Messi

The Herd Stallion

Messi is the stallion of the herd, and he knows it. He arrived in October 2024 in poor condition and now keeps everyone in line.

Personality

Messi is the stallion of the herd and he knows exactly who he is. He’s the boss, and he feels no need to be shy about reminding everyone else. He keeps the herd in check and makes sure everyone knows where they stand. His tough-guy image is slightly spoiled by his bottom lip, which has a habit of wobbling, so he isn’t always taken quite as seriously as he’d like.

Confident, commanding, watchful and unquestionably the boss.
