Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?

Name: Rimosa
Meaning: Rimosa is Latin for leaky and full of cracks.
Why: I named her Rimosa because it reminded me of names that relate to red and it seemed to fit her really well. Her paint markings are the cracks and her bridling could either be more cracks or the leaking.
So show me family, all the blood I will bleed.
Age: 6 years
Height: 16.2hh
Personality: Oh, this one's complex, trust me. Just like her coat, she has different aspects. She does get frequently compared with fire for multiple reasons.
Fire is beautiful.
Her coat is very pretty and the red tones underneath the white often remind others of fire. Her yellow eyes reflect the outer edges of flame that are of the same color and her mane and tail curl like the edges of a blaze.
The destructive side of fire, how it consumes itself and everything around it.
Rimosa is a harsh critic, of herself and others, and can easily snuff out someone's good mood with a few well placed blows. The mare has high standards for other kelpies, and frowns upon those who do not met them. Frowning soon turns into ignoring or ridicule. However, she is also hard on herself. She puts herself down over the littlest of things, often making her retreat to a lonesome place in her mind. Very few kelpies can ever get her out of this state, and usually one has to simply wait for it to blow over.
The movement of flame.
The mare is not exactly a wanderer, though that word could be stretched to describe her. She flares up in a place, stays there for a while, then usually ends up destroying her life there. Without much to call her own, she listens for new places. Tales that spark her interest are pursued, and that is usually how she finds a new place to settle for a while.
The light and warmth of fire has comforted many souls.
While she may not seem it with all of this talk of moving about and harsh judgement, Rimosa can be a decent kelpie. When she isn't in a funk and the winds are tuned right, she is warm towards other kelpies and maybe even kind. She tries to bring knowledge and advice to other kelpies, that is her light and warmth. But she is not very old, and she finds herself learning just as much as she teaches.
Fire, when it is going strong, is ferocious.
This aspect is a two-sided coin. On one hand, she is ferocious when angered. She holds grudges for long periods of time and lashes out with words, teeth and hooves when upset. On the other hand, this is channeled into a protective spirit she has. While fire cleared out the old and weak to make way for the new, fire is also a great protector. After all, what can get past a wall of fiercely burning flame? Rimosa can become that wall of fire, protecting you the best she can, if she feels that the cause is just and that it is necessary.
Sparks are a fire's way of reaching out to its surroundings.
Rimosa is a kelpie who does seek the company of others. Though, most of the time her conversations are petty and the spark dies. She still does it though, ever on a quest for new bits of knowledge to consume.
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was wrong like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?
I'm going to have the same reason as many others trying for her. To say it honestly and simply, her looks drew me in. With her yellow eyes, impressive coat and wavy mane, of course she was going to attract a lot of attention. But this mare can be so much more than just a pretty face. I'm really starting to like her as I try to figure out who she really is underneath that lovely pelt.

Like fire, I live and die, the in-between roaring and racing out of control.
Like fire, I go wherever the wind takes me, never setting down roots,
But rather burning them up.
Fire, fire, burning so bright.
My life, my light.
Fire, fire, burning so bright,
Watch how it spreads during my sleep tonight.
Like on a star, I wish I may, I wish I might,
That fire may not burn me up this night.
