Description 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.


-------------------------------




Excellent Blood - Best Mare

Horse ID #559
Name: Cleopatra 599
Nickname: Cleo, Papilio
Breed: Pure Nordanner
Registered: Yes

Owner: Bogdan Samuels
Handler: Piers Duval

Gender: Mare
Age: 10 years
Height: 168 cm (16.2 hands)
Body type: Modern

Color: Butterfly (on black sabino)
Markings: Large blue butterfly pattern reaching from withers to gaskins.
Genotype: EE aa nSb BpBp
Notes: Always passes no restriction gene (a). Never chestnut foals. Always butterfly foals.

Training: Basic training given, can be ridden.
Tack: Daily + Dragon tack and tack for all-around riding

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 Has a unusual sweet tooth for a horse – anything sweet goes, especially sugar
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.

Bloodlines: This horse is foundation, and has no known bloodline.

Breeding: Closed! to private arrangements
Slots will be arranged in the future. Four slots will be open to non-mutation owners only – one is for a friend/affiliate.
Only heterozygous foals may be bred out of her. Her foals are not allowed to breed with other horses of this mutation.

By my count, I think Cleo should have reached excellent blood [link] ^^ All of my images are linked on there, along with the kaaring count.

It seems so! I'll do a quick recount and check and then send a note if everything seems to be alright.

Counted her at 202 and waiting confirmation right now. :3
You should lease all my horses, you draw so prettily so fast. xD Wish I knew how to do that.

iShaddix In reply to ThatDenver [2013-06-25 11:37:14 +0000 UTC]

Great to hear :3
Pff, normally I'm so slow at throwing out art, hence why my own horses seem to be taking so long to get decent kaaring counts. But thank you <3 Glad I have helped.

ThatDenver In reply to iShaddix [2013-06-27 09:42:19 +0000 UTC]

Her status as an Excellent blood horse has been confirmed <3
Added your name on the breeding list, note me with the stallion you're gonna use. Some sort of breeding pic is needed, but a headshot is perfectly fine, I just want them as mementos basically.

iShaddix In reply to ThatDenver [2013-06-27 09:55:11 +0000 UTC]

Great news, and congrats!
Aww thank you <3 I'll have a hunt round to see if I can find a nice starter to use with her. And of course, I usually do full body breeding pics anyway so that's perfectly fine :3

I was wondering if I could reserve a breeding spot for when she will get to 1 star. At the moment I own no Nordanner and I have a breeding spot reserved with [link] . I can also draw her to get her to 1 star blood quality .

ThatDenver In reply to totalrandomusername [2012-09-01 14:41:57 +0000 UTC]

Look at my journal, please. I don't arrange private breeding slots for her, and she is already at three stars.

You know what I've been wondering for quite some time now? Which butterfly she's based off ^^' Probably a swallowtail?
