|~| Ms. Graves |~|
Name: Snowflake Phoenix Graves.
Age/Gender: 42/Female.
Role: Teacher.
Your Horse's Name: Aquila Lapis.
Nationality: American.
/~/
Appearance:
Snow stands rather tall at 6’ 0”, though she sometimes seems 6’ 1” due to how upright her posture is. Her skin tone is an ivory color with neutral undertones. She has no freckles that can be seen, except for when they’re in a certain lighting.
--
Snow has a diamond face shape, meaning she has a smaller forehead and a smaller sharp chin, the middle of her face larger, the whole thing on the longer side. Now for the nose, she has a duchess shaped nose, meaning it’s basically the stereotypical nose. Her lips are thin in shape.
--
Her eyebrows are average in thickness, with practically no arch at all. Finally, her eyes are a close set hooded shape and are a grayish brown in color. Her face is framed by thick black hair that has some gray and white streaks in it due to age. She blames it on Apache and her students driving her to insanity. It goes down to the middle of her back, though it’s most oftenly up in a ponytail.
--
Her body structure could quickly be described as rectangular. Everything about her structure screams that she’s more so built for agility than muscle. She weighs in at 145, with her BMI at a healthy 19.66.
--
For clothing, Snow practically always wears a white blouse shirt, a light brown jacket, and some jeans made for riding horseback. As for shoes, she mostly wears boots made for riding.
Personality:
It’s hard to imagine that she has a kid going to this school, even if she does. She just doesn’t seem like the type to settle down and fall in love. She’s serious, strict with her teaching and always making sure that her students follow along.
--
She’s alert and observant, almost never getting caught surprised or unprepared. It’s said she has the eyes of an eagle, never missing anything and never letting it slide.
--
Despite her harsh rules and keen eyes, she’s rather polite. She never brings up anyone’s problems in front of a group of people, and she never lets someone think that they’re below her in worth. Everyone is equal in her eyes, and she is sure to let this be known.
--
Regardless, she can be fun to be around if the group is one that is willing to learn and play mind games instead of anything else. She’s slick with jokes and references, and can be quite the opponent due to the competitive spirit she has. And due to her impeccable polite manners, she’s a good sport too.
Riding Discipline: Horsemanship, Cross Country, Jumping, and Equitation.
Riding Level or Experience: National Cross Country, Advanced Jumper, and Intermediate Dressage(She’s never been one to care too much for the show).
/~/
Likes: Birdwatching, teaching, brain games, horseback riding, reading, and manners.
Dislikes: Disrespect, people disregarding the rules, doing nothing, mindless activities, lazy attitudes, and bad weather.
One major strength: Her knowledge of horse breeds and what most of them are like, that comes in handy a lot since different breeds tend to require different things and treatment. This helps her to connect to students too, at least on a surface level, since she can usually guess what breed their horse is with no problem.
One major weakness: Empathy. Definitely empathy. She can sympathize with people, sure. But she has a hard time putting herself in other people’s shoes and really connecting with people with more than a surface connection that gets work done.
Crush: Well, given that she’s divorced and single… Go ahead and PM me. Man, that’s going to be awkward for Apache though. No matter who it is.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Other: What kind of fruit is this?

|~| Apache |~|
Name: Apache Apus Graves.
Age / Gender: 19/Male.
Role: Student.
Your Horse's Name: Dendritic Grus.
Nationality: Half-American and Half-Turkish.
/~/
Appearance:
Apache stands rather tall at 6’ 0”, though he sometimes seems 5’ 11” due to how relaxed his posture is. His skin tone is an ivory color with warm undertones. He has no freckles that can be seen, except for when they’re in a certain lighting.
--
Apache has a diamond face shape, meaning he has a smaller forehead and a smaller sharp chin, the middle of his face larger, the whole thing on the longer side. Now for the nose, he has a greek shaped nose, meaning it’s basically the way the stereotypical nose would be, only straighter. His lips are downturned thin in shape.
--
His eyebrows are average in thickness, except for his right one which is thinner, both with practically no arch at all. Finally, his eyes are a close set almond shape and are grayish-reddish-brown in color. His face is framed by thick jet black hair that curls in some places, it’s dyed a midnight blue at the tips. It goes down to the nape of their neck at the back, and the sides are cut short to fade into a fringed mohawk.
--
His body structure could quickly be described as rectangular. Everything about his structure screams that he’s more so built for agility than muscle. He weighs in at 140, with his BMI at a healthy 18.99.
