Nickname: Little Rose.
Height: 14.2 hands.
Family:
Children: None.
Mate: None.
Personality: Margaery is, to the depth of her being and despite everything that will happen to her, a giver. Her first desire is to help provide for others, to give comfort, love, food, possessions, whatever it is that will help them become better and healed. At first, she is not good at gauging others' intentions and freely gives them whatever she can provide, but once she learns that the world is cruel - and that not everyone can live up to her lofty expectations of them - she begins to realize that people have been taking advantage of her. Reading people becomes a study of hers: she watches body language to determine mood, tone of voice to determine what they're after, taking in as much information as she can before acquiescing to give them what they ask. If she thinks they really need something else, she'll give them that instead; if they're dangerous, she will learn to carefully step around them. She is still genuine and tries to mean everything she says, but there is a bit of both warm-heartedness and cool calculation in her. First she will be warm to everyone, then icy... And then she will learn to be both.
She largely subsists on nectar.
History: Margaery also grew up as a dreamer, egged on by her family. She dreamed of one day bringing fulfillment to all the world's people and believed it was possible... And wanted to have as much of a hand in it as she could. She's been giving gifts and listening to the wants of others with an attentive ear since foalhood. She's even learned to be a giver to plants - her family is a group of gardeners that raise golden roses for all kinds of trading and viewing pleasure. Without their love, skill, and devotion, the roses that thrive there would never have survived. She's also been endowed with quite a lot of familial pride, tracing her bloodline back to the Cerynei Lands and truly believing the teachings of her family: the Cerynei were born of the trees, the Flutters of the flowers, and that is why their affinity for flowers is so strong. She will largely subsist on nectar and do her best to help pollinate the flowers of the Kawani Lands... Because if she can't help the Soquili and the humans, she'll console herself by helping the flowers.
Character Development: Her plans can be found in the spoiler.
Margaery will need development.
Series of chronological roleplays will include:
♣ The Glory of Highgarden: Margaery reflects on her family and her life up to this point, and realizes she can't wait for adventure to find her; she must find it.
♣ Leaving Highgarden: Margaery leaves her family to travel with the khalasar after a few days of hosting the herd at Highgarden. She idolizes Daenerys from almost the moment she sets eyes on her. The grove filled with her family's prized golden roses is traded for ever-changing scenery and things she had never dreamed of - like large bodies of water and sand, open sky... She pledges herself as a scout, taking along her family's crossbow to remind herself that her family and home will always keep her safe.
♣ Signs of Winter: Margaery and the khalasar meet Jon Snow on his way to the Wall.
♣ Dangerous Waters: Peril strikes the khalasar in the form of White Walker and The Other, and Margaery is on the front lines, unable to escape to warn the khalasar, as is her duty. She is severely wounded, physically and psychologically, and begins to flicker between her full size and flutter size, each of the transformations more painful than the one before it, as well as unpredictable. She loses faith (and possibly gains heartbreak) in Daenerys for not being able to keep her people safe from harm, as she thought her idol would guarantee. Devastated by the loss of her power and the emotional pain, Margaery leaves the khalasar with at least a head wound.
♣ Wicked World: Margaery witnesses the cruelty of the world and goes through even more physical pain as she tries to deal with her flickering form. A few months later, the khalasar finds her or she finds the khalasar and she rejoins them. Healing, she begins to understand that Dany is not at fault for injuries caused by the Other and White Walker and apologizes for any words that were exchanged at the time of her leaving. Eventually, though, she begins to get lonely and drifts away from the herd, in search of the prince that she set out from Highgarden to find.
♣ Love Cuts Deeper Than Swords: Margaery experiences the loss of one or more partners she had planned to be lifemated to in a span of six to twelve months, the first departing fairly quickly and second after months of careful courtship. For plot purposes, she thinks that both are dead, whether they are or not. Grieving, she sets romance aside and returns to what she believes in - that there should always be someone there to heal the hurt and comfort others. After the attacks, her flicker worsens. [One stallion plotted so far: Lady Argentum Draconis's Taliesin (plot set prior to his lifemating). Looking for a second Flutter-Cerynei.]
