Happy Fall Equinox! Enter here!

We have a new way to enter the raffle! You can enter and (optionally) donate still as normal, BUT if you’d like to create a trait, you get one additional entry and another bonus entry if you create a trait that is fall-themed. Yes, that means you can have up to four entries. Don’t worry about the name/space/definition being perfect, just give us a suggested Name (Space): Definition and we’ll edit it as needed. These newly created traits WILL be given out for the raffle!

RULES

• Everyone who responds gets one free raffle entry, donating a trait (or traits) gives you one extra entry, as does creating a new trait and creating a new fall-themed trait
  
• Players can only donate expressed traits, whether they be genetic or non-genetic.
  
• Traits donated by players will be given out (up to 15 - donations after that will be stored for the next raffle)
  
• If there are fewer than 10 donations, BQ will step in and donate some of her own
  
• Everyone who doesn’t win gets their entry moved to the next raffle. These entries can carry over 3 times (giving you 4 chances to win), after which they will expire
  
• Players can’t win more than one trait per raffle
  
• If you don’t want the trait you win, you are welcome to donate it right back! You will still get your additional entry carried over to the next raffle
  
• 0-space trait prizes can be used on any character
  
• 1+ space trait prizes can’t be used on a horse that currently has more than 5 spaces of traits
  
• Entries will be open until September 29th at 11:59 PM US CST.

@Prism: Straw hair (0): Character has hair made of straw or hay. User can eat their own hair but it takes a while to grow back.
@phaetra: Thestral (3): A haunting version of a pegasus, thestrals have an emaciated form and large, bat-like wings.

If mortally wounded, the user can regrow from scattered seeds. Characters have an inexplicable fear of deer, squirrels, and large cats.
@Radar: Exorcism (3): Resistant to traits like possession, enthrallment, and/or compulsion and able to heal/free other equines from the effects of these traits by forcible removal. The stronger the possessing entity is, the more difficult the removal process will be leading to exhaustion and/or great physical pain.
