Start: Now End Date: 5pm EST | Tuesday, March 24th The Flock is a fairly large civilization in the land of Kawani, and we're continuing to change the population from NPC's to Player Characters.
This herd helper is giving away SIX Mares! Only requirement is they are for The Flock and not immediately swept away to a different herd. They can be almost anything within the flock: They can be Sacred Daughters, they can be dancers, they can be hunters, warriors, seers, stallions, Cursedhunts, born before the cataclysm that the ancestral lands are still recovering from or just recently, etc. The default is them being unrelated to each other, but you can plot with other winners to make them cousins/siblings/mother and child. It's up to you.
Do not enter if you have already purchased or have had a staffer purchase a member of this herd helper for you already.
Being a Herd Helper, these do NOT have to be related to each other -- if you want them related to one another one, you must plot it out with the owner of the other one after winning.
This is a herd helper for The Flock, so your characters MUST stay in The Flock. Whether or not they were born to The Flock, heard about it and Joined, or wandered too close and got taken in for their own protection is up to you! If you don't wish to be a part of the Flock, this contest may not be the place for you.
I will be raffling these off! However, I still would like to know a bit of what you have planned for them. :3 However, you are free to remove what you don't want to use from it.
Other staffers are welcome to roll and purchase other winners, or even CC individuals. If they they pick by their favorite character concept or roll, it'll still be a freebie, but if they are just purchasing cause they like you or like the colors, you'll have to take a custom cooldown for it.
Please keep personality blurbs to a short paragraph. Try to keep under 300 words.
You are welcome to Edit your Character personality and color palette till the end, but PLEASE keep your preferences the same once edited, or state you are reposting and from what page your original post was if you're to change your preferences.

Short Blurb on Character personality: This mare will feel like she was born with a sense of rhythm in her claws. She just can't keep still. Whether it's idle claws tapping out a beat that runs through her head to full-out spontaneous movement - she feels the need to dance. Dance is just one form of artistic expression that she wants to excel at. Although her desire is strong - missteps can and will occur. She may possess a natural gift of fluidic motion but inexperience, a penchant to forget even the simplest dance patterns, and a short fuse may cause issues that'll have to be ironed out before she can excel.
Pony Name: Gojiti Shíshǐ Slavic 'gojiti' meaning "grow, heal, foster, nurture" Chinese 实 (shí) meaning "real, honest" Chinese 史 (shǐ) meaning "history"
Pony Gender (optional): NB Sexual Orientation (optional): Demisexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: + Trusting, Open-minded, Timid, Honest - Naive, Impressionable, Standoffish, Tactless
She loves animals and treats them with respect. Over time she may attract a group of permanent non-familiar/unbonded furry friends.
She loves books and libraries. To her, "Books are precious witness to history and culture." Over time she will travel alone as a recordskeeper of all the cultures she encounters. She prefers not to participate, only to watch and record. Over the course of her lifetime, she might become a scribe, storyteller, librarian, or Teacher of history.
Poetry is going to be her signature talent. Secretly she makes poetry of the best of what she records. This poetry goes into a super secret poetry book that over time will become a lyrical history that can be performed, and likewise taught. In addition to the above, she may make a good lyricist for music, performances, storytelling, etc. provided someone finds the book "accidentally." She's rather guileless so it would be easy enough to do.
Pony Gender: Cis female Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: Nicknamed "Itzy," Itzpapalotl is a ditsy mare. Though quite intelligent, she wholeheartedly lacks common sense, and has no filter on the words that come out of her mouth. She often finds herself in sticky situations, for she is honest to a fault.
