[Deleted]

Name: Fawn
Gender: Female
Breed: Arabian
Age: Three
Arrived in MUSTANG: Summer, Year Ten
Coat Color: Black, white star - xx.
Height: 14.1hh
Eye Color: Blue

Personality:

Fawn is, fundamentally, a very sweet girl.

She is quiet and shy, but very sincere - sometimes painfully so. She seems to have no affinity for guile and deceit, and often, can never understand just why some creatures would lie, kill, or do something so morally wrong.

Insecurity is her one fatal flaw. Fawn is so afraid of being alone, so desperate for companionship and for some attention, that she would do literally anything for anyone, as long as they are kind to her and shower her with just a little attention.

She can be quite self-deprecating, and can come across as quite meek. Fawn is very grateful for any scraps of attention others throw at her, but is also very self-conscious of what others think of her. If she senses they are disapproving, she'll do her best to conform to their expectations of an 'ideal' equine.

She tries to be strong, to be true to herself, but fails, more often than not. She is more of a follower than a leader; often, she feels lost without someone bossing her about. Her shyness is crippling at times, and she tries to show others that she can survive out by herself in the wild, on her own.

However, her scrappy defenses quickly fall apart at the first harsh or disapproving word towards her.

Summary: Sweet | Shy | Insecure | Sincere | Easily swayed | Desperate for approval | Longs for companionship | Dependent

History:

Sometimes, it feels as though Fawn has been cursed since birth. Nothing in her life has ever gone right.

It was a miracle Fawn had managed to survive at all past birth. There were serious complications, as well as implications - she survived; her dam didn't. Tiny and weak, it was fortunate that their herd had other nursing mothers willing to take the frail child in.

However, it was obvious that although she managed to pull through, it troubles were far from over. While the others were galloping and growing, their bodies filling out, Fawn was still very weak. Often, the most she could do was stumble a little after them, tiring very quickly, and watching, as the others left her in the dust.

Children, as all would know, can be the most cruel at times. She was relentlessly bullied, and spent her life striving to gain their approval, in vain.

To make matters worse, she had speech and language impairments. Fawn sometimes stutters, but mostly when she's put on the spot, or is experiencing extreme bouts of emotion, be they fear, anger, or just plain nervousness. She has trouble, sometimes, expressing her thought and desires to others, as she struggles finding for the right words.

That doesn't mean she's less intelligent. Fawn is intelligent - it was just that in her whole life, no one has been patient enough to stay with her and find out.

When she grew older, Fawn was chased out of her heard. No one could be bothered with the poor girl any more, now she was old enough to fend for herself. She was traded to a neighbouring herd, who mostly ignored her.

All her potential partners never lasted long, claiming that she was too needy, to clingy, always following them about. No one, perhaps, understood just how harsh each blow was to the young mare.

She was left behind once more, and now travels on her own. Still lonely, still empty, but hoping to find something more.

Could be love, could be friendship... but maybe herself, as well.
