.:: Personal Information ::.

Controlling ||

Amber wants stuff to go her way and has a hard time letting go. She always was kind of spoiled when younger, but with life having tossed her from one situation into an other, it went from merely liking to get what she wanted to something stronger. When situations are taken out of her control, she'll get really stressed out and she'll do everything to get things her way. As a result of this, she has the tendency to be picky, carefully inspecting her surrounding and judging what to make of it. Also 'strange' horses go through this classification. She takes her time to decide who should  be accepted, who avoided and who’s worthy of her attention. Once her decision is made, she rarely comes back on it.  

Spiritual ||

Having been taught about the unicorns and magic from a young age, Amber holds deep respect and a strong believe for everything mystical. Even after leaving her home Island, she never lost that particular connection. She believes unicorn blood runs strong through her veins and therefore she shares a deep connection with magic. She will most likely show interest in any other 'unworldly' thing to and feel like it can be possible that it exists. You may also hear her pray sometimes.

Vain||

Your looks count and nothing is going to convince Amber otherwise. Possessing a sort of natural beauty, she has long since found that looking pretty is both a blessing and a curse, but she has chosen to take as much advantage of it as possible. She likes looking good and will take great care in presenting herself well. She has the tendency to judge others on their outlook as well. She'll take great joy in receiving a compliment on her looks from another mare or young horse. Any comment of the opposite sex however is accepted with much less enthusiasm.

Good-hearted ||

At least her heart is in the good place. It's a comment you could make when meeting Amber. Despite a good number of less pleasant qualities, Amber does mean well towards other horses... she just doesn't go around flaunting that goodness too openly. When she can she will help another horse in need and she will feel guilty when she does not.

Prideful ||

Pride. It has it good sides and it has his bad. As for one, Amber takes pride in herself and what she does. This gives her a sound portion of confidence. Pride is however what got her in trouble in the first place. She thinks nobody holds the right to order her around or look down upon her and she will do things out of pride that might not be the best of choices when you look at it with a clear head. On the other hand, her pride comes with a feeling of honour, two things that sometimes clash.

Reserved ||

Her past is not something Amber will openly share with others. Also other information about herself, like her feelings and personal thoughts, she'll keep rather to herself. Information is shared sparsely and you'll have to make an effort to really get to know her. The only thing she is relatively open about is her opinion on a certain subject, though even then her reasons as of why she feels this way will often remain secret. Her reservedness however will not make her avoid other horses, she has no problems to just let the other do the sharing for them both.

Unromantic ||

Males are something Amber does not hold faith in. Romance she is even less convinced she shall find. As teen and young adult she used to be rather romantic, fantasizing about the 'true one' and the love they'd share. She even thought to have found him at some point and would dream of marriage in all it's old glory with flowers and gifts. Those hopes are long gone however and after her time in Bachelor herd, she deems her old fantasies as nothing more than young naivety. Stallions have but one thing in mind when wanting to get a know a mare and it's got nothing to do with romance. She'll always feel suspicious around them, doubting their every move and intentions.

.:: History ::.

As a Foal||

Amber was born in Olde of her mother Allissia, a follower, and her father, Edward, a knight. She was their first child and they gave her everything she wanted. From young age she was taught religiously about unicorns and their herds history, the legacy of those unicorns they were. The filly loved listening to the many stories and as she grew, one of her dreams was to see one of those magical creatures. Time passed by and Amber gained a sister, Lilliana. Age six by now, gaining a sister was quite the change for Amberley. She was no longer the only child and the young charge took quite some of her parent's attention away from her. It took a while to adapt to this, but eventually she got used to it, considering her little sister precious. It probably helped the younger foal looked up to her. As she grew older, Amber became more and more interested in the unicorns and their magic, becoming a dedicated follower of their belief even at young age. It was therefore a great joy that when the age of 13 passed by that she was chosen to become a mage rook. Her parents where proud and the only set back probably was that it was not healer, but defender mage she would be training for.  

Teenager ||

Amber slowly, but surely developed from a young child into a pretty teen with much confidence. The prestige of mage status called to her, giving her a certain conceitedness sometimes as she started to believe unicorn blood ran strong through her veins to have such affinity for magic. Not much happened at this point. She studied and worked hard, hoping to become the best mage known in a long time. When she was almost of age, her sister Lilliana was also accepted into rook ranking, be it healer mage. Amber was a bit stung by this as she had preferred this ranking above the one she was training for, but let it slide as she knew Helena had only wanted to become just like her big sister, which probably why she showed qualities fit for the rank.

Young Adult ||

The real problems started when Amber matured into a young lady. By the time she had one year before she came of age, she had not yet received her gift and with other horses starting to excel her in the strength department, it was starting to be clear that her qualities were starting to be doubted. Where other horses seemed to have reached full development, Amber seemed to be younger still and her body less strong. During this time she found love, a stallion she was convinced she would be married to. Their relationship was far from perfect however and was bound to break. Time went on and her sister, clearly talented and with a sweeter personality then herself, was doing much better than herself. With her fairy tale love long lost and envy starting to make itself known over the praise her sister received, Amber was starting to get fed up. Over time she had also started noticing how lower ranks, like her mother were treated and it frustrated her. Traditions of bowing heads became more and more difficult to follow. After all, what made their leaders worth more than them? Why did she need to bow her head when clearly she stood close to the fabled unicorns as well? The last straw came when mere months before becoming a full mage, she was approached by one of her higher ups, telling her she would be let go from the training program. Amber was devastated and angry. Who decided this? She could not imagine herself becoming nothing more than a mere follower, the lowest among lowest in their ranks. Her mother and sister tried to appease her, but it was no use. Her mother always having been a follower did not know better, her sister she didn't listen to at all, only yelled at her because somehow she felt it was unjust that she would become what Amber herself couldn't get. In a fit of rage that only the young and wild are capable off, she did the unthinkable: she crossed the land bridge, running away from their island and herd.

