Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her father, Cuauhcoatl, is the Protector of the Yectenehua Herd, so while technically not a princess she IS the daughter of a soquili in a position of leadership. Ekundayo also very much acts and (in my opinion) looks like a princess, as well. Her mother, Kayla, is a very timid mare and is currently travelling with Ekundayo. She is cowardly despite having a big heart, and she would attempt to rescue her daughter but fail.

Short Personality Blurb: Having reached her teenage years, Ekundayo is beginning to come out of her shell and learning more about herself and who she is -- and not just a foal shielded from everything by her mother. Ekundayo is endlessly curious about the world, knowing so little about it. She wishes to be everything her mother isn't -- not out of spite, because she loves her mother dearly, but so that she can better support her mother's weaknesses and protect her. Her mannerisms come off as extremely lady-like -- she is soft-spoken, elegant, and enjoys being treated as if she were a princess. However, in the face of danger she tries to firmly stand her ground, even if what she is facing terrifies her to the core. Ekundayo wants to be a brave knight while maintaining all the qualities of a dignified mare, although she will quickly learn this is not what she is meant to be. She is easily offended or embarrassed by vulgarity, but her heart is large enough to forgive and give second chances time and time again.

Short Blurb of Recent Events: Ekundayo knows little of the tragic history that lead up to her birth. As a foal, she would sometimes ask her mother about her father, but Kayla was too afraid of losing the only daughter she managed to "save" and would always tell Ekundayo that she would tell her when she was older. However, Ekundayo has recently matured into a young teenage mare, and she is questioning her mother more now than ever and claiming she is old enough. Kayla has continued to be reluctant to tell her daughter the story, and the flawless entity that Ekundayo has always seen in her mother was crumbling away; she is realizing that Kayla is kind hearted but cowardly, and while Ekundayo does not look down on her mother for this weakness, she knows she never wants to grow to be so fearful of everything herself.

Why are they a good fit for our family: what comes out of it can be shaped in any desired way
What role do you see your soquili playing: failed attempt of finding princess, but surely a member of family
