Foal

Desired Rank:

His brother’s Lieutenant :3

Appearance:

Theodore has always been a sort of ‘runt’, especially in comparison to other foals his age. Though he will catch up to them if given enough time (and calories), he will never quite reach the average height for a wild horse, capping at around 14 and 1/2 hh once he has stopped growing which thankfully isn't too small. That said, while he isn't a complete coward, he will never quite posses the right bulk to go trotting around other stallions as if he owns the place. No, even this young male's demenour is very peaceful and agreeable, so it seems he won't be much of a fighter but perhaps he won't need to. With his gentle and polite nature, he seems like he has the potential to become quite the charismatic young colt as he grows. And a handsome one too, with his soon to be majestic reddish coat.

As his legs are quite long in comparison to the rest of him, it leads his upper body to seem even smaller than it is. He has a tendancy to look underfed, but certainly isnt - and don't you dare suggest a thing like that to his doting mother. Theo simply is lower on the scale of muscle mass. He has quite a lean disposition, but thankfully keeps warm enough due to his thicker than average coat. Additionally, he is a quite fast and nimble youngster, so if he is feeling too chilly, he need only run a few laps with his siblings or friends to warm right up again. Speed is certainly up there in his skillset, albiet only in short bursts.

His coat, with its white markings and reddish undertones, is most likely the first thing you notice apon seeing him. Though that sorrel tone is yet to surface, there are hints of it across the bulk of his fur, especially around his eyes and the way sunlight shines off it. He has quite dark eyes already, a dark oak brown which are framed by his long eyelashes. His mane and tail are a similar colour, another dark shade of brown that almost appears black at the base beside his neck and hindquaters. The hair is already fairly long, although his mane still sticks up messily. It'll grow out soon enough, making up quite an impressive length, but for now it's not too neat and he often gets annoyed when his hair is groomed by this mother.

As for prominent markings, well Theodore has a few. Firsty, he has a bit splash of white across his muzzle, streatching down from a diamond-like formation on his forehead to a thick line that leads all the way down to his sooty-grey nose. He has two solidifying white socks on his front legs - just up past the fetlock and fading back to sorrel, with his hind legs also being tinged a snowy white, though not as boldly. He has no markings of the scar sort, as he is a very careful lad when there are situations that could get him hurt. When he was born, he was a very delicate young foal so has continued to act so cautiously about himself - despite having grown thankfully out of the danger stage, which now allows him to be a little more rambunctious if he wishes to be.

Personality:

When it comes to his mannerisms, this young colt does appear to be quite shy; he keeps very much to himself and close to his mother unless called on by a sibling or friend. Theo is never the one to initiate a conversation, or game. He will patiently wait for someone to come over to him or invite him in, and then he'll happily engage in it. Despite this, he isn't as much of a coward, nor a pushover as you might expect. Sure, he does go along with almost anything his twin brother ropes him into, but that's the exception. For the most part, Theo will act of his own accord, such as running back to apologise to another youngster when his brother is out of earshot - especially when he knows they have acted a little too nasty. Theo really isn't keen on this brother's moments of dictatorship, but they pass quick enough that he can move past it, or else deal with it descreetly behind his back.

As for his general temperament, this young male is quite the sweetheart. When he is playing around, he personally tries to maintain some consideration for other's wellbeing and is often the first to run for help if someone gets hurt, as little as the incident may be. He is very atune to other's emotions, and very curious, which makes for the right pairing of a very very good listener. His aptitude for senernity can make him seem very quiet, slightly more than he is. Though he won't talk over anyone, and speaks with a gentle tone - he has his own thoughts and opinions and won't change them for a moment of approval. And, when he really gets a chance to speak with those he is comfortable with, he can have a really interesting conversation as he often has interesting ideas that no one else has considered yet.

As an adult it is likely he will maintain his gentle and patient nature, although he might be able to become more assertive - hopefully dislodging himself from beneath his brother's shadow. As a full stallion, there is no doubt he'll be a quiet but effective charmer, with quite a sneaky streak to him. Though he is good at getting what he wants, he won't sacrifice the wellbeing of others for it, and will become more confident in being kind and honest in front of his brother - rather than behind his back. In terms of his sneaky streak, despite being quite an honest male, Theo will do his best to avoid the wrath of other males even when that means flirting with the ladies when they are out of earshot. Unfortunately his main strategy once he's in trouble with other stallions is just to run off with incredible speed, which might not make him look the greatest in the eyes in potential mates.

Lead Stallion

Appearance:

Archibald is a tall colt for his age, towering over most of the other young foals within the herd. His form is essentially all legs and no body, with his upper portion having yet to properly fill out. This lanky appearance hints towards his future prowess, with a height of 17.2 hands being the most likely end result. As of now, his build does show signs of developing muscle mass – a far cry from what he will reach upon maturity, but a good start. His overall structure is considered to be on the lean side of things, but is bound to become more burly or muscular the older he becomes. His hind legs appear to have already gained some amount of this muscle mass, allowing for spring loaded jump, kicks, and bucks. An ever developing stamina pool seems evident, with many believing it to be his future forte. A broadish neck extends from his body, ending in a slightly disproportionate head – being a tad small for what may be expected of him. He is still growing into both. The mane and tail of the colt are still relatively short, with his mane still in the “mohawk” like position and his tail not even flowing past his hock. His ears are big for a head the side of his, but are slowly being grown into. No scars presently mark his hide, aside from a few healing nip-marks from a certain other foal.

