Oh my word... I haven't been on since March of this year, and came back once I recieved an email saying my account would be deleted soon if I didn't log in.
I'm trying to figure out whether it is wise for me to come back at all; I am in the midst of my junior year at college and I think it is the hardest semester I've had yet.
I am so, so sorry to all my friends for not having given you a heads up, especially my roleplaying partners.
I will likely take a break from roleplaying, as I am an English (Creative Writing) major and many of those writing assignments get in the way of writing for fun.

Me
Yes, my name is Sophia, and you are welcome to call me as such! Here are some tidbits about myself:
• Christian
• American
• Military brat
• Between the ages of 19-23
• Super talkative and friendly
• Constant reader, writer, and drawer
• In the process of writing a novel

My Game
Greetings! I mainly play Howrse for fun. Here are some of my favorite activities:
• Chatting with friends
• Training Thoroughbreds
• Breeding unicorns and taking care of my horses
• Raiding forums (my own forum is loaded with games and other topics!)
• Roleplaying
My fellow writers, if you're interested in roleplaying, this paragraph is for you! I have always been a writer, so roleplaying isn't exactly "new" to me. If you think I'd be interested in your roleplay, feel free to message me or advertise in my forum. If you're interested in a one-on-one roleplay, click here. It should take you to a topic in my forum, giving you more information about me and my preferences.
I've been playing Howrse for a whopping seven years (my seniority says otherwise, but I had a few seasons of hiatus), so you could say I'm a fairly experienced player. That being said, if you ever need help or have a question (having to do with the game), just shoot me a message and I will respond as quick as I can. All I ask is that you be kind, reasonable, and polite. If you need help with an objective, perhaps I could assist you. If you want a covering from one of my stallions, feel free to message me with a link and (unless it is a gelding or cannot breed) I should be able to reserve a covering. Finally, if you need someone to talk to, I will happily carry on a conversation. I may not respond right away, but you are more than welcome to send me another message if it has been too long.
I am a non-pass buyer, so I consider passes to be extremely valuable and work hard to gain them. I only accept friend requests from people I've talked to or know personally. I am blessed to have befriended so many amazing people on Howrse, with only a few not-so-great experiences.

Thank you!
Thoroughbreds
I've been training Thoroughbreds for about as long as I've played. I had no idea what I was doing at first, but I have grown since then. I used to be the founder/leader of the semi-competitive team, ƒɛαɾℓɛȿȿ. We reached top ten for Thoroughbred genetic potential and kept the title for at least a week or so, which was super exciting! Occasionally, those moments would happen again. Unfortunately, the team no longer exists. However, I have many fond memories of the experience, and have kept a handful of Thoroughbreds with the affix. You can find my Thoroughbreds under the fearless tab. Hunter is my highest rosette winner, with 2,000+ rosettes. You could say he's retired, now, but what an exciting run! I am usually always in the process of BLUPing a mare or two, or hoarding items for future skillers. I have three affixes for three generations of ƒɛαɾℓɛȿȿ Thoroughbreds.
• ʈɧɛ ƒɛαɾℓɛȿȿ (created in 2018, when my Thoroughbreds became "official", only 48 Thoroughbreds in this group!)
• ƒɛαɾℓɛȿȿ (created in 2020, team)
• ƒɛαɾℓɛȿȿ ɾɛɓᴏɾɳ (created in 2023, a work in progress)
I have a guide for training Thoroughbreds in my forum. Yes, I wrote it up myself. So if you share it, I would love it if you could give me credit. Hopefully others find it just as helpful as I do.
Are you new to training Thoroughbreds and would like some guidance? I would be more than happy to offer advice and assistance where I can. I enjoy seeing people succeed! My methods are tried and true. I occasionally make mistakes and will continue to do so, but I have been mostly successful with all of my Thoroughbreds. If you need an example, feel free to check them out under the fearless tab.
Sales and Trading
Any horses in the other horses tab I would consider selling. Do not ask me to sell a horse that is in another tab. You will recieve a resounding, polite... no.
I am always in need of Stones, Timers, Heels, and Tears. Message me if you're interested in working out a deal! I'll let you know what I have available to trade, and perhaps we can figure something out.
Me waiting on my Thoroughbreds to get 20 wins be like...
I made this banner a long time ago, but I still consider it to be important. You'll find I'm very passionate about this issue.
Feel free to use it (I've already added my name for credit) if you're just as passionate as I am!
Update
Guys, we won. Howrse finally listened to us!
I can't believe they actually brought it back!
You are deep pink.
Your dominant hues are red and magenta. You love doing your own thing and going on your own adventures, but there are close friends you know you just can't leave behind. You can influence others on days when you're patient, but most times you just want to go out, have fun, and do your own thing.
Your saturation level is high - you get into life and have a strong personality. Everyone you meet will either love you or hate you - either way, your goal is to get them to change the world with you. You are very hard working and don't have much patience for people without your initiative.
Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.
Ok, putting this here in case people are interested.
I have started to write and post fan-fictions on Wattpad.
I know what you're thinking. Isn't Wattpad a place for younger writers? And fan-fictions, of all things. I understand your concern.
Yes, most of the fan-fictions on Wattpad are super weird.
Like... really weird.
Yes, I am in college and probably older than most of the writers on Wattpad.
So, here's the deal.
I love making fan-fictions for Star Wars, Transformers, How to Train Your Dragon, Marvel, Narnia, and more. I know they will never get published, so what's the point?
To practice. I can develop original characters, think through cause and effect situations, and build worlds.
Eventually, I may get around to doing a (non-fan-fiction) short story or two, but for now fan-fiction is my go-to when on Wattpad.
Besides that, I want to provide the readers of Wattpad with better fan-fictions.
I'm not saying I'm perfect. In fact, I hope to get some healthy criticism so I can improve my writing.
However, I give my fan-fictions depth. It's a realistic approach. My original characters have background and personality. What does that look like with already established characters?
I'm not only going for accuracy, but creativity, too.
None of that reader and (main character of a film) romance nonsense.
Besides that, I don't really write romance as a main theme.
If you are not familiar with the films/shows or the characters, you will probably not like my fan-fictions, as I spend more time developing my original characters than I do changing an established character's personality.
Wow, you've read all that?
Well, if you're even the slightest bit interested, here's how you can find me.
On Wattpad, of course.
