I could drag you from the ocean,
I could pull you from the fire
And when you're standing in the shadows
I could open up the sky
And I could give you my devotion
Until the end of time
And you will never be forgotten
With me by your side

Full Name Kimberly Rose Glendower
Nickname Kim [Feel free to come up with one]
Age 19 Years Old
Gender Female
Role The Youngest Daughter

Hair Her hair is reasonably long, it is light brown in colour. It has a slight wave to it which is increased after she has worn it in a plait or braids. Her hair is usually put in some sort of braids, or left to hang out.
Facial Features Her eyes are green in colour, they are almond shaped. She has a couple of acne scars around her face, but they aren't really recognisable unless you come up close.
Skin Her skin is fair, but often tanned due to working and being in the sun. She has quite a few scars littered all over her body, mainly from horse riding injuries but also from when she was just clumsy. She has a small horseshoe tatoo on her right wrist.

Sexuality Heterosexual

Personality Kimberly is here, there, in front, behind she is rushing around everywhere to get everything done. She is out and about, always busy with something whether it is hanging out with the horses or going to town. She enjoys waking up the earliest she can, taking the time to enjoy the morning and getting some relaxation done before a busy day. She likes to keep herself active, doing some sort of fitness at least three times a week, be that going on a run around town and the paddocks or working with the horses. he loves to be free and can't really sit still or stay quiet for too long. Her passion for horses is indescribably, and would only move away somewhere if it related to that passion. She has a strong connection to her family and hates it when anything bad happens to anyone, thus the death of her father hit her heard. Drawing and riding are her way of relieving herself of stress, they keep her mind busy and they take her away. She fears ever disappointing anyone, and always tries her hardest to meet everyone's expectations.

Scholarship & Coming Back Despite the fact that she moved away to complete her college years on a scholarship she was reluctant at first. Her parents, mainly her father, pushed her to go and have the experience. They wanted her to see the city life and life outside of Lysander. That scholarship had been for equestrian sports, and the deal was that she would have to compete on the school's equestrian team for the rest of her college years and the college would provide her with a premium education. She was lucky that she was able to take her one and only prized possession, her horse, her companion, her true friend. The college paid for all the transportation costs, that being quite a bit due to the fact this college was located in Australia. Through these scholarship years, she experienced the high life, competing in shows, forming a deeper bond with her horse, and gaining friends and enemies in the equestrian world. The choice of coming back to the ranch with the news that Papa Louis had died was a no-brainer, but this time there was no fancy scholarship to pay for the transportation, but she found a way. Any earnings she had gotten from competitions she had gotten to keep, and over the course of the three years she had been at the college she participated in quite a few competitions and the money piled up. She had known that she would end up needing it one day, refraining from spending too much of it. She had also gotten herself a job as a waitress, only spending as much money that she could earn in a week. Using her saved up the money she flew back home as soon as she could, bringing her horse and her new dog with her.

Her Pets The Horse Kimberly's prized possession is her best friend, the horse she's had since her childhood. Rosie is a 18-year-old Appaloosa mare that Kimberly loves with all her heart. Kimberly was 5 when she got Rosie, while the mare was only 4 years old at the time. With the help of her parents Kimberly started to ride the mare, and the pair formed a deep bond. As Kimberly got older she would run through the paddocks just trying to find Rosie, and would always give the mare a sneaky treat when she sw her. Rosie was, and still is, the sweetest mare. She is quiet, obedient and know s what it is that is expected of her. The bond that the two have is indescribable, and Kimberly now couldn't imagine a time without her and can't remember what it was like before they met.
The Dog Kimberly aquired a young Border Collie puppy while she was in Australia. Crash is 8 months old and has a zest for life. The male lilac border collie just wants to play and run around all the time. Kimberly aims to train him for herding and possibly do some recreational agility with him.

[Boxen.]

Willow

Name;; Willow Maxwell _____ [Formerly Barnes]
Nicknames;; Will, Lilly
Gender;; Female
Age;; 21
Role;; Second Son's wife

Appearance;; Long brown hair, bright hazel eyes and light freckles dancing across her nose, she normally is quite casual with what she wears. Usually, her style includes jeans and knee high boots with either a sweater, lumberjack shirt or denim shirt. Her hair is usually pulled into a pony tail for working.

Personality;; Naïve yet enthusiastic, barely anything gets her down as she tries to see the best in everything and everyone. She also cares deeply for the people and animals around her, often making sure they are alright before she takes care of herself. Her husband is the light of her world and she would do anything to make sure he is happy, she feels that their marriage is the best thing to have happened to her. However, when it comes down to running a ranch, she is one of the most confident people, knowing both how and when to do something as well as just being rough and tough when the animals try to push her around. She knows how to take care and ride horses, herd livestock and get them ready for market from her father and how to fix clothes, cook very basic recipies and first aid from her mum. She can drift off into a dream if she isn't doing anything and so spends a good majority of her free time reading or just staring out of a window.
Fears;; Drowning, letting those she cares about die

History;; She was born and raised on a ranch with her sister. It wasn't anything special: just a few livestock, horses, barn, crops, ect. The most interesting thing were the ridges and plains out behind it. It was there, in fact, that her father took her out to see the mustangs and even taught her how to ride. It was after this that she helped raise and train a young orphan apoloosa colt which she called 'Skip', who would eventually be given to her before she left the ranch. As well as this, she was mostly in charge of helping out around the ranch with mostly driving the cattle and making sure everything on the farm was in top shape. When she met Winifred she was working a low paid job but felt drawn in and soon she had made a close friend. Before she knew it, she had moved out from the ranch and in with him.

