Flare Soul Ponies

 

Details:

Flare Soul ponies are a breed of pony that are kept alive by a flame burning inside of them. This flame normally ranges in color from red to yellow and light blue, but on some occasions the flame is a different color completely. In order for the flame to be kept alive the Flare Souls have "chutes" at certain locations over their bodies that spew the flames at all times. Every single Flare Soul has an opening on their tail and on their chest which can be open and closed at will, normally they are kept closed. They only open their chest when presenting themselves to a mate or as consolation to a dearly loved one.

Flare Souls don't mate for life but whenever they split ways with a mate their flames grow slightly dimmer. There are two ways for Flare Souls to die naturally; 1. Simply of old age (they can live many many years longer than most species) or 2. Their flame dims so much that it simply goes out, and the Flare Soul literally dies of heartbreak.

They are normally a very peaceful species but get very protective of their young and will fight to the death to protect them. They are normally reclusive and don't venture to close to civilizations of other species.

Often times they will have smoke coming out of their mouth and nose from their flames and occasionally from their ears. Their main tale is quite long and can have between 1-4 extra smaller tails with little flames coming off of them as well. Sometimes (but not very often) they will have some hair on their tails.

Normal ponies believe that the sight of a Flare Soul is a sign that a loved one is ill or dying. They aren't a bad omen, more of an actual warning or heads-up, but others would still rather avoid them.
