“The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea.”Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

"You were the one who taught me," he said. "I never looked at you without seeing the sweetness of the way the world goes together, or without sorrow for its spoiling. I became a hero to serve you, and all that is like you.”Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
Demeanor: Melancholic and demure, a woman who prefers silence and to observe than ever be forward with her words and presence. She is as wise as she is naïve, having traveled the world and lived for eternity but never truly understood the deeper goings-on of people or beings. Guardedly curious and aloof, Amaltheia is enigmatic but not really charismatic. Social customs, norms and cues may confuse her and she has trouble reading others accurately. Curiosities: She is silent where-ever she goes, there is no trace of her footsteps or even the rustle of her gowns. Either there is always some subtle motion to her bearing or she stands so perfectly still, she vanishes from sight altogether. There is a queer allure that surrounds her, haunting in the sweetest and most devastating ways. Her eyes are ever filled with forests and wild beasts.
