Valeryk

Appearance
Valeryk was a blue-white draft horse with feathered hooves and a knotted blue mane and tail.

As a Carousel Horse, they wear a decorative blue blanket and a black halter, saddle, and breastplate decorated with golden studs.

Personality
Valeryk was a strong, courageous, yet gentle horse who understood how important receiving love was: no matter how mature they were, Valeryk appreciated all acts of kindness and always had the courage to ask for companionship with other creatures. With these values in mind, Valeryk founded Herd Valeryk.

History
To ensure Herd Valeryk's safety, Sara gave Valeryk a magical pendant that allowed them to communicate with Sigga and other herd leaders across North of North.

When Sigga left North of North, Feral and the Wolf Riders attacked Rolandsgaard Castle, and Valeryk tragically lost their life defending the castle. With Valeryk's death, Herd Valeryk's magical pendant also disappeared. [1]

Name Game
Valeryk may be based off of the Russian and Latin name, "Valerik", which means "Brave" or "Valiant" respectively.
