Personality: Zirka is a warrior through and through. Her heart longs for the thrill of battle though part of her will always feel an emptiness at going into battle without her rider on her back. She is a well trained mare, obedient and willing to throw herself into harms way to protect those she cares for and wants to protect. However, there are moments when she thinks of her fallen rider, her partner, and questions her abilities. Zirka's loyalty knows no bounds. Once she commits herself to a group or a cause she will never falter in her place with them. She will see them through until the very end, no matter what it may cost her, so long as her comrades are happy. For Zirka, though, there is always a lingering sadness in her heart.
History:  Zirka was born into captivity to the warhorses Estelle and Knyaz. She was weaned at a young age and given to a young boy who had high hopes of following in his own father's footsteps and becoming a fierce and brave warrior.
At the beginning Zirka and the boy, Yuri, did not see eye to eye. She fought him everyday, wanting only to be back at her mother's side, but as time went on and it became clear that she would not be allowed back with her mother she finally submitted and allowed the young boy to begin teaching her. It was a journey that they embarked on together and it blossomed into a strong friendship and loyalty to one another that she had never known in her young life and cherished even in Yuri's death.

As time wore on and the duo became more reliant on one another they both developed the desire to prove themselves in battle. They were given the opportunity when Yuri's tribe went to war with a neighboring tribe who had been hunting on their land and stealing their horses. The battle was long and bloody and resulted in Zirkas first injuries, but the young and ever loyal mare fought as her partner asked her to. When the battle ended Yuri and his tribe had come out victorious. They returned back to their tribe with the horses that had been stolen along with the horses of their enemies.

Several more battles passed which resulted only in minor injuries for Zirka and Yuri. The young warriors were well on their way to becoming the leading warriors of their tribe, but they would both be cut down in their prime.

The final battle that Zirka and Yuri entered claimed Yuri's life and ripped out a part of Zirka's heart. Going into the battle Yuri and Zirka both knew that it was a battle that had more potential then any of the others they had fought in, to claim their lives. The warrior mounted his steed and they were off, neither of them to ever return to the tribe they left.

An ambush was waiting for the warriors. All around them horses and warriors fell, very few of them able to escape the onslaught. Yuri, ever fearless, charged for his enemies but was struck in his chest by an arrow. Zirka could feel her rider be struck, could feel the sudden shift of his body and she retreated, carrying him away from the battle, but she could hear the thundering of hooves behind her. She felt a pat on her shoulder, whispered words of encouragement and love from her rider before his body slipped from her back. Despite the approaching enemies Zirka turned back to retrieve her rider, but his spirit had already left his body.

The mare threw her head back, eyes wide as she saw several of her enemies approaching. She whirled and fled the scene, leaving half of herself on that battleground.

Thus, she enters MUSTANG.
