Character
Name: Doolin
Age: 7 Years Old
Gender: Stallion
Appearance:
He is a red roan stallion, standing 17 hands even with a thick body type; shapey and muscular witha large shoulder, round hip, and substancial barrel.
Personality:
Always kind and forever willing to give others a second chance, Doolin possesses a deep respect for life and freedom and often is reluctant to choose violence throughout his life. He can be jealous and stubborn sometimes, sometimes even saying or acting on things without a thorough thought through. One of his flaws is that he predisposed to running away and ignoring his problems while refusing to accept the real emotional tole it can take on him. However, running away from this very fate ultimately led to the murder of his entire herd (which led to a point where he had to face this flaw and overcome it to protect the ones he loves in the future). Furthermore, Doolin is not characterized as someone who cares about being powerful or wants a monumentally heroic life- he just wants to be a normal stallion and a good friend.
Background story:
To his natal herd, Doolin was the heir that was supposed to take over leadership after his aging father, however, Doolin grew up with the idea it would be one of his many older sisters who had spent many more years at his side than the colt. Doolin had no interest in becoming a leader and spent his time roaming about with the other colts. At two years old, the older stallion sent out all the colts from the herd to become a bachelor group and make their own paths. Doolin was supposed to be the only of his peers to stay since he was the heir, but as the pressure of what he was supposed to "be," began to feel all the more real, he snuck away and joined the band, leaving his family behind him.
After crossing hundreds of miles of terrain, the band finally came across a smaller herd in the mountains. Unlike most, this stallion provided generosity, leading the young colts to food and water. He allowed them to stay within the safety of the herd until they were ready to venture off on their own. Doolin took a liking to the leader and helped the stallion guard the mares and even protected him from the unfair/malicious advances of younger stallions, including his own band members. In the end, he was allowed to stay and become a part of the herd.
Over the next few years, Doolin took a mate with the lead stallions blessing and had a foal. Unfortunately, there was a wild fire and it is assumed that his own family was lost to it. Doolin did his absolute best to help as many of the horses out of the flames as he could, but he was injured himself to the severity he had to lay up a few days before he could manage the strength to get up and look for his family. After no avail, he was forced to leave, alone.
After this, Doolin tried to return to his natal herd but ended up learning the herd was gone after farmers ambushed the herd with guns after they were "too close" to their farmland and what horses survived were then picked off by the rivaling herd. His father was lost. With so much guilt, Doolin made a vow that he would never run from his responsibilities again and he would give his life to protect those around him. Even after so much time had passed before he joined the herd he currently resides in, the vow still stands and his loyalty earned him the position he ranks now.
