Battle is very cold. As her dam was, she has an incredibly intimidating presence. Being seventeen hands high contributed to this. She towers over many of the horses around her, and uses this to her full advantage when establishing her dominance. Battle is unique in that she doesn't like to express herself and has rarely made a sound. Unlike the horses around her, the battle she fights is silent. Instead of neighing or snorting or even stomping a hoof, she simply stares her competition down. A look from Battle can be many things. It can be coldly furious, with a bright tint of anger, or it can be unreadable and unknowable. It is always hard to tell what this filly is thinking or feeling due to her lack of expressiveness. You would have more luck divining emotion from a brick wall. What we do know about Battle is that she likes to be unquestionably in charge. She also prefers silence to sound, and any creature that dares to disturb the silence gets stared down in a very challenging manner. Battle is brave in her silence. She is not afraid to challenge. This makes her a very competitive racehorse. She doesn't like to lose to others. Battle loves the thrill of the race and proving her dominance to others.
Leg Type: Front Runner
Battle does not like to have her dominance challenged. Thus, to avoid excessive conflict with her rider, she is a front runner. She is well suited for this task. Battle has an amazing break from the gates that often nearly unseats her rider. During a race she seeks the lead and stays there. If there are other horses around her, she shows them their place by firmly sticking at least a nose into the lead. If challenged, she will not back down, instead hanging on and using up as much power as possible to stay in the lead. She is the suicidal front runner that the crowds love, the horse that shows speed and is determined to stick with it throughout the race. She's the one that engages in a battle of wills with her rider every race and workout and the one that engages in a stubborn speed duel with any other front runners in the race. She never gives up even if she's obviously losing and has uncanny determination unmatched by many a horse.