♣ The Wall: Wounded and devastated after the second attack, Margaery is found by Jon Snow, who takes her back to the Wall on his way home from a ranging. At the Wall, he stands by as her wounds are healed and explains to her about the creatures who killed/took/ran off her beloved - the skinwalkers. As she learns more about them and realizes what they are, she sets out to find victims of the creatures and protect them after getting some self-defense training. While there, her flicker begins to relent.
♣ For Better... Or Worse: Margaery seeks out victims of abuse and attacks, to comfort them and help them heal from wounds physical and psychological, as she is still trying to do herself. In the midst of trying to get one victim to safety, they are set upon by some kind of beast (skinwalker, dragon, kelpi, something predatory) that takes her in place of the victim that she protects. Kidnapped and hidden away, she learns to read the beast and carefully step around its anger and temper, letting it believe that she wants to be there. One day she manages to wile her way into an outing and escapes.
♣ A Hunt: Now knowing firsthand what it is to be a victim of more than one attack, Margaery sets out to end as much violence as she can. She finds a Hippogryph (possibly a Harpy) who can teach her to use her crossbow and trades with the Kawani for arrows, which she shortens into rudimentary bolts. Weapon at the ready, she hunts and takes down or scares off any perpetrators that she comes across, adopting a basket that she finds along the way and eventually rejoining the khalasar.
♣ Serving the Khaleesi: With her new skill as a crossbowman, Margaery dedicates herself to the defense of the khalasar and her khaleesi, striving to be worthy of the Queensguard (or an advisement position or something). Daenerys has become her idol once more.
♣ The Flicker Due to some on-the-job stressor, Margaery's flicker gets worse again. She seeks counsel from all Unicorns, Kirin, and Minicorns that the khalasar passes, hoping for a cure. Nothing helps, but when she is taken off duty (to her horror), the flickering goes from rapid-fire, unpredictable and painful transformations to a little bit of choppiness when she actually tries to transform into whichever size she needs. This is taken as a sign that she needs relaxation, disappointed as she is. She becomes a regular herd member or takes a step back from her previous position. Eventually someone thinks to wonder if it's a psychological trauma, and their help with her coping with her issues alleviates the flicker, even with the stressors, to the little bit of choppiness mentioned before. It's a permanent characteristic, though.
♣ The Paramour: Margaery's first experience with a hot and heavy romance. She spends a lot of time away from the khalasar with this stallion, but eventually gets annoyed with the time she's spending away from Daenerys and the herd and breaks it off. [Looking for a boy for this.]
♣ Dishonoring: Margaery's family learns of her relationship with her paramour when she returns to Highgarden, as well as her flicker, kidnapping, and the accidents that happened with the stallions that courted her. They try to be understanding and sympathetic, but at the same time, force her to cleanse herself. Reluctant at first, she grows even more hesitant as the ceremony goes on; halfway through, she realizes that she is not sorry for anything that has happened to her, because all of it has made her grow into the mare she is. She explodes and stops the ceremony and takes control of the acquiescent feelings she's had for her parents, and makes them see who she really is. When she leaves, both parties are a bit bitter, but her parents have judged her as "cleansed" despite the half-finished ceremony.
♣ Butterflies: The right kind of boy comes her way.
Plots that may happen at any time:
♣ The Kittens: Ser Pounce, Lady Whiskers, and Boots are three black bobcat kittens that Margaery keeps company with.
♣ Single Mother: Margaery raises the basket she found in the wreckage of an attack.
♣ Night Terrors: After each of the attacks she is subject to, Margaery has night terrors that grow and grow. She hates going to sleep and runs on fumes until something makes them fade.
♣ Claustrophobia: After being held captive in a cave, Margaery will no longer have any love for them - even seeing one will make her nervous. The canopy of a forest is a different matter, though, as it protects her from anything that might come down to scoop her up.

Character Concept: Margaery is a cosplay of the character Margaery Tyrell from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series and its television adaption. Her personality and character is based largely on that, but much of it has been adapted to be appropriate for the Soquili setting.
RP Color: Green and bold gold.
