name: klara. age: 5 gender: mare birth season: spring.
body type: warmblood height: 15hh color: palomino. eyes: brown distinguishing marks: star and crooked stripe. genetics: ee/Aa/nZ/nCr overall general health: Excellent general health.
personality: Deep down Klara is an incredibly kind and motivated mare, ever-eager to make good use of herself in the eyes of others. Ever willing to lend a hoof should a stranger need help, Klara is generally unafraid to step in, though she understands her own limitations and can let herself be intimidated. She's the sort of mare to grow self-conscious easily, and will often hold her tongue in fear of what another might say or think. She has some distrust when it comes to stallions, typically having been wronged by them in the past, but she isn't unwilling to give any individual a chance if she thinks they have a good heart. Overall she needs guidance, often getting lost in an overwhelming sense of aimless wandering: she feels she has a purpose, but has been in search of it for so long that she fears she may never be able to find it.
history: Klara was born in the northern territories. Her parents were nomadic, and so they didn't stay there for much longer; as soon as Klara learned to walk, they eagerly moved on to the next place they chose to hunker down in that season. Each season they would wander from place to place, though, the mountains had always been her favorite. Klara grew up with an older sister, though the elder mare didn't stick with their small band for too long, and within a year she had moved on as well. Never tied down to one place, Klara grew up feeling fairly lost in her life, and lost in her ambition. There were things she enjoyed doing, such as exploring and singing, but it felt as though such trivial things alone wouldn't take her where she felt she needed to go. To this day she feels obligated to find some kind of a purpose. Once the mare came of age she too left her family's band, and set out in search of something - but what that something was, she had no clue.

*relations
romeo ⸺ pierce's younger brother. king of the moraine mountains. tasunka ⸺ a lone traveler. good acquaintances.
*personality
Pierce was always a huge mama's boy, and it ultimately affected how his upbringing shaped who he was. Patient to a certain extent, stern, yet understanding, Pierce is a firm believer in free will and a horse's right to it. He isn't a particular fan of authoritative figures, at one point being a very rebellious colt in his youth. He has since "straightened out" in a way; having grown older, he likes to believe he has a very firm understanding of the world and how it works. He is receptive to change, yet very willing to stand his ground for what he believes in. Strong willed and a bit hard-headed at times, Pierce is also incredibly protective toward those he cares for and will bite his pride to fight for them, even if they haven't spoken in ages. He tends to see most things in a very serious light, and tries not to hold a grudge for long - though, he's not particularly good at letting things go, either.
*history
Pierce was born an heir, his mother a queen and father a king - however, being raised one would never be able to tell. The herd that once resided in the moraine mountains was very much down-to-earth, though, behind the curtain Pierce and his siblings would actually be held to some very high expectations. His mother, perhaps a saving grace, did her best to not allow the king to interfere with his foalhood, and allow him to simply be a child. It was perhaps for this reason that Pierce did not necessarily want to follow in his father's footsteps, and when adolescence came he made a bold decision to leave the herd for free lands. His father, unhappy with the fact that his eldest heir did not wish to step up in duty, warned that if he ever chose to return, he would not be welcome.
Pierce did spend some time away from his family, and did indeed struggle to make it on his own. Well used to other horses having his back, it was quite a culture shock for him to have to watch his own. There were times when he debated trying to return, but would never forget the way his father told him that he truly could not come back.
Eventually, Pierce would return, but in unfortunate circumstances. It was his youngest brother who sought him out, pleading for Pierce's return for his father was actively passing. Having suffered a severe injury after attempting to save the queen, who had perished far before Pierce's brother had found him, the younger stallion wasn't sure where else to turn. Pierce did see his father before he died, and the stallion denounced Pierce as one of his sons, instead placing his younger brother in charge of the mountain herd.
Pierce would ultimately honor his father's request, but chose to not stray too far - instead making a home for himself in the Smokey Forest.
Year 1: Pierce officially claimed the Smokey Forest for his own. He reunited with his childhood friend Elowyn, and named her his queen. They eventually connsumated their union, and conceived a foal, due in the Spring.

name: lilith age: 5 gender: mare birth season: summer
body type: warmblood height: 15.3hh color: Black eyes: Black distinguishing marks: Small star on her forehead. genetics: EE overall general health: Excellent general health; selective mutism.
Opinionated, but relatively reserved, Lillith is the type of mare to be quick to judge someone before she knows them. She is highly intelligent, and coupled with a rebellious streak, it would take a lot to outwit her. She feels as though she must always get the last word in, and has a tendency to be rude to those in favor of her own ego. It isn't easy to see, but she only acts this way outwardly to protect herself; deep down, she has the ability to offer and understand kindness, and with those she can develop a deep connection with, she can be fiercely loyal and patient. When pressed to her limits, she has a tendency to shut down completely, and due to past traumas she can go completely mute in particularly tense or stressful emotional situations. It is because of this that she built up a tough exterior.
*history
Lilith was born to a hot-headed stallion and a quiet mare; with fire in her blood and lineage, she was full of personality even in her foalhood, to save the least. Her mother essentially allowed her to do whatever she pleased, unsure of where to draw any lines - and her father, when he was around, only seemed to stoke the flame. Lilith was quick to wean and even quicker to leave her family behind, vanish from her mother's side one day without much of a goodbye. She felt there was far much more in store for her outside of her tiny bubble. Since then she has wandered the lands without much promise for what the world had to offer her; for the most part, the horses she would come across offered her nothing but disappointment, in her opinion. She has yet to find a home 'worthy' of her time or patience, but has high expectations for her own future.

