atlanta

atlanta is a very pretty girl, representing both of her parents' genes well. her mother was a white arab mix, her father a dark dappled gray andalusian. her pelt came out as a pale dappled gray, the markings around her nose and lips reminiscent of her mother's, as well her white mane and tail. she stands at 15.3 hands high, and she looks at the world through deeply troubled brown eyes. you can find an image of her here.

atlanta was born in lands not far from here, into a herd with a kind and just leader. his name, her father's name, was revenant. he was kind and fair to all the subjects in his land, and he watched over all his mares gently and lovingly. there was no mare that he loved more than her mother, the queen, artemis. she was their first foal, born into a pair of twins. atlantis and atlanta. her parents were thrilled, and she can remember the warmth and loving she felt in the first month of her life.

but then her mother left without a word. her father was distraught, beside himself. there was another nursing mare in the herd who offered to take the twins, but unfortunately atlantis couldn't get enough nutrients and died. it was then that her father left the land, passing it off to a cruel and deceitful stallion. the stallion allowed renevant's offspring to live, as he had promised, but they were treated as second-class citizens in the herd. this was a harsh change for atlanta, who had previously been regarded as a princess.

the first year of her life was spent in despair over the family she had lost so suddenly. though the herd was supposed to be cruel to her, they only were if the lead stallion was watching. all of the mares missed her father, and they believed that he would come back and save them. atlanta held no such beliefs. her father's mind had been broken, he was no longer the stallion who claimed and loved these mares. however, when atlanta's form began to fill out into that of a mare, the new lead took a very real interest in her.

suddenly he kept her with him at all times, and he started breeding her much too young. she fell pregnant shortly after this, but the foal was born too soon, at around 9 months, and it only lived for a few hours. that night, when the lead stallion was asleep, atlanta left. she traveled constantly, never stopping until she came upon these lands. her mind is not broken, she is not so weak as her father, but she can be cruel, and empathy is not in her vocabulary.
