Tehya is the head mare in my teepee. smile She's my eldest soquili, and the one every one of them runs to with a problem. She is probably the only Soq I would try and make an elder. Khalon is my herd's "protector." He's fierce and stern, and has fought many a battle. smile He is a little disapproving of women in combat, but he understands necessity. And if all else fails, Reflection knows women can be wicked- his sisters taught him that lesson well. (Yet they still get to be Daddy's Baby girls. Hmmph.) And Yue Shuang has a few tricks up her sleeve.
And layer, for Motherhood, Selene could fill that helpful role quite well- Safi filled it for her when she was not able to understand Yue. =3
