Nike

Appearance
Nike is a glossy sienna brown Pegasus mare with a gossamer pink mane and tail. Her wings are well-groomed and the feathers are an ethereal mix of snowy white, pastel pink, lilac, and icy blue with light gray stems. She is never seen without her translucent ribbons that shimmer with the exact colors of her wings. The ribbons are fastened around her hindquarters with a silver charm made from flawless opal and pearls. Around the forearms of her front fetlocks are tarnished silver, beautifully engraved pieces of armor.

Personality
Nike is known for her quest for excellence and beauty and only allows those with great taste into her herd. Despite being sweet and kind she's very competitive. Nike is described as noble, superior, flamboyant, confident, dutiful, hardworking, and ambitious. She is good-natured, but can be quite jealous at times. She cares a lot about her appearance and must be seen at her best at all times - she loves showing off and having beautiful objects. Despite her flaws she loves and cares about all foals.

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.

Magical Gift
Nike was born on Mount Olympus among the Greek gods. As a foal, she was captured by a giant, and Bella and Sara came to her rescue. Sara, admiring her bravery, made Nike a legendary horse. She helped build and rebuild Herd Airistos with its founder. Now, because of Sara's kindness, Nike spreads the kindness of this deed by bestowing good luck onto those most worthy. She assists King Uranus and Queen Anemone in ruling over the herd in the Windhome Skylands.

She is one of the fastest fliers in North of North, and her magic is steeped in the spirit of competition and victory based on personal excellence. Nike's magic can be seen visibly in the angelic butterfly fairies that circle her and the multicolored gossamer ribbons she wears. She is also able to use her powerful wings to create gusts of winds, powerful enough to even throw back wolves!

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

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

Location

Food
