Appearance
Wichita is a light brown mare with black on her snout and a white stripe running down her forehead. Her black hair and mane are tied into many tiny braids, and decorated with flowers. On her stomach, she has a scene of Wichita daily life painted. She wears decorative leather bracers on her legs as well.

Tribe
The tribe this steed is based on were located in North Texas. Because of their custom of tattooing the area around their eyes, they became known as the Raccoon People. The Wichita were skilled builders of wickiups, which were semi-permanent. They left these dwellings in the winter to go north to hunt the buffalo. They were skilled in growing corn (maize).
