~Soquili Stats Bonus Questions~ [December is All Stats!]

[Tara de Draiocht]

Owner's Name: Tara de Draiocht
Participating Soquili: Enchanté Cert
Link to Teepee: here

Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?:
Enchante raised an eyebrow with her mouth in an almost frown. Her red eyes almost flashing in displeasure at having to reveal a weakness, "Nothing truly frightens me." Though the thought of skinwalkers and purewalkers was upsetting, Enchante didn't think it was necessary to mention out loud, it was comment knowledge that they could be truly frightening. Even if she had paws and claws to fight back with. She awaited the next question with a bored expression.


If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?:
"I think of my pack," The answer was spoken with no hesitation. "I think of how they need me to keep them safe and happy." Just the idea of having a threat caused her tail to stick straight up and her fur to bristle. Enchante looked around for her beta and calmed down once she saw that Lyka was safe as well as close.


How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?:
"Train them," Enchante continued speaking in a serious almost lecturing tone. "Guide them and have them face their fears in small steps. Listen to what they have to say and find ways to build up their courage like a proper alpha should."
 

[ArashiX]

Owner's Name: ArashiX
Participating Soquili: Aleera
Link to Teepee: [ x ]
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?:
Aleera considers the question, flicking her ears thoughtfully back and forth before answering: "While some may say Kalona, as the breed is notorious for being violent, there are none so inherently evil as Skinwalkers--cursed or pure, it matters not. I have heard rumours of one devastating an entire herd. Even worse, that there is an Elder Skinwalker."

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?:
The mare smiles. "By believing in the strength of my heart, and in the hearts of those around me."

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?:
"By talking with them. Talking, the simple act of simply speaking of such things with someone, makes one acknowledge the fear. Though you may not be able to conquer your fear with words, it is truly that first step in coming to terms with it." Aleera nods, the feather near her ear fluttering with her hair's movement.  

[Jackariah Beckett]

Owner's Name: ladyfirefox89
Participating Soquili: Tomtubrus Taccardi
Link to Teepee: Here
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?: Tom's ear flicked once, the only sign of recognition of the question for a few seconds. "I do not know what creatures they are called.... But the minions of the beast who killed my royalty is what I run from."

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?: "Mind over matter. Think of something silly and have your fear do it. It is a good way to lessen the bite of terror."

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?: "Explain to them that if you do not feel safe from something, run. Most fears are things soquili can run from."  

[Aria Starstone]

Owner's Name: Lady Aria Starstone
Participating Soquili: Aurianna
Link to Teepee: [X]
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?: "Skinwalkers. When it comes down to it, that's the only creature I truly fear. Most others I can escape, if I am determined to do so, I believe... But a skinwalker, especially, say, an Owlwalker, is death on hooves or claws. And why? Who, that is sane and NOT a walker themselves, is not truly afraid of a Walker? I can battle one, but it would be hard, and dangerous."

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?: "I remember who I am fighting for, whether it is for my life so that I can live to protect another, or the person I am protecting. Especially if it is a child."

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?:
"Well... I remind them that I am there to back them up, so they know that they don't HAVE to be afraid that if whatever they face is more then they can handle on their own, they'll have what they need to do so!"

Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?:
He scratches out a rough shape of a horse in the dust, then covers the head, neck, and back with grass clippings. He leaves the tail short.

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?:
He scrunches his nose, then scrambles up a tree. It's much easier to be brave from a distance.

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?:
Back on the ground he draws another horse in the dirt, then surrounds it with more horse drawings.

Participating Soquili: Jasmine
Link to Teepee: [x]
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?:
Jasmine winced, recalling bloody and frightening events of her past. "Skinwalkers... I-I do not wish to discuss them" she whispered.

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?:
"I..." Jasmine flushed a bit. "I rely on my companion... he is very brave and strong," she smiled.

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?:
"I don't think I could help with that," she frowned. "I'm not the bravest mare myself..."  

