Noma
Mostly, the Pampas is dormant for the winter. Snow blankets the deep sweet grasses, and where the wind brushes the snow away from the ground, frost still turns the foliage below to silver-tipped decoration. Her very bright world has gone to muted monochromes, and so now instead of being one bright thing amongst the wildflowers her mother so adores, her copper-and-gold pelt is the brightest thing around, adorned as she is by ever-grooming flowers wound into her mane and tail.
The filly is playing by herself, frolicking in the shallow snow as puffs of white powder are kicked up around her feet. Spinning, spinning, dancing amongst the imaginary other creatures only she can see. An obstacle course, a race, a quest – even she is surprised and shocked out of her imagination when a spin ends and she’s faced with someone who is very much not a part of her vivid fantasies. She hasn’t met many strangers in her life, but she does remember her mother’s lecture about what’s ‘polite’, and it stops her from rushing forward to enthusiastically greet the mare.
It doesn’t stop her from taking a couple of bouncing, sudden steps forward and smiles, as she tries for words that don’t trip off her tongue. “H-hi!” she stammers, head tilted. “I’m Noma! Are you new here?”
