About

The foothills herd consists of my earliest WMEs, and was the first herd I created for my equids. Their ranks are largely built on interlopers and loners, who've come together to form a family.

Roles

Lead Stallion ⋆ Rocket || Lead Mare ⋆ Soliloquy || Advisor ⋆ Honolulu

Terrain

Location Reference ⋆ Montana Valley Foothills, Montana

The foothills herd lives in a temperate grassland at the base of a large mountain range. The terrain is grassy and hilly, with some rocky outcroppings and small stands of deciduous trees. Summers a dry and warm, while winters are mild thanks to the cradle of the hills and valley.

Herd Dynamics

Relationship ⋆ Partners

Rocket and Soliloquy have a quiet, devoted relationship. They bring out the best in each other, with Rocket's brash personality being tempered by her quiet nature, and his earnest support aiding in her confidence. They can be quite cheeky with one another, a side of Soliloquy seen with nobody else.
Relationship ⋆ Friends

Honolulu and Rocket are good friends, despite their frequent arguments. Honolulu can be very stubborn in her opinions (even when she's been proven wrong), but at the end of the day, Rocket does appreciate her experience and advice. Sometimes their frequencies align and they decide to be menaces together, largely when it comes to interacting with rival herds.
Relationship ⋆ Sibling-Like

Ladybird looks up to Rocket, seeing him much like an older brother. He loves to indulge her mischevious streak, while also ensuring that her shenanigans don't lead to any injuries.
Relationship ⋆ Acquaintances

Rocket and Bruno have a rather neutral relationship -- Rocket respects Bruno's levelheaded calm, and Bruno respects Rocket's tenacity; however, the two don't spend much time together.
Relationship ⋆ Friends

Mocha is Rocket's go-to for a little goofing around - her free spirited nature makes her an excellent playmate. She can get in his way though, sometimes inserting herself into an otherwise carefully planned bit of hijinks and causing things to go awry.
Relationship ⋆ Acquaintances

Classical has a bit of disdain for Rocket's childish nature, and believes he has a lot of growing up to do still. However, his heart is in the right place, and she's content enough to rest under his watchful eye. Rocket things she needs to mellow out a little bit.
Relationship ⋆ Bros

Two bros spotting the shapes in clouds together. Zach makes an excellent sound board for ideas, and intimidating backup when Rocket needs to look fierce.
Relationship ⋆ Friends

Tia looks up to Rocket as a leader, hoping that she will one day have his level of self-assuredness.
Relationship ⋆ Tolerable

Renee thinks Rocket is a tiny little (definitely not the same height as her or anything) idiot with WAY too much confidence -- but she sticks around anyway. He tolerates her temper rather well, and doesn't hold it against her.
Rocket and Ciel mutually respect how genuine the other is - both openly speak their minds, even if they go about it a bit differently.
Rock on 🤘 Would love to like, idk, burn down a barn together or something

Estella and Rocket make excellent prank buddies. Estella's knowledge of human inventions, as a previously domestic WME, makes her an invaluable aid in getting up to new trouble. They love to hype each other up and scheme together.
Adonis is grateful to have a secure herd to call home, being rather timid when it comes to rival stallions. Rocket views him as a younger brother of sorts, and can be protective if his good nature is tread upon.

Honolulu acts as a surragate mother to Ladybird, treating her as her own foal. Honolulu may have some misconceptions about Lady's refined nature, and Lady does grow tired of her doting from time to time, but they're overall very close, and are almost always together.
Honolulu and Bruno openly consider each other soulmates. Bruno's relaxed nature compliments Hana's more outspoken boldness, and they're very devoted and affectionate. Honolulu is fiercely protective of him, and anyone speaking ill of him should expect a kick to the face.
What goes on behind those empty eyes... Honolulu doesn't care to know. She finds Mocha's chaotic, thoughtless nature irritating, and keeps her distance. Mocha isn't one to take a hint, but has enough other equids to interact with that they don't clash too much.
Honolulu views Classical as an intellectual equal, another mare of taste and wisdom. Classical thinks Honolulu could really use some time to self reflect and grow up.
These two don't interact much - vibes too different.
Honolulu LOVES to spill tea to Tia. Tia doesn't really get it, but she's always happy to listen.
Honolulu thinks Renee is a catty brat. Renee thinks Honolulu is a stuck up fool.
Honolulu Ciel
Both: "Girl needs an attitude adjustment."
Honolulu likes his moxie, just wishes he wouldn't hang out with Vatra all the time. He wonders why the old lady cares what he gets up to to begin with.
Prank budddiiiiieees!
Honolulu enjoys using Adonis as a sounding board, refining her storytelling skills while he snacks. He doesn't listen very closely, but enjoys the attention.
