PERSONALITY
*original personality accidentally deleted late Y19
Charm is a sweet filly, and since coming to Valkyrie she's had no trouble bonding with the staff. She's always quick with a nicker at the fence or over her stall door, and hardly ever puts a foot wrong both on the ground or under tack. She's good with the other horses as well - very much the type to make friends with a fence post if that was her only option, making her absolutely ideal in any sort of pasture mate situation. She's got a calming effect on the bad-tempered fillies, and doesn't mind being bullied a little as long as she's got a friend. In turn, those friends tend to be bodyguards from the field-at-large, so Charm never has to fight much for social hierarchy. She's even been put with the weanling fillies in a pinch, given she's such a steady head - however, she doesn't discipline them either, so there are more ideal options available to avoid spoiled children. She's a gem under saddle, and is eager to do whatever is asked of her. She's so willing to please that it makes up for her lack of die-hard competitive spirit. She's only gotten better with age, and there is no limit to what she can do.
LEG TYPE: PRECEDER
Charm is a professional when loading into the gate, though she gets a little nervous in the post-parade ahead of time. She focuses well in the moments before the gates open, and leaps sharply to the lead when they do. She's not a competitive animal outright, and is happy to let her jockey place her within a few lengths of the pace, wherever is most feasible. What Charm lacks in competitive drive she makes up for with incredible willing and impressive talent and physicality - when Tigris urges her on, she becomes a roaring force that's hard to match. Her jockey always has a physical ride and has to urge her on, but she'll keep giving for as long as she's asked. And that, very often, has garnered her the win.
