Family: Lyric never got to know his family, and at this point, he doesn't see a reason to fix that.
▹ Familiars:
Tempo: Lyric's voice of reason, even if it's just concerned caws and annoyed trills. It is rare for Tempo to use actual words. He cares deeply for his dancing friend, although he views Lyric more like his child.

「◇ ◇ — Personality」
Generally mild-mannered and reserved, Lyric likes things quiet for the most part. Years of lonesome travels have left him awkward with the typical soquili. While he does want to make a friend or two, Lyric has grown used to pulling away from new relationships in favor of the comfort of what he knows-- solitude. With the right soquili, he's a shy and thoughtful friend who expresses himself through gifts and gestures of appreciation.
Lyric once was a great dancer, but he's thrown the talent aside after a ferocious bear attack left him disabled. While his familiar, Tempo, insists that there are plenty of disabled dancers out there, Lyric's recovery had been a long and arduous journey, dispiriting him greatly and leaving him unwilling to try again. In his mind, getting his hopes up and failing would hurt even worse. Dancing was his greatest relief, and the one true way he felt he could express himself. Without it, he finds himself battling a growing weight in his chest, but Lyric has gotten very good at denying that there's any problem in the first place (and, in turn, addressing his feelings).
▹ Notes:
Does not like bears, and finds himself challenged by those who look like one. While he'd do his best to remain civil and polite around those who trigger him, Lyric will struggle to maintain conversation or eye contact. Lyric is most often hesitant to dive into deeper relationships, mostly because of his awareness of his own shortcomings.

「◇ ◇ — History」
[Born!] Born into an average-sized litter, Lyric was nurtured by caring and devoted parents. Though music ran deep in his family, he found his true passion in dancing. He began to feel as if he didn't fit within his family. Instead of talking about it, like he should have, Lyric fantasized about traveling. He left home shortly after reaching adulthood. While he visited home a few times, Lyric noticed a distance growing between him and the others. Unsure what to make of it (and certain it must be his fault somehow), Lyric focused on adventuring instead. He danced his way across the lands, literally! Lyric was more than happy to perform for other travelers, especially if they joined in with their own song or dance. He began to feel confident in his skin, and perhaps even... hopeful? [Permanent Injury!] Lyric ignored the obvious tracks of a bear, assuming wrongfully that it'd be a shifter. He was attacked overnight, and his left back leg was maimed significantly. Lyric dragged himself to a local healer and was cared for extensively, the recovery taking closer to a year and a half before he could put his full weight on his leg. He did not take his new disability well and retired from dancing with a heavy heart. While he was told by his healer that he could, with enough dedication to rehabilitation, likely dance again, Lyric figured it'd be an empty hope. Instead of breaking his heart twice, he retreated into giving up his dreams. It felt... safer. [Familiar Bonding!] Once again, Lyric set off on another journey. He crossed paths with Tempo in a remote and desolate forest. Intrigued by Lyric's many bells, Tempo offered to guide him safely out of the labyrinthian woods. The two got along well enough, and Lyric couldn't bring himself to deny Tempo's request to travel with him.
Chalbi: Her partner and rescuer! He saved her when she collapsed in the desert and helped her recover her strength. Fawn was almost immediately enamored when she discovered his life goal was to help other soquili safely travel through the sands, and she offered to assist him in his service. They quickly fell in love after.

「◇ ◇ — Personality」
Fawn has a nurturing soul, always eager to care for others and finding joy in small acts of kindness. Warm and generous, she thrives on bringing comfort to those around her. While some mistake her gentle demeanor for someone easily taken advantage of, Fawn has a strong backbone and plenty of confidence in reminding others she's not a pushover. Her kindness is a choice, not a weakness.
▹ Notes:
She's a vegetarian but does not judge others for their diets.
—————————◊ ◊ ◊—————————
「◇ ◇ — History」
[Born!] She was the only foal born to her parents. While she loved her mother and father dearly, their relationship with one another was tumultuous; they would fight the moment the sun set and make up once it rose again. It was all Fawn knew growing up, but she understood that she never wanted to be like her parents when she was their age. The fighting eventually became too much; her father left home after one particularly nasty argument, leaving his mate and teenage daughter behind. Her mother had become entirely dependent on others caring for her and catering to her emotional needs and relied heavily on Fawn throughout the rest of her daughter's childhood. Fawn's mother entered into a new relationship and focused entirely on her new family. Hurt, but also a bit relieved, Fawn set off to wander the lands. She didn't expect how hot a desert could get and passed out while wandering its sandy dunes. Thankfully, she was found by Chalbi, who quickly took her to a nearby oasis and nursed her back to health over a few days. During this time he spoke of how he traveled the desert searching for soquili who needed help and guidance and would lend his aid to those in need. Enamored with both his daytime job and heroic nature, Fawn offered to assist him once she got her bearings. [Lifemating!] Maybe they rushed into tying the knot, but... well, Fawn just knew he was the one.

Hathi: He's sweet! She hopes to see him around more. Matthius: She wishes she could help Matthius and Hathi get along better, but... well, she gets it. She enjoys Matthius' company when he stops by, but isn't sure exactly how to act. He's a friend, but also her boyfriend's son... is it appropriate to treat him like any other friend? Is she breaking some unspoken rule?
Prim: She found the small cactus cat on top of a mountain Aleda had no business climbing-- but she's glad she did! Prim became her first and best friend.

