I grew up in the age of My Little Pony, when fluffy, cute unicorns were everywhere - posters, stickers, cartoons. The Last Unicorn and Legend were the best places for the more "mature" unicorn but the portrayal was still that of a delicate, untouchable, skittish creature. Which is what I don't want for my own story, but that still keeps creeping into my head every time I think of the story. I'm kind of hypersensitive when it comes to associations like that, and it's making it difficult to keep the unicorns I have in mind from turning into the unicorns of my childhood.
