NAME Silver Belle
AGE Newly Four Summers
SPECIES Equine
BREED Gypsy Vanner - Cremello coloration
GENDER Mare
AFFILIATION An astounding mare with no herd to join.. Yet..
OVERALL APPEARANCE
Standing at 16 hands, Silver Belle is one to be marvled at. For a Gypsy Vanner, it was natural to have such beauty in all aspects of her breed and grace within each step taken. To make the beauty she has gracefully acquired from her parents, her build is powerful yet compact. Her neck line and back line are short in length, followed with a wide chest and well sprung ribs. Going further into detail, her whithers are well rounded and hips heavy to give her the gentle disposition. Her skeletal frame is big boned, making it easy for her to fend for herself when it comes time to a brawl or holding her ground when cornered.
Starting from the poll and reaching highly past the whithers, her mane measures to be almost 4ft in length, the texture residing to feel almost like silk. The texture, at the poll, is thick though smooth and curls down around the front of her curved ears to reach down to the neck. Her caudal appendage, (tail), begins thick and course and spreads out to a length of almost 5ft, and has a silk presense, though is rough due to dust and debris having been kicked up and thrown into it. Going around the hooves, feathers start well above the fetlock joint and cascade around each hoof little over 1ft long.
The Painted Design
She has an unusual coloration for her breed. One that is not at all common like the skewbald or piebald. Instead she claimed the rare cremello colorations. Cream colored, almost rich white, mane and tail hold a brighter, gleaming tone when getting closer to skin. Her coat itself held the unusual cremello tint of white/cream mixtures. In the winter when a thicker coat would appear, her cream colorations would darken and become more along the line of palomino.
The Eyes
Unlike the 'lucky' horses that capture the astonishing blue or multi-colored eyes - Silver Belle was within the typical rich honeybrown coloration. Of course, that doesn't mean that her eyes were not as special. Often times when trying to calm a foal, or speaking to a skittish horse, they have told her many a time that they enjoyed looking to her eyes for they find comfort there and no sign of dark-hearted desires.

PERSONALITY
* Respect for one's self and others. Silver Belle has learned through the years she has lived that if you do not have respect, you won't get far into life.
* Starlit nights of walking amongst another to talk softly of the adventures of the day.
* Playing with foals so their parents would be able to have 'alone' time for a while.
* A grand story-teller and imagination weaver is what she speaks to the young.
* Being loyal and honest : And getting the same it return
* Protecting and doing the right thing.
* (Having never felt such ways)- The warmth of a strong stallion to either walk with her as just friends, if not moreso.
* Splashing upon the clear waters when the full moon appears, imagining each as a sparkling diamond.
* Many other Likes, though that would be for one to ask and find out now wouldn't it?
Dislikes
* Manners that are obscured and uneeded. There is no way to grab one's attention in such ways.
* Liars are one who cause broken spirits and hearts. Why deal with such equines who words are nothing but poison to the mind?
* Needy Stallions or mares that are just there to woo the other gender. Despiration is not an issue at all with Silver Belle. She knows well how to keep herself composed and ignore such needy behavior if it goes thus far.
* Judgemental equines who never give another a chance upon first sight. How on earth do you manage to make true friends this way?
* Arrogant minds and uneeded words. If you choose to be snobby with her, she will give you a peace of her mind in return, though in a much more stern, yet apporpraite, way.
History
So small, so young, beautiful and full of adventure. Barely a year old and her mind was so full of questions. Though never once was she able to leave to adventure and look to see what the lands had to offer. Having been adopted by a cold-hearted mare and her mate, her life was a living hell. Darkened cremello coat soaked with sweat as she ran as fast as she could on her step-mother's orders. Her step mother was into making Belle's life miserable by making her do things she shouldn't even be doing at this age.
By nightfall, the mother would leave and never come home until the afternoon of the next day. Luckily, Belle was able to spend time with her step-father. He told her that if she waited, soon he would get her out of this mess and into a better place. If only it could be done just as easily as it was said. Belle watched as days went by, doing the same thing each day and growing rather irritated by such ways. She knew her step-father would be able to help, and that's when she took matters into her own hooves.
It was just before the breaking of the sun, the sky somewhat red from the rays of the non-risen sun. The trees flashed by her pelt, her speed making things a meer blur. It was time to escape and she knew her step-father would hold of his mate long enough for her to get away. For this she was grateful. It wasn't long until she was out of her home lands and off somewhere new and far from home. Sure it took about half a days run, though she cared not. She was glad to be away.
Now she travels alone, searching from place to place to see if there was herd she could possibly join. Though it was hard to trust anyone from her past life. Small scars proved her theory to not trust to become sufficient. Meaning her trust would be hard to get. Sure she enjoyed playing with the foals of the herds and speaking with others, but most of the time she was shoved off to return to be alone. For now time will show what her future holds..If anything.
