Assailant -- Year 226
"But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

Nitika is a mare that doesn't take anything from anyone. She will fight for herself whenever the need arises, and absolutely despises the thought of being referred to as a stallion's property. She knows how things in the wild work, she just does not like being called such. Around stallions, she can be quite rude and boisterous, as she knows what they think of the mares. Some have been chivalrous to her though, so her manners are not completely gone yet. Nitika adores foals, and does dream of the day when she can have one of her own. She enjoys playing with them and providing care for them to try and forget and heal the pain she dealt with during her own foal hood. She has a quick temper with a mouth to match, but knows when to hold herself back. That does not mean she enjoys it, but is smart about certain things. She loves being able to run and stretch out her legs, and enjoys proving her superior speed against stallions that try to catch her. Nitika can also be a bit rough around the edges until one takes the time to get to know her. Once you've earned her loyalty, you've earned it for life, but if you show her a reason to break it off, you will never get it back.

Nitika's coloring was an immediate cause to ostracize not only her but her mother. Inheriting her scheme from her dam, Nitika knew she was different, but didn't, at her young age, see why it was a bad thing. The stallion's herd her mother lived with at the time was willing to accept the foal, thinking she was very sweet, adorable, and a great playmate, but horrified by her abnormal coloring, a select few horses chased her out. The stallion forced Nitika's mother to stay, despite her own odd paint coloring as well. Nitika cried out for her mother, but could only run for her life as the stallion and a couple of the mares chased her away just shy of 6 months. The majority of herds Nitika came across were unwilling to accept her, viewing her markings as a bad omen. One herd was kind enough to take her in, and a loving mare adopted Nitika as her own daughter and cared for her during the last month that she needed proper nutrition from nursing. After she reached the age of a weanling, Nitika's independent side began to show, and she frequently found herself challenging the older colts, fillies, and the ones her age to races to see who was faster or smarter. Though she would lose a lot in the beginning, she never let her get that down, and at the age of a year, finally beat the others in a race. Just after turning a year, Nitika's herd was split apart by a group of humans that came out to capture the horses for their own use. Viewing Nitika as a prize since her markings were revered in human history, they separated her from her adopted mother and friends. She was taken away, but while the humans had stopped for a rest, Nitika broke free and ran as fast as she could, wanting to get away and return to her herd. After arriving back where they'd last resided, Nitika found that half of the band, including the stallion and her adopted mother, were gone. The few mares that remained were lost without a leader, so they all grazed together, taking care of one another. A young bachelor stallion arrived one day and gathered the mares up, chasing Nitika off as he did not wish to have her around; unknown to her, he was one of the colts from a previous herd she'd lived with that was told her markings brought bad luck. Ostracized once again and only eighteen months, Nitika found herself living on her own for over a year until she made her way to the lands of Beqanna. She has since found a home within the Falls, but has temporarily been living in the Chamber, so to allow the sire of her daughter, Siba, to be involved in his foal's life. Before the land of Beqanna changed, Nitika and Siba went their separate ways, as the filly wished to stay with her sire. Nitika was visiting when the changes happened, and the two became separated. Nitika was injured during the changes, and was later discovered by her daughter. Siba convened Nymphetamine to let her go to the Tephra with the rest of the horses on their way to that Nitika could rest and recover.
