Personality: Shikara is incredibly shy and easily embarrased. She likes to think that she is not special, and that anything she does will have no effect whatsoever.

History: Shikara was origanally a tame horse and she was shipped from Iceland, as she had been sold to a new owner for her impeccable bloodlines. Her new home had high, secure fences and the human came to check on her often. Not that Shik would ever attempt to escape. She wouldn't dare.

One night, when the moon was full and Shik's coat shone in the moonlight as she grazed, a loud thud sounded from the fence nearest to her. Startled, she jumped back. The thud came again and a crack broke the still air as the wood bent in submisson. Terrified, she backed away, her legs trembling. One more blow was all it took and the fence tumbled to the ground like paper in the breeze. A squeal of victory came from the darkness and hoofbeats pounded towards her. Shik pushed herself into a corner and prepared herself for the worst. But no amount of self-coaching could prepare her for what she saw. A figure, dark as the night itself stood before her, it's eyes gleamed pure white and large knife-like spines stood to attention. The intruder took a step towards her and and the spines shone like bleached bones. Her eyes widened as she realised the monster's intent. It was going to kill her. She began to bolt away, but a spine embedded itself in the ground, blocking the path. Suddenly a bright flash ignited the space between Shik and the predator. A stallion with a navy coat and red markings stood on the springy grass, his features curled into a snarl of disgust. "Get out of here Envy." He said simply but threatingly. Envy's pupiless eyes darted from the new horse to Shik and back again before snorting, showing razor-sharp fangs and vanishing as quickly as she had come. She heaved a sigh of relief. "Th-Thank you...." She managed to choke out, stunned from the night's events. The stallion turned to face her and fear stabbed at her heart as she saw his eyes that were as red as blood. He smiled warmly at her and began to move towards her. She swallowed nervously, what was he going to do? She was shocked when he rested his noble head on her withers and shut his eyes tightly. There was a flash of brilliant white and she found herself on the outskirts of a herd, which welcomed her more or less kindly enough.

She lived with that herd for a while until, without warning, her calm life was shattered once again. A huge palomino tobiano stallion stood at the mouth of the valley they were grazing in, screaming in challenge at their own leader. The unknown horse burst into a gallop towards the herd, where their lead stallion rested at the centre. Shikara was on the outside of the herd and as he entered, he flirted with her, prancing and tossing his head, his mane slapping down hard against his muscled neck. She shied away, the most embarrased she had ever been in her life, yet there was something....familar about him, something she couldn't quite put her hoof on. He nuzzled her crest gently and continued on his way to the centre. She watched as he challenged the lead stallion, who backed down to hide away his own daughter Kunama. ( (c) Taylavampireknight)  The new leader neighed victoriously and cantered with the herd, assuring them that he was kind.  Hoofbeats approached from behind and he pulled up next to her. She felt her cheeks burning and all she wished for was to sink into the ground. "What is your name?" He asked gently. "I'm... Shikara...." She mumbled. He rested his head on her withers, his blood-red eyes twinkling. Wait a minute, blood red? Her head snapped round to look at him. No way,it's not possible she thought as she saw him open his mouth to speak. "My name is Party Rocker."
