’t want to fall, and he doesn’t really have hopes for himself of winning the mare he has an eye on. He just doesn’t want to give himself a chance, for the fear that he’d be let down. He's very modest and likes to downplay his achievements, but there's a quiet sort of assurance, a knowing kind of nobility in the set of his eyes and the slight arch in his neck that shows he knows himself well mentally as an individual, and is as confident as he can be in his limits, what he can and can’t do. He tends to keep to himself most of the time and doesn’t go out of his way to seek attention from others than his closest friends, but if one’s willing to listen to him long enough he can be unexpectedly funny with a shy knack for witty remarks. He's really a sweetheart, though, and though he tends to let a lot of things slip by (though not unnoticed) in the ways of insults, and things like that, when it comes to defending the things he takes pride in, like his family, he can be startlingly fierce. It's one of the few times his slightly feistier side shows through. He hasn't had much cause to physically fight for anything, so he's not sure what end he might come out on if that was ever tested, but he has sharp wits for all his quiet, humble bearing, and the deep glow in his gentle eyes shows a surprisingly intense intelligence. The air of quiet understanding about him and the way he moves often blends in with loneliness, and he's never been depressed but once in a while his usual positive air will sink and stay that way. He is a good counseler and willing provides a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, and though he may seem simple in his views of life, they usually end up being the ones that matter most. He's incredibly emotional, and even the simplest of things can move him. He's never lied but once in his life; his emotions play out through his face and he can't seem to help it. It's just not in his nature, to hide and conceal, the truth at least, even if he's not the most outspoken stallion there is. Though he’s not much of a traveler because he fears unexpected pain, and dislikes changes to his steady and somewhat habitual life, Piru does sometimes wish that he’d seen more of the world at some point. He’s not built up the courage yet, but he doesn’t want to let his life just slip by without having some sort of dangerous adventures or experiences. For he’s really a poet and a storyteller at heart, and loves nothing better than a good tale or two. If you get him to let down his barriers he can be sweet and beautifully eloquent, with quite a story or two to tell in his soft, husky voice, if one listens long enough. He’s hesitant to share his poems and such with others, but he has a sharp memory and they are all listed in his mind, gradually building up. It’s the everyday sort of thing that inspires him; a shimmer of heat waves in the distance, the toss of a mare’s head or the way a whinny reverberates and then disappears into the distance. He is loyal though, and corageous in his own, soft-spoken ways. In truth, he has a soft spot for foals; they're so young, pure, innocent, inexperienced, curious about everything; in a way mirroring some of his own traits. He loves to take care of them, play with them, cuddle with them when they're frightened. Piru would make a great father someday, and he has the good sort of lessons to pass on, the ones that really matter, in the end. He may be quiet but he doesn't stand for cruelty, and he always strives to be respectful and polite to everyone around him, helping out gladly when he is needed. Though the way he stutters when he’s nervous may give him the impression of foolishness and awkwardness at times, he’s quite a bit wiser then he seems at first
