PERSONALITY
Hooded Hero is an infamous figure at King of the Hill Stables. It was rather early on that staff had started to notice items going missing from their pockets when they were around her - later finding them on the floor, often covered up by dirt or bedding. Later, somebody finally noticed that it was Robin herself that was stealing these items; plucking them right out of the pockets of others whenever she saw the chance and gleefully throwing them about. Her reputation as a pickpocket precedes her, and she even seems to have taught some other horses her skills (though, thankfully, none of them seem to have picked it up quite like she has). Playful and mischievous, Hooded Hero is the kind of horse that can make a joke out of anything. She loves to get dirty - often rolling in the dirtiest patch of ground she can find the second she is released into the paddock - and has a habit of fondly nibbling at the shoulders of those that spend time with her (something that, understandably so, staff are trying not to encourage!). Sometimes, it can be hard to get her to concentrate. Robin would much rather play than work but, with a firm refusal to bow to her distractions, she can be convinced into behaving herself instead.
LEG TYPE: CLOSER
Hooded Hero loves the game of the race - because that's what it is to her; one big game. She likes to hang back in a race at first, scoping the field and allowing others to fall into their own positions. As the middle of the race comes up, she starts to make her move. Robin starts to overtake her competitors one by one - speeding up over time to overtake them, often calling into play the energy reserves that she has saved by taking it a touch slow at the start. With every horse she passes, she gains a new burst of confidence and, with that, energy. By the time she reaches the front of the race, there is no stopping her - Hooded Hero having running like there's nothing else in the world, refusing to stop for anything.
