Stripe-Crested Downy Broadwing

Breed name: Stripe-Crested Downy Broadwing

Bird inspiration: unknown

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Pony

Overview
Adapted to the colder northern regions, stripe-crested downies are not as hardy as the blizzard broadwing, but make wonderful cold-climate workhorses and compantions. They are amiable in nature and are small enough to be kept safely sheltered during the harsher winter months.

Small and sturdy, they are friendly in general and seem to enjoy close company with their human handlers, despite being too small to bear them in flight.

Coloration and Conformation
Based primarily on Fjord horses, these pegasi come in a limited range of colors: from palomino to silver dun. Their crests are short and characteristically striped. Each feather in the crest has a dark brown or black stripe, creating a stripe down the whole crest. In addition, their legs and tails tend to be darker, not unlike a buckskin.
