Prepare for the worst: Accompanied by only Drashi, Sengdroma sets her rescue efforts into action to save her mate, Maion.
Why would your Soquili (IC) choose the Elder path? Sengdroma has always longed to help those around her. She absorbed as much knowledge as she could during her life so that she could be of help in many situations. Now that she is older, has a family and herd of her own, she would like to put herself in a position that others could come to her for advice or guidance. She wants to be a role model for the both the young and old in her herd, and for the soquili in the world around her.
Why have you chosen the Elder path for your Soquili OOC? Since my muse first started working Sengdroma's personality out, she has always struck me as an elder. I have several other soquili that have met the requirements, but their personality just isn't right for the position of Elder. Sengdroma, in my mind, just fits. She is a knowledgeable mare, who is calm and collected during times of distress. She has learned many things during her lifetime that I believe give her the wisdom and character of an elder.
