Personality Marcus keeps his true self secluded and rarely shows it, instead he hides behind a facade. Rather than talk about his feelings Marcus will give a sarcastic comment or blow it off as nothing he couldn't handle, not to worry. A tough guy, he pretends he can take it all while suffering on the inside. He does not come off as caring, but he is a man who feels deeply, he just hides that feeling.
Mark is a hard one to decipher because he’s so fluently changing all of the time. One moment he may appear to you as completely approachable and friendly and at another time he might radiate the need to be left alone. A lot of that has to do with the fact that he’s rapidly adapting to the environment and situations that he’s being placed in, the rest is more focused toward the reality that he never really had the experience of socially adjusting anywhere. Marcus doesn’t keep to one standardized image and tends to vary between his personality flaws and habits.
There is also the curious, yet rebellious, side to him. It doesn't matter what it was, he always wanted to learn about anything. He is a quick learner. However, he was often hasty, lightheaded, and impulsive. He was also known to lose his temper, and let his frustration get the better of him. Marcus is stubborn and willful about his personal opinions, even when things looked hopeless and everyone disagreed with him. Once he set himself upon a course he would see it through till the end, and would allow nothing to stop him. He is very loyal to his friends and people he loves. History Marcus grew up in a normal family environment. He had a sister named Abigail who was six years younger than him and his parents owned a fairly successful business. He started riding when he was seven but it wasn't a big deal to him, just something his mother wanted him to do. However, when he was twelve, he got into competitive swimming. And boy was he good at it. He took to the water like a fish, gaining him that nickname from Abby. He was on his way to the top. Then life took a drastic change for him.
Just after he turned seventeen, he promised Abigail he would take her and her friend to the movies since their parents were working. On the way, Marcus look his eyes of the road for just a moment to look back at the two in the backseat, who had started arguing, and it was too late. A tractor and trailer who had lost control of his truck swerved into their lane and hit them in the side, the side his sister was on. She died on impact.
Marcus gave up swimming after he recovered from the crash. He gave up everything for half a year, then he got into riding more. It gave him the thrill and excitement that he needed and has never stopped riding since. Horse(s) Roulette Pets[/size]

Personality Reinette is very passionate in all that she engages herself in. She is compassionate, but she is also very proud. Because of her past, she has become solitary, suspicious, and practical. She was always wary of everyone, from strangers to her closest friends, and her suspicion made her dislike taking chances, especially for the sake of others. She would not hesitate to defend herself or whatever she held dear, no matter the cost to others. Reinette is also very intelligent and strong-willed. She is also quite stubborn on occasion. Whenever she makes a decision, nothing can change her mind. She doesn't like to show her feelings to others, as she likes to maintain the impression for herself and for others that she is unbreakable. She is not fast to warm up to anyone, but once she does she will love and protect you with all that she has. History Reinette was the third child in the family. Her sister, Samantha, is six years older than her, her brother, Joseph, four years. When she was old enough to walk, she started riding. Her father, Brandon, was a champion barrel racer and he taught her everything. His mare had a foal when Reinette was six and she raised the colt to be her own horse. You couldn't find a closer father daughter relationship that those two. During a race, Brandon’s horse took a turn to sharp and her legs slid out from under her. He was crushed under her. Three days later, he died in the hospital.
Reinette took the death worse than anyone. When she finally got control over her pain, she gave up riding and rarely spent time with her horse. She dove into her school work and ignored everyone around her. Her sister had left for college by this time and her brother knew very little about horses, while her mother didn’t have time to take care of her horse or the money to pay someone to look after him. So she decided to sell him. This snapped Reinette back into her old self, or close to it. She didn’t ride as much, never any barrel racing, but she spent a lot of time with Abe. Whenever she did school, read, or just wanted to be alone, she would spend her time with him. She has finally started barrel racing again, but she doesn't do it very often. Her mother put her in DRR hoping it would bring Reinette out of her shell and she would start riding fully again. Horse(s) Abe Pets[/size]

Personality He is quick with his words and they often come out hurtful. He is usually stoic, impassive and reserved. He refuses most questions about his past to people who did not know his identity already, and even then treated most of them coldly and indifferently, and with a very serious attitude. His span of tolerance is short, and he frequently becomes annoyed or impatient with people around him. Harold also tends to be opinionated and outspoken.
He has a fierce personality to her and shows it openly, and have no problem doing it. However, there is more to him than just an impression, he has parts of his past that are a bit dark, and that has caused him to grow a bit cynical. He doesn't like to show his feelings to others, as he likes to maintain the impression for himself and for others that he is unbreakable. He is not fast to warm up to anyone, but once he does he will protect you with all that he has. History Harold lived with his mother and step-father. His real father left when he found out his girlfriend was pregnant at the young age of 16. Harold was three when his mother actually married and the man was really nice to him. He had a good life.
He grew up in Westchester, New York and he started riding horses at the age of ten. At first, he wasn't really fond of it. His riding instructor was rude to both her students and the horses and the pony he rode was old and could barely even trot. But he stuck with it because his mother wanted him to try new things.
The instructor ended up getting fired because she was caught abusing one of the horses. A new woman came in who was sweet and did her job correctly. After a few years, Harold got a job working at the stable. He's been a stable hand for three years now and has learned a lot since then, enough that they let him train colts and fillies and sometimes give lessons.
The stable offered up a drawing to go to the DRR and Harold won it. Even though this was supposed to be his vacation, he works there just like if he was actually getting paid. Horse(s) none that he owns, but he usually rides Knight. Pets[/size]
