Personality:
Arrogant and take in charge by nature, Adonis was the Prince in his original herd, but because it was decimated by humans, he and Dinali had to go in search for another herd. After a couple of years they encountered Devarsi's herd, and unfortunately for Devarsi, Adonis did not approve of his leadership, and made it pretty clear by his rather demeaning treatment towards the young Prime. While he can be kind hearted and eager to help others from the herd, he strives to give Devi a hard time, and usually relishes when he sees him stumbling on decisions, although he does play a small hand in giving Blossom hints to help him if need be from time to time.

Personality:
Plump, friendly and a bit on the lazy side, Gorrion is a lovable ball of fluff. Content to stay on the background, Gorrion loves to hear the talk of other goennecs, although he rarely participates in the conversations themselves, his mouth usually full of grass he just picked to nibble on while listening to the others. Despite his remarkably high reputation in the herd despite his lack of fighting or hunting skills, no one dares trust Gorrion with a secret, knowing the poor bloke will certainly tell it on, no doubt by accident as it slips out on some casual conversation with another goennec in the herd.

Personality:
Curious - Helena is exceedingly curious, and not just for herbs and flowers, but for the world around her. She is usually seen asking questions or getting her nose into troublesome situations.
Feminine - This is not to say flirty, as poor Helena does not know the first thing about it, but there is an obvious femininity to her, both by how she acts and speaks. She is quite graceful when walking around with others, and her voice is a soft, mellow voice that tends to make up for her lack of knowledge in the 'art of flirting'. Her feminine charms are more useful to her than she knows. Why, if it wasn't for them, she would probably have a lot of angry rams at her for all the times she has nearly poisoned their bellies with her horrible 'energy' mixtures.
Playful - This isn't something blatantly obvious about the doe, but the more one talks to her, the more you realize that everything she does is like a game. While her play time does not involve running around and butting heads with others like it is expected of kids and... certain rams (we are looking at you, Sam), her fascination with herbs and her constant experiments can only be compared to a kid playing. Her eyes shine with glee and her step gains a bouncy step to it that makes her seem almost as though if she were hopping around. This playfulness of hers can be seen in other aspects of her daily life, such as hunting. Unfortunately, due to her rather giddy and enthusiastic behavior when doing so, this makes her a rather poor hunter. Gratefully, Helena is much more at home gracing and simply sharing an occasional rabbit with Gorrion.
Eccentric - Helena doesn't consider herself eccentric in the slightest, but ask enough of her herd mates, and that is definitely what she will be described as. Her obsession with herbs has pegged her as such. In fact, whenever she goes off in search of herbs, it is not rare to see one state that Helena has entered her 'herbomaniac' trance again.
Chatty - And not just a little chatty either. Helena will not shut up! Gratefully, Gorrion seems to be very amused by her constant talking and is more than happy to keep her company despite this (as long as she isn't trying to get him to eat one of her strange herb mixes). However, most other goennecs aren't quite as complacent as Gorrion is, and normally grow rather uncomfortable when they begin to lose track of what she is talking about.
An honorable soldier who is always eager to please those around him and bring smiles to the faces of others, Moss has earned the approving nod of many from the herd. Because of this, he tends to be able to get away with his flirtatious tendencies, smooth talking both females and the occasional male that permits it. Happiest when spending the day in the company of others, one of his many guilty pleasures is hearing Northern Light's stories, making sure to bring him a rabbit for his time, knowing the spacey male tends to forget to hunt, his mind never really where his hoofs are. His one downfall tends to be days with blazing heat, in which his fear gets the better of him and he tends to get more in the way than help in his frantic mood. The one goennec that can calm him during these days tends to be Doe, and even then he may turn a deaf ear on the spotted female until the day cools off.

Personality:
Tactless - While not meaning to come off as rude or cold, Opaline tends to lack any form of tact, usually a byproduct of her blurting out whatever she is thinking without considering things through. This unfortunate quirk of hers tends to get her glares from angry herd mates or hurt looks. Opaline doesn't normally realize she has said anything wrong, and immediately becomes confused at the other's reaction to her words. Whenever her lack of tact is brought to her attention, however, she is quick to apologize, usually embarrassed at having caused any sort of discomfort.
Quick Tempered - Despite her calm look and usually friendly - or at least as friendly as she can get before she accidentally insults someone - disposition, Opaline is not anyone would like to anger. Rather large built for a doe, Opaline has a temper to match her height, and is quick to get angry if she doesn't understand something or senses something is wrong. Most goennecs tend to shy away from her the second she stomps a hoof on the ground, afraid of being the ones that end up on the receiving end of one of her rages.
Stubborn - In no way close minded, there is no denying how stubborn this doe can be. If Opaline is certain she is correct, she will not hesitate to cling to her own ideas or plans, yielding only when a reasonable argument is given as to why she should change tactics, and even then, this isn't a regular occurrence. The only one who tends to be able to make her regain any sense of mind during one of her stubborn streaks is Adonis, whom has earned Opaline's respect by demonstrating to have a good, reasonable mind himself.
Loving - In spite of her many flaws, Opaline is actually a very loving doe. She cares very deeply for her friends and herd mates even if she doesn't show it very often. When it comes to one being in danger, however, she can be very passionate, having a hard time hiding her worry or concern. Once the moment or danger has passed, Opaline tends be rather awkward and shy, very self conscious of how rash she acted, especially if praise is given.

