Familiar: Terra
Familiar Personality: Terra is quite the handful. She often follows him through his fields, trying to distract him from his work or climb on his back. At night, her place is snuggled up against his back, and she'll growl threateningly at anyone or anything that tries to take her place.

Personality:


Friendly - kind and pleasant; amable; affectionate
Caring - displaying kindness and concern for others; warm hearted; tender
Gentle - mild in temperament or behavior; kind or tender.
Sensitive -  having or displaying a quick and delicate appreciation of others' feelings.
Oblivious - not aware of or not concerned about what is happening around one.
Overemotional - having feelings that are too easily excited and displayed
Naive - showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgment; natural and unaffected; innocent.

Overall: Toni is a fun loving, gentle stallion, who's life revolves around his plants. He never seems to have trouble making friends. He can be a bit overemotional; he can be seen crying over plants that didn't grow or survive. He is gullible and often easily tricked, and forgives too easily. He avoids violence at all cost, and always has this air of innocence about him.

History:


-What do you want in life?-


It was a hot day mid summer when he drew his first breath. His mother, Catalina, licked him clean as his father, Adrian, stood tall, blocking the sun from the two. In this moment, it was only the three of them in the middle of Sedo. However, it wasn’t long until he was introduced to his many siblings. They crowded around, cooing and nickering to the newborn.

Antonio grew like a weed in the desert. As soon as he could walk, he was tagging along with his parents on their daily gathering trips. In the morning, he’d stick close to their sides, trying to steal the food they collected. In the afternoon, he’d nap in the shade of brush or on the banks of the Niurros river. In the evening, he’d follow them home and play with his siblings.

His siblings had a natural affinity for fighting, unlike himself, and they constantly dragged their baby brother into sparring matches. Too young to understand what was happening, he got knocked over time and time again. Though it hurt, and he got all dirty, he kept a smile on his face. If his siblings were happy, why shouldn’t he be?

It wasn’t until later that he wised up and declined their daily sparring practices. Instead, he turned to watching the newest addition to their family, Damian. The young colt was as black as tar, like his father, and Toni took his job as babysitter very seriously. He often lead the young colt alongside the river, teaching him things he had learned.


-Will you be twice as strong?-


The days of his childhood were quickly coming to an end.  It wasn’t long before he had his Ceremony of the Rising Wind. He was sent off with a few other young horses, but quickly left the group in favor of searching by himself.

He clearly remembers the sun boring down on his back as he heard a faint whining. A slight breeze tickled his long mane as he followed the noise to a small patch of brush. Inside, he found an abandoned Fennec Fox pup. He stared at her in wonder, and the poor thing scrambled over to him, seeking companionship. It was an instant connection that willed him to bring her home with him. Within the week, she had been imbued with higher sentience and had become his familiar.

With his new friend in tow, he set out to make a living for himself. He already knew that fighting wasn’t for him. That narrowed it down to either a planter or a gatherer. He apprenticed under a gatherer for a couple months before leaving to work under an elderly planter. This was where his passion was truly found.


-What will you sacrifice?-


Years passed, and Toni worked happily at his little farm alongside the Niurros River. It was a couple miles north of the main resting places for his family, and 15 miles south of Osulas. He was fine on his own until he noticed his plants drying up. The rains hadn’t come. He watched helplessly as his crops withered at his hooves and the Niurros receded from it’s banks.

This became a trend in the next few months, and it quickly became clear that the entire herd was starving. A letter arrived. The Sultan had chosen him to go on a group mission with some other horses to travel out and seek food. He accepted and set out.

The small group got along well, although they did get lost once. However, the pegasus Verse guided them back to their trail. From their, Alya guided them to a place with resources. It looked like a haven, although it too was dying off. However, their rejoice was short lived as a pack of coyotes attacked. The party valiantly defended themselves, driving the beasts off and collecting their prize.

However, it was not enough.

He was soon called again by Osprey to go on another trip. This time, he’d accompany the Sultan himself...


-What are you waiting on?-

Hey, there! I was wondering, would you be interested in taking on an apprentice? I'm working on a new character and she's going to be a Planter apprentice, so it would be nice to have an existing character be her guide and not have it be an NPC. She is quite the handful, but it should be entertaining, I think.

You don't have to, of course, but I thought it might be cool! Please let me know. :D
