I'll have you know that I have good and bad days
Come on, now, love, don't be naive
Lay out our cards and you'll see all my mistakes
Well, I don't mind while you're with me
(Fallen - Gert Taberner)

Nashua's shining black coat shows classic tobiano markings all over his neck and shoulder, as well as all four legs. The white markings form a so called black Badger Face on his head. Where the white coat touches his otherwise black hair, his mane will turn white, also. He has a black sock on his right hindleg and greenish turquoise markings on his croup as well as in his hair, which have the same colour as his eyes. He wears a polished, sharp firestone bracelet on his right frontleg.

Personality: Nashua enjoys life even if it wasn’t always easy. He’s very calm and friendly but also shy and a bit suspicious to stranger horses. He feels guilt and remorse for all the mistakes he has done in the past; especially regarding his brother, Calamity, therefore he tries to be a better uncle for Faith's sake and to regain Cale's trust once more.

Story: Nashua was born as second son of Caycal, the leader of the Cleveland herd. Unlike his big brother Calamity he wasn't able to control time, therfore he gained less attention from his parents. Nashua traveled around often, always lonely and one day he met another foal. Her name was Hakura and she was just like Nashua, falling out of the line at her herd. She became a great friend for Nashua and he saw her almost every day.
As his father decided to bind Calamity to Hakura, who happened to also be a special time controller of her herd, Cale came up with a plan to escape together with his little brother Nashua and also Hakura. Each other would run away meet again at a witch’s house who should delete all of their remaining memories of the herd, so that they could start a new life and forget their time controlling abilities forever. 
They young horses did manage to run away and finally met some days later at the witch’s house and Calamity was the first one who should forget his past but the witch deleted not just his memories of his herd but also all he knew about Hakura and Nashua.
When Nashua and Hakura noticed what happened to Calamity they wanted to bring him back to the Cleveland herd to find a cure but Cale had already left and did not recognize his brother or Hakura.
Neither Nashua nor Hakura had an idea what to do next but the young mare was too scared to go further and went back home. Nashua, unable to face his herd once again and explain what he and Calamity had done, travelled along to find a cure for Calamity's amnesia. By accident he bumped into the Silver Falls Herd's area and found out about the magic shield that Reliance projected over their territory, which would take away any black magic and could possibly heal Calamity.
The draft mare helped Nashua to lure the stallion secretly into the area, so that he, accompanied by his new mate, finally regained his full memories. Both of the brothers were very happy to finally find themselves once again
As Calamity decided to stay at the Silver Falls, Nashua immediately joined them as he had grown quite fond and thankful to Reliance and the other herd members. He prefers to wander off now and then but as his nephew Faith was born he started to stay for longer periods, watching and caring for the little foal to give his brother some free time with his mate. So far he enjoys his new challenges but slowly he finds himself questioning and wishing for his own family.
