Ursula
Once grey hooves now brown, sunk into thick clay like mud. A spine chilling wind danced around her hooves and made it's way up to the hooves master's spine. Ursula continuously shook as she took the land in. It was a lot different here than Canaa, her old home which she had no choice to leave. Once a sunny paradise now in a rainy depression state land, Ursula could hardly adjust. But it wouldn't take her long for she was a very quick adapter. In just a few months it would look as if she lived here all her life.
Ursula observed the land and took it all in. It was a long trip and she'd need a place to sleep soon. Not that it mattered you could barely see through the mist. Ursula looked up into the sky and one small water drop splashed right between her two nostrils. Within seconds the rain started to down pour. She looked for some cover, but all she could see was a mountain. Better than nothing I guess. And so she made her way to wards the mountain. As she got closer it was a lot bigger than it had appeared to her before.
The mare had no time to debate if she should climb the mountain or not, so she decided to proceed. As it turns out the footing was even worse in the mountain than it was in the mud. Ursula figured she might as well not turn back now, and so she continued. Finally at the top, Ursula discovered a cave. She bolted in and laid down right in the door way. She laughed at how rough this land was and how terrible it would be to another newcomer. Yet she liked and and declared, "This land, Pioggia , is now mine. And I am Ursula!"
Pioggia is a land where it rains twenty two hours a day. There is always a thick fog that only parts when some one runs through the mist, and then quickly closed behind them. Due to the nearly continuous rain, the ground is a think clay like mud. The mud quickly make any hoof or paw sink, which makes it very dangerous to run in. The mountain is extremely high, has terrible footing, and at the top there is a huge cave.
