I use Sleipnir to RP a dark unicorn as Jet'a's pet and mount (not as much to have a "sleipnir", but because the design of the other horses/unicorn mounts have a fucked up skeleton and no bardings / GC bardings only). It has been with him since he was introduced in the RP group and has plenty of character to have its own place in it. I suppose my RL knowledge of horses (I'm a former horse trainer) helps with that.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
