History:
Legend has it that when the earth was young, two clans of unicorn roamed the earth in harmony. Each clan knew that they were created to keep order upon earth, and that if members of the two clans were to meet, the balance of nature would be dangerously disturbed.
Today's legends also include the lost city of Atlantis. Atlantis was indeed a vibrant city many millenia ago, and its loss was far from legend. In fact, Atlantis would still be a centre of commerce and wealth today, if two young unicorns, from opposing clans had not fallen in love.
The two young lovers knew of the dangers that their love possesed, and chose it ignore the warning signs, even after their meeting had caused the sinking of Atlantis. Both Unicorns were warned that their continued relationship would spell the doom of the young earth, but the two unicorns declared that their love for each other was so strong that it did not matter what happened to the rest of the earth, as long as they were together.
The gods that had created the unicorns were furious, but they did not wish to kill the beautiful creatures that they had created. Only one option was left to them.
On a wild and stormy day, the king of gods, and Mother Nature appeared before the two lovers, and pleaded with them one more time to forget their love for the sake of the earth. Again, the young unicorns declared that they could not part, for it would be just as devestating as their meeting. As they said this, a clap of thunder was heard, and two bolts of lightning shot down to the earth, engulfing the two unicorns, and knocking them out.
When the lovers awoke, the two gods had disappeared. Upon inspection, they discovered that their horns - the identifying feature of the unicorn- had been removed. The gods had punished the stubbornness of the two unicorns by making them mortal.
The young stallion and mare were forced to leave the sacred grounds of the unicorns, and into the world of the mortal horse, where they were able to breed and continue on their lineage. It is said that to this day their descendants walk the earth.
Such is the Family history of Cassiopeia's Evening Star, at least, so her family believes. No one has been able to prove it true, and no one has been able to prove it incorrect. Unfortunately, it has made her family a proud herd, and Cassiopeia is not an exeption.
From a young age, Cassiopeia was considered to be a great beauty, some day to find a handsome stallion and keep peace in the lands that she was born. By the herd rules, she was expected to remain completely faithful to whomever she,or her parents, chose for her. As a little filly, Cassiopeia often dreamt of a handsome stallion to love and to cherish forever.
At the age of two, Cassiopiea began to discover that there were many young and handsome colts to chose from, and all were just as delightful as the next. But two in particular caught her eye, and both were from neighboring herds. Cassiopeia was uncertain as to which stallion would be the better of the two, and she knew that she would have to become the mate to one of them, after all, it was herd tradition, and she couldn't upset her family.
Cassiopeia spent much time with both the stallions, and she certainly let each of them know about how much she loved them, her herd history (thus making her far more desirable then that "other little tart") and of course, their rival. After a month or two, the two stallions fought over Cassiopeia, and their right to claim her.
Unfortunately for Cassiopeia, the fight was too brutal for her to accept. She forced herself into the middle of the fray and sustained a kick to her gut. The two stallions immediately ended the fight to help her, but Cassiopeia was already dangerously ill. It took her a month to recover. Her family was disgusted with her, and although she was not banished form the herd for her inablility to remain faithful to one stallion, it was unbearable for Cassiopeia's parents. Out of respect for their pride, Cassiopeia removed herself from the herd not long after she had healed.
That was eight years ago, and Cassiopeia uses stallions like a horse uses hay, in the beginning, it all tastes good but soon after, they go their seperate ways, the nutrients stripped out, not to be used again. Part of it is simply her nature, Cassiopeia is a proud mare, and her beauty means that she can usually get whatever she likes. And she likes stallions. To be used as playthings, nothing more.
On the many occasions that she has been bred, nothing has resulted. Cassiopeia links this to the blow to the belly that she recieved many years ago. No scar remains, but she feels occasional pain, and to her, physical pain is weakness. No stallion alive today knows about the kick to the belly that she sustained when she was two.

"Pride builds character, Dearie"
From a young age, Cassiopeia was considered to be a great beauty, some day to find a handsome stallion and keep peace in the lands that she was born. By the herd rules, she was expected to remain completely faithful to whomever she,or her parents, chose for her.

"Yeah, well, fairytale endings don't exist in reality. Only little fillys have such pathetic dreams"
At the age of two, Cassiopiea began to discover that there were many young and handsome colts to chose from, and all were just as delightful as the next. But two in particular caught her eye, and both were from neighboring herds. Cassiopeia was uncertain as to which stallion would be the better of the two, and she knew that she would have to become the mate to one of them, after all, it was herd tradition, and she couldn't upset her family.
"Some traditions are stupid, and need to be broken, just like a male heart"
Cassiopeia spent much time with both the stallions, and she certainly let each of them know about how much she loved them, her herd history (thus making her far more desirable then that "other little tart") and of course, their rival. After a month or two, the two stallions fought over Cassiopeia, and their right to claim her.
"as fun as it was, it ended up biting me in the backside. Hard"
Unfortunately for Cassiopeia, the fight was too brutal for her to accept. She forced herself into the middle of the fray and sustained a kick to her gut.

"New beginnings are complete and utter lie. Old scars and old habits just refuse to leave me alone"
That was eight years ago, and Cassiopeia uses stallions like a horse uses hay, in the beginning, it all tastes good but soon after, they go their seperate ways, the nutrients stripped out, not to be used again. Part of it is simply her nature, Cassiopeia is a proud mare, and her beauty means that she can usually get whatever she likes. And she likes stallions. To be used as playthings, nothing more.

I am Blessed with Beauty, Grace and Dignity. I come here to make fools of your stallions and fillies of your mares. I laugh, love and lose, often on the same day, but it makes me no less ignoble. I am Cassiopeia's Evening Star.
Are you ready for me?
