Happy Holidays folks! Here's my first unwrappable equid! ...Sorry for the derpy wrapping, I'm out of practice!

Unwrappable equids were created 2 years ago around Christmas time. You get told the base color at the beginning and this year there is a little twist to our traditional celebration. A section of the wrapping will be revealed on the 20-21st. The winner will be announced between Christmas day and January 10th; this is also when the equid will be completely unwrapped!
Happy Holidays!

Equid Name: Chiman, meaning "curious"
Gender: Stallion
Height: 13.1 hh
Ice Sculpture: The ice doesn't melt? Whaaaaat!?
Learning to skate? True to his name, Chiman has always been curious about skating and would love to learn it. Bitter cold doesn't penetrate his thick coat and so even when on snow or ice, Chi cannot feel the cold and so thinks it would be a delightful experiment. However, his few attempts at walking on ice have gone disastrously- we're warning you to stay out of his way unless he gets horseshoe-ice skates.
Warm up nourishment: Despite most equids needing to drink after having a hard workout, such things set Chi's stomach to churning; in fact he is allergic to most things like citrus, strawberry and linseed that will warm a horse up on freezing days. So rather than a drink, he gets something more substantial, yet simple, to fill his stomach with: a hot bran mash with whipped cream on top.
Quip query: I can clearly picture a beautiful equid- he would have a pure black mask on his face, trailing over his lavender eye and then having little bits drip off over his cheeks and muzzle like this. He would have similar thin, slightly dripping black quip encircling his neck, but it begins to change on his shoulder; for one, it thickens, and two, it fades into liver chestnut. After that it continues, now as thick quip and gradually brightening to golden chestnut. All the quip should be vertical and fullbody, but spaced out, not tight-packed. So fade quip in both color and size :'D

Equid Name: Oliver
Gender: Stallion
Height: 12hh (shorty!)
Ice Sculpture: wip
Learning to skate? Oliver doesn't much like being cold, so ice skating isn't something he wants to learn to do. He would much rather stay inside and read a good book next to the fire than go out on a cold frozen block of ice to slide around on his bum. He has never desired to learn to slide around in helpless circles. Who on earth would want to do that?
Warm up nourishment: If Oliver must go out into the freezing weather, the first thing he does upon returning to his warm home is make some hot tea. He likes mint the best, but he also enjoys honey lemon chamomile and on occasion ginger. And with his tea he likes to eat some kettle corn popcorn! If he had his way that's all he would ever eat... But alas he isn't allowed.
Quip query: I would love some drip quip, of a dark color. A rose gray with a dark coloring of drip quip coming from him shoulder and some on his face would be absolutely to die for.

Equid Name: Ender (From Ender's Game)
Gender: Stallion
Height: (Your choice, between 12 hh and 14.3 hh // hh increase in .1, .2, .3 only)
Ice Sculpture: I wish to be able to do something like this one day...
Learning to skate? Ender is quite adventurous, so he certainly embraces learning to ice skate, but he is totally prepared to fall. He stretches before so he doesn't hurt himself severely, because he knows he can't protect his friends and herd if he is hurt. But he does like to try a new adventure!
Warm up nourishment: Ender doesn't have a warm up nourishment. Tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are for those who can't handle the cold.
Quip query: Minimal quipping, definitely. Probably nothing too flashy, so that his coat will be shown better. Maybe a little bit of barring/leg quip of a darker shade of his coat? I think a little bit of horizontal facial quipping would be awesome!

Username: Nicholas
Equid Name: 4
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.3 hh
Ice Sculpture: Click. <3
Learning to skate? Nicholas isn't really afraid of trying anything new, he's got the courage straight from his heart to try new things even if it may look difficult to try out. But when it comes to tying those ice skates on his hooves it's a little bit of a different turn around with trying out new things. First of all getting them on his feet is a little easier said than done and getting on the ice, even harder when you have to keep your balance. Even with that said, he'd be willing to try it again, just as long as he doesn't fall and get his tongue stuck on the ice again.
Warm up nourishment: Lots of warm tea to warm him up after a long day outside. Yes, that seems to be the perfect warm drink to have after being out in the cold all day, time to lay down by the warmth of the hearth and drink tea as you think of what the day was like.
Quip query: Drip Quip - Why do I want drip quip on this boy? Well it's the winter season after all and drip quip reminds me of icicles that have melted and refrozen over. It just looks so cool and I believe that this boy would look good with that kind of quip.

Ice Sculpture: X
Learning to skate? Sign him up! He's not very good at that sort of thing but it sounds fun to try anyways! He thinks it'd be great, especially if he could get a friend to tag along!
Warm up nourishment: Red hot apples! Oooh yeah, hot in more ways then just one and oh so delicious. He likes thing that are sour or spicy, etc like red hots, and throw that in with some nice hot apples and it's just perfection.
Quip query: I'm thinking some white quipping in whatever color the artist thinks is fitting, and... not sure how to describe it... kind of like horizontal quipping, I guess? Like it starts on the back of the neck/shoulders/back part of back and sweeps back horizontally on his sides if you know what I mean? I hope that makes sense. xD

Ice Sculpture:Whoa..
Learning to skate?Steam wants to learn how to skate badly but he HATES falling because other equids laugh and he feels like a failure but he knows to never give up.
Warm up nourishment:Mhmm Very Hot Coco with tons of mini marshmallows topped with cool whip.
Quip query: Super Light grey drip quipping BUT! The drips would be more like rain drop type drips along his back and to his tail. then in the center of the drops it would be a dap of brown it will kinda look like hot chocolate.!. Kinda like how necklace quipping works?

Learning to skate? Hes very scared to learn to ice skate (the little baby) but he cant wait to let go and have fun on the ice.
Warm up nourishment: He loves drinking hot lemon tea with freshly baked sugar cookies after having fun in the snow.

Equid Name:North
Gender: Stallion
Height:14.1
Ice Sculpture:Wolf pack hunting 0o0
Learning to skate? Hes rather reluctant as hes always though skating looks like a good was to break a delicate leg, he would like to live a long life or die doing something noble, not because he broke a leg learning to skate.
Warm up nourishment: After a nice long stroll in the snow he likes to find a nice dry place to rest and he loves to warm up by ( i know this isn't plausible but i dun care) drinking a nice French vanilla latte, he has a certain love for them.
Quip query: im thinking white and dark grey quip that's in a beaded necklace quip fashion that wraps around his neck/chest and continues down his mid back. Also with pretty eye quip and minimal to no paint markings. if this makes sense?
