First Meeting
Hello. My name is... Snowfall. At least that's what I think my mother wanted to call me. I didn't think I had or needed a name, but I guess it suits me.
Greeting


Hello. How are you? I'm going to go patrol my old territory. I want to make sure no mountain lions or snow leopards have made themselves known in my absence.
Parting
​
Goodbye. If you need anything, I'll be in my den. Doing what? Um... sleeping I guess?
About Self: Solitude
​
After all it seems like I wasn't destined for a life alone in the mountains. However I do feel at home in the cold, and don't find sadness in being alone for an extended period of time. But now that I have the option to socialize with others... I don't think I could ever leave them forever.
About Self: Coat Pattern
​
I never had any thoughts about my appearance, but I find that I become more self-consious when Saudade is around. I now groom my tail and mane regularly. Appaloosa? Now you're just making up words.
Chat: Scratching Tree
​
I love pine trees. Their needles feel really nice when I have an itch on my back I can't reach. Unfortunately, my favorite scratching tree got swallowed by the avalanche.
Hobbies
​
Mountain rocks are unique. I have no idea where they come from, but pretty ones show up a lot when I'm patrolling. I have a collection. Scylla calls it a hoard. She might be right.
Annoyances
​
I don't like being teased for preferring cold weather. The only one who is allowed to do that is Scylla- since at least she learned not to judge.
Something to Share I
​
I speak with birds. Well… I guess that’s an over-exaggeration. I can understand their language but only to the point where they share what the weather is going to be like for the day. I can teach you what I know when you’re free.
Something to Share II
​
I can probably navigate the mountain crags with my eyes closed. There’s not much to do when you’re by yourself. Thankfully I haven’t been bored since joining the herd.
Knowledge
​
Snow is actually a good insulator. My Mother taught me how to make something called an “igloo” during the harsh winter storms. Even I’m not immune to subzero temperatures. This… was hard to accept when I was younger.
Favorite Food
​
Ice covered grass. I love to crunch, and it makes the grass so much juicer. I also like pine cones, but I’m not sure if I’m supposed to eat them…
Favorite Color
​
I’ve always found orange to be a pretty color- all shades of it. I only ever saw it during certain sunsets, so it was a rare delicacy. But now I’m not in the mountains as often I see orange everywhere. It’s nice, but I was afraid it would get old. But Saudade’s eyes keep it fresh in my mind. I think that’s my favorite shade of orange. …Don’t tell her I said that.
Chat: Summer
​
You would probably think Summer would be my least favorite season, but that’s not true. I quite enjoy summer. Yes I prefer the cold, but it’s still cold and snowy in the mountains during the summer. Summer is nice because there’s less ice. However I do spend less time in Mountain Glade territory due to the high heat.
About Scylla
​
She never grew out of calling me “Mr. Snowfall”. Don’t tell her this, but I actually like it. It makes me feel important. I owe her my life.
About Saudade
​
I find her rather intimidating. Not scary, she just makes me nervous. But I also never want her to leave my presence. It’s strange.
About Aventurine
​
I don’t know why Scylla continues to speak with him. How many times have they broken up? I’ve lost count. Hopefully they’ll both mature soon so I don’t have to provide “advice”.
About Boothill
​
Ugh.
About Mother I
​
I suppose my mother never truly left me. Sure, she physically disappeared, but spiritually I could hear her… guiding me. She never told me where she went, and if she would come back. So when I joined the herd… not hearing her anymore was strange. It was scary. My own thoughts were the only thing I heard inside my head, so now I have to learn to think for myself… I never realized she was atoning for abandoning me as a colt until she was gone, but perhaps that is what she wanted.
About Mother II
​
Did I ever love my mother? I… don’t know. I certainly resented her, even though she hadn’t left my head. I’ve learned from Scylla that having a warm body next to you is much better than being alone in the cold. My mother could’ve provided that support if she cared. But she cared enough to stay with me spiritually. It’s complicated. I wonder what happened to her that made her “return” to me.
