Owner: Hell Hound
Name: I'll wait please ^^ But for now I will call her Basil
Gender: Mare
Personality: If you think you can push over Basil, you're absolutely wrong. This mare is strong and will taste blood if she needs to. She is a fierce warrior and is very cunning and smart, though she is young and without much experience, she is very intelligent and she can't be fooled by sly little tricks. Basil may be a little too headstrong at times and is a natural born leader. However, she is not ruthless and will always give others a chance to let their voices be heard. She does not want to ever be consumed by power, and will never let herself be. She'd rather her true-self be flung off a cliff than be turned into a monster of greed.
Basil is incredibly loyal and would leap into flames to save another. In fact, she has. In the dry season a wild fire had struck and as the herd fled, one was left behind. It was an elder with wobbly legs and weak spirit. Basil could not bear to leave her and ordered the herd to go on without, and that they would catch up or die trying. The herd would not leave, her friends begged her to not save the old soul, so she did what killed her on the inside, she yelled horrible words at their faces and scared them off. She never meant it one bit, but she had to say the cruel things so that she could atleast try to help the elder.
She sped off, searching for her scent, but it was unfortunately masked by the thick smoke that clogged her lungs. She leaped this way and that, constantly facing tall walls of fire and twisting away before anything more than the strands of her tail be singed. By pure luck she heard a horrid moan of a dying willow tree that crashed down, and she dodged to the side. For a few seconds it provided a clear path through the flames, and she took it, fire breathing on her face. She then found the elder, leaned on a tree succumbed by flames, and nudged her to her feet. She begged her to go faster, and the wise elder knew that the brave young soul would get her out of the flaming forest or die. She cooperated and mustered up the strength to trot, and later painfully gallop.
The first breath of fresh air hit their lungs like air punching into a parachute. It was clear, oh so clear, and so thin. It tailed through their open nostrils with some kind of beauty of life.
They managed to escape the wrath of the great flames, their coats singed black with soot. They stumbled for days, following the tracks of the others, finding shelter where they could. Finally, something moving on the horizon. Was it... It was! The old elder galloped faster than she ever had for years, but Basil... Well Basil feared the worst. Was she kicked out from the herd for saying those horrible taunts? When they came in contact with the others, there were no glares of angry tail-flicks. Just loving nips of affection and nuzzlings.
As great as they felt, they were in bad shape. They had no time to graze the dry grass and were famished, their stomachs eating themselves. Their manes were shriveled and tails were ragged.
Over a few weeks their health returned and they were good as new. Basil had gained what few had, a tolerance for fire. She had braved the flames and held no fear for them. She was strong. Powerful enough to not have fear. Well, except for one thing.
Insulting the herd made her realize how bad it would be had they not forgiven her. So now she is haunted by her greatest fear; to be rejected by the herd. This was her family, her friends, her homeland. Deep in her heart held a passionate love for her peers. Had she been not accepted, she would probably die.
Though she can play rough and be light a warrior, she can be gentle too, especially with foals. She does not make sarcastic remarks that would offend the sensitive and would protect them no matter what. That is her greatest weakness. She will throw herself to the wolves to save another one breath. She would hurt herself, kill herself in order to keep the others safe. This causes damage to her body and her mind, as she is slowly destroying herself and will one day not emerge from the flames. This thought has never changed her mind and she does not regret any moment in which she has put herself in grave danger and felt the hot breath of death.
