Lenore!
-equine. mustang. mare. 4yrs. 15.2hh-[/size][/center]
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore[/size]
----------appearance
The mare is sturdily built like a mustang but the graces of her Spanish background show through in the way she carries herself. She has inherited the kiger's long, thick mane and tail although she sees it more as a nuisance. Lenore takes on a dark brown-gray color of a grullo with a dark face and black legs that fade into her coat. Although she is an equine, her primitive markings hold some interest. Her leg barring, dorsal stripe and shoulder stripe are all a purple that is vibrant enough to stand out but grow darker to blend with her black mane and legs. The mare's eyes are a rich chocolatey brown, seemingly warm to hide the cold blood underneath.
Breed: Mustang

Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken![/size]
-----------personality
Lenore is a snake. She looks for others and opportunities that will further herself. While she does not seek the highest power herself, she wants to see that no one finds more happiness than her. Far inside her, farther than even she can recognize, she is jealous of the horses who have found contentment in their lives. Instead of finding joy herself, she seeks to ruin others'. Lenore can be found to be quite persuasive unless they see through her tricks. Lies and twisted gossip is how she works because the blood of fighting does not appeal to her and she would rather run than fight. A lead would be best not to count on the wretch to ward off invasions or participate in them. She does not prefer herd life but she finds safety in it and in doing so her malevolence can be covered.
Perhaps her most twisted quality is that she truly and wholly believes that the pain she has caused them will make them stronger.

-----------far history
Lenore was born to a pair of mustangs, one demented and the other blissfully unaware. As a filly, she was brought up with both her mother and her father as well as other band mares. In her homeland, 'herds' had no designated land and they consisted of a band stallion, his lead mare and band mares. For the most part, Lenore was brought up by other mares as her mother caused mayhem in other bands. Raven didn't know what kind of impact her actions would make on her young daughter. Little by little, Fionn's band grew to an abnormally large size. Raven sought a monopoly over the other herds and the land as a whole. Through whispers and rumors, Lenore heard of the dark mare luring away band stallions and the latter's disappearance. As a kind-hearted stallion, Lenore's father took the abandoned family in if he could get to them before bachelors did. Fionn's name became massive amongst the bands.
Lenore's pride in being part of his father's family shattered by the time she became a yearling. To say the least, she saw her mother at work, coaxing the stallion away and destroying him. The routine started again but the yearling didn't have the nerves to stop it so, she took on the identity of one of the adopted fillies and spread rumors that the dark mare was part of the band among the new children. In turn, they told their parents and their intensifying suspicion became truth to them. Lenore had not regarded the consequences her actions would have on herself and so her, her mother and her siblings were ousted from the band and rejected by the other bands.
At 18 months, she wandered away and roamed the lands far away.
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,[/size]
