Appearance:
The first thing you'll probably notice about Raid is her raven black hair. Even from a distance her hair looks soft and up close you can practically feel how soft it is. Her hair is wavy, glossy and bouncy. Its very lush yet not overwhelming. Others around her sometimes describe it as gorgeous and beautiful. As for style she usually keeps her hair down or if shes feeling fancy, braids. Her black hair is mid-back length with messy eyebrow length bangs that hang down over her soft face. For a pop of color she has just a strip of purple hair color in her hair which she almost always has braided. How did she end up with such gorgeous hair? Well its partly because she inherited it from her father and partly because she takes alot of care of it. You could even say she spoils her hair.
.
Raid has big, henna(redish brown) eyes, set appealingly within their sockets, which watch observantly over the people she's seen in juvenile hall. She has black dramatic thin eyebrows with a small button nose. Raid's lips almost look like a heart shape which go nicely with her defined yet soft jaw. Her fair skin, which she got from her mother, almost seems to shine when she has a smile on. Raid stands at 5'5 and weighs about 100 lbs though it varys sometimes, not to much though. She has a rectangular body shape with long, strong legs that ahe uses for walking, everywhere and slightly big feet.
.
As for clothes you can usually find a jacket/hoodie on her slender body. It usually is darker in color with a hood she can use at any time. She has a favorite jacket, the one she wears all the time, which is black with very comfortable material and size. Her favorite color is purple so she usually wears tightish purple shirts that cover her slim body. For pants she almost always wears jeens of any kind. Even though she likes any kind of jeen she usually wears blue's, and more specifically a blue that's not too dark or too light. Lastly for shoes she wears the only pair she has, purple tennis shoes.
Personality:
| Distrusting | Lonely | Quiet | Observant | Reserved/Cautious | Determined | Distant | Seemingly Cold | Loyal | Patient | Caring |
Distrusting
Raid is extremely distrusting. If you even just say the word 'promise' it makes her want to throw up. Now if you promise something to her? Now that's a bold move. She will most likely laugh in your face and tell you, "Promises are just a pretty lie to make people happy." If you argue with her? She will straight up walk away. She dosent care what you think, so you can just be quiet. With this distrusting aditude you can find that she will always test what you say. She usually dosent believe a word you say unless she sees it with her own eyes.
Lonely
In reality, even though she acts all tough, she really just wants someone to care. She will never, and i mean never admit that, but you can tell if you take the time to get to know her. If/when you try and get close she will actually seem to accept you. She will still be her distrusting self but you'll eventually see more and more of her true personality. When you get used to her personality you can actually see the loneliness in her eyes. It's a small dull part in her eye, looking longingly at you, begging you to care. That's why she likes horses so much, she knows they cant hurt her by breaking promises. And they dont care what you do or think, well for the most part atleast.
Quiet
You can find most of the time Raid is just that quiet girl in the corner. You have to actually be paying attention to your surroundings to even know shes there. She never really says anything but is usually always listening to the conversation. Sometimes that is, sometimes shes either dreaming about horses and riding them or plotting her next swipe. Her favorite pass time is plotting....that and thinking of horses, but that's not the point. Raid will usually only talk when spoken too and even then she tries to not talk very much, unless its about horses. She could literally go forever when she's talking about horses. Whenever its eating time you can bet she will be in the corner, alone, being the quiet girl she has everyone thinking she is. You have to be someone special to get her to talk freely around you.
Observant
Since Raid is always the quiet girl, what do you think she does while everyone is interacting? Well besides the obvious horses and plotting. The answer is shes watching. Shes always been observant and this behavior has helped her pull off alot her swipe's. She'll never admit it because she wants it to just be pure talent, but it's true. Her observant nature lets her get to know people without actually getting to know them. It lets her take a short cut instead of actually having to talk to that person. Besides it helping her in many ways it also just for fun. She likes to watch how people interact and how everyone is different.
