Username: Dizzy socks
Equid's Name: Niko
Age: 7
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14 hh
Personality: Niko appears quiet, subdued, easy to quash. But Niko isn't. Niko has opinion, ideas, fears, joys, and everything which makes you complete. But he never shows these feelings, never. No one can work out Niko, he will let equids push him so far, but no further, and when he retaliates, he hits hard, with cutting, biting words, to which there is no answer. He is smart, so smart, but so distant, so hard to reach. Now he is ignored, respected for his strong character, and resented for his cutting words. There is something not quite right with Niko - he makes you feel uneasy, for he himself is uneasy.
Answer:
Niko does not love another equid. Niko never has, probably never will. His skin ripples over his taut, powerful muscles, and he stands tall and handsome. But he does not love equids. For something happened, all those years ago, which made him retract into himself, until he was a shell, empty of emotion, to all appearances.
But Niko does love, he loves the butterflies that dance in the meadow, the whirring crickets singing in the leaves, the birds high in the trees, whistling a melody. With them, Niko is free, free to express himself, free to feel, free to live. Without the nature around him, life would be empty. They are his solace, they give him peace, and help him to look forward.
Niko loves all the other creatures around him, which sing and dance without a care, and they love him, for they see him for who he is.
