Post color: #371500
Certed: Current
Uncerted: Basket | Foal | Adult
Personality:
Aviania is strict - however, rather than being strict with others, this mare is extremely strict with how she conducts herself. She is the current Queen of the The Flock and is quite an old mare IC age-wise, being an Elder as well. Despite her age though, Aviania is still extremely strong and agile, having been raised a warrior. She tries to follow Flock traditions and practices to a 'T', and only compromises them when she has to. Even then, she'll place rigid rules so as to stop her sisters from abusing the system. As such, she is naturally cold towards males as she refuses to allow herself to be anything but the "ideal Harpy", although she can be benevolent if they submit to her quietly. Secretly though, she doesn't mind a feisty male to tame~ However, catch her with one of her Flock's females, and you'll see a totally different side to her - concerned, caring and motherly.
The Flock is everything to her, and she places the lives of her sisters high above her own... Think of her as a sometimes overprotective parent - everything she does is with the Flock's interests in mind, even if they might not always agree with her methods. Of course, threaten to hurt her sisters and you'll soon have a sharp talon at your throat, male or female, young or old.
History:
Born to a mother who was a proud Guard and a father who... Well, didn't matter to her, Aviania wasn't born a very important filly in the Flock. However, as she possesses both the outward appearance and inner spirit of a true Harpy, the older Harpies had always thought well of her. Training both under the nannies as well as her mother, she grew to become out of the best warriors to "graduate" from foalhood. Immediately, she was recruited into Guards like her mother was and was quickly identified as a talent. When one of the Commanders died, a proud, young and foolish Aviania decided to take on the existing Commander... And failed miserably. The rank was then taken up the then Head Guard; having been injured, Aviania missed the chance to compete for the seat.
She was sent to the Temple of the Great Mother to be treated, and the elderly Oracle there prophesied great things in her future. Those words started a fire in her soul, and after making a full recovery, she trained harder and harder with her mother. On the day her mother died, Aviania promised to make something big of her life. She never stopped striving to be better, waiting for an opportunity to prove herself... It finally came when the older Commander died. By that time, Aviania was well into her adulthood and was a seasoned warrior. Fighting the previous Head Guard, her ex-superior, Aviania exhausted everything she knew to claim the destiny the Oracle had prophesied for her.
She succeeded.
It was a few more years before the Queen retired, and Aviania found herself trusted by the majority of the Flock with the highest honor a Harpy could ever achieve. Defeating her rival in both a spar and a vote, she rose to become the new Queen. After the old Oracle died, having lived long enough to see her visions come true, Aviania begun to forge a new, deep friendship with the new Oracle, Aylin.
