Personality:
Scarlet has developed a complex personality that not many can understand. Under the new facade she puts on, the red dun mare is sweet and caring. It's something she's come to learn how to hide simply because it's emotion she hates. Now this doesn't mean she's emotionless, it just means that she doesn't show the good in her. She's very well reserved and tends to keep her past hidden for the simple fact that someone may use it against her. She's put up a wall to block out the outside world's emotions. All she feels--or wants to think she feels--are the typical emotions of a broken soul; hatred towards stallions, distrust, reserved. Then there is her ghost-like imagination that has the darker, colder personality. It pushes and tries to take over her mind, trying to convince her that being bad is a great thing. It tries to convince her that being seductive, yet bad, is what attracts the stallions. This imagination figure has been with her for all her life and has been doing this for the past six years. Even as a foal, it tried to get through and create this.. Seductress with a very elegant, yet powerful form to roam the earth. It's only a matter of time before it breaks free and she becomes this monster she has been refusing to become for so long.

History:
She'd always had a heart for adventure, but it was crushed when one thing happened to traumatize her. She was sweet and caring and such a doll until she was four years old. Little did the dazzling young mare know, was that all the trust she'd put into this one stallion would change her life forever. Scarlet fell in love, thought he was, and then everything went to hell. They'd had such a lovey-dovey relationship before she found out he was cheating on her. Sure, that's what stallions often did; breed with other mares to continue a bloodline.. But it was worse when he admitted he never loved her. He force bred her, wanted a child conceived from rape to continue on so his herd grew stronger. When she lost the foal, her 'love' kicked her from the herd and told her she was no good. So she changed, became something she's not. The voices in her head, the ghost she saw, were something she was born with.. But they didn't help. Her insanity and darker side only grew to the point she's in now. She knows she's messed in the head, but there's one thing Scarlet knows; love is an overrated feeling not worth feeling.

Mental Health: 85% -- She sees a ghost. (Sort of like Dallas)
Physical Health: 90% -- She has a limp due to severe muscle damage from being bitten at a young age.

Realistically, I don't think a wild horse would come back from a leg break? I don't know how to go about this one..

[Deleted]

it wasn't a severe break like the leg is all off to the one side.. it was more of a fracture than anything. and the way it healed it just causes her to have a noticeable limp.

[Whipster]

Regardless of how it was, I just don't know. Horses are heavy animals and injuries to their legs are usually serious, fractures or breaks. I'd like Bandit <{Txepster}> and okay that one and she will be all set.

If they don't approve, I can change it.

I agree that is really an iffy subject. Injuries like that are severe and rarely rehabilitate in domestic horses due to price of bone placement and the effort it takes to stop the animal from using it. In the wild a broken leg would be death because they can not run, instantly becoming the weak link and predators will narrow in on them means they're easy prey.

I could see a hair-line fracture, I've had one of them, they are excrutiating painful BUT the limb can sustain pressure so long as its not too vigorous or harsh on it to cause more damage to the injury. That'd be a more exceptionable scenario or perhaps some severely harmed tends where they cut her step length short and choppy, or muscle/nerve damage will cause suck limping affects as well.

If this is workable by you. The Most I personally will accept a hair-line fracture.
