Naeri Thunderhoof

N/A

Female

Driaere (Ryein) / Unicorn

Lightning Magic - Naeri is aptly named for her use of thunder magic. It swirls around the underside of her coat, in her hooves, eyes, and horn. When she runs lightning crackles around her, and if she runs fast enough she creates thunder. She channels her lightning magic through her horn, which she can direct out as singular blasts. Other times she can release blasts from her hooves, or even her entire body.

Speed - An exceptionally fast runner. She can create thunder in her wake, and can be very difficult to catch. She uses this for her advantage (and to show off how great she is).

Unicorn magic - Being half unicorn, Naeri has some degree of unicorn magic. While more diluted than that of her father she's still able to cast protective magic, which she often combines with her lightning magic to produce hot, crackling shields. These shields are immensely hard to break. She's unsure if she can grant wishes or not, as she's never been captured.

Longer Life - Naeri has a longer lifespan than Driaere, thanks to her unicorn blood. She doesn't know how long she'll end up living, and vows to make the best of her life.

Independent - Naeri cares little for associating with others. Herd life has never quite been for her, and she prefers to do her own thing. Leaving others behind in the dust is not a concern of hers, and she rather enjoys the bewildered faces of those who are unaware of her speed. She's always been fine on her own, perhaps thanks to her unicorn heritage. Either way, Naeri is fine without others, and much prefers solitude over gossipy nags. Her independence leads to something a little less desirable for those unlucky enough to befriend her: she's loyal to herself, first and foremost. If the going gets tough, Naeri gets going. Not that she minds.

Aggressive - While some would call it aggressive, Naeri prefers the term assertive. She gets what she wants, regardless of what she has to do or who gets hurt in the process. She's loud in her opinions, and isn't one to be talked over (though this only applies to her). She's quick to put her hoof down, and woe betide anyone who keeps pressing the issue. Naeri isn't immune to lashing out in anger, and she has a fairly low boiling point. It's not difficult to irritate her, and she'll lash out with a well placed kick to shut someone up or put them in their place.

Haughty - A likely side effect of being half unicorn, Naeri has a complex. She's superior to everyone that isn't a unicorn, and she'll make sure you know it. She's patronizing, snide, and can be downright cruel with her words. She's choosy about who she associates with, which in her herd? Is no one. She's arrogant and a bit too full of herself, with a hefty ego.

Brash - Never one to mince words, Naeri is incredibly brash and upfront about, well, everything. She doesn't care if her often too brutal honesty hurts feelings. Some might find her rude, but she calls it "being honest" and "saying what needs to be said". It's no wonder why she has zero (0) friends, but she's quite happy with that. This, coupled with her assertiveness, has made her a rather prickly individual. But unlike a cactus, she's not soft on the inside. In fact, Naeri is perhaps even more aggressive on the inside, like an apple full of worms.

Calculating - Naeri wants nothing more than to have the best, and to get that she plays smart. Every social move she makes is deliberate. A well placed suggestion here, some advice there, maybe a rumor or two--it's all to serve her own purpose. Life is a game, and she'd much prefer to be the winner.

Naeri was born in a unicorn forest. Here she witnessed the glory of her father's people, and decided she would be everything they were and more. She didn't make many friends as a foal, sheltered away by her mother in fear of the noble unicorn class. And a few years after her birth Naeri's mother took her back to her home herd, something Naeri has always resented. Why should she have to settle for hanging around common nags when she was a unicorn? Her sour attitude only worsened as she got older, though this was curbed by her mother's kindness and wisdom.

Her time among the unicorns had weakened her mother significantly, and her ill health worsened from no longer being kept fit and healthy by the unicorn's magic. And so one harsh winter Naeri found her mother dead in a field. But all Naeri felt was resentment. Her mother had died without telling her how to return to her father's home, and she could never, ever forgive her for that. And so her bad attitude worsened without the guiding light of her mother.
