Breed: Egyptian Arabian x Andalusian
Height: 16 hands
Pictures: Reference.

Appearance:

• General build:

[/i] While Solis is not nearly as thin and willowy as her Arabian ancestors, she is certainly as graceful and refined as the ancient breed. Solis has a slender nape and a slightly dished skull, heralding to her Arabian ancestors. Her tail is high set, much like her Arabian ancestors, too. Her build is slightly thicker than her willowy ancestors, though is still sinuous and holds a catlike grace all its own. Neither lightweight or heavyweight, Solis is just bulky enough to hold her own and still catch one's eye.
[/li][li]Body, Mane/Tail, & Eye color(s):[/i] Solis's main body color is a deep, royal purple. Her leg and rump markings, of which are flame-like stripes, are a slightly lighter shade of her body color. They are subtle markings, though are still light enough to be brought to one's attention. Her face mask and ears are a tan color, similar to that of a cheetah's coat. Her mane and tail are a honey blonde color. He eyes are a sea foam green; however, her pupils are a darker shade of sea foam green, alluding to a blindness that does not exist.
[/li][li]Special features:[/i] Solis has a horn that spirals from her forehead, much like a unicorn's. Her horn and hooves are white and shine much like a white opal does in the light. Her deep purple coat and markings have a mother-of-pearl like sheen to them. Her honey blonde mane and tail are noticeably thicker than normal and quite curly.[/li][/ul]

Personality: ENTJ based:

• Solis also dislikes sitting idle. She feels compelled to do something with her time, even if it's a small task. She's often on the move because of this, trying to find someplace that she can be put to work at.

Dam: Keket ("Diana Flore"), deceased
Sire: Emil Antonius, deceased
Past Ranks: n/a
Past Herds: None of significance.
History:

• Birth: Solis's mother and father held a high affection for each other, despite the circumstances of their pairing. Solis's mother had crossed the rift on accident one day from Egypt, speaking a language no one could understand when she was found. She was taken as a slave by Emil, the head of the small family herd that found Keket. Emil, not knowing her name, gave her the name of "Diana Flore" to help blend her into his family. Despite not understanding her, Emil held her in high regard despite her low status in his herd. He found her looks simple, but beautiful, for she stood out in contrast to the highly marked mares of his herd. Soon enough she was carrying Emil's child and gave birth to Solis in due time; Emil considered Solis his favorite. This did not sit well with his other mares, considering Solis was the child of a slave. She was only slightly better than her mother, who they considered a waste of life and of no importance.
  
• Youth: Hostilities between the other mares and Solis's mother continued to rise as Solis aged. Emil was not subtle in his favoritism in Solis; there was no doubt in anyone's mind that he was training her to take over his place one day. Though ostracized from the majority of the herd, Solis never lacked affection from her parents. She grew up relatively happily, despite having little contact with others. There were a rare few herd foals who would keep her company, though most did not stay around long when their mothers' discovered what was going on. Despite such, Solis remained rather sociable and kind. When met with venom ad sharp words, Solis remained neutral and apathetic. The strategy didn't work at first, but eventually the aging mares let go of the grudge - at least their grudge on Solis. They never let go of their hatred for Solis's mother.
  
• Adulthood: Eventually hatred led to a bloodbath. Unable to bear the obvious favoritism any longer, a few of Emil's mares conspired together and drove Keket away from the herd early one morning. They drove her until her legs, now weakened with age and fatigue, gave out from underneath her. It was there they beat her to death, despite her pleas in broken English to spare her, if not for Solis than for Emil. The three mares spared no mercy, finishing the deed and slinking back to the herd by the time everyone was stirring. No one was the wiser, except for Emil and Solis. Emil sent out scouts to find her, thinking that perhaps Keket had wandered off and forgotten where she was due to her old age. One scout returned hurriedly, bearing the ill-fated news. Solis was never told what happened to her mother; only given the barest of details and told she had died early that morning. Emil was never the same and swiftly sought justice for the death of Keket. The mares were never heard from again, and everyone assumed the worst. Shortly after this a terrible storm drove the herd to disband to seek safety. Emil ran with Solis, but eventually his heart gave out due to his own age and from grief. Since then, Solis has remained on her own.

♚the physical A S P E C T S
Breed: Aeonian Horse
Height: 16.1 hands
Pictures: Her patch "milky way" markings and diamond spots are similar to this. Concept of her horns: click!

Appearance:

• General build:

[/i] Of average build, Ursa is leggy and willowy. She's not overtly bulky, though does have muscle to her if she needs it. Instead of relying solely on brute strength, Ursa is more agile and nimble. Being agile and graceful allows her to be quick on her feet. Ursa is built for endurance, with her long lean legs and lithe, athletic body. Her head is slightly dished in a subtle manner. Her bright blue, doe-like eyes suggest an innocence that is not really there.
[/li][li]Body, Mane/Tail, & Eye color(s):[/i] Ursa's main body color is a deepest, darkest shade of black possible. It's a shade so dark that looks like ink has been spilled across her coat. There's a subtle metallic blue sheen to it, much like a raven's feathers. Her coat never fades in the sun, despite how weathered she may be. Ursa's mane and tail are thick and a brilliant snow white. Ursa's eyes are also a brilliant shade of crystal blue, standing out in contrast to her dark body. Ursa has tall, jagged white stockings that reach past the gaskins on her back legs, and two front white stockings that reach the knees. Has a half bald face, so that white covers the right side of her face, that has jagged edges and angles down her face at an odd angle, so that her muzzle is partially white as well. Her chin is also white.
[/li][li]Special features:[/i] Ursa's markings are unique all in their own right. Her chest, arm pits, and the insides of her front legs are covered in a grey and grey-blue patches that swirl into themselves, resembling milky ways that can be seen in the sky. These grey and grey-blue patches also cover her back flanks, extending partially up her back and sides. There is a large amounts of spots all over her body, mostly in high concentration around and on top of the lighter patches on her coat. These spots are not spots in actuality; they are diamonds embedded into her skin of varying sizes that, when they catch any light, sparkle like the stars in the sky. These diamonds complete the "milky way" effect the markings on her coats invoke to any passerby. There are horns protruding from Ursa's head that oddly resemble a crown; two horns from each cheek bone, the first horn being smaller than the second. These horns curve slightly upward, towards the center horn that protrudes from her forehead and sweeps gently backward, instead of spiraling out. Her horns appear delicate and more for decoration than for fighting, though one would be surprised when that is not entirely the case. Her horns and hooves are grey-blue, like parts of the patches on her body.[/li][/ul]

