Noche is an elegant creature, and aptly named. Her sleek pelt is pitch black, as is the rest of her body; the only exception is the tiniest star on her forehead. Her mane and tail, both medium in length, match the void of her pelt. Even her eyes are deep, liquid pools of night.
Noche has smooth, proportionate features. She stands just under 16 hands and has firm muscling, but she is not noticeably ripped. Her legs are sturdy and strong, as is the rest of her, and she holds a certain elegance to her appearance. A curved neck holds up a refined head with somewhat long ears.
Despite her more average size, she often appears larger than she is: her coat seems to suck the light out of everything, and she has a calm, sure demeanor that demands at least a little respect. Bluebird. Her more sober appearance also adds to the effect of a wiser mare older than she is.
Personality
While she may appear wise, Noche is still young and inexperienced, and she owns it. Her wisdom comes from following her elders, obeying commands, and observing outcomes of different situations. Her forte is watching with a calm, collected demeanor. She does not rise up in emotion as easily as other young horses, and she can hold her own in a battle of wits.
Noche always dons a smooth expression, any emotion displaying in her eyes. Even then, her emotes are mild. Faint displeasure, for example, or a note of pride. It is extremely difficult to get a raise out of her, as she is quite good at deflecting comments or actions that she finds antagonizing.
Despite this more languid base, she is not one to be run over. Her strength is a quiet one but it is there. Noche is the silent bearer of burdens, always ready to help another horse through a hard time, and she will fight to the death to protect those she cares about. She is loyal to her herd, though she may not always agree with decisions made, and she sticks to the rules.
She does have an adventurous side to her as well, though it only really comes out around foals, who hold the dearest place in her heart. They are her favorite members of the herd, and she is always willing to play with them.

Affiliations
Ouray: Noche reveres her father. Ever since she was a filly, Ouray has been the stallion she looked up to the most. She always strived to emulate him. Ouray is the one she will talk to about handsome horses or anything of that nature. She's afraid her mother would gossip (because that's what mothers do).
Nisaba: Noche loves her mother. Nisaba is one of the few horses from whom Noche will take (and act on) advice from, and she both admires and fears the quieter mare. Her observance is a trait inherited from the lovely bay.
Chex: >:3 Uncle Chex is the stallion that brings out the "last two braincells" in Noche. She trusts him as much as she trusts either of her parents, and any children of his will get her full loyalty as well.
Taonouri: Noche would die for her half-sister. She was there for the foal days and she intends to be a constant in her sister's life until death do they part. A difference in dams doesn't matter to Noche; Tao is her sibling and that is that.
