Fiadh
"Fee-ah"
Name meaning: "Wild."
Gender: Mare, She/Her
Sexuality: Straight
Age: Twelve years old.
Moral alignment: Chaotic neutral.
Appearance: Chestnut sabino Irish Draught Horse. She has broad shoulders and muscles of fine strength, developed from years of plowing fields. She carries herself with honesty, humbleness, and the fortitude of a horse who has worked hard every day of her life. A very robust build.
She has a few scrapes from various accidents, but Fiadh thinks they give herself character.
She has a bearing of quiet confidence, of a subtle toughness. She has a deep girth, well-built legs, and powerful hindquarters, giving her an aptitude for jumping. Not something one would expect of a plow horse. Standing at 17hh, she is taller than average for her breed.
Personality: Fiadh is modest, first and foremost. When there's work to be done, you do your job and learn not to expect an ounce of praise. She doesn't believe there's much room for a pat on the back, unless you do something extraordinary.
She has a very "do your job, stay out of trouble" line of thinking.
Despite this philosophy, she's actually quite personable. She'll treat you like an old friend, even if you just met. As far as Fiadh concerned, if you give her a reason not to like you from the start, she'll quickly become your new pal.
Fiadh is quite hardy. She's plowed fields in extreme heat and the bitter cold, she didn't complain once.
However, this can cause her to be insensitive when others can't handle the tough conditions she can.
Fiadh is also very honest. No matter how close you are to her, if she believes you're diving head-first into a potentially disastrous situation, she'll tell you upfront. She doesn't like those who lie to spare others' feelings; she just cannot comprehend why someone would do that.
Fiadh has the resilience of one who knows the difficulty of manual labor - she's got the backbone to face whatever you throw at her.
Voice: Fiadh has a deep, resonant voice that can either carry calm and clearly, or turn into an excited, thunderous roar. There's a distinct drawl to it that hints to her origins on the farm. She has a simple, if not old-fashioned way of speaking.
Strengths
Fortitude: She is both mentally and physically strong. It takes a lot to get her to break.
Sociable: Very friendly. Can get along with just about anyone.
Hardworking: If you assign her a task, she'll give it her all.
Weaknesses
Myopic: Her experiences are limited to working and living on the farm, that has shaped her judgement. This can lead to poor-decision making in fields she is unfamiliar in.
Perspective-blind: She sometimes struggles to understand others' ways of thinking if they conflict with her values.
Pushy: She can push boundaries, even if her intentions are good, she still does it nonetheless.
Fears/Phobias
Being alone
Being considered weak
Not being liked
"I don't like those who only think of themselves. I reckon they're not very smart, because they probably don't think of much else." -Fiadh
