A major difference between Sirocco and the average Breezy is that while most Breezies would fear the unknown, Sirocco is fascinated by it. He wants to explore the world at large and learn about it, even if doing so puts him in harm’s way. It doesn’t take long for him to get bored if he stays in one place for too long, and he also has a habit of being impatient. With life being so short, why would you wait to do what you want? He’s also rather independent, and though he will accept help from others, Sirocco prides himself in his ability to take care of himself.
Though he would probably tell you that he does what he does for the sake of other Breezies so that they may learn from his experiences, in reality Sirocco’s adventurous behavior is mostly because he gets a rush from it. He feels the most alive whenever he discovers something new or when he’s in danger. Being a Breezy that lives in the present, Sirocco tends to be quick to forgive things that happened in the past and rarely plans that far ahead into the future. Generally only what’s happening now matters to him, however an exception to this are his previous adventures, which he is sure to remember so he can boast about them later.
Despite being used to living on his own, Breezies are by nature a race that forms close knit communities, so occasionally Sirocco will long for companionship. He makes a habit of finding Breezy brughs and barrows when he travels and getting to know the Breezies there. Sirocco loves to tell others about his daring exploits, and one could easily notice when talking to him that he has infallible confidence in himself.
Sirocco can also be a bit of a flirt at times, even to mares several times his size. He is a self-proclaimed ladies’ man who can be rather ambitious despite his diminutive nature. Most of his flirtations aren’t too serious though; Sirocco is after all a stallion who loves freedom and independence, so it’s doubtful that he would want a relationship to tie him down.
#History ;
Sirocco was born in an average sized barrow in the San Palomino Desert known as Diamond Rough. A somewhat new settlement hidden away in a rock formation near an oasis, the barrow had been doing surprisingly well despite its location. Due to extreme heat during daytime and extreme cold at night, the Breezies of Diamond Rough leave the barrow at dawn and dusk to harvest nectar from the flowers growing around the nearby oasis and from flowering cacti. Since the founding of their barrow, the oasis had nearly doubled in size through the Breezies taking care of it. Life in the desert wasn't easy, but the Breezies of Diamond Rough make the most of it and due to the harsh environment are largely left alone by creatures who would prey upon them.
With Diamond Rough being founded by risk taking Breezies themselves, perhaps it is not a surprise that as Sirocco grew up he developed an adventurous attitude. As soon as he was old enough he would join the other gatherers when they went out during the twilight hours to collect nectar. The older he grew the farther out he would travel until eventually he would go out as far as he could before being forced to return back home before the day or night came. Being tied to his home annoyed Sirocco, as he wished to know what the world was like outside of the desert.
So when he became a full fledged adult, Sirocco said goodbye to his family and friends and set off on his own to explore the world. He had a rough start...and came close to dying a couple of times, but he managed to survive on his own. And once he got used to constantly being in danger he found he rather liked his new found independence. After a while he even learned to speak in a way a lot easier for ponies to understand so he could communicate with them. With his curiosity not yet sated, Sirocco travels where the wind takes him, exploring a land that to someone several times larger than him would probably not seem nearly as grand.

From where he stood, Sirocco felt like he could fall for hours and still not reach the ground.
The sand colored Breezie had been resting on a small cloud when an updraft had carried the cloud from only a few dozen feet above the trees to above the tallest mountains on the horizon. This cloud, supposedly overlooked by the pegasi weather teams who control the weather in this region, had taken Sirocco possibly higher than he had ever been before. Fortunately this wasn't much of a problem; though it would take a while, he could easily glide down from where he was. Rather, it gave Sirocco an opportunity to admire how beautiful everything looked from way up here. No wonder the pegasi live up in the sky, Sirocco thought, despite how inconvenient it seemed to him.
If he had something else he was going to do, Sirocco forgot about it for the moment. Where was he? Where was he going? None of that mattered for now; Sirocco would admire the view for now, and figure out what he was going to do later.
