Personality:

Vanya is vain, proud, materialistic, and selfish. At first appearance, Vanya doesn't seem to be the kind of soquili that you would even want to get to know, but for all her bad qualities she actually does have a good heart.

As a foal she was picked on by her more beautiful sisters (biological and flock) to the extent that she developed an inferiority complex. She threw herself into her dancing. She was not gifted with a beautiful voice (it sounded more like screeching) but she was gifted with grace and an appreciation for beauty. While her Sisters grew strong and assured in their beauty, Vanya worked diligently at dancing. She ignored most of her other lessons, only focusing on dancing which she prized above all other Flock occupations.

With practice, she became perfect and by the time she was a foal she had began inventing her own dances, most of which involved her prize bells. In her teen years, she flourished. Her beauty overcame all of the sisters who had put her down. As it often does, the notice went to Vanya's head and she lorded it over everyone who had ever put her down. It was then that Vanya started collecting beautiful things: jewelry (gifted or made by her own claws), silks, choice foods, and eventually as she grew older--males.

Thus an empire based on her beauty and dance skills was formed with her faults hidden away. Unable to venture outside of the Flock because of her lack of predatory/capturing skills she has to have the help of her Flock sisters to seduce an entrap a stallion outside of the flock. She does not share easily though--not her prized stallions or her jewels (especially those given to her or those she's made).

She's a prima-donna by nature. Everything she does or says is done in a larger than life fashion. She is the best in all things related to beauty and grace, disdaining accomplishments like being a fighter or scholar as boring.

Vanya will never keep to one nest. She goes through males easily, picking them for attributes of beauty, strength, or demeanor to specifically breed superior offspring.

Vanya can be won over by flattery and gifts, but if you cross her you will taste her claws. She will protect those she loves with every fiber of her being, her love and respect once won are not easily lost. You will find that she's a true and valiant friend despite her pompous nature. She's even been known to share with them.

But everything is about to change.

Quirks/Character Traits:
✶ Molts all feathers in the fall (at one time) like a Peacock
✶ Helped Create the Artisian Guild
✶ Misses her brother Alagos dearly, and has decided to seek out her descendents outside of the Flock because of her love for them and for her vanity.


Backstory:

Born to Eleniel and Lerato she was raised by Flock nannies.Considered an "ugly" foal, she grew up and more beautiful than the rest of her Flock sisters until she reigned as queen of beauty among them.

Right before she became an adult, the Earthquakes came. Many lost family or items of great wealth. However unlikely it may seem, it was the death of her brother Alagos that cut her to the core. Sometimes, she looks for him as though he was only lost and would once again come home.
