Orientation ▻ StraightHeight ▻ 11.8hhDescription ▻ Though Wykka is of medium to average height of the usual Kirin cow, her size does not belie her power, and her legs are strong for all their delicacy. Surprising enough for a cow, she's unusually strong; she could fight for her own life if it meant it. She is at all times standing straight and proper, with a nobly arched neck and curved tail, her bearing commands respect. Her tail is long and catlike with a generous dark plume at the end, and it has served her well in several dangerous situations where balance could be the key to life, or death. Her sky blue eyes are wide and bottomless, set in a small but finely featured face, and her coat is a rich medium gray dappled with paler spots. Her hooves and her legs are a dark raven black past her hocks and knees, and the same color tips her tail and rims her tapering ears. A snip on the tip of her nose is the only marking to break the eveness of the pale gray covering her face.Personality ▻Wykka is a calm cow, no matter what trouble or dilemma that may throw itself against her, she will face it head on. It seems as though nothing could break her mask of cool efficiency; everything she does, she does with deliberation and a good deal of thought. She is loyal to her herd and would never forsake those she cares about, and would be rid of her own dignity and honor, and even personal happiness, if it meant the life of one she loves. She is actually very emotional, her pale eyes burning with intensity, if water could burn, yet burn it does. But her level of self-control is higher than most, and she doesn't let these things show, hard as it may be at times. Loyalty is the most meaningful trait she values the most; she can overlook many things if the kirin in question is loyal to what they believe in, and has a brave enough heart to stick up for it. Though she can be seen as rather bossy and even vain at times, it's only because she's trying to obtain the best for her herd. I'll be adding more to her and Aiwe's personality descriptions as I find out more about them myself. History ▻ She'd been raised in her family herd as the daughter of the lead, expected to be a cow of high ranking when she was old enough to find a herd of her own; she was treated with respect and loyalty on all sides, and grew up not knowing the hardships of many others; she was protected in a bubble of good land and a strong herd with family who loved her. Yet it all changed the night of the fire. It was the middle of the summer, and there had been a drought; yet thankfully they'd located a river too wide and strong to have diminished too far, and knew not the extreme to which the loss of water had gone. One night, to the east, a fire was kindled. No one knew how it started or when, but the winds blew it west and soon it had overtaken the forest her herd was sleeping in. In their panic upon waking, the herd scattered, disappearing in countless different directions. Wykka, too, bolted, not knowing what else to do. It was only by luck that she came upon the river; yet diving into it, she stood there trembling in the chill while around her, the trees burned and her family died. She was a coward that day. But it was also that day she knew the true meaning of family, something she'd previously taken for granted. That day, she made an oath to herself to never let family down again. That day, her mask of calmness too descended. For it had been her very height of emotion, that overpowering fear, that had driven her away from the possible help she could have given. But unlike others, she didn't swear to forsake emotion; she recognized it was part of her, so strove only to contain it, not extinguish it. She was young. That night, she had been of two years. But she was mature. The comfort in which she had previously lived had not spoiled her, as it might another; no, only served to strengthen her, for she now knew what real loss was. Since then, she was a wanderer, travelling across the land, passing here and there as a stray through countless different herds, but none inspired her to stay, though they called. It was this herd she chose to reside at, for this reason or that, no one really knew why it was different from the rest of the herds. But here she would stay, and has stayed for thirteen years. She quickly rose to the top; her intelligence and cool head and air of dignity were what made her good in a crisis, and she was heartbreakingly loyal, even then, nothing able to stop her determination once she put a mind to it.

Height ▻ 12.4hh
Description ▻ The first impression one might get of her is that of grace. Aiwe is tall, for a cow. Easily she rises above the other females. It would seem a cow might make use of this height, maybe in the way of attracting the attention of bulls, but it is not so. On her feet she is light as a bird, leaning forwards as if she might unfurl wings and leap into the air at any moment. Her body is lithe, slim and strong, built for running, and she is one of the fastest around, strong for a cow as well. Her coat is thick but with a smooth, strangely soft texture that can't immediately be placed; a coat with that sort of texture would be lighter, more flowing, but hers is plush and warm, a strange combination. All the same, it is a rich medium to dark chocolate, lightening here and there into caramel at her throat and the end of her artfully plumed tail, but fading into a more muted hue at her hip to show a bit of silver brindling. It darkens at her muzzle and her lower legs, taking on an almost dun-like pattern of stripes as they merge into the deepest of browns, broken only by white socks that contrast sharply with the black of her hooves. Her ears are rimmed with black but filled with creme, and the place at the back of her head sometimes gives the impression of the crest of a bird. She has a blaze running down the fine line of her nose that widens to take in part of her jaw, with a small splash at her brow to highlight the bright lime of her quietly intense gaze. Overall she might seem rather plain, being mostly one color, but her eyes are what really set her apart, if one takes the time to look.
Personality ▻For all her grace and physical abilites, Aiwe is actually a quiet cow; respectful to her betters and loyal to a fault, but in truth rather shy. She doesn't make anything more than a half-hearted attempt to socialize with other cows, and prefers her solitude; often brooding over things long past. She has been raised in a situation where to show overt emotion was to show weakness, and her true inner strength shows in the blanket of steel that descends over her eyes when her emotions are at their strongest, turning what might have been a beautiful face into something hard and unnapproachable. She's rather uncomfortable sharing personal opinions with those she's not close to, but has to fight with herself to make herself try to get close to them at all. Her history has never granted her gracious oppurtunities and it is a ghost that constantly haunts her. The shell that covers the one she truly is is as adamant as time and sharp as diamond, and she can at times be easily offended, forgetting that others don't know of her plight and thinking they mean to slight her. Though she wouldn't voice her hurt or even anger- it would be demeaning- she feels it all the same, all her emotions just sinking deeper into her heart where lies a ball of ice that has never had the chance to melt. But she is kind, deep inside, and cares for those around her, but maybe she doesn't even realize it. Her softer side has never been given a chance either. But she's not a bad person, just unknowing of something things in life, some possibilities, that had always been open, had she dared to just look. She is loyal, honorable, and respectful, and, deep inside, kind, and someday, those things will be the things that matter.
History ▻ I'd like to discover this through role-play, if that's acceptable; I don't know much about her past as of yet but simply starting the RP and learning along the way seems to work most of the time.
