Seasonal design slot character, originally posted on April 3, 2015
Name: Valhalla
Age: Three, Orangemoon
Species: Demon x equine hybrid (Classic, I know)
Coloration or design: A stout Mustang who's rich black coat is highlighted by delicate white streaks that cover her rump and surround her left eye. Damned by her sire, Valhalla can be seen anywhere she goes as her stark white patterns glow at night, as well as her cloudy, pupiless eyes and cloven hooves. An average length jet black mane falls over her strong neck in silky threads, her tail matching in texture and color but growing in length to trail along the ground as she moves. One thin braid of white hair runs down the left side of her tail and muscle makes up for her lack of height while the mare sits at 14.2 hands.
Other: Night-blind in left eye, markings help her see out of it, but not very well. Wears a thin solid gold bracelet below her front right ankle that appears to be two small woven sticks (Governess bracelet given by The Red)
Personality: Quiet, loyal, and levelheaded would be the most common adjectives to use for the woman. A short supply of self-esteem easily leaves the woman feeling like a lesser next to someone of power or simply someone she may think of as beautiful, but she rarely lets the pain get to her and simply pushes on. She isn't one to show any weak emotions and tends to bottle any negative feelings up until she's alone. Lastly, being raised as a worker for Royalty has taught her to keep her tongue, her responses always thought through and brief.
History: Born to a slave woman and her Demon king, Valhalla was brought into the world without a name and inherited the curse of unconcealable markings as a sign of her mixed blood. She grew up in an underground city simply called Hell by it's inhabitants (which was really dubbed Urd) where light came from rolling pits of magma and geysers of fire and the food was dusty and unpalatable. Stripped from her mother's tit as soon as she was old enough to survive on her own, Valhalla was forced into the Royals' home and given the rank of a maid. After gaining the trust of The Red (who was in comparison the Queen or First Lady), she became a midwife just after she turned a year old, eventually being promoted to a Governess to the twins she helped birth. She was treated fairly as she aged, given the name "Valhalla" by the children, having previously been only known by her rank name. The woman was content with her simple and busy life, but the days she felt were so familiar came crashing down when Urd was overthrown by a rouge band of Demons. Their city was flushed and destroyed, the marble buildings that housed the Royals crumbled in heaps of sooty white rock by the end of just one attack; the stick huts that had housed the slaves torched. Hundreds of bodies were incinerated by overflowing magma rivers as large chunks of rock and stone splashed down into their path, screams echoing through the underground system for hours upon hours. Another governess and three of the pureblood children escaped the chaos with only their lives, having to leave behind the dark world that they knew so well.
Magic: [P]: Markings and eyes glow at night
