Currently, on PI Where there is love, there is life event is happening, in which the pitter patter of little hooves can be heard in the meadows and homes! If you're feeling like your family isn't big enough, now is the time to try and expand!

The Thicket is a PI adoptable ran by Semilunate, with the help of many wonderful staff members! This rp site was brought together by Dyzzie, to allow a more diverse Rping experience. This skin was created by DOROTHIA of Adoxography and she'd appreciate it if no one copied her work. Codes were found on PB Support. Special thanks to tunescool for the bautiful Mini-Profile!
A wooded valley sits between two small mountains. As you enter, you hear the rustling of bushes, and a Thyci steps out to greet you. He looks you over, then nods. "Come with me, I'll lead you to the herd," he says, then turns and trots away.
The depths of the valley open up into a grassy field, a blue, shimmering stream falling down the mountainside in sparkling waterfalls and running through the field before disappearing down through the forest. A dark green Thyci with blue speckles spots you and the guard, and steps forward to greet you.
"Welcome to the Astral Herd," she greets. "I'm Ardent. If you have any questions about the herd, feel free to ask and I'll tell you what you need to know."
Teachers There are always a minimum of four teachers in the Astral herd, one for each type of profession. These teachers teach young foals the basics of fighting, crafting, gathering, and other essential skills. Once the foals learn their basics, they learn the rest of their class-specific training from an adult Thyci with the same class. Upon maturing, young Thyci are apprenticed under another adult to learn their role in the tribe.

Gatherers/Tenders These Thyci are responsible for making sure the herd has enough food and other plant-based supplies. Some gather from wild-growing plants, knowing exactly where to find stands of different foods and fibers during different times of the year. Others tend to stands of semi-cultivated plants, harvesting the fruits as they ripen.

Guards / Defenders These Thyci take shifts to range the herd's territory and keep watch for any incoming threats. There are six guards on duty at any time, and are ranged within shouting distance of each other. Most apprentice-age Thyci spend a year or two on guard duty regardless of their eventual role in the tribe.

Outskirters These Thyci don't live with the main herd, but instead live on their own in various locations on the mountainsides. In times of trouble, they are welcome in the Astral Herd, and in return for safety and food if things get hard, they will sometimes pitch in and fight for the good of the herd.

Apprentices Young adult Thyci are considered "Apprentices" in the Astral herd. These Thyci don't yet have a specific role in the herd, fitting in wherever a hoof is needed to help out. They all spend at least a couple years on guard duty, and the rest of their apprentice years are spent in various roles as well as getting their hooves wet in adventuring. They are each assigned to a mentor in their general job type.

Foals Young Thyci who haven't reached maturity yet. The youngest foals are taught by the teachers, while older foals learn the specifics of their chosen class from a Thyci in that class.