Pets;; Skip - 7yr old appaloosa stallion. She raised him from a foal when she was 14 and worked with him all his life. She cared about him too much to let him go and so brought him wherever she went, making sure he had a field and ample food and water each time she saw him. He is pretty bombproof and is mostly used for herding though he does enjoy barrel racing, cutting and other western events.
Copper - 4 yr old male blue Australian heeler. She rescued him from a shelter a short time before she met Winifred. He is completely soppy and always begs for strokes no matter who is around him as well as begging for food by placing his head on the leg of the person he wants it from. Will would tell him off but he's been through too much for her to. In an effort to make him somewhat useful, she trained him to be a herding dog who will run along side both horses and other livestock during travels, keeping them in line and generally helping out on the ranch. She still doesn't trust him around children though.

Finley



Name;; Finley Matthew _____
Nicknames;; Finn, Finny
Gender;; Male
Age;; 5
Role;; Eldest son's son

Appearance;; Dark brown messy hair, deep brown slightly slanted eyes and a rounded face, he normally wears whatever his parents dress him in. However, a recurring style tends to be jeans, red and white shirt, and a pair of trainers with a black hat if he feels like it.

Personality;; Bubbly and happy, he always tries to do the right thing and make people smile. He has a heart of gold and loves his family alot, giving them hugs even if they stop smiling even for a split second. However, he can get quite nervous around strangers, often hiding behind the chosen parent's leg and refusing to talk but ,once he does get talking, it can be quite hard to get him to stop. As well as this, he gets very nervous when he is the centre of attention and regularly has nightmares. He adores animals and nature but has never really experienced it due to living in the city. So, when he heard that they were going to the ranch, he was just about the happiest person in the house.
Fears;; Crowds, loud noises/storms, fire

Pets;; He has always wanted a pet rabbit or cow, both not really suitable for the city life he was brought up in.

"How can I say this without breaking
How can I say this without taking over
How can I put it down into words
When it's almost too much for my soul alone

I loved and I loved and I lost you
I loved and I loved and I lost you
I loved and I loved and I lost you
And it hurts like hell
Yeah it hurts like hell

I don't want them to know the secrets
I don't want them to know the way I loved you
I don't think they'd understand it, no
I don't think they would accept me, no

I loved and I loved and I lost you
I loved and I loved and I lost you
I loved and I loved and I lost you
And it hurts like hell
Yeah it hurts like hell

Dreams fight with machines
Inside my head like adversaries
Come wrestle me free
Clean from the war
Your heart fits like a key
Into the lock on the wall
I turn it over, I turn it over
But I can't escape
I turn it over, I turn it over

I loved and I loved and I lost you
I loved and I loved and I lost you
I loved and I loved and I lost you
And it hurts like hell"

xxxxxName; Winifred Quince Glendower
xxxxxNicknames; Freddy, Winnie, Fred, Quin, Quincy
xxxxxAge; Twenty-six
xxxxxGender; Male
xxxxxRole; Second Son
xxxxxSexuality; Closeted Homosexual
xxxxxCrush; Still Cowboy
xxxxxFamily; Willow (Spouse), Kim (Younger Sister),
xxxxxPersonality; Freddy is quick to break or cry, especially for a guy. He's never been emotionally strong, despite his decent physical strength and abilities. He finds himself as a quitter, which brings his self-esteem down even more. When it comes to others, he can't find himself saying no easily and sacrifices his own needs in turn for others in a heart beat. All around, he's pretty passive and would never want hurt anyone, but this makes him quite the push-over. He could never be a father himself because of this since he would practically give the child everything they every ask for and never want to punish them. Even so, he just doesn't want kids of his own, which he makes sure Willow knows. With his marriage, he outwardly acts kind and happy with his wife, but never really lets her see him cry and break as he does. He gets stressed over every little thing, especially with coming back to the ranch and what-not, so he usually takes short times out of the day to freak out alone as he doesn't want to let anyone in to see his bad side. If he gets angry or purely pissed, that's when to watch out. He wont get violent, but he'll speak his mind completely, which can be quite harsh and blunt.
xxxxxHistory; Ever since Freddy was young, he was terrible with relationships. He didn't really admit to himself that he wasn't straight until he me Jace Monroe. He soon began to love him and he knew he couldn't doubt that, so they actually started going out. Fred can always say that those were the happiest days of his life. However, when the thought of telling his family that he not only is gay, but also dating the family friend came up, he soon got scared. The stress was too much for him, so he moved off and lived else where. That's when he met Willow. He quite admired her work on her own ranch, but he was far from being in love with her. He started to be her friend, which turned into them dating, which turned into engaged- You get the idea. He can't say he's quite miserable with Willow, but he isn't as happy as the days he spent with Jace. He couldn't afford to live on another ranch with working as farm hand for other people, but he did manage to live in a nice country house for Willow.

The Eldest Son


Name
Dominik Hecktor Glendower
Called
Dom or Heck
Age
36

Personality
Dominik is a serious guy most all of the time. He is intelligent and driven. Dom is not the kind of guy who will allow himself to fail. Even though so many say that his career is failing. In his eyes, you either win or you learn. So he is learning what not to do to succeed. When he is with his family Dom is calm and put on the face of peace. Never letting the troubles of work ruin his home life.
History
Dominik is the eldest son of Luis Glendower. He is the only half sibling to the rest. His mother had died not long after he was born and his father remarried soon after. As far as he knows he and his father are the only ones who knew of this. Heck lived a pretty normal life growing up. He did well in school and played sports. Back then he had no ideas of becoming a lawyer. In fact, he had a much different dream in those days. Like with most dreams though it didn't take. So when he was seventeen he started studying law. He lived at home and went to a nearby college to get his degree. He passed his bar exam when he was twenty-three. Heck moved to New York a few years later. He wasn't there long before he met the most charming young lady he had ever laid eyes on. They dated for a while and were soon married and had a bright-eyed baby boy.
