Anemone

Appearance
Anemone is a beautiful cream pegasus mare with a rich coral mane and tail and swirly, rich, coral butterfly-shaped wings. Her coat is tinted with bubblegum-pink, and her mane and tail have a hint of magenta in them that match her coat perfectly. Her hair is woven with Cloud Blossoms- delicate, white, four-petaled flowers that grow within the clouds. Her wings are the same color as her mane and tail, but have swirls of light pink in them as well.

Anemone is largely considered one of the most beautiful mares in North of North by many horses and humans.

Personality
Anemone is a gentle and loving mare who always finds something to love in those around her. She doesn't hold on to anger and loves even those who may have wronged her in the past.

Magical Gift
She holds the power to herd the clouds with the help of the Whiffle Bears. She summons rainclouds and blocks the sun to make it cooler, and blows the clouds away to let the sun shine through.

Uranus
Uranus is Anemone's mate and the king of Herd Airistos. Though she didn't want anything to do with the proud stallion at first, Uranus's persistence and perception ultimately won Anemone over. Uranus noticed her love of the Cloud Blossoms and that they were the only flowers that grew where she lived. He paid a visit to Rosebriar, and returned to Anemone with a single rose. She finally took notice and the two have been together since.

Cirra and Ebenos
Anemone and Uranus have two foals: a filly, Cirra, and a colt, Ebenos.

Whiffle Bear
Anemone's closest magical friends are the whiffle bears. They enjoy flying through the clouds together and decorating each other with beautiful flowers.

The Name Game
Anemone's name comes from the Greek word for the four winds: Anemoi. In mythological terms, the four winds (north, east, south, west) were Boreas, Notus, Eurus, and Zephyrus. Two of these names are actually horses in Herd Airistos, Notos is the Keeper of the Summer Winds, and Zephyros is the herd Steward. Boreas is in Herd Starlight, and Euros is in an unknown herd.

Anemone may also be named after the species of flower sharing the same name. The flowers are small perennial flowers with many different variations. Some variations come in similar colors of white and red to Anemone. According to Greek legend, the flowers were created by the goddess Venus when she sprinkled the blood of her dead lover Adonis. The petals are supposedly fragile and easily blown away, similar to the state of Venus' emotions during this time.
