Olma
Age:
5 yrs
Gender:
Mare
Herd:
None; former member of Plains until she left over a year ago
Rank:
Loner
Desired rank:
Unsure, her only focus is her family for now
Appearance:
Olma is a Norwegian Fjord horse with a brunblakk coat; her fur a sandy color, darkening into a more reddish hue by her head, neck, and leg joints. Her undercoat is pale, an off-white in coloration. This white is seen on her snout, chest, belly, and legs. Her nose is tipped in a charcoal color, and her forelegs joints have a chocolatey color to them that fades out to red then cream. She has the iconic charcoal dorsal stripe, as well as ears that are also tipped in charcoal. She can best be compared to the noble takhi with this coat and appearance.
The mare has a long mane, a creamy white in coloration with a more charcoal coloration to the center line of the hair the breed is most renounced for. Her tail is also long, starting off as a creamy white and ending in charcoal. Her hooves are a mute greyish brown color, and has minimal feathering in the back that is the same off-white color as her undercoat. Her eyes are a dark brown, appearing black from afar but when the light hits them just right they have an ethereal glow to them like any other.
Olma stands at a solid 14 HH tall (4'8" by the shoulders), and weighs a hefty 1.100 lbs. While she is a small breed, she is a draught horse and is very strong. On the mention of draught, she is from a light draught breed and so is not only strong but bred to be agile. Her kind was made for the mountainous regions of Norway, which helps a lot when it comes to any kind of rugged terrain she may come across in her habitat. She has some nicks and marks on her body, typical injuries one expects to receive from predators or other horses. On her left side below her wither is a complete bite mark, though old, that Olma received from a predator. On her right almost halfway down her back near her spine are two nicks she received from a lone stallion who attempted to make advances towards her and she turned down (she kicked ass don't worry). She has another few scattered nicks on her flank she also received from horse fights.
Personality:
Ah, Olma, a strong hearted and minded mare. Olma has nothing more than her foal's best interests in her mind. She cares deeply for Gyllir, and will do anything and everything to keep him safe and out of harms way- and she has the scars to prove it. She tends to be lenient with Gyllir, however will make sure her "house" rules are understood and that he is always within 10 feet of her. The protective mother instinct is strong in her, though so is the nurturing kind. Olma is gentle with her foal, making sure to explain things to him rather than getting angry and huffing and puffing about it. She follows gentle parenting, and always gives him attention when he asks for it. She likes his rambling, though sometimes she can't always keep up with his bursts of energy since she gets tired after a while. She doesn't sleep much since she needs to watch over him, and make sure her baby is safe above all else. The downside of being a lone mare and single mother.
Olma is wary of stallions, especially at this time, and will make sure they remain at least 50 feet away from her and her foal at all times. The further the better. She won't hesitate to buck, bite, or stomp another horse if it means defending her family. She might be small, but she has resilience and will make sure her patience is not tested.
Outside of her protective nature and her hostility towards stallions, Olma can be a pleasure to be around. She isn't very talkative, the opposite of her foal, he takes from his father it seems, so she tends to make a better listener. This doesn't mean she won't hold conversation, Olma will happily do so when it comes to that, she just isn't one to always initiate. She's headstrong with her opinions, hard to sway unless you have good reason. Because of this she is labeled as stubborn, and usually in a negative light. Yeah, she is, but that's how she is. She's also blunt, not a fan of sugarcoating unless it's for the sake of the youth. This is often taken as rude, but she has no intention to be rude most of the time when she is being blunt. She just prefers to lay it all out, no fluff or funny business attached.
When it comes to attachments, Olma can grow fairly attached to others. But this only happens if she trusts the other horse. Trust is important to Olma, and if you break her trust you won't be able to earn it back as easily as you did before- and that's saying something because it's already hard earning it as is without making it harder on yourself. When I say this mare gets attached, I don't mean she becomes helpless and reliant. Not at all. Olma is independent, has been for months now, but with independence comes loneliness. Company is something she would like, more than just her foal. For Olma it's hard to find a horse who will keep her trust, so if she finds one she gets attached and wants them around. Her former mate was like that, however he passed months ago and she's yearned for him or at the very least someone, doesn't matter who, that can be like him. Someone to keep her company. Someone to be good friend with her baby Gyllir.

-------
Gyllir
Age:
3 months old
Gender:
Colt
Herd:
None
Rank:
None
Desired rank:
None, just wants his mom and maybe some friends. Too little to want more
Appearance:
Gyllir is a gulblakk Fjord, being a pale off-white coloration that darkens to a creamy greyish-gold champagne at his neck, head, and legs. Much like his mom he has a pale off-white on his snout, his nose tipped in a faded charcoal. His mane is a frosty white, containing faded charcoal roots. His mane is very short, and sticks upright until it starts to grow in. His tail is the same frosty white, also tipped in faded charcoal. Much like his mane, it too is fairly short and doesn't reach past his knee. The hair itself is soft, sticks out, and looks frizzy at times, giving him a cartoonish or toy-like look. His hooves are a greyish-brown much like his mom's, and have yet to grow any feathering.
Like all foals, Gyllir has a bit of a dish that he's growing into and has gangly legs that he still occasionally stumbles around with. His eyes are big, a similar dark brown to his mom that too look black from afar. They hold a world full of curiosity in them, always big, opened wide, ready to take in the world around him. He's about half his mom's height by the withers, so around 7 HH tall, and is a decent 150 as of now.
Personality:
Gyllir is a silly colt, full of life and curiosity. He's incredibly friendly, however often gets overwhelmed and nervous when he experiences too much stimuli and shies away behind the safety of his mother. When he overcomes these intense emotions, he is hard to keep still. He just has to trot around, canter, and sometimes gallop with glee. It's even hard to keep him quiet, the foal nickering on about whatever crosses his mind. He changes topics as quickly as he introduces them, generally being a confusing mess at times when he does ramble on. Though, Gyllir doesn't have any current friends to ramble to so he settles for his mom.
For a foal of his age, this little guy doesn't seem to hold any ambitions that herd born foals may have. He doesn't know of the herd, of hierarchal systems, or anything of the sort. He is, in a way, free from any societal topics. His only concern is hanging with his mom, exploring, and wanting to make new friends. It's all simple, and quite problem-free, though he does get lonely at times. Sometimes he wonders why there aren't other horses around, but the thought can only last so long before it gets replaced with something else.
Sometimes Gyllir has what Olma refers to as "blanks," short periods of time where he stops whatever he's doing and is still and quiet. It's like a glitch, or a pause, and after a few seconds he is back at it again. In people terms, he is the horse equivalent of an orange cat. Orange cat behavior, except its gulblakk fjord behavior. He's just silly, that's all.
