Ah, I've been lurking around your plot thread for so long that I have so many ideas.
sweatdrop Ahem.
I would like to offer my
Eleanor for the Xuen's plot "Never Fear" and if you're interested, then I'd like to suggest her for "The Joys of Foalhood" as well.
She has a tendency as a foal to wander away from the side of her adoptive father and while she never has any intention to, nine out of ten times her walks end up getting her further away from home than she intended and she'll get lost.
Maybe Xuen simply sees her wandering on her own or maybe she spots him first and goes to investigate who on earth he is. Through a clever lie on Xuen's part, or perhaps just a childish conclusion that Ellie jumps to, Xuen is named her imaginary friend and as such she claims that it is his job to help her get back home!
If they manage to get her home, or to a point where she remembers how to get home and Xuen liked her company enough then I would like to suggest her in "The Joys of Foalhood", where Ellie would want to see her 'imaginary friend' again and so goes back to where she saw him in "Never Fear" in hopes of playing with him more.
(Depending on whether you like any of those ideas, it might be cool to have Ellie meet him further down the road after she’s grown up.)

Another offer I've got for him is with my
Rosalyn, for his "A Past Forgotten" plot. Rosalyn is a gardener and therefore, a practical sort. She knows how the seasons change, how flowers are grown, and how to care for them. She does not believe in ghosts. If Xuen came across her garden looking distressed or lost after his memories had gone, she would want to take him in and try to help him however she could.
If you'd care for a long term friendship, then she could offer her garden grove as a place for him to rest until he regained his memories, or simply wanted to leave, but it could be a place that he could come back to if he so wished.
In the event that they become friends, they could discuss how to grow the best jasmine leaves for the best jasmine tea, she would let him around her foals (since she recently found out the news that she was going to be a mother) if he wanted to be and she could confirm day after day that he was just as alive as she was.
