History

Eahaela comes from a herd that was going through a decline. The land that they had laid claim to so long ago was failing even their low numbers. The mares of the highest quality were bred out to outside stallions in an attempt to strengthen the herd's bloodline, though many of the mares who were bred to the outside stallions were too frail to survive bearing a child and would perish during the birth. Therefore the breeder mares were given priority even over the defense stallions.

Eahaela's mother was one of the breeder mares. She was daughter to the leads, the herd princess, and she was rumored to be even more beautiful than mares that belonged to thriving herd lands. Her pregnancy was one celebrated. Throughout her time carrying there was talk of what was to be; the bad luck in speaking of what could be before it is was forgotten and the herd's princess birthed foals that were not in good health or form.

Due to the number of mares that passed on during giving birth there was a need for nurse mares and not even the children of a princess would be spared if they were unhealthy. Eahaela’s twin was given a name by their mother just in time for the herd guard to come and inspect him. Weak foals were thrown out into the desert to be reclaimed by the earth. Eahaela’s dam was nearly broken by the loss of her son. When the first signs of Eahaela's magic came to show, the ability to manipulate sands, her mother took it as a sign from the gods that her son was at peace with what had been done.

Living her first year in isolation Eahaela had time to develop her magic past the point of what most of her herd ever did. In the struggling herd magic was considered a frivolous pursuit. Eahaela was bored with her life and wished for more but did not have it in her to leave her mother alone; but the Eahaela's mother did not realize how dreadfully alone she left her daughter. Eahaela took to learning about the plants around her, she gave each a name and came to learn about each in turn.

A rogue came past Eahaela’s hideaway, and he was a dying man. The filly, then a yearling, tried to use her affinity with plants to heal him but she could do no more than soften his descent into the afterlife. She was enraptured with him and his stories. He told Eahaela that he had, in his satchel, the seeds of a tree nearly extinct. He begged her to chase his dream to see the plant flourish again. With his dying breath he gave Eahaela the gift of having purpose and he gave her the shove to leave her mother.

Two of Eahaela's three years of life were spent in hiding, with the third year began she has started to explore life.

Current Main Plot

I want for Eahaela to explore the lands learning more about plant life. I want for her to be throwing all of her efforts into finding the best place to plant the 'rare' seeds she has of a tree she was told to be nearly extinct.

Long story short I want for her to travel about trading her seeds for necessities until she gets down to the last few seeds. She would then become desperate and would show the seeds to someone she met that knew more about plants than she. The more knowledgable character would recognize the seeds to be of a common plant. If that character told her she would react lord only knows how and it would create a distance between herself and the one who told her. Eahaela would turn to her other friends for support. Plotting would continue from that path.
