traits; Ada is a skittish mare. If a branch snaps behind her, she turns and stares into the depths of the forest, heart thudding. Her voice is always shaky, and she seems to be afraid of every horse that comes her way. She is afraid to speak her mind, or to tell others "no", and she can't stand being around a lot of stallions. It makes her jumpy. But, upon first talking to her, you would not think she was this afraid. Her voice may be shaky, but she doesn't stutter all the time. You would just think she was a normal mare, with a normal past, but you are wrong. Way wrong.family bonds[/font]
mental health; Depression, PTSD
history; Ada was traumatized as a foal. She was bred for slaughter. Her parents didn't even know about her, really. She was born, then taken away. She was raised by humans, but not for trust. Her "care-givers" abused her harshly, beating her with anything they could get there hands on. Sometimes even with just their hands. This was how she spent the first three years of her life. In a small, dirty, paddock in the backyard of some house in the country that smelled of blood. Until on her fourth birthday, she was loaded into a trailer with dozens of other horses and taken on a three day trip to a slaughter house.
When she first got out, she saw a lot of people and horses of all ages, breeds, genders, and colors. Everything was bloody, smelly, and creepy. A man took her lead rope, and tugged her behind him into a large room. Inside, thousands of horses were tied down to the cement floor. Then, the man left.
The next morning, another man came and took a stallion by the head. More men came in and they tried to drag the stallion out. But none of the others horses did anything, just hung their heads. They knew what was coming. The stallion caught Ada's eyes. He looked at her, fear making the whites of his eyes show. Then, he opened his mouth and sang.
"Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see"
Then, the men gave up. One man, the tallest with red hair and green eyes, took a gun from his belt and aimed it at the stallion's head.
BANG!
Blood went everywhere, but the stallion didn't fall.
BANG, BANG, BANG!
Gunshots. Then silence as the mighty creature fell. The men dragged his limp body out of the house, and Ada knew nothing more of what happened. Then, two men came for her. She went crazy! She reared up as soon as her lead was untied, and bolted. She ran out the door, and just ran and ran.
BANG!
More gunshots.
BANG!
And the shots still echo in her nightmares. But at last, the shots stopped, and not looking back, she ran without slowing for hours. Then, she could run no more and she fell and slept.
When she woke up, she got her halter off, which was already half off because it was so grimy, and looked ahead. Her body was dirty, her mind scared, and an everlasting fear of horses and men with her.
Ada remembers that time in her life perfectly, can see everything as if she was still there. And the stallions words echo in her mind.
After wandering aimlessly throughout the Free Lands, she happened to walk right into the Highlands, intruding on Lone Ridge Valley which was led by the Versai Brother, Lethare (HH).
