Name: Iolo (pronounced "Yollow" like yellow sort of =3)
Species: Wild Brumby
Gender: Stallion
Age: Two
Appearance:
Iolo is a handsome two year old colt. When he's fully grown, he will stand at about 15hh, meaning that he will be a pretty "average" brumby. Iolo has a blaze that stops at a point before his nose, where there is a small snip. He is a blue roan in colour, with sooty markings and a tummy that has white flecked into it. Like most blue roans, Iolo has dark points to his coat, mainly on his legs and muzzle. He's got four white legs; two socks on his front legs, and two stockings on his back ones. He has two white hooves, both on his left side, where as the right ones are a blue-y black. His mane and tail are both coloured with the same midnight blue underlayer, but lighten towards the ends, forming the sort of black that is found in a piebald horses mane. His right eye is blue, even though the stripe doesn't cover the eye.
Personality:
Iolo is a rather aloof character. He's had his share of bad memories in the past, and despite being naturally social, he finds it hard to let his guard down around strangers. He is proud when he feels he needs to be, and brave when the time calls, but he is also loyal once he's won over. Once he lets down his guard and becomes relaxed with someone he'll be there for them. When he's nervous he might not talk a lot, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to not talk, he just needs someone to get him started, and to make him feel more comfortable. Once Iolo starts talking, he treats everyone he meets how he himself would like to be treated, not everyone will return that, but he tries.
History:
Although he is young, Iolo has had his share of bad experiences. His foalhood was okay, you know - normal, up until a brumby drive. He and his mother were among the ones captured, and despite his efforts to help his mother get free, the yearling couldn't so he stayed with his mum. Iolo was kept at a hut for the next few days, still thankfully, in the company of his mother. He didn't know what was going to happen in the future, and warily waited to see with his mum. It was only when the men came out and started looking at what they caught that hope struck him and he plotted a way to escape. When the men came and opened the gate to the pen they were being held in one day, he barged past them, and whinnied to his mum to come with him, but she stood still, shocked that he had tried something like that. Meanwhile other brumbies in the pen had got the same idea and charged the men at the gate, thinking his mother was among them, Iolo gallopped off, but it was only when they stopped that he realised that his dam wasn't with them. That same night he crept back to the hut and looked for her, he found her, but their reunion was short lived, as the men had heard something outside and come out with guns. Iolo froze, and they came towards him, trying to catch him. He evaded them and fled to the trees, but just before he reached a safe distance from the hut, he heard a shot and flinched. He carefully trotted back to the place where the hut was located, and saw his mother being led away. He whinnied to her, but she didn't come back. A couple of months later, Iolo had given up hope of ever finding his old herd. He's been wandering ever since.
