DIVINATION
|
PERSONALITY
Divine is as unpredictable as the wind. One minute she can be calm and introspective and the next she's flashing teeth and flying hooves. Much in manner like her dam, it really doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't mean she will always like you. Her barn manners are terrible and in general is a pain in the ass to handle. Some days she'll tolerate the human taking the lead, but other days she'll be damned before she allows them to tell her what to do and then it's all bulging muscles and flashing teeth and hooves. Consistency though with her is key because even if she's having an off day, if the routine is similar her temper tantrums then aren't as terrible.
Both her sire and her dam were of a very bulky build and she carries the same bulk and build that's compacted with power. She knows her body well and knows her limits, a very important thing for a racehorse. She smart as a whip and uses it always to her advantage and it goes without saying that the faint of heart or simple minded should never be allowed to handle her.
LEG TYPE: VARIABLE; STALKER/MID-PACK
As a racehorse, you won't find a more competitive horse, but as stated before, she's cunning and she knows better than to waste her energy in a fiery display before the real show. There is very little that can shake her confidence and in this aspect she very much takes after her sire. No matter the track conditions she has no matter adapting and this makes her a very effective racer. She has a quick break from the gates and likes to settle either right behind the leaders to stalk out her moves or to fade into the middle out of sight and mind until she congers of her wealth of stamina and speed to streak out to the finish with vicious vindication for the win.
She will always fight to the finish and it's to the jockey's best interest to just get out of her way and let her do what's best. To fight with her is a losing battle and so it's better to suggest a path and let her make up her own mind - Believe me, she'll pick the path to the winner's circle every time.
