Retrieved 2015-01-08.〕 The series focuses primarily on the character, the orphaned Unicorn-girl introduced in the first book. Acorna has special powers including the abilities to heal, make things grow, detect venom, detect chemical imbalances, detect mineral and metal deposits, purify water and air, and communicate telepathically. The first book introduces her as a "youngling" and features her journey of understanding her individualism. ==Acorna's appearance== Besides the single horn, situated half way between her brow and her forehead, Acorna can, with the right attires, pass as a tall and graceful young lady. However, a closer look would reveal that she is not human. The following are her distinguishing features: *A flowing silvery mane from her head down to her back, similar to that of a horse. The same silvery curls are also on her calves. *Her feet end in equine hooves similar to those of traditional unicorn media. In cover art her feet are pictured looking as horse hooves. *Her fingers only have two joints, one at the knuckle and the other in the middle of her fingers. In cover art her hands are pictured as identical to those of humans. *Her eyes are silvery and her pupils narrow into a silver sliver when she is disappointed or sad. Acorna is also born more mature than human infants and grows to adulthood within four years. She is unusually intelligent and can learn extremely quickly. Acorna is strictly vegetarian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acorna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
