Description:
a lot of ya'll wanted to see something like this, little comparison between Zecora and Radhi
I find Zecora both boring and problematic, and choose not to include her in my pandoraverse story for personal reasons. Still, I don't mind giving a bit of headcanon about her.
- Zecora is a mountain zebra (a smaller species, identified by a lack of stripes on their underbelly). Formerly a medicine mare in her homeland, Zecora is the lone survivor of a relentless dry season that slowly destroyed her herd. The foals and the elderly were the first to succumb to the heat, and then came mysterious illness, striking down herd members so quickly and mercilessly that Zecora, despite her tireless efforts, couldn't discover a cure in time. Her grief and feelings of failure were unbearable. From each home, she took a totem to remind her of the lives that slipped through her hooves, then fled as far away as she could, to start anew, somewhere she could be alone in her mourning, somewhere she could study the magic of alchemy and potion brewing….perhaps her findings could help somepony someday. At the very least, she gets by okay, selling cures for everyday ailments to ponyfolk,dabbling in ancient dark arts, holding séances to communicate with spirits
Zecora is quite content to live alone, and kinda wishes she'd stop being disturbed by panicky mares begging her to brew some easy solution to their asinine friendship problem of the week…..
- Radhi is a plains zebra, which are bigger than their mountainous counterparts. Although Zebrican society and technology is as developed as Equestria's, there is a heavier emphasis on tradition, especially among the older folk. Zebras are spread across many countries (Zegypt being one of the most notable and ancient). Some live in populous cities within their nation, some live abroad, and some live in traditional nomadic herds. Radhi comes from a small herd located in the heart of the Marengeti, lead by her grandparents and populated by family and close friends. Her herd has protected the surrounding wildlife for centuries, establishing nature reserves and creating programs to monitor and encourage population growth of endangered species. Radhi is committed to her family's cause, and detests poachers.
fun facts
-Growing up, Radhi was enamored with Daring Do books and dreamed of becoming an adventurer someday. Though she loves her herd, she's always longed to travel the world.
-Radhi is skilled at languages and picks them up quickly. She can speak four of them fluently.
-As a zebra, Radhi is strong af, and could cave a lion's skull in with one kick. Zebras are slower runners than ponies, but make up for it in stamina. They can survive up to five days without water.
- Radhi and Buck returned to her Marengeti herd to be married. Buck was surprised when, before the wedding, the herd members painted him with ceremonial zebra stripes (made with white river clay) to officially welcome him into their family…..He was told this was a great honor, but he's still not sure if the zebras were fucking with him or not. Radhi was snickering when she assured him they weren't….whatever, Buck thought he looked pretty dashing (and Radhi did too).
- Radhi is good friends with Fey, and of course loves her nephew Bruce, but she honestly cannot stand Buck's brother Cutthroat. Cutthroat's crass remarks about his brother dating a zebra always left a bad taste in Radhi's mouth, but she held her tongue around him as a favor to Buck. She doesn't feel bad about cursing him out in her native tongue tho (not like the mean old oaf can understand a word). Buck tries his best to keep the peace, trying to be patient with his stubborn big brother, but he can and does draw the line at Cutthroat being rude to Radhi's face. Do not disrespect Buck's wife, or any zebra, in front of Buck- Cutthroat learned that the hard way.
- When a zebra and a pony make a hybrid offspring, it's called a zony. Radhi's parents are not subtle in their hints about Buck and Radhi making them a cute lil zony grandbab before they die of old age and grandbab-less heartbreak