[Kyrieko]

Owner's Name: Kyrieko
Participating Soquili: Dark Side
Link to Teepee: Teepee
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?:
Dark Side doesn't even blink as she responds, "Kalona." Her ears flick back, tail swishing in agitation. "I fear Kalona. They are horrid creatures and take away things important to you. Like a Uni's horn. Or they will just kill you." So she believed and did not question. "I avoid them as strongly as I can."

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?:
"You mean besides yelling at the top of your lungs?" Dark Side snorts sarcastically, tilting her head to consider the question. "I would stand my ground and try to remember I'm not a little foal. That I can face down my fear. And protect those I care for."

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?:
This question gets quite the long look from the mare, as she carefully considers how to respond. "Keep your chin up and never think you are anything less than what you are. Your fears can't make you weak or worthless. It's only in your mind. Stand tall, and face them down with pride." She says quietly.
 

[NymiiNym]

Owner's Name: Yushika
Participating Soquili: Fawn
Link to Teepee: Here
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?:
For a second, she pauses. Her head tilts to the side and with a firm grunt she tosses her head. "Skinwalkers. I'm afraid of becoming one." Briefly, a hint of fear flashes behind her eyes before she stubbornly suffocates it with a stern scowl. She isn't quite liking these questions.

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?:
Another pause follows. A soft smile crosses her features as she shrugs, a playful sight. "Breathe in deep and imagine something scarier. There is always one other thing worse than your fears."

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?:
With another shrug, the motherly woman flashed a warm smile before shaking her head. "Depends on the other, honestly." She quietly begins to nestle down for the night, eyes flicking up and a warm smile appearing once more. "It's best to remind that person of their inner strength. They are strong as long as they try, and they possess a power no one else has. They have to find what it is within themselves, though."

 

[StarieMichie]

Owner's Name: StarieMichie
Participating Soquili: Bridgette
Link to Teepee: xoxo
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?: "A Queen knows no fear. I can not allow myself to feel fear in the least. The monster you feed is the monster that grows, and even fearing a creature slightly will give it power."

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?: "If I'm a threatened by a non-physical force, I will consult a magician to drive it away. Some things are better left to experts, and I am a novice in such things."

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?: "It is always inspiring for subjects to see their ruler. Just my presence steels their reserves."  

[.Tortured. .Pumpkin.]

Owner's Name: .Tortured. .Pumpkin.
Participating Soquili: Haborym
Link to Teepee: Here
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?:
Haborym raised a brow at the question. "Frightens me?" He let out a bit of a laugh. "Surely you must be joking." He rolled his eyes and thought about it, but was still drawing a blank.

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?:
Haborym rolled his eyes. "Are you ignorant?" He grunted, beginning to grow impatient with the questions.

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?:
The stallion didn't even dignify an answer. Instead, he stomped at the idiocy and took flight. It seemed too many Kalona had gone soft, too many had allowed too many others to live. They weren't frightening enough anymore. And apparently, from the line of questions, they weren't seen as brave either. Something would have to remedy this...  

[TrigunKittie]

Owner's Name: TrigunKittie
Participating Soquili: Zahara
Link to Teepee: Teepee
Moving into the heart of summer it seems that everything is stirring. What creature is it that frightens you the most and why?: "Spiders!" Zahara blurts out an answer without even pausing to think. "Spiders... one time when I was snacking on some nectar, a gust of wind blew me into a spider's web. It was the most terrifying moment of my life. It didn't occur to me to shift into my bigger size until it was almost too late." She shudders uncontrollably and prances in place, as if trying to shake off the feeling of the web on her.

If you are scared of something that you can’t physically force away, how do you make yourself feel more courageous?: She thinks for a moment before answering. "By telling myself the fear is just in my mind. That I've overcome other obstacles in my past, I am brave, I am strong, and I can make it through this as well."

How can you help others to feel braver against their own fears?: "Tell them that you will stand beside them and you will face your fears together. Sometimes all someone needs is to know that they are not alone." Zahara clears her throat softly and tries to hide a tear, blinking it back while averting her eyes.
