Name: Dahlia
Sex: mare
A1: Trillium, Calla lily, Tulip, Ivy(Boston possibly) and Tiger lily
A2: One in her tobiano, one upside down in the stripping, and the little on on her fetlock
A3: Ivy, I think
A4: An english garden

Personality: Dahlia is very standoffish, stubborn mare, and finds it very hard to let others in. She desires to be part of a loving herd that accepts her and doesnt think anyone will be able to handle her hard headedness. She can let her temper build but she usually gets angry for the sake of others. Once Dahlia lets one in she trusts with everything and if you betray her she can, and will, hold a grudge for quite a while.

Short Story:
uh uh uh Breathing heavy, legs trembling with exhaustion, Dahlia had escaped.

At only her first year being an adult member of the herd, the lead had been over taken by a rogue stallion and he had his eyes set on her.
He had tried to persuade her, he tried bribes, he tried advantage, but Dahlia was stubborn. She wanted to belong and be loved, but all he saw was property and status. None of his tactics worked on the young mare, until one day he decided he couldnt wait any longer and he tried force. She knew she needed to leave, to get away, but her magic had not been fully tested. She could only "fire jump" a little distance at a time on only a few times in a row, so she had to run.

Dahlia ran. She ran for what felt like the rest of her youth, but was really over night and most of the following day. She had run the desert flats she was born on and from the herd she knew. She had come to the dry foothills of a large mountain range. She knew he would not follow her this far, he wouldnt let the rest of the herd out of his sight. She didnt mean that much to him. So she stopped, breathing heavy, legs trembling with exhaustion, Dahlia had escaped.

The sun still barely shown over the range, she decided she would continue on, up and over the mountains where she knew she would be safe and never see her herd or that stallion again. She climbed, up and over the hills and then "fire jumped" to the next flat spot on the mountain. From there, just in the light of the setting sun, she could see below a beautiful river flowing clean and clear. She was thristy from her journey and her poor flowers wilted with the sun. As she came down the mountain, she looked up at them in thanks for the protection and the peace to be away. Just as doon as the thought of being alone crossed her mind, Dahlia realized she was being watched.

Dahlia entered through the scattered trees that was the southern edge of the forest and made her way to the river. It glowed amber in the moonlight and almost seemed to speak to her as it babled along.
Rustling behind her spooked her and she "fire jumped" to the other side of the stream and started running.

"Wait!" And deep calm voice called, "I did not mean to startle you!"
Dahlia came to a halt and peered from around the trees she put between her and this new stallion. She didnt know she had stopped, but something asked her to and called to her.

"My name is Ox, and there is another, Mel, we have made our home here. Are you okay?" Ox called, noticing that the little mare flamed away and ran just concerned the large stallion of what trouble may be following. But with no response, he tried again. "I see you know how to Fireburst, but from the looks of the distance you must have travelled far and be exhausted. Would you like to rest near us? We have a protected area in the forest an.."
"I dont need your help, concern, or protection!" Dahlia practically screamed at him from behind the tree. "Just leave.." her voice sounded less scared and childish this time, and more commanding.

Wide eyed, Ox just stood there, not sure why he was being yelled at by a stranger, but knew somehow not to push her away. "Uhh... ok. We will leave." He turned to leave but was still worried, "just..stay by the river.. she'll protect you." He nudged Mel to move his feet as the fluffy behemoth was just as stunned as Ox, and they left the little mare and her flowers to the Emberline.

As they left, Dahlia looked around to ensure she was alone. She straightened her self out and walked back to the river. 'She'll protect you' she thought of the large stallion's words. "How intriguing, why would a stallion as large as him just do as I ask? And why would he think a little river will protect me" She thought of the rogue she just escaped and how this new stallion, Ox, was bigger yet did not take advantage that she was a tiny mare alone in his forest. But yet, he expected this tiny river to do anything? She laid next to the river and thought, maybe he was different. Maybe he believed in more than physical strength and status.. and maybe, just maybe she will have to stick around to see what this "Ox" is truly about.

Name: Kore
Sex: Mare
A1: Peace Lilies (my fav), Ivy, Tulips, Asiatic Lilies, and Trillium?
A2: There's one on her hind right fetlock, one on her shoulder where the two coat colours come together, and there's an upside down one in her striping pattern on her shoulder.
A3: I see a lot of lily types, I'm going with the Asiatic Lilies.
A4: Maybe based on Persephone?
Personality: 
Kore is a sweet, and shy mare. Telling people how she really feels sometimes is a struggle. But shows her affection and thanks with flowers she leaves behind. She is also pretty darn clumsy, she's young, but definitely not a foal. With so much on her mind at any given moment she may miss that branch coming towards her and walk.right into it. And sometimes when she gets spooked like that she may accidentally use her power, which scares her.more so she's just a small quivering mess that Ferris comes to comfort. Speaking of Ferris thos young mare is clueless when it comes to being shown love. She either thinks someone is being super sweet, or if she does realise it, she becomes awkward and shuts down. It'll take a lot of love and patience with this one, but she's worth it.