--
For clothing, Apache practically always wears a random white shirt, dark gray and blue hoodie, and black pants made for riding. As for shoes, he tends to wear black and dark gray boots made for riding. When it comes to accessories though? He has multiple ear piercings. He has daith piercings for both ears, an industrial piercing at his right, a helix piercing at his left, two lobe piercings for each ear, an orbital piercing at his left, and tragus piercings for both.
Personality:
Apache is not what one would call an extrovert. He loves to read, to be alone in quiet areas, to not have to deal with other people. He’s not shy, nor is he lacking self-confidence. No, he’s simply independent and unresponsive to most attempts to interact with him.
--
He’s not very humorous, never really looking to make a joke. He’s also not exactly what one would call serious though, since he’s always sporting a lazy sort of grin or smirk. His disposition definitely doesn’t say introvert, it simply says that he’s there. It’s open.
--
He isn’t really though, obviously. He’s standoffish, not catching social cues that others easily would. He doesn’t think he needs them. Apache will just fly on out, thank you very much. Despite this, he’s an extremely calm young avian and almost never loses his temper.
--
One thing that isn’t too well known about him though, is just how much he loves riding. Sure, he’s the kid of a pro and enjoying a horse must be natural. But anyone that’s ever met Apache before would’ve guessed that he only rides if need be, instead of the almost daily truth. He’d ride during a beautiful day, book in tow in a bag on his back and find somewhere peaceful to just read. He’d fly during a storm where most wouldn’t, loving how it feels to have the water slip against him. Well, as long as he’s familiar with the terrain and is sure Tic could handle it.
--
He’s a very good rider due to this, in almost any situation he’d be willing to ride. Unless he deems it too risky, or if other people are around that could do it. After all, why do something that’ll put him and Tic at risk when someone else could do it just as well? Of course, if he thinks he could do it better than the people around him then he’ll still do it.
--
He sings beautifully, but mostly just hums when in front of other people. It’s not that he doesn’t think he’s good at singing, it’s just that he doesn’t really like people knowing when he can do something in general. If people know he can do something well, then they’ll expect it from him more. And then it won’t be as freeing for him.
--
As for intelligence? He’s very academically gifted, math and english being where he truly excels. He’s a fast reader and mental math of all kinds has never been a problem for him. Calculations are able to run through his head easily.
--
Of course, he isn’t without his own flaws too. His introverted and independent personality does make things a bit hard. Because while he has plenty of leadership qualities, he’d sooner push away from a group of people than be stuck in a crowd. And his unresponsive nature when it comes to socializing wasn’t simply a phrase, he simply doesn’t respond to people most of the time. He’ll stare at them for at least five seconds before even beginning to say anything.
Riding Discipline: Cross Country/Endurance riding, Jumping, and Competitive trail riding.
Riding Level or Experience: He’s been riding since he was a kid, mostly because both of his parents were huge horse fans and riders so he sort of had to. But he does enjoy it. He’s at least advanced in cross country and jumping, though his dressage could definitely be worked on. What he’s most proud of is his ability in trail races though.
/~/
Likes: Reading, music, horseback riding, horses in general, stars, and gems/stones.
Dislikes: Crowds, people, showing off, group work, socialization/conversation, and swimming.
One major strength: Navigation. This man almost never gets lost, be it night or day! He has a great sense of direction and with as great of observation he is, can usually remember differences in trees enough to know if he’s going in circles if he does get lost.
One major weakness: Socializing/making friends? He’s not good at people, so he’s simply decided he doesn’t need them. He’s got Tic and honestly, she’s all he needs. People are a waste of his time.
Crush: Open, PM me.
Sexuality: Demisexual Biromantic. (Heavy Male Lean).
Other: I don’t know, maybe a grapefruit?

Registered Name: Dendritic Grus.
Barn Name: Tic.
Horse's Breed: Holsteiner.
Age/Gender: 10/Mare.
Height: 17 hands.
Discipline(s): Dendritic is great at practically anything endurance, jumping, and trail riding. She truly excels in trail riding and cross country though.
Appearance: Tic is an athletic holsteiner, the color of her coat being gray. Her mane and tail are both black and white. Her legs all have black socks that tend to disperse as they climb up her legs so that by the time you’re halfway up, the sock is reduced to a dark gray splattering of dots. Which continues all the way to her shoulder, fading as it climbs until it’s completely faded and gone. So honestly, her coat has a bit of dapple in it.
Short Personality: Tic is generally quiet and easy-going. She’s calm and hard-working, performing at her best 100% of the time. She doesn’t mind getting a bit dirty in order to succeed, just like her rider.
