Nicknames: Duff Breed: Gen 2 - 1/2 Kalona 1/2 Regular Temper: Independent Likes: Friendship and friends, Helping, Pondering, Learning Dislikes: Bullying, Being lost, Being Confused Parents: Lyou X Gaven - 'Adopted' by Blake
Personality: Duff is quite independent, preferring to do and figure things out on her own. She possesses an eternal curiosity, and though she will go to great lengths to find out what it is she wishes to know she also has a strong standing in what she believes in. She will not compromise her values for the sake of knowledge. She is quite self conscious of her Kalona traits, and though she accepts them she is very cautious and nervous about approaching others due to her understanding that most of the Kalona breed aren't all too pleasant and are not welcomed around most foals and fearful soquili due to their violent tendencies. She is more than willing to ease any fears others may have about her traits or blood. She believes that ones blood does not make a being who they are, but instead it is how one accepts their heritage and the choices they make based on that acceptance and their own personal values that makes them who they are. To say that Duff is Passive would be a lie though. While she is willing to be acquaintances with anyone, only a rare few become friends, and even fewer like family. The last two categories she values quite a bit, and would do anything for them - She is extremely protective of them, and if the need arises, would fight to the death for them.

Alone. Always alone. This is the first memory Duff has as a basket, always being alone. She wiggled about from place to place, but being so small and being only a basket she often went unnoticed by others. She was often kicked, stepped on, beaten about - all unintentionally though by the larger and preoccupied soquili that did not realize that she was under-hoof. She quickly became frightened by and being outside of her basket.
A mare Duff never got to meet face to face, Aurora, Caught sight of Duff's basket one day when she was wiggling from one hiding space to another. She, for the time she was around, warmed and protected Duff's basket. For the first time in Duff's short existence Duff felt safe and secure, comfortable and at ease. When the mare had to leave Duff waited in a nearby bush for the mare that had made her feel so safe to return. The seal began to weaken the longer that Duff waited, and eventually the seal broke completely and Duff was able to see the world around her. She continued to stay in the bush, waiting for the mare to return. Though she never traveled far she began to explore the area around the bush and met several foals, three brothers and a filly named Marnie, and a stallion named Blake. The foals would often talk with Duff, and the stallion would watch out for her and give her advice as she needed it.
Alone she remained though, of her own choosing, bu winter was coming. The cold was beginning to set in, and while interacting with on of her foal friends er bush that she had been using as shelter and home was destroyed. The stallion that continued to keep an eye on her when he could, Blake, offered Duff the use of his cave on cold nights or if she wished to have shelter since he refused to let a foal be homeless. Duff accepted his offer reluctantly with full intentions of finding a place of her own. She was still dead set on finding the one that had warmed and protected her basket and waiting for her return. Time passed, and eventually Duff grew to enjoy the company and the fact that she had a steady place to live at.
Blake had never once claimed to be her guardian or father despite him seeing her as a daughter. He never tried to force any rules on her nor tried to force her to listen to or obey him. Despite this Duff looked up to Blake with awe and respect, and though she never called him dad she grew to view him as such. After a few moons of Duff using Blake's cave as her residence the conversation of Duffs living arrangements came up between the two. Blake implied that if Duff wished she did not ever have to leave if she did not wish to. Duff, just to be sure, asked if she could continue to live with Blake. The answer, of course, was yes. One stipulation was placed though - Duff was not to go wandering off after dark since there may be fairly unsavory characters running about at night that may try to harm her.
From that moment on Duff was filled with a sense of freedom and joy, no longer bound by the worries and fears of being alone and taking care of one's self. She was finally able to be a foal.

Name - Relationship Status IC thoughts on that Soq.
Plot 1 - Adventure Gone Wrong - Duff, having been on her own for so long and having have lead a rather peaceful life doesnt realize the dangers of Adventuring on her own. I'd like her to convince a friend, or a friend to convince her, to go on an adventure that ends in Duff needing to be rescued by her friend. ((This is a developmental plot to teach the life lesson of "Look before you Leap"))
Plot 2 - A Leopard Can't Change His Spots - Duff knows that some soquili dont mind that she is part Kalona, but she also knows that some do. She somewhat wishes she didnt have her spaded tail or ram horns just so she didnt have to deal with others fearing her or hating her. I'd like for her to come accross two soquili, one that is being picked on or abused by the other, and to step in to try and defend the one that is being picked on. What happens between the bully and Duff can be discussed, but whatever happens I want Duff to emerge from this encounter valuing her looks and accepting that they can be a great asset in confrontations, that they arent all that bad.

Plot 1 -
Plot 2 -
General
Plot 1 - Friends - Duff is very accepting, and would like to meet and be friends with may. Feel free to offer.
Plot 2 - Enemies - Duff is half Kalona, which causes much unrest and mixed feelings among some soquili. I'd like for Duff to find and make enemies, whether they be pure blood Kalona's showing their hatred for the way she acts, or non-Kalona soquili showing their hatred for the kalona blood she does posses.
Plot 3 - The Leaf Monster is REAL!!! - One day while playing in a pile of leaves Duff attempted to scare Blake. He feigned surprise and exclaimed that she was the 'Leaf Monster'. After a playful roll in the leaves Duff asked Blake about the Leaf monster, what it looked like, how to defeat it, ect. Although it was just made up and Duff didnt really believe him there is still that skepticism that the monster might be real. I'd like for Duff to meet a soquili that she could mistaken as the leaf monster. Their meeting may be a little tense at first, The soquili thinking she's a kalona out to kill it and fighting back, her thinking the leaf monster is real and trying to eat the leaves that make up the leaf monster - But once they realize that neither means no harm and it was all a misunderstanding I think they could grow to be good friends.
------- Sub Plot: If the two do indeed become friends, I think it would be hilarious if Duff and her new friend were to try pull a prank on Blake and try to, on purpose, scare him as the 'leaf monster'