Short Story:

The large mare sat alone by the bank enjoying the small spring breezes the whizzed by. Ferris walked up behind her and looked over her softly.

"How are you Kore? With everything?" The mare whipped her head around showing tears that had streamed down the sides of her face. "Oh no." He hurried over to her and nuzzled her softly.

"I don't know what I did wrong..."She wrought in between sobs.

"Kore you did nothing wrong."

"Then why do they hate me!?" Ferris bowed his head slightly. The altercation between her and the visiting herd made Kore hide and cry alone. 

"Advara was sure to chew them out once you ran off but it's not your fault. That old stallion had a stick up his rear." The mare nodded as tears began to stop falling. She leaned against Ferris for support and comfort as the Stallion blushed a little.

"That foal was really happy to have someone to play with. And she really loved the flowers in your hair." He smiled and she laughed a bit. "They're beautiful like you." He whispered.

"What was that?" She asked in confusion.

"Nothing, I said they're beautiful, the flowers! The flowers I mean. A-and you're beautiful too! Not just the flowers." Kore laughed at his clumsiness and nuzzled him a bit.

"Thank you Ferris. You're wonderful. You're the best friend a girl could have." The words stung the stallion as his attempts seemed to be in vain, like always.

"Of course Kore, I'll always be there for you when you need me." She sighed happily and closes her eyes and lowered her head below his. Ferris still refuses to give up on her, not just yet.

"I'm sorry I lost control back there." She said so quietly he almost missed it. "I could've hurt the young one. I-I, I just panicked when the other foal grabbed at one of the vines." He tried shushing her gently but tears were falling yet again. "The ivy and plants overgrew and....the fire....it could've killed them!"

"Kor-"

"I could've killed them! I would've- No I could've burned their foals. I could've started a war! Ferris I..." She sobbed heavily.

"Kore, you just need to.be careful, you're still young and you're anxiety can't get the best of you. If you want, I could help you?"

"Really? You would? Oh Ferris that would be so kind of you to...I don't know what to say..."

"So yes then?" The mare smiled and nuzzled against him warmly. He felt extremely happy as they watched the sunset together. After some time, the night sky began to appear. The twinkling stars reminded him of her eyes.

"Kore....I lov-" He stopped noticing the young mare asleep,  a little bit of drool came out and he laughed as he kept her close. "I love you." He sighed and closed his eyes falling into a deep sleep.

"I love you too." She whispered meekly.

Long time no see, but I had to try out for this beauty! 

Name: Venus

Sex:  Female

A1: Tulips. Daylilies (hope this is what everyone else calls them, it's all I've ever known to call them around where I'm from XD) Calla lily. And the leaves look like ivy.

A2: One on the right hind fetlock. One upside down in the stripe pattern on the left front shoulder. And one above that in the tobiano pattern at the base of the neck. 

A3: Calla Lily?

A4: Valentine's flower arrangements?

Personality: Confident. Flirtatious. Passionate/hot-headed. Sensitive. 

Short Story:
Atlas couldn't keep away from her forever. Normally, Venus had no issue catching a stallion's attention. Taz had certainly made his interest in her known right from the start. Where was the fun in that though? No chase? Venus wasn't interested unless there was a challenge involved. She'd had her chance with too many eager males, simply hoping to win her for her beauty. No, she'd decided. She would be the one calling the shots. Most of the time that meant if she took a particular interest in someone, they were easy enough for her to catch in her web. But not this time. Despite looking like the sort that normally proved to be more brawn than brain, Atlas was quite the opposite. After just one encounter Venus knew he was different. She'd had her eye on him since first encountering the Sovereign herd. Unfortunately, it didn't seem her feelings were returned. 

As she approached, Atlas remained stoic, watching the open plains for any sign of danger. He was often on watch like this, spending his time alone and quiet. It was the perfect opportunity for Venus to seek his attention. No one was around to interrupt. 

"Hello there," she called, her tone light and friendly.

He snorted in reply. 

"Ahem," she cleared her throat. He'd heard her, she was sure. And she didn't like being ignored. 

After a pause, Atlas turned slowly to face her. He raised a brow in question, looking almost... annoyed...

"I noticed you looking so lonely up here by yourself, so I thought I could offer you some company." She offered her most brilliant smile. But it was not returned. 

Atlas turned away dismissively, as if to say he was not interested. As if! 

Another moment of awkward silence left Venus feeling embarrassed. What had she been thinking!? That embarrassment quickly turned to anger. She needed to get out of this situation fast. In a flash of hot red flame she disappeared. Sadly it was too quick for her to see the faint smile on the Baron's muzzle.