Reserved/Catious
Remember how she's the quiet girl? Well it isn't just because she likes being quiet, its because shes reserved. She very rarely gets her feelings involved when she's talking to someone. She dosent want to get hurt again so there for she keeps her feelings to herself. Unless you happen to promise something and/or argue about promises with her. She will then show you how angry promises make her. Raid is definitely not friendly when it comes to promises. If it was up to her she would completely band them. Raid can also be labeled catious. When it comes to animals shes catious because even though she loves them she knows they can be just as dangerous as a gun. She's also catious with people. She's slow to trust and even just walking up to someone to say hello is hard for her.
Determined
Even though she's catious about walking up to animals and/or people she can be quite determined. She usually works very hard, especially when its something she likes/wants to do. This trait will definitely come in handy when it gets down to training a horse. She knows she will have to be patient and determined for it to work. She believes shes got a head start to training a horse because she not only knows facts, she also has patience, observance, determination, loyalty and she just cares about horses in general. What more could a horse ask for? She has a gentle touch, she has to when it comes to a swipe and a soothing voice when she wants to.
Distant
Raid can be very distant at first, especially when your not her friend. Even though she's usually always there, shes usually always in her thoughts. This can embarrass her sometimes when people begin to talk to her yet she has no idea what their talking about, but she usually gets over her embarrassment quite quickly. Raid used to not be like this, she used to be the shy girl who just wanted friends. But now? Shes doing good to keep the one friend she has. People have hurt her so much she retreats to her mind, where no one cane hurt her. Luckily she isn't too far gone that she dosent smile and get out of her thoughts once in a while. Usually the only person she will smile for is Adrian. That or an instructor who praises her. When she's in the castle of her mind sometimes she tends to stare off into space. When she gets into a certain mood her stare is blank and almost lifeless. She tries not to do it anymore so she dosent scare people but sometimes it just happens.
Seemingly Cold
Raid often seem cold, without emotion and mean, but she dosent truly mean too. She guesses its because she distants herself from getting emotionally attached, therefore seeming cold. She tries her best to give one friendly smile when she first meets a person so they dont think she's cold but sometimes it just dosent work. Even though she hates people thinking and calling her cold she dosent do anything about it. Its not worth it to her. If she would try she would probably just get herself hurt again, and she cant risk that.
Loyal
If you get past her defenses to protect herself you can find shes fiercely loyal. If you gain her trust she would literally die for you. She will do everything in her power to keep you safe. If someone hurts you? You can bet she will get into a fight. She will act as your all-in-one protection agent. There is a catch though, you have to jump through hoops of fire to earn that much trust from her. Luckily if you manage to be her friend you can still see a quiver of this loyalty. If you manage to become friends with her you will notice even though she wont on purposely get in fights, if shes there, she will stand up for you. She will never tell a secret you've told her and she will most likely stay by your side until the end. One person who's managed to slip past some defenses is Adrian, so you better be nice to him while she around.
Patient and Caring
Onto some good traits about Raid; patient and caring. She's usually very patient and can wait for a couple days without complaining. Ontop of that, even if she dosent show it much, she cares about people. She wont on purposely say or do anything about it, but she dosent want people to feel hurt like she did. Raid makes an excellent teacher since she's so patient, and some people look up to how patient she is. Some wished they had her patience. One person who's noticed her patience is her past riding instructor. He had her help with a few little kids riding lessons because she was so patient, and even though shes just a beginner rider. If Raid see's anyone crying in the corner, even if her mind begs her not to, she will try and confort them. She trys to do the one thing she's always wanted, for someone to confort her.
Her mom describes Raid's patience/personality with this quote;
Quietly I will endure. Silently I will suffer. Patiently I will wait. For I am a warrior. And I will survive. - Unknown
History:
Raid was born into a very poor family. It was just her mother and father for a while. That is until she turned 5. At that young age her father left and not long after that her baby brother was born. They struggled and struggled to survive in this harsh world where no body cares about others. When she was 10, just 4 years ago, she turned to stealing. Even though it was illegal, it helped her family survive, so she countinued to do it. Ever since she was 7 years old she had a best friend. He happened to be a stable hand at a nearby farm. This farm happened to have a couple of horses.
