Personality

[attr="class","maintext"]



Positive Traits:  
- Determined: After suffering a major loss as a yearling Izadora had to grow up far faster than anyone at that age should've. It became the main driving force behind her survival and in turn helped her develop an almost stubborn determination to get through anything life threw her way.
- Happy-Go-Lucky: When around foals or those who have taken the time to earn her trust Izzy is a ball of positive, endless energy. She loves to take in the simplest joys life has to offer and share them with those she cares for.

[break][break]

- Motherly: Izzy has a high maternal drive and shows endless patience and kindness when interacting with foals. She loves them all dearly and will take it upon herself to watch over any foals within the herd should she be allowed. With that, Izzy can become as fierce as a wildcat should any foals under her charge be threatened and will do everything in her power to protect them.

[break][break]

- Loyal: once a stallion wins her over Izzy will not leave him. The mare will stubbornly stick by his side and aggressively reject any others who try to lure her away. To her if he's willing to work hard at gaining her trust then he's very much worth her loyalty.

[break][break]

- Honest: Izzy, despite her initial nervousness, will always be honest when spoken to. The mare doesn't have a mean bone in her body and won't go out of her way to be harsh, but will always be truthful and kind with her words unless a situation calls for otherwise.

Negative Traits:  
- Skittish: Izzy is a generally nervous mare who runs first and asks questions later. It takes a lot of work for her to become comfortable around others- particularly stallions. However, once that trust is earned she blossoms like a spring flower and her true self shines through.

[break][break]

- Overprotective: With the birth of her son Izadora's maternal instincts have seemed to kick into overdrive. Constantly side-eyeing anything that may come too close, even more so with other horses even if they're a distance away and not being a bother. Inwardly she doesn't want her foal to face the same fate she did and will do anything within her power to prevent it from happening.

[break][break]

- Uncertain: In the face of circumstances unfamiliar to her, Izzy is noticeably uncertain. Hesitant and wary Izzy will follow extreme caution, sometimes overly so, which might drive others a little mad if they don't know her well.

[break][break]

- Aggressive: Incredibly rare to see, Izzy doesn't have a mean bone in her body, however, with a foal to protect this mare doesn't play when it comes to both his and Cloudskipper's safety. In the face of a threat Izzy's normally skittish behavior will melt into quick aggression, the mare turning into a wrathful, vengeful beast who will stop at nothing to protect her little family.

Quirks/Fun Facts: Izadora absolutely LOVES water and will take any opportunity to swim if the season and weather permits. She also has an obsession with flowers.

Izadora overall is a fairly well rounded mare who still retains her foal-like innocence despite being grown and now having a foal of her own. She hopes to teach her son to take life one day at a time and there's no need to rush things, to take joy in the little things. The mare has learned a lot in her years of growing up alone, and learned even more while traveling with her adored Cloudskipper. She hopes to be the best role model for her current and future foals and that they can be just as kind as they are strict.

History

[attr="class","maintext"]



Izadora was born with only her mother, Dune, for company. Her father was never known and her mother refused to speak about him whenever the young filly asked. There was no herd for safety so mother and daughter would constantly be on the move. For months Izzy was moved from one place to the next, never staying anywhere long enough for her to be a foal. This led to the young filly becoming anxious and nervous; particularly whenever other horses would be spotted. Her mother never approached anyone and would go out of her way to avoid them at all costs, but shortly after Izzy became a yearling their luck ran out.

[break][break]

On one of their many morning routines to water Dune accidentally ran them into a herd. The following chaos would end up only a blur in the young filly's memory. The lead stallion had immediately tried claiming Dune as his own, but her mother viciously refused. A fight soon broke out as her mother desperately fought to protect Izzy screaming at her to run. Terrified and confused Izzy fled from the squeals and screams running and running until the sounds had long faded.

[break][break]

Izadora never saw her mother again after that day. For weeks Izzy stayed in the area traveling the path they'd taken for such a short time hoping, praying, her mother would show. When it finally hit that her mother was gone Izzy was devastated. Dune had been the only family she had and without her she felt lost. Despite this, Izzy refused to let this take her down. She'd been taught early on how to survive and so survive she would. The following year would become a test of this and the determination Izadora had to live. As of now the now adult Izzy has successfully avoided coming across herds like the one that separated her and her mother. Time will only tell if the nomadic life will continue or if she can be won over by another.

[break][break]

One day, in the midst of winter Izadora's lonely filled life was forever changed. Stumbling across a bachelor stallion named Cloudskipper the mare took to him instantly. Together, the two set off on an adventure and gradually, Izadora fell in love with the kind hearted stallion. This she wouldn't confess until after a year of traveling together and eventually, she gave birth to their son, Aurum.
