Name: Zeal
Age: 6 years & 4 months
Gender: Female
Herd/Band:
Coyote Herd
Rank:
Herd Mare
Desired Rank:
Deputy or Lead Mare
Appearance:
Zeal is a rather stocky but heavy mare, standing a little over 15.7 hands. She was built to run long distances, but not at fast speeds. In fact, Zeal is one of the slowest horses in the herd, and is often found running at the back of the herd. When running from danger, the mare would rather turn and face the threat than run.
This mare is buckskin appaloosa - having white along the majority of her body with her front being a buckskin color (from her head, down her chest, and ending in a black at her front legs). Across her white fur is covered in spots of buckskin and black (the buckskin color along her back and the black on her lower legs). On the left side of her face, the white starts early, seemingly cutting her eye in half. Some blotches of white line her snout and lower front legs. Her mane fades from grey to white rather quickly - her tail doing a similar fade, but from white to grey and in a slower manner.
The female’s eyes are of an… odd complection. Her right eye is a dark brown coloration that is often seen as harsh. Her left eye starts as the same brown, but turns icy blue when split by the white. Specks of brown sprinkle into the blue, but do little to change its color. That eye is known to freeze many with a single glance - especially when angry.
Personality:
Motherly || Strict || Argumentative || Sarcastic || Social || Cold || Overprotective
Zeal has a rather motherly complexion, and knows how to take care of foals rather well (though she only tolerates those that are not her own most of the time). But - as with all motherly personas - she can be quite strict. She can be observed monitoring every small detail despite not being of a higher rank. This attitude often causes her to clash with those with a higher status, especially if she does not agree with their way of leadership.
As one could tell, the female is extremely argumentative. She never gives up on an argument, even when proven wrong. If backed into a corner, she will try and twist the words of those against her. But, never will she bring insults into the argument. She finds those who do to be deplorable.
The mare can be social at times, namely when around those who agree with her opinions. She will often gossip about other mares within the herd, making fun of any of their mistakes and dumb decisions. That, or she will discuss whatever they agree upon, expanding her ideas and getting more information on certain topics. She must always be prepared for an argument. However, she can and will make sarcastic remarks during such arguments - especially when twisting words.
Zeal can be quite cold towards many of the herd members. She will go out of her way to avoid those she finds annoying or needy. She may also snap at those she despises if they get too close. Overall, not a very friendly horse.
For those she cares about - namely her foals - the mare is incredibly overprotective. If danger is near or if something bad happens, it may get to the point where she refuses to let them leave her side, nor play with other foals. She will always have her eye on them and be close by incase they need anything. As ‘repercussion’, Zeal will attempt to give them whatever they please, making most of her children a bit spoiled.

Offspring:
-Rain (Adopted)- At first, Zeal did not mind the young filly. After all, she did start to produce milk early, so her nursing helped in the matter. However, as time went on, Zeal started to get agitated with the filly’s demand for milk. She now snaps at the filly whenever she decides that she has had her fill. The motherly care now comes from Shiloh.