.
He introduced her to horses and she was instantly in love. She would spend alot of her day just observing the horses. Raid tried to get hired by the farm but they didn't need anymore help and they saw her as worthless, she was a begger's child afterall. However when she turned to stealing she was able to wrack up enough extra cash that her family didn't need, to take lessons. She had three lessons when one day she happened to get caught stealing. She immediately ended up in the juvenile hall. Soon she then ended up at Tranquility Ranch. However before she came to the ranch she found out something that would make her not trust others. The person who had caught her happened to her best friend. He had known about her stealing problem almost as soon as it started, yet he promised not to tell.
.
Years later, he broke that promise. This wasn't the first time people had broke their promises to her, so now she is very distrusting. All those years of stealing had also taken a toll on her. She used to do it out of trying to help her family, and she still does, to a certain extent, but now she thinks of it as fun. She loves the adrenaline of trying not to get caught. It helps that she very rarely gets caught. She has become a master at swiping small things, and to be honest shes pretty good at stealing bigger stuff too. She hates getting caught, yet she risks it. She loves stealing so much you could say shes got an addiction to it.

Name:
Camyrn
Nickname:
Cam
Age:
5
Gender:
Female/Mare
Breed:
Arabian
Appearance:
Camryn is a sleek black mare with a reputation to run. She has a silky black mane and tail that isn't too long yet not too short. She has a slim build, making her a master at flying through the air. Camryn has a white stripe on her forehead that comes down and goes around her muzzle. Her muzzle stripe is by far her favorite place to be rubbed so if you manage to be able to pet her, you'll want to pet her there. She also has a pastern marking on her left front leg as well as an ankle marking on her left back leg. The one down side to her sleek and silky appearance? Her pink nose. Since it's pink istead of a normal black, on hot days it can easily burn. Luckily this can be avoided if you rub some cream onto her nose. She dosent like it per say but she knows it helps. She burned her nose once, and it wasn't pleasant. Camryn weighs about 873 lbs and is 14.5 hands tall.
Personality:
| Skittish | Wary | Flight rather than fight |
~
| Loyal | Playful | Friendly | Smart | Talented |
.
Camryn is very, and i mean very skittish. If there's a loud sound? Cam's gone running. If there's yelling and/or a very stern voice? Cam's gone running. She's ran away from alot things and dosent intend to stop. Even if its so much as a firm hand on her skin she'll take off running. This is why she's labeled a level four, if she would let you get close, you can bet the training will go alot faster from there. The key is to be gentle and kind with her.
.
Aside from her very skittish nature, she can be quite loyal and playful. If you notice her staying by your side when shes scared, or just in general, that's a sign shes getting used to you and sees you as a friend and not a threat. You can also know shes getting comfortable if she trys to play with you. Wether that be just nudging you playfully, stealing your hat, or full on running around you playfully, you can bet shes getting more comfortable. If you get her to the point she stays by your side no matter what, dosent get spooked my the littlest thing, and trys to play regularly, you can know shes ready to move on to tackling jumps and advanced stuff like that.
.
Once you get her properly trained you can bet to notice she actually isn't that bad of a horse. She's loyal, playful, friendly, smart and talented. Even though shes not the fastest, like her first owner wanted, she has great endurance. She would be an excellent jumper or cross country horse. Camryn loves the feeling of flying over jumps, or being outside. She really is a good horse if you get to know her.
History:
Camryn was born into a racing facility. She was quickly sold though because she wasn't fast enough for the human's liking. She traded homes alot in such a short time of a year. When she was about 3 years old she found herself in an abusive home. There she became skittish and wary. After a horrible year there, she was given to a kill pin where she just got worse. Luckily Tranquility Ranch found her and took her in. She's now as healthy as she once was and just needs some training.
Difficulty Level:
Four;
All she really needs is a gentle hand and voice along with some patients.
