Appearance

16.2 hands high | Five Tallsuns of age | Warlander X Pintabian | Unicorn

Tilney is a stallion blessed with beauty. With a golden, shimmering pelt he could charm the birds to sing for him on a good day. His emerald eyes reflect the minty grass he was raised upon. While his marble, creamy coloured hooves imitate the sandstone rocks that littered his every horizon as a colt.

His most outstanding feature is the remarkable marking printed right into his left shoulder. It resembles a dead tree almost completely. This stallions other markings include four neat white socks, his front left sock stretching up to meet with his tree-like marking and complete it. He has a neat, snip which curls over his nostrils and finishes in a point up towards his ears and the hair which flows from his neck and dock are a pale cream. These flaxen locks are so long, his tail trails along the ground behind him and his mane isnt much short of the ground either. Behind golden ears are his trusty antlers. Deep, rich in mahogany colour they (do what they can to) provide him with protection. Strung to a sharp notch in the middle of his tall antlers is an old, beaten lantern. It used to come afire with his mothers magic and help him see through the night; being completely nightblind, it was necessary. Now it is dull and beaten and certainly hasnt aided him to see at night for a while. Tilney believes it is waiting for someone new to set it alight.

In short, Tilney is a flaxen chestnut with four neat socks and a snip. He has a large marking of a dead tree stretched up his shoulder and neck, across part of his ribs. He is the owner of a pair of antlers which carry and old beaten lantern which used to help him see at night as he is nightblind.

Wardrobe & Items;

Cloak - Since his entry to the basin Tilney found it very hard to keep warm, and so was fashioned a mossy green cape. It straps with two dark brown leather straps over his chest and blankets his rump, brushing the middle of his hocks. It takes time to take on or off and often requires assistance, but whenever leaving the cold north he will often shed his cloak, leaving it in the hollows of trees to pick up on his return home to the basin.

Lions Mane Collar - The mane of a Transvaal lion can be seen wrapped around tilneys shoulders, complimenting his green cloak. The colour of the mane is a middle shade between his hair and hide; Darker then his mane, lighter then his chestnut coat. Colour.

Voice;

Tilney's voice

Accent is for the most part Mancunian with gaelic hints.

Personality

This is a stallion with alot to learn despite the worldliness he displays. He advertises a wise character when really it is just a slightly masked arrogance. However, he has a witt and charm not to be missed, and he is as gentle as a doe. He is the type of stag who would win you over in an arguement, but alot less likely in a physical fight. His combat skills are on the lower end of average and he isnt exactly an advocate for violence anyway. He'd much preffer to chat about his problems.

Tilney has one of the truest and most honest hearts you will encounter, although he does love to tease. Despite his naiveness he can easily outsmart or outwit you, but it is always lighthearted and never to cause any kind of hurt.

A Stallion who loves to walk and explore, He has a wanderlust that will perhaps never be satisfied. He takes absolute delight in nature, birdsong and he finds beauty in the saddest of places.

Tilney currently has no mate. He is still young and both his heart and innocence remains unbroken. With a huge capacity to love Tilney is entirely Pansexual (gender blind).

He believes in true love and one partner for life.

Tilney's sister Carlisle was killed in a violent altercation and such a positive mind such as his couldn't bare the news of her death. The memory he once carried of his brother explaining to him how she died has been totally blocked from his mind, hence she lives on in his imagination. He still sees her every day, runs with her and talks to her like she never passed away. He does not know however that she is a figment of his imagination and simply does not exist. She tends to sneak off when he is with REAL company, and then present herself again when he is alone. He can often be found talking to "Carlisle" when really he is talking to the air.
