Thunder



Herd: Valeryk

Title: Patron of Herd Valeryk

Family: None known

''Thunder is one of the four legendary horses of Bella Sara. He is known for his courage and strength, and is friends with the Blackcomb Lion, a strong Lion with a black blaze in its mane and a golden pelt, who shares his courage and strength. He has no family that is known, meaning he has no mate or foal on record.''

Appearance
Thunder is a night black stallion (with the exception of a blueish tint) with a wild black mane and tail. He has a white symbol on his left hind-quarters in the shape of a lightning bolt branching out, and thick feathering on his fetlocks. The light shines off of his coat in a way that makes it look polished. If he stomps his polished charcoal, with a slight brown tint hooves hard enough, lightning bolts shoot from them and storms wage wars against each other. Wherever he goes, a raging thunderstorm follows with added tornados to add effect. He has midnight black, cold eyes, and resembles a Friesian due to his heavily muscled and thick build, and his heavy feathering around his coal hooves. His mane and tail have a glossy appearance to them and always have a slight wave in them, as the billow in the wind of his thunderstorms. He has an extremely muscular build and nostrils that seem constantly flared, along with a broad head and neck that make for a solid looking body. In the picture above Thunder is seen with his best friend, the Blackcomb Lion, named after it's habitat the Darkcomb forest, you can see the resemblance in the serious expressions and muscular builds of the two friends.

History
Thunder was born in the middle of a raging thunderstorm, when Sara and Bella found him, they admired his courage and bravery enough to make him a Legendary Horse. When Sigga was banished, he was named patron of Herd Valeryk and helped rebuild it with the founder, Valeryk. Now he helps rule it with King Sleetmane and Queen Snowdreamer.

Personality
Thunder may be known for his courage, but he cares and protects those he loves with such intensity that almost no one dares attack him. He also has a soft spot for foals, though he doesn't like to admit it, as he likes to keep up a serious manner, but deep down he loves to play with all foals. It is said that he may of had a foal once but it died from unknown causes which may be the reason for the constant sad aurora that surrounds him whenever he is alone.

Magical Gift
Thunder was born in the heart of a storm. He took his first steps through blinding lightning and howling winds. He is able to summon lightning from the sky, and when he stomps his hooves lightning bolts shoot from them. And he masters the storms now with a strength unlike no other.

Family
It is unknown whether or not Thunder ever mated or had a foal/Sweetheart, he definitely has never shown much interest in a mate or Sweetheart, but he loves foals with an intensity rivaled by very few, and it makes you wonder whether or not he used to have a foal and if it perished or was lost forever in a wilderness.
