Welcome to Gaia! ::

Short Summary of their plotline: Colonel has taken to the adventuring life since the death of his two legger companion many years ago. He has had several companions over the years, both short and long term and not all of them were romantic. Now he sought to find one he could love that would remain by his side. Irierath is much younger than he expected that companion to be and at first the age difference made him balk at the idea, but over time he changed his mind. She is gentle, kind, incredibly loving and adorably curious about everything since she hasn't always been the worldly type.

What are their parents' personalities?
Mother: Irierath is a gentle giant literally - she is just as big, if not a big bigger, than a lot of stallions she has met. But don't let her size fool you into thinking the wrong things about her; she is incredibly warm, gentle and very good with children be they two legged or otherwise. Having spent much of her early life as a playmate and pseudo nanny to Kawani children, which has set her up to be pretty much the ideal babysitter if given the opportunity. Outside of that she enjoys the quiet life most of the time but occasionally longs for something more. Her sense of adventure is very small and shy at present and it would take some doing to get her out to explore more.
Father: He's older, yes, but Colonel certainly doesn't let that stop him from doing anything. This stallion still spends a vast majority of his time traveling and seeing all that there is to see. He is polite, gentlemanly and has a spirited nature that the years have not managed to shatter. He endeavors to make friends with those he comes across and is more than happy to swap stories on places he has been or places he hopes to go. His family ties have become a bit more loose over the past few years but he is always willing to lend a hoof if his family, or any of his friends for that matter, should be in need.

Do the parents have professions?
Mother: Babysitter! Also, she enjoys making little trinkets from things she finds.
Father: Adventurer, and in his heart, a knight.

Link to RP(s) where something happens of importance: Unexpected Results - Not Irierath's intro, but it is where she first meets Colonel's family.

What are their family dynamics? Any foals would be raised by both parents, most certainly. Other family would be around as well.

Colonel would be a very proud papa, he loves children and hasn't had his own (or any young grandfoals) in a very, very long time. (Though that may change any day now, when Leilani gives birth to her foals.) Irierath has nearly always been a babysitter, even if it wasn't intentional. Though thankfully she loves it and nothing would make her happier than to have foals of her own with Colonel.

Leilani is a half sibling from Colonel's first breeding, she would certainly be around as much as possible but she spends a lot of her time split between Imladris, where her last set of foals were born, and the Valley Herd where her lovemate resides.

Allegro would be a nephew to any of Colonel's new foals. He wanders about moreso than his mother days but he would certainly be glad to stay around a while and help out.

Traditions: Irierath would love to make it a family tradition that the family line gets feather trinkets or crystal necklaces of some sort.
Herd/Family Culture: It isn't a proper herd yet but perhaps with Irierath by his side Colonel could start one. He would certainly include his far flung family, assuming they wished to be considered a part of it.
Religious Beliefs: Nothing too strict. Colonel and Irierath both believe in the spirits of the world, life and death and have a healthy respect for them. Colonel leaves tokens at shrines he passes, particularly those in lands claimed by other herds. No sense in disrespecting your impromptu hosts after all.
