Personality:
Tiva is a mare that feels more comfortable on her own. She is, however, highly sociable, but has tendencies to speak her mind in whichever way she pleases. The little paint mare is definitely a free spirit and finds solace in being with wildlife not of her own species and also finds ways to make small animal friends as she goes. Tiva is very docile and does not believe in the ways of fighting, so a stallion with battle scars makes her ooze with discomfort and bitterness. The sweet little mare is overall a fire to be messed with on some occasions, like all mares, and if you press the wrong button, you will be in for a surprise.
History:
Tiva was born in a small Indian village to a beautiful pair of parents. The two legs that cared for the three were gentle and sweet, passing on their gentle ways to small Tiva as she learned this was how others should be treated. Her first year was a very important one where they attached a rope item around her head and lead her where they wanted her to be. Tiva was very interested in why they did this, but was also very pleased in following her two legs.
As the young filly grew, they introduced more and more things to her. Colorful markings on her hair was one. Her parents explained it was a way to show who's herd you belonged in and Tiva sported the same double hand print of red on her hind quarters, just like her parents. It was a happy day for her and the yearling was excited to finally be apart of something she enjoyed very much.
However, there wasn't all happiness on the horizon for small, young Tiva. Months after the time she was accepted, an attack fell upon the place she called home. The two legs took her parents and mounted their backs, riding them towards the threat. Little Tiva stayed in what she thought was the safety of the area she always napped in by the two legs home, but soon an unfamiliar smell hit her nostrils and loud bangs echoed through the air.
Soon she was running from the scary place that she thought would bring her safety all her life and now it brought death and sorrow. A quick glance back as she was running had her notice she wasn't alone. A large two leg on a horse galloped quickly after her, the legs of the small filly were no match for what appeared to be a long legged stallion. As the pressed herself harder, she felt something reach around her neck and yank her body to the side, almost knocking her to the ground. Her breath had escaped her as well as clear sight.
She was brought to a place of horrid smells and smoke. There were two legs everywhere and they had barely any fur on their heads as well as barely any skin to show. They smelt of strong stenches that were unknown to her. The two legs were much more rough and gave her chills and caused her to constantly spook and rear. Tiva was there for many months before the ability to escape the wooden fences had finally come.
It was a raid. They were similar to the two legs she had grown to love, but were different in many ways. Havoc was everywhere and the now two year old Tiva had realized this was the time to escape once more. The moment the gate had opened, her hooves moved quickly underneath her and soon she was free. The young mare was off on her own and this time she would make sure she escape...
Tiva has now been on her own for a little over a year and she's learned many things in her time alone and has travel many miles to get away from the places where two legs roam.