Strengths:

• Cunning
  
• Manipulative
  
• Ruthless
  
• Adaptable
  
• Ambitious
  
• Has great strategy abilities
  
• Incredibly intelligent. Genius to some, mad to others
  
• Proficient fighter

Weaknesses:

• Cynical
  
• Possessive; covets things
  
• Slow to trust others
  
• Can show signs of aggression
  
• Lacks a sense of mercy and remorse
  
• Tends to be a perfectionist
  
• Rumored to be mentally unstable; though there are no facts to back this claim
  
• Difficult to become attached to others

Personality: ENTP based:

• She is cynical, much like her deceased father was, and distrusts almost everyone. She is ruthless and is greatly possessive once she has laid "claim" on to something or someone. This possessiveness has given Ursa the tendency to covet things.
  
• She has a temper that remains unmatched; when provoked, she'll fly into a destructive rage until the anger is burned out of her system. These episodes are rare, though are what fuel the rumors about her supposed madness. Normally Ursa can keep a lid on her anger and hide it behind a cool mask of indifference...But every once in a while, a crack is exploited. Ursa is quick to change faces and pretend nothing ever happened, once one of these episodes is over.
  
• She will tear down any opponent in her way, or find other means to achieve her goals. She is not below committing murder to achieve a goal, or using the art of seduction if the situation calls for it. Ursa has a sharp, cunning mind and intellect – of which allows her to stand back and analyze the situation at hand before she finds a solution. Her plans are meticulously planned, and there is always another to serve as a backup if the original plan fails. She is a perfectionist and will settle for nothing less than perfection. Her mind, when combined with her intellect, will serve to be a rather frightening tool if put to use in a war.
  
• Ursa is constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations she is placed in. She is usually extremely quick to size up a situation and understand the situation that is at hand. Ursa sees possibilities everywhere and exploits them to the best of her abilities.
  
• Ursa is, quite surprisingly, rather social and quite the conversationalist. She engages with others on a frequent basis to better her understanding of the world, of other cultures, or to seek means to an end. Or to exploit yet another possibility. Her ambition doesn't know how to turn off. She can be rather companionable if she doesn't find you useless or bothersome. However, she only holds affection and respect for those who earn it or otherwise prove themselves worthy.

♚the H I S T O R Y
Dam: Unknown, deceased
Sire: Titus, deceased
Past Ranks: n/a
Past Herds: Insignificant
History:

• Birth: The beginning of Ursa's life was nothing remarkable, and so was dreadfully dull that Ursa can hardly remember it herself. What she does remember is that her father was her only sole parent; her mother, who remained nameless, died after giving birth to her. Either out of a lack of any feelings for Ursa's mother or to save Ursa from the loss, Titus never indulged the name of her birth mother to her and took it to his grave. Titus was elderly at her birth, well past his prime of parenthood, but did everything within his power to ensure Ursa lived. To ensure Ursa's survival, Titus often took "hostages", or lone mares who had a foal with them or at least dropped a foal recently, to nurse Ursa. On a few occasions Titus would infiltrate small, nomadic bands to find a wet nurse for Ursa until he felt the need to move again. Most mares took pity on the motherless filly, though never gave her the affection a mother would.
  
• Youth: As Ursa grew, her movements over Aeon increased. The constant shuffle of temporary "mothers" left Ursa with no definitive image of even a surrogate mother to remember in her adult life. All Ursa can recall is her father's never ending affection. As she grew, Titus taught her how to fight without relying solely on her strength alone, knowing his own end was near due to age. He taught her how to survive off the land, if she was to remain a rogue for the rest of her life. Titus tried his hardest to teach her how to keep a lid on her temper, though never had a chance to see the ability fully grow.
  
• Adulthood: As Titus' strength finally waned and as his life drew to a close, the roles switched on the duo. Ursa began taking care of her father, rather than the other way around. Ursa often negotiated with the nomadic herds they ran into on their travels, learning how to successfully negotiate agreements and benefits for both herself and her father. This became a common theme for the duo - Ursa negotiating the the head of family for asylum for her dying father, to help ease his pain during his last days. Of course, other things were negotiated at these meetings that Titus remained unaware about. He was never aware of his youthful child's ambitions for the world. The last herd Ursa and Titus were associated with was also their last. Titus fell gravely ill during the last winter. Ursa remained at his side until he passed with the change of the seasons, though did not stay long to mourn. She moved on from his deathbed, determined to finally see the world her father had been shielding her from.
