Even though they have never met, Icee definitely seems to take after her father. She is arrogant, stuck up and seems to think she is above everyone, and everything else. She just loves to show off, often posing for the cameras in the winners circle. She loves attention, she loves to be given the respect she feels that she deserves, and she will throw a real strop if she thinks she isn't getting treated like a princess. She thrives in a competitive environment, feeding off of the atmosphere like a parasite. She just can't get enough of it and the more competitive something is the more she is going focus and throw her all in to it. After all, she has come to understand that if she does well she is more likely to get all of the attention than if she fails to shine. Due to her arrogance, Icee can find it very difficult to form a bond with anyone however when she does manage to bond with someone she is fiercely loyal to them and will fight for their sake. As such, bonding with her jockey will make her an even more fierce competitor - as if she even needs this added incentive! In the paddock, Icee is a highly dominant mare. She is not afraid to use violence, although she doesn't seem to need to - anyone would think she had perfected the warning glare the way that other horses behave around her. She seems to be a rather fun-loving little thing, and will often find something amusing to do around the stable, usually causing havoc in doing so. It's really best to leave her in the paddock, where she can burn off her large amount of energy, than to keep her locked up in her stable all day.
Icee takes strongly after her father. She is arrogant, stuck up and thinks she is above everyone, horse or human. Her favorite activity is to show off, especially before a huge crowd, and she will go to almost any lengths to succeed.
Leg Type: Front/Preceder
How Icee runs really depends on the field she is against, and the situation. Give her a fast-paced race and she'll happily take up a position as a preceder where she can save her energy for the stretch. In this position, she will sit at a slightly lower pace than the front runners to preserve herself for the stretch where she will experience a surge in speed. Give her a medium or slow-paced race, on the other hand, and this girl is pure front runner. No matter what her jockey says she will quickly take up first place and stay there throughout the race. Due to the lower pace she is still able to save something for the stretch, and she will show her strength, power and speed in the final few furlongs. No matter which style she is running in, however, you can guarantee one thing - she'll be focussed, feeding off of the competition and prepared for a fight. When it comes down to head on head competition she will give her all, and even more, in order to take a win and she does not submit to anybody. Her desire to cross the post in first is fuelled first by her arrogance and secondly by the fact that she knows she will get attention if she does - she has been conditioned and trained to strive for just that.