Mind set on getting away of it all, going to somewhere where she would be appreciated, she of course did not think through this plan. With no knowledge of the other herds or where to go, she soon was lost. It did a couple of months before she encountered her first horse on new land and having it had difficult surviving with so little knowledge, she was quick to approach. Stallions, in her mind noble and helpful like the knights of Olde, were sure to lend her their help. And so foolishly she ran straight into the scavengers of Bachelor herd.

The thing that cost her her rank in Olde, her young looks and weaker appearance, spared her for the first few months in Bachelor herd. The scavengers deemed her to be younger than 17 and when asked, she was so overwhelmed by fear that when asked she could do nothing more and agree. It gave her almost a year to adapt - as far that is possible - though even as youngling she never wanted to stay. Her '17th year ceremony' was not much of a cause for celebration for the now 19 year old Amber. The pretty mare who belatedly started filling out and reaching full adult proportions, caught attention of the males of the herd, much to Amber's disgust. There was little she could do however and mere months later during the warmer months of Spring she found herself pregnant. Though not much else could have been expected, Amber was devastated as the foal was conceived out of wedlock. She loathed the father and loathed unborn foal as according as she always had been thought it was a disgrace. Her conviction to get away became stronger than before and it came about 11 months later, when she was close to giving birth, in the form of a Loner messenger called Magdalene. Heavenly pregnant now, the stallions had little interest in her and she managed to sneak off without a male to be around. It was how she ran into the messenger who had come to deliver a message close by. Knowing she'd need help and having heard more than one story of the Loners that roamed the Islands, delivering messages from horse to horse, she reached out. She wanted herself 'delivered' outside reach of the Bachelor herd. The mare agreed. Sadly the escape took it's toll and stress caused Amber to deliver her foal before it was time. Needing to carry on and having condemned the even before birth, she decides to leave it behind. It was a disgrace she never asked for and born prematurely in this world she was sure it would have died anyway. They got away safely, Magdalene knowing which paths to take and recovering from her pregnancy and labor, Amber starts her new live as a lone horse.

Adult ||

Much time has past since and Amber has developed into a full adult in both body and mind. She has decided to stay a Loner as it is something she can find herself in. There is nobody she needs to bow her head to or who tells her what to do and ranks are not awfully defined. She followed into Magdalene's footsteps, becoming a messenger herself. It was not exactly her calling, but she just knew of nothing else to do. Slowly, but she surely she learned to take care of herself and grew content with her life without a herd. These were different horses with different opinions and the longer she stayed, the more her views on life changed. Olde morals seemed as narrow-minded as their ranks and she became to regret some choices she made because of them amongst them the foal she left for dead.

The calling of the witch came and Amber, intrigued came. Her fascination with all thing mystical never having faded unlike other beliefs, she followed the witch when she offered her prophecy and a way to escape war. So it came to be that Amber was on the Crescent when the wall came down.

Feel free to suggest your horse as family (or if you wanna you can try-out as one of her NPC family members too)!
Remember she has Andalusian x Mustang genes, so any aunts/nieces/nephews/... need to be related to that.
Also relationships in her former herds are more then welcome! Especially the father of the foal

[-| Olde herd |-]

Edward - father || || Knight || NPC

Once a much loved horse, now subject of Amber's doubt. On one hand she holds respect for him choosing her mother, a mare of lowest class. On the other hand she suspects it was only her mother's looks that made him want her as he is just another stallion.

Allisia - mother || || Follower || NPC

She never had squabble with her mother and she loves the mare for the care she has given her. She however thinks her mother is dumb for putting up with how she's treated. She could be so much more after all.

Lilliana - younger sister || || Presumably healer mage || NPC

One of her larger regrets is having left, being so mean to her sister. The younger female had always looked up to her after all and had never meant any harm. She wishes to apologize, but has never dared going back, fearing execution for haven crossed the land bridge.

Vasska || || King's son || Elesette

The king's son and thus future leader of Olde. She dislikes him for he is part of the royal family, tirans of the herd. She has received word from other Loner's of Valentine's passing, making Vasska king. She pities them who he now rules over.

[-| Loners |-]

Magdalene || || Messenger || Queerly  

Having been her ticket out of Bachelor herd, Amber holds respect for this mare. She will never forget what she did for her.

X - Foal || || Presumed dead || NPC

One of her bigger regrets. She has learned that wedlock is no perquisite for having a foal and while this foal was forced upon her she regrets leaving it to die.

Taken from KrosFox

Mao rubbed his snout with his front paw. This was difficult. He wished he was a better teacher. "What... -uhm- what it feels like is entirely up to you. You are your own energy. It matches your being, emotions and so on. It's in motion and it can change entirely in time. It might feel different in different circumstances, but it is and always will be yours. So I cannot define how it is supposed to feel for you. However, you are still trying to concentrate on different parts of you. It does not work that way." Mao frowned slightly. How did you explain something, you didn't fully understand yourself?

"Try not to puzzle different aspects of yourself together. There will always be pieces missing. They are unseen by yourself or just not discovered yet, therefore trying to piece things together will not work."
 
 Mao padded closer again, eying his sitting 'student' . "Now let's try it this way: close your eyes again and I want you to just feel. Try not to think. Just be calm and reach out. Don't panic and if you still don't get it just say it. I'll figure out another way." He smiled softly. It was strange to teach another aeniama, while he was still so young and inexperienced himself. He was acting and speaking in a way so unlike him. It was unsettling, but also thrilling.
 
 "You do remind me of Domino a little. I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Now, can you follow what I'm saying?"
