Ateis

Ateis inherited his dapple grey color from his father. His coat is a very light grey, with many smaller dapples across his body. The darkest part of his coat are the legs, which have black streaks. His muzzle is also dark, but it also has a small narrow snip that is a rosy pink color. His mane and tail are reddish brown, and have hints of grey particularly on the right side of his mane. The lower part of his tail is lighter, being a creamy color with a subtle red hue. Ateis' eyes are a very dark brown, and are so dark that they have been thought to be black.

Ateis is an honorable stallion, and has a moral code he stands by. He never attacks first unless he is provoked and insulted to a certain extent, or if a challenge has been given. He does whatever the lead stallion orders him to do, except if he knows it is wrong. Ateis will never kill another stallion unless it is a fight to the death or if the other stallion is a danger to the lives of those he is sworn to protect. Much of his moral code was formed so that he would not follow in the footsteps of his father, who was a ruthless and bloodthirsty stallion. Although he doesn't want to admit it, Ateis has inherited some of his father's fierceness. He keeps it well hidden, but in difficult situations it can leak out.

Ateis is naturally bold, and cannot be easily frightened. This is usually a good thing, but sometimes it can mix with recklessness. Of course, Ateis never goes looking for fights, but that doesn't mean he dislikes fighting. In fact, he enjoys the opportunity to bring forth his strength. Ateis is also very bold in terms of protecting the herd, and he is not afraid to endanger his own personal safety to do so.

One of the reasons why Ateis gained the rank of lieutenant is because of his loyalty to the herd and its hierarchy. Whatever the lead stallion orders, he will carry out. Even in the face of death, he will remain faithful and fulfill his duties. He isn't afraid to lay his life down for the herd, and he understands that his position requires him to protect the herd even unto death. He is also fiercely loyal to the individuals who are closest to him, and would gladly defend them if they happen to need his aid.

Another trait of Ateis is his perseverance. In the face of danger, he doesn't waver. When he is wounded in a fight, he just continues fighting, even if his wounds are severe. He is not one to run away from difficulty, but remains steadfast. If the herd is struggling through hardships, he will attempt to take the brunt of it and lessen the hardships of the others. However, this can border on a certain kind of stubbornness. This border can be especially noticeable when he is injured, since he always tries to toughen up and act like nothing is wrong, even if his wounds are serious.

Lead Mare

Breed:

100% Thoroughbred

Appearance:

Arashi is nothing short of a behemoth for a thoroughbred, standing at a solid 17hh. While her long, slender legs make up most of this mare's height, Arashi also has a great, muscular neck and head which clearly resemble that of a thoroughbred's. Her muzzle is long and has a snow white blaze running down it, which looks good with her bright pink nose while also being prone to getting sunburnt. Arashi's hindquarters and shoulder are packed with muscles, anybody could tell that this mare was bred to run. In her time as a racehorse, she never lost even a single race, being deemed a champion and possibly one of the greatest racehorses of all time. Her build is exceptional and with how muscular she is, Arashi can pack a nasty kick, she is a very capable fighter. However, one of her less appealing traits would be her stamina and endurance. Running long-distance puts great strain on this mare's body and exhausts her. And due to how much energy she wastes since she runs at such high speeds, Arashi can take three steps in a full gallop and already be drenched in sweat with harsh, heavy breathing. This champion racehorse can push herself if she really feels like it, but, she rarely ever does.

Arashi's coat is pitch black, darker than even a starless night sky. Staring at it is comparable to staring into an empty, dark abyss. It's gorgeous and glossy, always have been kept in top condition for when this mare was to run on the track. Her fur also happens to be sleek and short, so in the winter she can get quite cold. Her mane and tail are long, flowing, and come out behind her while she's running or it's windy. They'd be pure black if it weren't for the ends of them, which are a rusty color. Her pelt also isn't pure black, as she's got a white blaze, a pink nose, and four snowy white socks on her legs. This mare's piercing blue eyes which can sometimes seem to stare right through your soul complement her darker color sceme perfectly. She's also got unnessesarily fluffy ears; they're the only part of her that can stay warm during the colder weather.

Arashi suffered an injury while training during the first few years of her career, so, her gaits can be rather weird or seem unnatural. However, that doesn't make her any less fast, and she still has long, somewhat graceful strides. She also tends to stretch her neck out far when she's galloping. Arashi does not have a scratch on her besides an invisible one which lays on her tendon where she had her injury, and marks from abuse which are around her hindquarters. During training, Arashi was severely abused and got several marks from the crop. Of course, her owner was ignortant of this and assumed that there was nothing wrong going on behind the scenes, since his prized racehorse's injuries were always covered up. Oh, how wrong he was.

Personality:

Arashi is the very definition of arrogance. She thinks that she is above everybody else and that she is the best, and she isn't afraid to prove it. She constantly brags about her former career as a champion racehorse and makes it known to everybody that she is better than everyone. She cares greatly about herself and views the world as always in her favor, as she was spoiled rotten in her time as an owned horse. However, she hasn't been given a dose of reality, either, so it's only natural that this mare is a cocky, conceited bitch. Her constant boasting may stop if someone were to just snap her out of her dreamland. The fact that she has never lost a race and is in the leading position of her herd may also contribute to her arrogance, though, it's mostly because her former owner used to pamper her.

Believe it or not, Arashi happens to be a tough, strong horse who oddly enough can seem to tolerate the mistakes that others make. When she was in training to be a racehorse, this mare was severely abused and mistreated, her owner ignorant to what her trainers put her through. Of course, her trainers couldn't get rid of Arashi's severe attitude and tendancy to lash out at people, so they resorted to their abusive ways and methods. And, when that didn't work, they gave up, resulting in a violent, aggressive horse who was only kind towards, you guessed it; her owner. Though, sometimes she made an exception for her jockey. Arashi is rather mild with her own herdmates, but she does not tolerate disrespect from them nor will she allow intruders in her territory, She'll damn well throw herself into a fight if she wants to, serves her opponent right if they get beat up. Well, at least, that's Arashi's mindset.

Arashi is a lead mare for a reason; she's a natural leader. She also happens to be very protective of her herd, she won't let any of the horses that she leads get taken by some damn bachelor. She also enjoys running and happens to be very competitive, since she used to be a racehorse. She won't let anybody think that they're faster than her, and will go out of her way to prove that horse wrong. Besides, she enjoys the fierce competition and the sound of hooves pounding the earth. However, this mare does tend to have a wild imagination that goes astray from reality, which can sometimes cause her to act immature. But, that's rare. Arashi is quite the hypocrite; always hating horses that are arrogant while being the very embodiment of it.

Arashi is good at making decisions and is a very quick-thinking, intelligent horse, although she may not look or act like it. She likes her alone time and won't hesitate to put anybody that annoys her in their place. Arashi happens to be a blunt, straightforward mare, and won't think twice about having a harsh opinion. This thoroughbred mare also happens to be very easy to make friends with.
