Taia hails from potent lines, and it shows. Whenever this filly expresses something, expect it to be expressed strongly. If Taia is angry, she'll be furious; if Taia is lazy, she'll barely move. And if Taia does not want to be messed with, well, you'd better be ready to dodge her teeth and hooves. Taia does things to the extremes and nowhere in between. Her strong personality makes her a tough horse to deal with, a terrifying force of nature. The good news is that Taia does not change her mood very often. While she does have a tendency to display emotions at the extremes, it is unlikely that she will change over to the emotions on the opposite side of the spectrum for some time. At least with Taia, you can rely on some degree of emotional stability. With other horses, Taia exerts a dominating aura. Being a forceful horse, she exerts herself as alpha in any and all situations. And because of that power, Taia also neverbacks down. The power of her mood is reflected in the strength of her will. With Taia, you get a package deal of force and courage that is unrivaled in many a horse.
Leg Type: Front Runner
Taia is the alpha in any situation that she finds herself in. Her forceful personality is apparent the moment she steps foot on the track. Taia allows herself to be led by nobody. She will not even let a pony be ridden alongside her for warm-ups or one to catch her after a race; such treatment involves following another, and Taia responds with force until the situation is corrected. When the gates open, Taia refuses to be anything but the first horse out. She has a lightning fast break and immediately takes the lead. At the beginning of the race, Taia does not care how much of a lead she has, as long as it is hers. However, she will fight for that lead with every ounce of gritty determination that she possesses, trusting her will to last her throughout the race should her body want to fail. But when the stretch comes, Taia wants to do nothing less than exert full dominance. A win is not a good win unless it is by open lengths, and Taia seeks this goal with every race that she runs in. Winning is her passion as it asserts her full dominance over her foes, and Taia relishes it like nothing else.
