...As it appears, a pony. A green one, by some mischance of nature in this world. In other worlds, I am a Man; Faramir, Steward of Gondor.
But ponies are common enough in my world - I know not what may be in yours, and I will grant that green is a... less than usual colour - and I asked from curiosity alone, for such a creature as that whose form you wear, I have never seen the likes of.
'The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadiaa in length, and as wide and high as it is long. He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man’s measurement, which the angel was using. The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.

...My apologies if this seems a rude question, but what manner of beast are you?

It's not the first time that I've been feline.

You look very... fluffy. [She laughs]

[he preens slightly.] Bit on the nose, though... that you're a 'pale horse'.

A pale horse, yeah, but Amethyst isn't really a name that fits in Revelations, is it?
