Ice, forged in fire - Isilya&diplomats

[Isilya]

Things had been very exciting on the border of Tephra lately. So many new friends! Today, for once, she had not already been patrolling when she hears the call - but a blink later and she has stepped through one tree and appeared in another. She does not teleport directly to where the call had come from out of fear of spooking whoever had arrived (that simply would not make the best first impression!) so she appears a few dozen meters deep into the forest still and then winds her way forward. Today the vines that trail down her spine are decorated in deep purple and red roses, contrasting dramatically from the porcelain and gold colours of her coat. Though the flowers on her vines might change, her smile is as consistent as the tropical weather in Tephra - and just as warm when she spots the unknown stallion standing near the border. “Hello!” She calls as she weaves around the last few tree trunks separating them before coming to stop a companionable distance away. “Welcome to Tephra! I’m Isilya, can I help you with anything?”
