History: Nikita was just a yearling when her mother was killed by a cougar. She has few memories of her since her mother was always alone with her father. Before her mother's death she had recieved a lil' brother to care for. His name was Montana. His coloring was that of his mother's and reminded Nikita every day to strive to be a better mother to him than her own had been to her.
After the death of her mother her father just left them one night, alone and cold. She never had a fondness of her father and kind of expected him to disappear sooner or later. So she set out with her lil' brother, the most precious thing in her life, to find a herd. After weeks of traveling she stumbled across Esperanza. The older mare kindly invited her brother and herself into her son's, Spirit, herd.
After a few weeks of getting to know the other members of the herd she felt quite comfortable around them all. Especially Esperanza. She acted as the mother she never had. Nikita was soon trusted enough to be the foal sitter of the herd. She loved to play around and nurture the foals.
One day while tending the other foals she noticed that Montana was missing. She quickly got another mare to look after the other foals while she looked for him. After half-an-hour of desperate search she found him on the outskirts of the herd talking to a strange stallion. She rushed up to Montana immediately scolding him for leaving her unaware. Politely interupting her orders, the unknown stallion explained that he was only telling the colt his battle stories for he was a US soldier escapee. Montana put up a bicker of that no stallion like Soldier would ever hurt him, but as much as Nikita tried she couldn't convince him that one would hurt him if he wanted to. All the sudden Soldier excitedly said, "You know she is right! I could just be some rogue that wants to take revenge on this herd! I might just trap you with all my stories and take you hostage! You gotta be careful aorund us rogues." After hearing Soldier convincingly prove her statement Montana believed his sister's words. Nakita realized then that this rogue stallion had a fondness of foals and he was pleasantly charming. Just as Soldier was about to properly introduce himself Spirit came bouldering forward! He angrily lashed out at him warning him to stay back. Nikita despite her efforts of pleading was torn away from someone she was starting to like.
The two only saw each other a few more times, Nakita sneeking out from under the protective eye of Spirit at night. But this didn't last long. Spirit found out and cut off anyway of them seeing each other ever again... and it worked. This act caused Nakita to harden her heart to Spirit, though Esperanza tried to smooth the tension that was there. Finally a year later Nakita decided that it was time for her to leave, the Cimarron just didn't hold the happiness it had before. So after giving her heartfelt good byes to Esperanza, she set out with Montana by her side.
The two made a pretty good team, evading the calvary and stallions, but one day someone else stepped into their life.
