PHYSICAL. arondel is a black tobiano stallion. he weighs twelve hundred pounds and stands sixteen point two hands tall. del is a very lean and strong stallion who's quick on his feet. his coat is surprisingly well kept for a wild horse because he occasionally washes off in the ocean, giving his coat a temporary shiny sheen. his coat is made up of blotches of black and white. it appears that a young child picked him up, then an all white horse, grabbed some black paint and began to cover him in it, but then was called away, leaving the masterpiece unfinished. his mane is half black and half white, while his tail is a solid ebony black. thanks to his occasional baths int eh sea, the hairs in his mane and tail are very strong and don't break or tangle as often as they would if they didn't get a little salt on them. his eyes are a strange hue, almost resembling his coat color. they are a silvery coloration, much like the moon. del's pupils stand out starkly from the shade. in certain light, his eyes can appear very haunting and almost ghost-like. arondel's only marking is a thick blaze running down the front of his face. his hooves, when clean, are all a peachy color, thanks to his legs being white.

PERSONALITY. arondel believes strongly in the enhancement and usage of the mind, especially against others. he has trained his brain to think quickly and decipher difficult puzzles that often come up in the game of life. however, as clever as he is, he isn't very socially smart. arondel often doesn't realize how hurtful his words are. his sense of humor is to sarcastically make fun of others to their face, but more often than not, they take it the wrong way and get hurt. he enjoys getting into verbal fights, just for the enjoyment of slamming others. physical fights come in a close second.
arondel considers himself to be the best of the best and is often confused why all the mares aren't vying for his affections, even if they are more highly respected then himself. he's on a quest to breed the perfect foal to be destined for greatness of some sort. he believes that if he isn't well-loved now, he will be after his perfect child solves everyone's problems, which is totally possible. sometimes arondel is too blinded by his ambitions for his common sense to kick in and give him a good whack on the head.
arondel's three biggest fears are wolves (specifically angry ones), making a fool of himself, and dying. arondel has always been very afraid of wolves, even if he doesn't show it. his parents' death has left such an emotional scar on him that he stereotypes all wolves to be heartless, cruel killers. del, being such an intelligent horse, is terrified of making a fool of himself. with such a bright mind, he feels like he has a reputation to uphold as such, and if he fails to do so, others will start to think it is a front. honestly, who isn't afraid of death? this fear is almost primal for arondel. he's terrified of losing everything: his friends, his life, and the most important thing of all, himself.
arondel has always been easily annoyed by animals who pity themselves. "oh our lives are so horrible! won't you help us? oh, i could just die right now! oh, oh!" he thinks they should get over themselves and take a step into the real world. how ironic that his next pet peeve is animals like himself who think they're better than everyone! it is natural, after all, that if someone challenges your belief that you are the best that you will butt heads with them. arondel's next biggest pet peeve is being dirty. it's not like he is afraid to get dirty, such as rolling in the mud or running around in the dust; he just doesn't like being dirty after the fact. as with every arrogant creature, he doesn't like being told what to do. even if he agrees, he won't do it because he feels that following orders makes him appear submissive. the only time he will listen is if it is a life or death situation. his final pet peeve is getting scared. he simply does not like the feeling and is constantly trying to train himself to be fearless.
MOTHER. gwendolyn, deceased.
FATHER. cisco, presumed dead.
SIBLINGS. none.
HISTORY. arondel was born to two very civilized horses by the name of cisco and gwendolyn. cisco was a strong buckskin tobiano stallion, and gwendolyn was a beautiful black filly. gwendolyn, affectionately called gwen by his father, had insisted on naming her firstborn arondel, an old english name meaning eagle valley. however, the two were quite surprised when they noticed their son had strange silvery eyes. it was quite remarkable to them how this occurred, since both of them had dark brown eyes. while other may have said it was bad luck, his parents ignored their warnings and continued caring for him with all of the love they had. cisco and gwen worked hard to teach their son the values of intelligence and being courteous to others, but del wasn't very interested in being nice. he was quite rude to other foals his age, using his quick witted intelligence against them. as a result, he was often cast out for being a bully, much to his parents' disappointment. it took the young colt a while to realize that his actions had consequences, and when he learned to hold his tongue, he was accepted into the group. however, some were still wary of him for being the colt with ghost-like eyes.
as arondel aged, he took on a more egotistic personality. he became arrogant, competitive, and incredibly sarcastic. his parents didn't know what to do with a rebellious yearling like himself. with his new found sense of superiority came an interest in fillies. arondel was extremely flirtatious, or at least he tried to be. he could never grasp why the mares weren't interested when in truth they wee driven away by his blunt comments and often what we would call nerdy actions. he never really gave up on the females, but we could say he became less interested.
one day, news came that his mother was found dead by the ocean. the culprit was supposedly a rogue group of wolves. they had mauled gwendolyn so much that one could barely identify her. arondel and cisco were shattered. gwen had always been there to hold the family together and was the kindest and most loving horse they'd ever met. cisco was furious. any forgiveness or pity he had once had was gone. the buckskin left arondel on a quest to find gwendolyn's killers. he never came back. arondel was two. ever since then, arondel has been terrified of wolves. he knows them only as bloodthirsty, cold-hearted creatures. he has never found his father, nor has he found his mother's killers. but he will never stop searching.
