I'm all for interesting color combinations, so looks, breed, or edits really don't matter to me, possibly even less to her. I am mostly concerned that they be able to put up with her quirky humor, love of wandering, and penchant for good natured mischief. No one evil.
She may or may not play around with a stallion offering some equally playful flirting in her direction, but she rarely takes anyone flirting with her at all seriously. And if they're only after a night-time romp they will be shot down, probably quite rudely. She might be willing to enter a "friends-with-benefits" situation even if there's not an outright romantic interest, but she has to know and be comfortable with a stallion before she'd even think about it. So far nothing of the sort has occured.
If there were to be baskets, I would require a life-mating for her. She would not take a fling well, even if the stallion were prepared to help raise the foals before leaving. Her own family, or lack there-of, and seeing what similar situations have done to others have made this the one area in particular that she really
is touchy about. If a stallion were to pull a love and leave on her, she would hunt him down and kick his tail five ways from Sunday.
Background:Xaivary's never really had a family of her own, and tends to watch others interact from afar. She vaguely remembers
having a mother, and a brother, but never a father. From what she was able to piece together her father either never knew, or never cared, that she and her brother existed. Her mother disappeared when she was still very young, though mostly able to feed herself. Her brother went off looking for her and never came back.
The small herd in the area were very suspicious and closed minded about outsiders, and stupidly superstitious, and so felt that since she was old enough to manage without assistance in anything other than protection, but too young to really send off with a clear conscience, Xaivary became something akin to a misbehaving pet that no one really wanted around but didn't want to get rid of, either. When she was a little older she realized that she didn't have to stay there any more than they seemed to want her, and left.
Rather than growing bitter or angry as one might expect, Xaivary remained fairly easy-going and friendly, if... distant. Emotional distress between friends and family are a pretty foreign subject for her, and worries about looks and who's a good catch or other things one might expect a young mare to be concerned with never cross her mind. She's open to conversing and interacting with others to a degree, though she's most comfortable around the innocence of foals. She's even a bit more inclined to approach others for conversation or curiosity's sake after being out in the world and finding that the behavior she grew up around is not necessarily the norm. Still, if there's more than one or two Soquili around, particularly if she's not familiar with one or more of them, she'll probably vacate the area as quickly as possible. She might like watching others interact with each other as friends and family, but when she gets dragged into the middle of it she becomes uncomfortable. It doesn't really feel to her like she belongs there, invited or not.
Xaivary hardly ever seems to take things very seriously, and between a bad case of wanderlust and a penchant for mischief some might label her a trouble-maker. She has a good heart, though, and in spite of any teasing or pranks she would not intentionally bring harm to another. She's not one to pick fights, but she
will fight if it's necessary to protect herself or someone else that she wants to protect. And if she's protecting another, she won't back down even in the face of a skinwalker or a kalona.
In short, Xai is loyal to a fault to those who win her over, and a class-clown hiding deep emotional pains behind joker antics and mostly indifferent behavior... even from herself. That all said, she is not uncomfortable with who she is and tries to be.
Her favorite things are running, her trinkets, the sticks of sugar-cane and occassional bit of booze she "borrows" from the Kawani traders, and her handful of good buddies.