Pony Gender (optional): If 1, 4, 5 Female if 2, 3, 4 CC Sexual Orientation (optional): Pansexual
Short Blurb on Character personality: Dita was always a shy Mare, even since she was a Filly. She felt solace in flowers and the simpler things, caring and tending to plants of all natures. Being soft spoken, as she grew she kept her demeanor and showed respect to those around her, rarely is ever raising her voice. She often love listening to tales of old, stories from afar and the laughter of those around her. Just happy to be alive. With every Rose though they always carry their thorns. It takes a lot to push her to the edge and once pushed, she does lash out. Mostly with words, and extremely rare if with claw. She prefers trying to work things out more peaceful after all. When she's not spending time or keeping others company, she tends to the plant life, doing her best to keep the territory as flourished as possible for all to enjoy, be it for food, aroma, rest, or to just enjoy the beauty of their surroundings.
Pony Gender (optional): Female Sexual Orientation (optional): Undecided, likely straight-leaning Short Blurb on Character personality: Haseya is a young female who seems much wiser than her years. She's experienced the bitter loss in life of her children, and there's an ever present tinge of sadness to her that can be glimpsed in her quieter moments. Through and through, she is a motherly figure who cares deeply for those under her wing, but be warned. Her kindness should not be mistaken for weakness, and underneath her gentle wisdom lies a fierce and powerful anger that will raze those who betray her trust or endanger those she loves. She is a mild, modest creature, happiest when her friends and family are happy. Though she is quick to forgive slights, she will never forget those who betray others, and that is when this mellow, down-to-earth mare will openly snub someone.
Pony Gender (optional): Nonbinary. Sexual Orientation (optional): Complicated, but definitely not straight.
Short Blurb on Character personality: Stately, stoic, and seemingly always composed, Kairua possesses a sharp wit and a sharper mind. They are adaptable and respond well to pressure, making them an excellent negotiator and diplomat, but can fail to acknowledge the feelings of others in their pursuit of the greater good. The needs of the many often outweigh those of the few, and Kairua isn't particularly inclined to delay their efforts or minimize their impact to make others comfortable. As a result, when it comes to personal matters, they're often thought of as brusque or abrasive, although their heart is usually in the right place.
Pony Gender (optional): Female Sexual Orientation (optional): Undecided
Short Blurb on Character personality: Yui spent her foalhood finding her place in the flock. She's a decent dancer, can fight well enough to survive, and is generally fairly well rounded. But her true place is with the Artisans. Yui loves the textures of spun yarn, the process of finding the right plants to dye it beautiful colors, and the process of weaving it into fabrics for blankets or tapestries. Most days you can find her spinning fibers, with the dye tanks, or at a loom. She's happy just creating, not for any specific need, but to see where the art of the process takes her.
When it comes to spending time with others, Yui is a little shy, but calm and centered, sure in herself if not terribly outgoing. So far she's been content creating her art and hasn't felt a drive to create life, but she knows it's a duty she'll have to take up eventually. She's not opposed to the idea, just doesn't feel a driving need to pair up with anyone, male or female. Though she has several dear friends of both genders and familiars in the Artisan's Guild.
Pony Name: Undecided :'D (I'll have a name when/if I win!)
Pony Gender (optional): Non-Binary (She/Her or They/Them) Sexual Orientation (optional): Grey-Asexual Gyneromantic
Short Blurb on Character personality: A collector of artifacts, they buy relics, rarities, and things inbetween, barters for them, puts them on display. They don't usually ask questions about where they came from, either, cuz in the end they're safe with them, and able to be enjoyed by others once they're cleaned and put up for display. In their eyes, the flock (and, of course, those outside of it) could always learn from the past to better the future.
With an insistence to always have an alcoholic drink nearby, they tend to throw excellent parties for anything and everything that MIGHT require some sort of celebration. Be it a birth, a coming-of-age, a 'I found my favorite earring'....if someone wants to celebrate it, they will come up with a great celebration party for it!
...They also are hopeless around pretty mares. An absolute disaster, tripping over their own claws and...er...well, their pickup lines are lame. 'I must be in a museum, because you truly are a work of art'? Come on, you ARE in a museum you lamebrain, gAWD just ask to make out already you Actual Disaster.
