Example post with requested character:
 Ahhh… I haven't posted with this girl in over a year >< I found a really old post but it's pretty bad, sorry!

The grulla filly basked in the sun’s rays, willingly accepting the generous warmth they provided. Allowing her lids to descend lightly over her captivating orbs she raised her earth facing muzzle to the vibrant sky as if in prayer. The remainder of her elegant body however did not cease to move, her legs continued forward, her body a poem in motion. The fae’s sleek, dark mane was plastered stubbornly to her delicately built neck. She ignored it as she gratefully welcomed the dry, scorching weather, for it was this weather that had prevented many stallions from travelling across the meadows in which she searched alone. Her sensitive audits, alert as a flame, continued to twitch as diverse sounds caught her attention. Espantada was nothing but a young mare, only a mere three years had she inhabited the miles of seemingly uninhabited lands before her; and consequently, the fae’s attention was easily established yet easily broken. Furthermore, she often unintentionally let he guard down, which was why she was unaware of the stallion that proceeded to sneak up on her.

A frightful squeal simultaneously flooded the bare lands as the stallion gracefully came up behind the mare, passing within mere inches of her pelt before turning to face her head on. It was not only her fear at coming into the presence of a stallion that spooked her, it was the fact that she had not previously been aware at how close he had been. Her adolescent senses had failed her once again, allowing a stallion to sneak up behind her and concurrently appear before her as if he was only a spirit. Unwanted memories swamped her head, all visions of the stallion ceased as her dark orbs rolled deep within her head to reveal striking whites. She thrust her head towards the sky in distress, attempting to get it as far away from the stallion before her. Golden chest strained forward and head held proudly he conducted himself in a prince-like manner as he proceeded to advance towards her. Many would have thought his advancement would not have been much of a deal, but to the frightened mare it was as if he had decided to attack her. The stag’s words drowned before reaching her ears as she planted her hind legs firmly into the ground and raised her forelegs to strike at the empty air before her. What was she doing?! If this stallion wanted to he could have her half-dead on the ground in no time, just like the other ones…

She waited until her front legs made contact with the crusty earth before swivelling her head around to see if she was surrounded. The filly calmed slightly as she realized he was the only stag in her presence. As she glanced at his golden pelt once more she realized he had lowered his head. She was still nervous to be in the presence of such a magnificent beast, yet she felt embarrassed by her actions. She to lowered her head as she took a hesitant step backwards, to put a little extra room between herself and the stag. She wandered what he had been saying to her previously, however she did not want to be the first to speak. She stood there frozen, only her heaving sides proving she was still animate.
