Cleopatra 559

Isn't she a stunner? :3 I'm really grateful to Dane for giving her into my care. I really adore this design, although I acknowledge I need more practice drawing her to get her look as nice as possible.

Potions: Auralight gives her whole body a soft, sparkling blue glow, and turns the wings from Goldwing potion to butterfly wings.

Personality: Cleopatra is a loving, caring and almost frustratingly affectionate mare. She follows people around, and hates to be alone. Cleo can be regal when she wants, showing off beautiful movement and great manners, but she is never cool towards anyone. Any mistake she forgives, any mean attitude towards her she will forget. Only real cruelty can turn her off.

Cleo is a real happy-go-lucky mare, who never worries about anything for long. She can be easily distracted, but can keep an interesting task on her mind well enough to survive even harder exercises. Cleopatra does enjoy adventure over training in the arena, and she is on her best when exploring forests around the stable. She also enjoys being pampered and praised, and often prances happily from just the feeling of being adored.

Papilio is fairly easy to ride, even for beginners. She does get distracted now and then, but allows her attention to be turned back to the rider and the task easily. Cleopatra accepts all rider cues easily, and only misbehaves if she really has no clue what the rider wants. Not knowing the human’s intentions frustrates her to no end, and Cleo will strive to fix it. She can be a little bouncy sometimes, but never with the intention of getting her rider to fall.

She loves the company of horses just as much s humans, and gets along well with everyone, stallions and mares alike. Cleopatra has a tendency of getting bullied by the more ill-tempered horses, but she doesn’t seem to mind, as usually her friends will come to her aid. Papilio will often scout out new additions to the herd and welcome them in, and she is a safe friend for any horse to have, either in paddock or on the arena.

Trivia:

X Doesn’t scare easily, but is prone to “excitement bouncing” and getting distracted
X Likes to travel – enjoys long walks outdoors and even short trailer drives
X Good with children and foals, loves to play
X Really easy to handle even in “difficult” situations, like traffic etc.
