unicorns, eyebrows and other confusing business

Unicorns are usually considered magical beings for good that come when there is a person in distress. It was probably sent by the starts in the sky above. As for where it went, it was still in the stables when the fire came. It was probably cooked and made into shishkabobs, or ran away when Lamia made the inn disappear (everything that wasn't created magically, other than the bathtub, disappeared when she left).

People with true blonde hair have naturally light eyebrows, and when you have fair skin they can be lost in certain light. But she definitely has eyebrows, I took a snapshot from the Bluray copy I own when they are in different light.

He wasn't really dumping her, since they never dated, he was just tying up loose ends. It was more of him showing that he grew up into a man, and that she should do the same... except, you know, into a woman instead. I'm sure you have said things before that you thought were perfectly clear, but someone else misunderstood-- this is exactly the same. Do you normally think of getting married to someone and send out wedding invitations after your first night with someone?

You think there are is no flourishing in The Boondock Saints? Robert De Niro's character was over the top, but so is everything else in Stormholde.

"2.) was it just me, or did claire danes have no eyebrows in this movie? i assumed it was to make her look different from humans, but it was so distracting--especially during her confession of love speech. i mean, she's cute and all, but she looked vaguely sinister without her eyebrows."

lol i swear to god i had the exact same reaction. Thru out the film she looked very pretty but during that scene , maybe it was due to the lighting or her facial expressions, but it made her looked like she had no eyebrow at all. I just couldnt take my eyes off her brow during that scene.

where did the unicorn come from

and where did it go?

Where did the unicorn come from? As the movie makes fairly clear, it was sent by Yvain's sister stars who soon after warn Tristan that Yvain is in danger. For me, the stars were a far bigger problem than the horse. If they could warn Tristan, why couldn't they warn Yvain herself, and why do they only intervene this one time when our "star-crossed" couple are constantly in danger?

The answer explains your third question. The reasons the unicorn appears and stars intervene at the precise moment they do and Tristan later chooses to leave his sleeping lover on an errand for which he has no apparent motivation is that, as a friend of mine used to say, "it's in the script." Both unexplainable incidents are purely devices to move the plot forward. At the tree, Tristan's leaving Yvain alone and the unicorn freeing her is just a way to make Yvain vulnerable to attack and provide the hero an opportunity to rescue her (notice that the unicorn's abilities and awareness ebb and flow as needed). Tristan's return to Wall not only provides the witch an opportunity to steal away a disheartened Yvain, it also allows Tristan to tie up the loose ends of the story's frame, giving us the satisfaction of seeing Victoria and Humphrey get their comeuppance. After all that buildup at the beginning, those characters could not just be forgotten.