Personality:
Feminine and graceful around males, River Song is mostly a naive tomboy of two years old. Usually happy and smiling, River Song loves the spring and the life it brings, usually singing songs along the birds that flutter in the sky. Sharing a high friendship bond with Sihir, River Song is a bit reluctant to admit the fact that she is an adult and embrace her new status as a Soldier in the herd, and goes to her for fun and games when she gets bored around the iddle chitter chatter that tends to accompany the older members of the herd.

Personality:
A high class show goennec reduced to be a pet when rules were changed regarding the standards on show goennecs, Washington fell into depression and hatred of his old servants when he was sold to another family so late in his life. Having met Adonis and Dinali as they were making their way to Devarsi's herd, he joined them in desperation, having seen the decline most male goennecs in his area seemed to have befallen shortly after their visit to who was known as 'the cutter'. While he refused to hunt or do any work that might hurt his delicate paw pads at first, he soon realized he was forced to depend on others as well as himself if he wished to survive, and his keen knowledge of humans as well as high strength, making him a valuable asset to the small group until they met up with the herd. He tends to ramble about his days as a Prime in his old territory to anyone who is willing to listen, usually a very interested Dew who seems to get along oddly well with the arrogant stag.

Personality:
Broken - Having once been a proud, strong soldier despite his diminutive stature, Squiddle feels as though if he is living someone else's life, or he is being punished for something he must have obviously done wrong. He sometimes wishes to participate actively in the Siv, or help hunting for the herd, but then his leg pulls him back to reality, his limp eternally getting in the way. Being unable to accept his current situation, he has grown bitter and tends to pull away from most goennecs, showing his much gentler side, however rough that is, to select, few members of the herd.
Stern - While a peasant in status, Squiddle has a very stern air about him, his voice being very clear when he speaks, making it obvious when he means business. The bitterness in his voice makes even his gentler compliments seemingly rude in tone, and his harsh gaze isn't a very good aid to this. Despite this, those who know him well enough have learned to understand that he doesn't always mean to sound as though if he were reprimanding, even though he does that more often than a doe with a newly born kid.
Loud - Squiddle's small build is home to a very big personality, and he is not afraid of letting it be known. Acting like a much bigger ram, others tend to find him rather comical, something he despises. He will quickly start attacking anyone who makes a comment about how he is smaller than most does, making his horns ram against the other's side. Back when he was fit and healthy, he would have easily beaten the enemy ram quickly, earning respect for his strength and quick footing. Now that he is so slow in battle, however, it isn't too unusual to see him losing, simply adding to the humiliation of having been called small. Not taking these defeats lightly, he will take to yelling at his adversary, normally resorting to a couple of curses and swears that make most nursing does guide their kids away.
Proud - Despite his continuous feeling of uselessness, Squiddle is a very proud little man. He has no regrets on acting the way he did, and believes that his limp should not give him the status of peasant, but of elder, as he has seen his share of battles in his long life, or rather long by his old herd's life expectancy, which wasn't often past 20. He refuses to bow to anyone but the Prime and Prince, and is quick to snarl and swear at anyone who dares mock him in any way.
Shy and a disgrace in his mother's eyes, Todd is gentle and caring, and very gentlemanly... that is, if he can stay around long enough to be a gentleman. His cowardice normally gets the better of him, and he will run away calling for his mother as soon as he feels threatened.

Personality:
A loving and beautiful doe that is easily one of the most desirable females in the herd, Venus has never been the type to let this get to her. Knowing that in the end the only thing she will be there for is as property for a male's status, she tends to be a bitter on the subject. She is, however, always up for a good chatter, and as most females, she loves looking after kids. She envies the life that Ethan leads, wishing that she could be as free to chose her status in the herd as he is. Because of her obvious infatuation with the gray ram, and because of her less than amicable nature with him, she is one of Cecil's biggest headaches in the harem, remaining in it only to enhance the golden ram's posture by enhancing his numbers with such a popular doe.
