Description
EDIT - Added: face mask shape, some info on the mane, marker, and description on the sheet and artist commentsHmmmmmmmm...?
Collected thoughts on Penelopa's mate as a character. I created him so long ago and didn't introduce him properly yet D: Especially since he received a revamp, earlier he was a rose gray. This is how he USED TO look: [link] This pattern I gave him makes the probable future foals designing much more fun, if I decide on one. Don't think so though.
All the necessary info are added on the sheet, below I'll write some additional things about him as a character in WoD realia.
PRONOUNCED: Six-tey
SIRE: Garcelos
DAM: Imke
ALIVE SIBLINGS: Four sisters and a brother - older twin sister Liva, another older twin siblings Vjara (sister) and Carven (brother), and the eldest twin sisters Naka and Sama (yes, poor Imke had twins three times in a row
FAMILY: Penelopa (mate), Narayan (son, killed by a Northern underling), Midnight (daughter)
ABILITY: Among 6 children, only Sixte and Naka posess Signed traits. Sixte's talent, unlike many clearly creation/destruction based elemental skills given, affects himself only. He's capable of freely turning his own body into water, which makes it easy for him to melt and hide in a lake or form an innocent looking puddle. While in that state, he can still move around, switch places and attack (for instance when he almost drowned Meljanz by shoving a massive blast of water down his throat). Despite it sounding fancy, at the same it is quite useless for longer combats, as it exposes him to grave danger while battling Ice or Air elementals - water in this form could be easily boiled or frozen, which would result in Sixte's instant death.
PERSONALITY: In his younger age, he was known to be extremely disobedient and energetic, and wouldn't miss an opportunity to do something dangerous - his reckless behavior often brought him trouble, and though he never repeated the same mistakes, he constantly would come up with new adventure and exploration ideas. He harmonized with his elemental force under the eye of Naka, who taught him how to control it and use it fully - their father, even though Signed, was usually away from the family tribe. Because of that, Sixte has a close bond with both Naka, and his own twin sister [he used to spend a lot of time with Liva and play with her when they were younger]. He loved to do all his walks and exploring solo, making use of his ability to hide from danger. Despite knowing that no one who crossed the Illumica portal ever returned to Arthanai, he went through it and obviously, got trapped. Losing his wings and all abilities, and realizing that in the other world he was affected by aging and would eventually die, his energy turned into bitterness and he ceased all lonely walks, living a monotonous life. It was there and then when he met Penelopa. Though he saved her life, initially he was extremely unkind to her, criticizing her foolishness and even calling her a pest - however, reluctantly, in the end he decided to team up with her. The two often talked about their meaning of life and past achievements, and discussed finding a way to get back home. As time passed, Sixte realized that their points of view are often alike. Moreover, Penelopa's presence seemed to somewhat calm him down. An accident and loss of Penelopa's vessel body caused them to separate again, however the way of getting back they considered turned out to work and they were able to reunite some time later, this time in their proper forms and with all abilities.
Your thoughts?
If I ever manage to publish WoD and make a cinema film out of it [thought of a severed head lmfao], the only possible voice I find fitting for Sixte is the voice of Alessandro Juliani . Lol.

Why are all of your characters so dynamic and amazing?
Sixte is gorgeous! I LOVE his grey coloring, all of the different shades complement each other and he's very nice to look at. No harsh contrast or crazy markings. The marking on his shoulder is really neat.
Your characters are always so detailed in their characteristics and personalities, they're so much fun to read about, and I feel like I actually know something about the characters.

O rly they are? Well... I don't know why.
They seem to pop in my head out of nowhere and stay there until I bring them to life on dA.
Why thank you so much! I enjoyed every bit of revamping him and I'm also proud of the result. ^__^ Personally I hate harsh contrast and complicated markings and I tried to keep his design unique and yet simple. Still, he's a pain to draw, trust me
I think that if one wants their characters to be taken seriously and look mature, they should make their personalities and backstories a bit more detailed.
Thank you again!

ORLY yes they are! They're all so gorgeous.
You're welcome! He is such a cool guy, I've always loved somber-colored characters, and his design is just lovely!
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, I agree. And it's hard to keep track of markings sometimes, if that makes sense. I like to keep things realistic with a bit of an unnatural twist, if that makes sense. Like Amadeus' white face and markings. Although if there was really a horse like that that would be amazing!
Definitely! And you do that with your characters, I must say! It's nice to see someone pay sp much attention to their characters, and actually take the time to define them.
Always welcome!

I know what you mean, even markings that seem simple are a challenge in awkward angles or poses In artist's comments I've added his older design if you're interested - in my opinion, it was quite boring
The only problem is, that I'll have to alter his kids' coats and markings - I'm a gene nerd, and those I made under his older design no longer fit
I usually write down additional info that will be only briefly mentioned in my story, yet I think they may be interesting to someone

Yes! Ooh, I"ll go look at it. I didn't see it, I just quickly read through his info.
That's because gene info is epic! Reading about all of that stuff is so interesting.

Also he has such a gorgeous coat)))

Perhaps it's the fault of the contrast [on my laptop it looks okay ] , but if it is a problem, then I will lighten the background a little, so it hopefully will make the text readable
Well, he's a the one who plays quite an important role in my character roster, so I tried to make his personality a bit more complex
Why, thank you!

No no, I just didn't upload this deviation as a new one because I didn't want to clog my front page. So I replaced an old scrap of mine, which disappearance wouldn't be even noticed Those hidden comments referred to that old scrap, so they were about a totally different subject
