Nike

Appearance
Nike is a brown winged mare with green eyes and a light pink mane and tail. Her angelic wings are an ethereal mix of snowy white, pastel pink, lilac, and icy blue feathers.

In Bella Sara Adventures, Nike has a swirling brown and gold marking on her forehead.

Fastened to a silver and opal belt is a flowing gossamer ribbon that drapes around her neck and trails behind her. Around her forearms are engraved pieces of silver armor.

Personality
Nike is a competitive horse dedicated to her quest for personal excellence and growth. These qualities make her the ideal patron of Herd Airistos. She carries herself with a regal air of superiority and confidence and is dutiful and hardworking in all that she does.

Magical Gift
Nike's confident nature helps inspire those around her, and she can bestow good luck onto those most worthy. Her magic can be seen visibly in the angelic butterfly fairies that circle her and the multicolored gossamer ribbons she wears.

Fiercely competitive, Nike is one of the fastest fliers in North of North, and her wings can create powerful gusts of winds.

History
Nike was born on Mount Olympus among the horses of Greek gods. As a foal, she was captured by a giant, and Bella and Sara came to her rescue. Sara, admiring Nike's bravery, made her a legendary horse.

When she was a yearling, Nike met Fiona, Jewel, and Thunder by chance at Teardrop Lake during the 100th Anniversary of Trail's End. Sara appeared to the Legendary Horses and told them about Fabel, the keeper of The Patchwork: a magical tapestry that showed the past, present, and future.

Looking into the waters of Teardrop Lake, the four horses and Sara saw Fabel and the future woven in her tapestry: they saw Sigga's banishment and the degradation of Trail's End, but they also saw the return of Sigga's descendant, Emma, and unity she would bring. From that moment on, Nike was connected to the other Legendary Horses in their mission to inspire their herds during the coming hardships and assist Emma in healing the land when the time would come.

Bella and Sara
Bella and Sara helped rescue Nike from a giant that had kidnapped her when she was young. When Sara saw Nike's bravery, she blessed Nike to the ranks of legend. Years later, Nike would reunite with the two at Teardrop Lake during Trail's End 100th Anniversary and learn of her destiny.

Fiona, Jewel, and Thunder
Nike met Fiona, Jewel, and Thunder by complete chance when they were just yearlings during Trail's End 100th Anniversary. The four are known as the Legendary Horses and their legendary deeds have been renowned across North of North.

Flame
Nike's mate is the hot blood horse, Flame

Addis, Emberic, and Helia
Nike and Flame have three foals: Emberic, Helia, and Addis.

The Name Game
In Greek Mythology, Nike is a goddess of Victory. Her Roman equivalent was Victoria. Sculptures of Nike's likeness were extremely popular in ancient Greece, but very few shrines or sanctuaries were dedicated solely to the goddess.

Location
Nike is found in the Overgaard Skylands.

Food
Nike's favorite food is a lemon-lime.

Adventures
Unlocking Nike's chibi code gives you the adventure, "Perfume Potion #9."

Trivia
Interestingly, while Nike is declared a legendary horse in lore, she is not given the same treatment as the other legendary horses throughout the card series. She is used widely in Bella Sara merchandise like the other legendary horses, but she makes her first appearance in Ancient Lights, unlike the other four who have been in the card sets since Danish Silver (aside from Fiona: she first appeared in Danish Copper). She is not present in Native Lights alongside the other four, nor Magical Friends. In Baby Bella, only she and Bella have foals, and Nike does not have an individual card like any of the other legendary horses.
