This thread is for information from Bella Sara: The Ultimate Guide!
So, let's start with Fable and the Patchwork!
Fable: Fable is a mysterious, immortal storyteller who once gave Sara a magical book called The Patchwork (presumably written or created by Fable). During the 100th anniversary celebration of the Valkyrie Sisterhood hosted by Sigga Rolanddotter, the legendary horses Fiona, Nike, Thunder and Jewel met for the first time around Teardrop Lake, and it was there that an image of Fable appeared to them, weaving a tapestry depicting the four of them with Bella rearing up in the middle of them. So, they ventured (along with Sara) to meet Fable. When they arrived, Fable invited them to look at the changing images on her tapestry. This is when Sara and the five horses got their first glimpse at Sigga's downfall. They saw her rescue Prince Archer from giant wolves. Next they saw the pair of them looking sorrowful in a firelit room, and then the images began to change much faster: a prince trapped in a grim-looking castle, Sigga, aging, walking down an unfamiliar road, and lastly, they saw Trail's End, neglected and gloomy. However, the Tapestry showed them that all hope was not lost. It showed them that Sara, herself, would watch over North of North in Sigga's place until one day, a girl on wings would come and right the horrible wrongs that would take place. The Tapestry also showed that Bella, Nike, Fiona, Jewel and Thunder would all become legendary horses.
The Patchwork: The Patchwork is a sacred book given to Sara by Fable. Stories of the past, present and future are written in it, and Sara, who had read part of her own story, learned that she was destined to bring wisdom and hope to any who struggled against evil and misfortune. Later on, Sara would take empty pages of the Patchwork to make the Valkyrie's Ballads.

Alright michaeljacksonlover28, I'll do her next! Bella Creation: While it is unclear how or where Bella was created, the story does tell us this: There was once a young girl named Sara. Her and her parents were magical beings and they lived among the mortals of North of North. Sara loved to explore the countryside surrounding her home. One day, while she was exploring, a herd of horses approached her. The leader of this herd was a magnificent, white mare and she reared before Sara in greeting. If Sara had ever been afraid, her fears were put to rest with one look at this beautiful, graceful creature. This mare, was of course, Bella. Bella was the first horse that Sara had met, and Sara was the first person Bella had met. It was love at first sight, and Sara made a vow to always care for horses. In a moment of complete love and understanding, Sara reached out and stroked Bella's neck. A burst of energy sparked between them, magically uplifting Bella, making her the greatest of her kind. Sara was also transformed into the immortal goddess of horses. Sara's touch gave Bella intelligence and wisdom beyond that of any other creature. Identifiable Characterisics: A regal mare, white with black highlights with the rainbow glow of the Auroborous shimmering all around her. These glowing lights are visible signs of her gift. Magical Gift/Capabilities: Inspires hope in everyone she meets. Bella is able to gallop through air and water, and fly through the Auroborous, the sea of light that can transport her into other worlds. Traits: Motherly, nurturing, loyal, majestic, accepting, joyous, and free. Animal Companion: The Orca Magical Friend: The Starstone Otter Herd: Bella is the High Queen of all horses and her herd Bellasara. Her legendary wisdom is so great that all horses gladly accept her leadership. Quote: " Think positive every day! Feel the bliss of joy and energy that comes with it." Other Interesting Facts: She is the first and greatest of all horses. Bella named her herd Bellasara after the special bond between her and Sara.
