Let’s make a daisy chain, replace the sun with sky
Color Reference- Daisies are white, Kou is fully white
+ 1. Despite Neo pointing out that there are different color daisies, I have to pass this one. I googled "daisies", and the only images that showed up on the first general search were white with yellow centers.

The fact that imi also clearly got this clue (eye color ref and all) suggests to me that it was alright.
Gender Reference- Daisies are flowers, which are feminine, alluding to the fact that Kou is a mare
+ 0. Neutral. There is no real hint toward gender in this line, but it did not sway the opinion of the guesses either.
Appearance Reference- In the middle of a daisy is a yellow center, the 'sun'. Should you replace it with sky, blue, you will get Kou's eyes- blue eyes surrounded by the white of her body just as a blue center of a daisy would be surrounded by white petals
+ 1. Pass. This was a solid clue that was clearly understood.
Daisy chains are best for crowns, we learn to make as children
Species Reference- Crowns alludes to the fact she is a unicorn
+ 1. Pass. Crowns are pointy, horns are pointy. The brow is obviously not empty.
Lineage Reference- 'we learn to make as children' is a reference to her multiple foals with d'Art
- 1. Fail. I understand this clue, but to me it seems more like an age reference.
They smell so sweet, relaxing
Personality Reference- 'She's always got a smile on her face and has an air about her that could put anyone at ease' directly from her profile. Relax = to put at ease. She acts kind and unassuming, thus the 'sweet'
- 1. Fail. These lines are present in her personality section, but the truth about Kou's personality is very different, so I think this was misleading.
For example, this is at the tail end:
"She is secretly very conniving and no issues with aiding in the killing of someone who stands in the way of The Plague." -- not very sweet or relaxing.
Petal, petal, petal, petal, love me, love me not?
Age Reference- Kou is four years old, four petals (because this does not require knowing the previous lines, I believe this is allowed as it can stand alone in a line)
+ 0. Neutral. Would be a good metaphor for age, and did not require the understanding of other lines, but this line does not immediately make me think of age.
Lineage Reference- Four children; 'love me love me not' is supposed to make you think romance, 'love', to direct towards the children and her love of d'Artagnan
+ 1. Pass. Petals would be stemming from the main flower, so I think this is a great clue for children. c:
Daisies cover up the scent of blood- hush, don’t tell the reaper.
Personality Reference- 'She is secretly very conniving and no issues with aiding in the killing of someone who stands in the way of The Plague.' Her sweetness covers up her racism and few qualms with killing, 'scent of blood'. The reaper is d'Artagnan, who is bloody red, and also is a reference to how she acts kind when she is not, 'hush don't tell' would be a way to keep that secret
+ 1. Pass. This is much more the personality ref that fits her. However, I feel like "the reaper" would more obviously point to Deimos. Still, I think that would point even more in the general direction of the Basin, and not away from Kou.
Overall, this is a pass from me.