「◇ ◇ — Personality」
When asked to describe Aleda in one word, her family chose "bright," and they weren't wrong. Aleda radiates life and warmth as a cheerful soul who sees the world through a kinder lens than most. She makes a deliberate, pointed effort to withhold judgment before getting to know others, and then puts further effort into placing herself into their hooves when possible. It isn't always easy-- or even achievable--, but she puts her heart into trying.
Once Aleda is settled on a goal, she is relentless. For someone so gentle and soft-spoken, her stubbornness can be surprising. She insists she isn't stubborn, and she might even pout if challenged on the matter.
▹ Notes:
After spending years alone after leaving her birthplace, Aleda has become a bit needy. She sees these feelings as a burden to others and puts considerable effort into masking her feelings.
—————————◊ ◊ ◊—————————
「◇ ◇ — History」
[Born!] Her parents were happy to greet her group of baskets into the world, offering Aleda plenty of love and comfort while growing up. Her father spoke plenty about the world outside their home, weaving tales of grandeur. Clearly, he had lived a long, full, and sometimes difficult life. Aleda wondered what her own life story would be and if she'd have as many twists and turns in hers as he had. She left home to travel alone, embarking on a long and lonely journey. With no clear direction and nothing to break the silence of the empty and cold nights, the solitude weighed on her like a thick, unwelcome blanket. [Familiar Bonding!] She met Prim during her first mountain exploration. The small cactus cat quickly warmed to her, seeking shelter and reprieve from the cold, snowy summit by pressing into her side. When Aleda continued her travels, she did so with Prim at her side, gaining her first-- and best --friend. She meets Hathi and Matthius [RP pending]
Feriha: She's beautiful, talented, clever-- Error has a list of positive and affectionate titles for Feriha, even though they're split ways. He was her furnace for her glasswork, and sometimes he misses it. Maybe, one day, he'll go see her again, but Error knew she wasn't ready for what he had wanted at the time. That's okay; he'll never forget her. Freya: Ohhh, he's so proud of her, but he worries constantly. Is she eating well? Does she have friends? Is she okay? Promising to give her space was hard-- she's just as willful as her mother, and he knew he couldn't smother her.
「◇ ◇ — Other Details」 ▹ Size: Larger than average ▹ Build: Strong shoulders and legs ▹ Disabilities: None ▹ Conditions: None ▹ Edits: None
▹ Powers:
Stuttering, glitchy movement when under stress, allowing him to briefly-- and unpredictably --teleport.
▹ Passable Family Traits:
Echoing voice. Glitch effects, which grow in intensity when emotional or stressed.
—————————◊ ◊ ◊—————————
「◇ ◇ — Personality」
Error has always been a kind-hearted and pleasant stallion. While his naivety can sometimes cloud his judgment, his instincts are sharp and guide him away from danger or suspicious circumstances-- unless leaving would jeopardize someone he loves. He cares little for himself in situations where a loved one is endangered and will toss himself into harm's way to ensure their safety.
Though gentle and patient by nature, Error's drive to guard and protect the ones he loves runs deep, poisoning self-reason when he witnesses them disrespected or harmed. He struggles to move past previous altercations; no amount of self-soothing can extinguish the fiery anger that will ignite within him. His temper is ferocious and untameable in these moments, fueled by his unwavering love and devotion for those he holds dear.
▹ Notes:
Error's stutter fluctuates, waxing and waning depending on his current temperament. Paired with his echoed voice, it sounds like an electronic voice glitching.
—————————◊ ◊ ◊—————————
「◇ ◇ — History」
[Born!] Birthed from a fleeting and regrettable fling, Error was abandoned at the edge of a river, left in his basket for the elements to do with as it may. Against all odds, he survived his foalhood, although he has little memory of his earlier years. Error found his saddle while exploring desolate, forgotten ruins. With no owner in sight, the saddle quickly became his. It didn't take long for him to master the flames within, using it predominately to cook his meals. Lonely and yearning for companionship, Error trailed after a traveling herd he encountered, offering his flames in exchange for permission to adventure with the group temporarily. There, he'd meet Feriha, the herd's glassblower. Enamored by her craft, Error proposed an offer: he would use his fire to aid her glassblowing if she taught him crude, basic glassblowing. [Breeding!] One thing led to another, then another, which then gave way to... baskets? Feriha and Error Malware had children together! He was overjoyed-- no, elated --to have a family of his own with someone as remarkable as Feriha. His adoration for the glassblow, as well as their children, couldn't be missed. He extended his stay with the herd beyond his original plan to ensure his children were safely raised within their mother's herd. As much as Error was smitten with Feriha, he understood that she wasn't ready to settle down, nor did he feel the need to try and tie her to him. When their children reached adulthood and could forge their own paths, Error made the difficult decision to leave, taking with him the curious Freya. His heart ached when, in a manner that reminded him of Feriha, she begged him to let her travel alone, just as he had once done prior to meeting her mother. Error respected her independence, seeing Feriha in her as she spoke. He promised her that no matter how far she traveled, no matter the sights she saw, she'd always have a home by his side. He left her at the same river he had once been abandoned, leaving behind a promise to return to her in three years and hear of the tales of her travels.