A light bay coat stretches out along the foal’s dense silky fur, akin to the dust of a dry prairie. Its golden brown touch encompasses most of his form, its glow only fading in a few select regions. The first of these are his front legs where the light bay turns to a more dusty shade of brown – starting at the knees and halting at his fetlock. Below his dusty coloration is a brilliant white, as clean as freshly fallen snow itself. Or, usually as clean. His hind legs appear to lack this dusty brown but do turn a snowy white following the fetlock. This white often gets muddied and is hard to pick out from amongst his usual golden tone. The underside of the foal carries some creamy-white elements, running along the insides of his legs but skipping over most of his belly. This same white has lightly marked the sides of his muzzle, sprouting up just after his lips end. His nose appears to take after that of his father’s in coloration, fading into a near-black gray of sorts. His ears are tipped with a near-black brown, as though they were the point of a pen or pencil. His mane and tail are similar to the hue seen on his ears, being of an off-black complexion. Some bay colored hairs can be seen within his mane as well, making it appear lighter than it actually is. His hooves are a soft light gray, similar to the generic “stoney” gray that so many think of. They are likely to get darker as he ages. Dark brown-near black eyes are the final piece of this foal’s puzzle – the color of still-moist soil. They take much after his father’s own eyes, mimicking them to the degree that most see his father staring back at him whenever their gazes meet.

The voice of this golden colt is that of a stereotypical adolescent male – expressive and rarely consistent. Its pitch leans towards the medium sides of things rather than the higher pitch some colts possess. This pitch goes steadily higher the more annoyed or outraged becomes. A boisterous tone is coupled with this pitch, creating an almost bossy sound to it. An airy sound permeates from his words as well, giving him a sly undertone to his already boisterous one. Even if he really is anything but. The standard voice cracks have yet to appear within his speech, but are bound to make an appearance some time soon.

Personality:

Brash || Bossy || Bit Of A Bully || A Tad Bratty || Smidge Hot Headed || Argumentative || Rude || Immature || Acts Brave || Extroverted Around Other Foals || Is Actually A Tad Cowardly || “Tough Guy” || More Introverted Around Stallions || Bit Of A Copycat || 50/50 On Obedience

“Let’s play ‘Bachelors.’ I’m the lead stallion and you’re the bachelor. Good luck.”

“H-hey! That’s not fair! Mommy, she broke the rules again!”

Archibald is quite the brash little fella, not really thinking before acting. He often rushes into things, making impulsive decisions that can quite easily lead to trouble. Many of his “adventures” have been spurred on by this – being probed enough times by a certain someone that he just has to prove her wrong and come along. His speech patterns follow much the same method, with harsher words coming out prior to his brain having comprehended them. “Bossy” is another adjective that most would slap onto this young foal – a label well earned in his eyes. He enjoys telling the other foals what to do, instructing them on what they will be playing or doing in general and how. In his mind, it is his right to do so. After all, he’s the strongest colt around here! He needs all the practice he can get if he wishes to be a lead stallion one day, and this is a great way to do so. Those who go against his “orders” will not be treated kindly, with a small bit of bullying being his go-to for punishment. It won’t last too long, however, and won’t be very impactful.

It is relatively easy for other equines to get on the light bay’s bad side, considering that they are of his age group. He is hot headed to a rather harsh degree, with the smallest thing able to ignite his short fuse. He has no shame hiding his either, letting any foal (aside from his twin) taste his fury without a second thought. Their only escape would be an adult, whom he usually refuses to act out in front of. To those that actually try and speak against him, do not expect a victory. He is argumentative as they come and does not back down from any argument without having the very last word. The topics of these arguments are typically minor things, with his “takes” being filled with immaturity. He can, at times, show this streak of towards his mother as well, but those instastances are usually shut down the second they start. He doesn’t dare to get the last word then. But, he still has the tendency to disobey and talk back a small amount from time to time.
A brave facade is what presents itself upon first meeting this foal. A “show no fear” attitude that many could look up to. That is, if it was actually genuine. This “brave face” is mainly plastered on in front of other foals in an attempt to impress them – give them reasons to follow his lead and act as his own little posse. His naturally extroverted nature (which is almost exclusively used around other foals) tends to help in this case, for those that can look past his large rough patches that is. However, for as much of a “tough guy” act this foal can muster up, he’s truthfully not all that fearless. On the contrary, he is a bit of a coward. While challenges are no use to him, he will end up shaking his in non-existant boosts at the very prospect of danger. An unsurprising trait for a young foal, but not a quality he wishes to have. After all, if he cannot stand up to danger, then how could he ever be worthy of the title “lead stallion.”

Around the stallions of the herd, Archibald is an entirely different foal. He isn’t rude nor bossy nor argumentative. He is quiet and introverted, being inwardly honored to be around such powerful stallions his heroes that he cannot be struck with awe. To then, he appears to be more of an introvert – content on just listening to all their tales, exaggerated and true alike, rather than speaking with them. This is especially true whenever he is with his father, though is able to muster up the courage to say a line or two towards him. When given the chance, the bay colt tends to try and copy the actions of his father – usually by bossing around some of the other foals in a harsher manner than his father does when giving orders. Battles moves, flares, and the like are copied from time to time as well. It also appears the young colt is much more obedient around the stallions of the herd – following their orders without a moment’s hesitation. Though, the same cannot always be said about how he acts around his mother. It is usually a 50-50 on whether or not he will actually behave around her, or follow her instructions (outside of the practical ones). He tends to avoid acting out in front of her nowadays just so he does not have to put up with her lectures.

- The young colt hates whenever his mother or father calls him “Archie.” It’s embarrassing!

I forgot ta add my favorite character from the movie! ;-; Honestly, just from those I haven't mentioned in the past, it is probably the soldier horses that were seen laughing when Spirit was first captured.