*personality
From a young age, Nokomis was taught to be respectful - and those teachings still empower her today. She is an incredibly intelligent mare, quick-witted, and fairly independent. She has a particularly strong curiosity that has been carried with her since her foalhood, and she may often find herself in precarious predicaments because of it. She has a particular ability to notice and understand the changing world around her, and it has ultimately left her with the sort of insight many can find useful. Though she has a tendency to stress her desire to remain a free, unclaimed mare, deep down she longs for connections again; having been robbed of her family at a young age, she's shoved down her feelings of dread and loss, and struggles to understand her misery in her solitude.
*history
Born on Laipawa Island to a band of horses who have lived on the lands for as long as anyone can remember, Nokomis was believed to be a fated successor for the small tribe, due to her unique markings, and as such was raised upon a high pedestal. It didn't sit particularly right for a stallion named Gaius, the previous successor, born to the band's leaders. He did what he could to paint Nokomis in a bad light, though his efforts were in vain in favor of the youngling who bore an uncanny resemblance to the stallion who had founded their band many generations ago. When Nokomis was two, she was to be put through a coming-of-age trial, which would also serve as a rite of passage into her becoming the next leader of the band. However, Gaius was eager to interfere with the ceremony, and had major influence in ruining the trial for Nokomis; it ultimately ended with her being banished from the group forever. For a time, Nokomis fled to the Kekoa Archipelago, and spent many years hiding from those who had betrayed her, and left her to fend for herself. At one point she had debated swimming to the mainland, but decided to return home and attempt to reconcile...only to find that the horses she had once known had completely vanished.
Year 1: Upon return to Liapawa Island, she encountered a mainlander who had claimed the island for his own. However, the stallion disappeared shortly after. Later she would encounter another, a native Islander named Argemmon. She was bestowed the title Oracle. To relieve some of the pressures her King was facing, and after witnessing a vision, Nokomis fell pregnant by Argemmon.
Year 2: An intense hurricane ripped through Laipawa in the Spring, leaving Nokomis to fear that the powers of the old gods were attempting to threaten the herd, and lay claim to the future she and Argemmon wished to build. He sustained injury attempting to keep her safe from the storm. When summer broke, Nokomis gave birth to Laipawa's heirs, Nereida and Cepheus.

*personality
Denver can initially come off as uncaring, even hostile if provoked. He's quite used to a solitary lifestyle, and isn't particularly keen on allowing himself to be disturbed or interrupted. He's more likely to leave another equine alone, and mind his own business rather than step in and interfere, even if he suspects something is awry. Not to say he isn't polite; should another equine approach him, he'll at least grant pleasantries. He does has a soft side, though, he saves it for those who he genuinely cares about. He doesn't like to let himself get too involved with others, for worry of having them be torn from his side - though deep down, he hopes to develop connections. He will be fiercely protective, and paired with his own natural strength and willpower, he is unwilling to allow someone to stand in the way of what he wants. He'll even stand to fight for others, if he feels strongly enough for them.
*history
Born to the Mountain herd, Denver is the son of the old King and one of his mares. His upbringing was fairly normal, quiet and solitary for the most part, with his mother taking care to raise him with manners and morality. Denver lived there for most of his young life, though, unbeknownst to him it wouldn't last forever. Once the King's heir was born and Denver reached two years of age, the young stallion was chased off of the land. He tried to fight for his right to stay, but inexperience was trumped by the King's natural strength, and fortunately, Denver was able to escape relatively unscathed. Unwanted by any neighboring territories, the bachelor found himself squandering in the free lands, banding together with other young stallions who'd come to face a similar fate to his own. Eventually, he did see his mother again; after the King and Queen of the Mountains faced their untimely fate, the mare abandoned her mountain home in search of the son she'd lost so many years ago. He'd spend her remaining years caring for her, until death would come to claim her on a peaceful spring morning. Denver has been wandering the lands since - unsure of whether he'd like to settle down, or remain comfortable in the bachelor life he's grown into.
Year 1: Denver encountered some fierce gators in Browlick Quag with Ghazal. Sustained some physical injuries in the scrimmage. After a particularly cold and lonely winter, he spent some time with a strange mare named Ghanima; spending the night together results in her pregnancy, giving Denver his firstborn son, Ignus.

name: eponine age: 1 gender: mare birth season: spring, year 2
body type: warmblood height: 15hh color: bay tobiano eyes: amber distinguishing marks: tobiano markings genetics: Ee/AA/nT overall general health: excellent general health
Eponine, born Aponi to Elowyn and Pierce, was born as heir to the Smokey Forest herd. Alongside her twin brother Apachi, it was plain to see the filly easily fall under her father's shadow. While her mother and brother faced illness from birthing complications, she began learning from Pierce at a very young age. For a time, and despite the illness, they were all fairly happy.
A particularly harsh winter, however, would eventually claim her younger brother's life. Coupled with complications that followed her since the previous spring, along with an immense amount of hearbreak, Elowyn would pass away shortly after.
Aponi was left to grieve, for the most part, alone. She had a distant relationship with her mother, and was only just getting to know her brother; but in their passing, it seemed Pierce was beginning to be just as absent from her life. She found herself gravitating toward the other horses of their herd, particularly their occultist, Juniper, for guidance.
