A Little Explanation: Marlinda was created for Amy Pond's, formerly spirit luver, contest Bamboozles herd! Thus, she was meant to be ugly. Since she was created for the contest, the first bit of infomation is what was expected for said competition.

Name: Marlinda

Age: Adult

How she feels about Bamboozle: Marlinda was never liked by her herd, thus she was very flattered when Bamboozle tried to steal her. She made no attempt to run away, nor did she resist. She went with the stallion willingly.

How she feels about his herd: Marlinda was always jealous of the other, prettier, more popular mares, so she laughs at them when they complain about being captive, and does her best to be Bamboozles favorite, hoping that he'll treat her better then the rest, giving them a reason to be jealous of her.

Does she love him: She does in the way that the nerd in school looks at the first guy who says that she is cool.

Bio: Marlinda has two different colored eyes and her unusual pattern made her the most hated, least popular mare in her herd. She had a rough life, most horses thinking that she was cursed or something. Never having any friends, she never grew close to anyone nor learned any social skills that would have helped her tremendously in adulthood.

Now, the information that I, personally, give to every character. It will seem short because most of it was summed up in the entry qualifications.

Name: Marlinda

Age: Adult

Gender: Mare

Breed:  Unknown

Color:  Her main body is a bright, almost peach color, with the exceptions of her neck, where forms into her blaze, a patch around her left eye, her left ear, and rear, which are brown. Her left eye, being covered in the dark patch, is an iridescent blue unlike her right, which is a simple maize. The right side of her neck has her most distinguished markings

Parents: unknown

Herd Rank: Undecided amongst the other mares though she wishes, and tries her best, to be Bamboozles favorite so that she can give the mares a reason to be jeaslous of her instead of vice versa

Personality:  She is a deeply troubled, superstisious, bitter mare that finds enjoyment in the suffering of the popular lot. She despises any mare that is prettier than her, and ninety-nine percent are, along with the stallions that are attrachted to said beauties, thus ignoring her. She is also cunning, and a master of reading horses, granting her the ability to trouble the wits out of you

Homeland:  She was born to a Lakota mare that had already birthed many prized fillies.

Relation to Spirit: None

Bio: Growing up during the 'Lakota Filly Boom', she was surrounded by many other fillies which planted the jealously and bitterness that would consume her later in life. Eventually she was banashed from the tribe since her looks would 'upset' the other horses.

Now on her own, she managed to survive outwardly, but was eaten alive on the inside with the jealousy and hate for the mares who she blamed for getting her kicked out with the wish that 'maybe she'll be eaten by the cougars'. It was at this point in her life when she realized her powers of persuation and used them quite often to get accpted into a herd, only till her deep anger got her kicked out again.

She became an expert reader on personalities, and sometimes even claimed to be sent from the 'gods' and given the ability to read futures.

Eventually she became and adult and heard about a stallion named Bamboozle. She was impressed with his ferocity and that fact that the other herds, especially the mares, were frightened of him. One day, she stumbled onto a herd that was just attacked and saw the damage of what he did moments after the storm left. By now she had fallen in love with him, and was determined to find him.

So, her search began. It wasn't long till she managed to find her love and get captured by him, though she gave no fight nor resistence. He was impressed with her, and she tried her best to satisfy him in an attempt to make the other mares' lives as miserable as possible.

She lived a long life with Bamboozle, and was excepted as his favorite mare and right hoof. Together they roamed and destroyed. Side by side they traveled, conquered, and stole. Until the day that she died.

She was the right age to die, really. For anyone else it would have been confirmed as too soon, but no one with as much bitter could live longer any than that, so the fates called her home. She was crazy in her rage and jealousy, consumed by her life long nightmares, and died tragically in an attempt to push a pregnant mare off a cliff under the delusion that the mare was her mother, and she was postponing her own birth. Instead of the mare falling, instead, Marlinda took the dive and died at the bottom, alone, as the result of the only stallion present leaving her, letting her die from her cracked neck.

The mare was Nothing In Return, and the last stallion that Marlinda saw, the one that left her to die was Anything Goes.

The memory of the 'witch mare' still haunts that burial place, where her body mysteriously disappeared. Those that hear of her traumtic, chilling story also mention that her body wasn't moved by anyone else, because no one could climb down that cliff side and survive.
