Personality

Voice Claim: --

History: Larkspur is a wild Ballator living deep in the forest. She often spends her time with deer herds, learning their ways, and sharing survival techniques. She is happy living as a solo Ballator for the most part, although she doesn't mind the occasional fling with a handsome stallion.

She met Citron while she was still young. She was tempted to seduce him, however he had a young filly by his side, with her mother no where to be seen. The odd pair ended up spending some time with Larkspur, and Citron eventually decided to leave his daughter with her. Larkpsur was still only a young mare at the time, and possibly the worst mother figure you could imagine, but she felt bad for the filly, and accepted. Foxglove grew up within the deer herd, mostly being raised by the hinds with fawns of their own, while Larkspur spent much of her time hunting, exploring, and searching for stallions to fall in love with.

She met 6078 Mortuus et Sepultus as a young adult, and fell absolutely in love. They had a brief fling, and Mortuus ended up leaving her, for reasons he never explained. Devastated, but now pregnant, Larkspur felt embarrassed that her first love had left her already. She knew it wouldn't last, but he didn't waste a moment, and all she wanted was the stallion to acknowledge their time together, and maybe return some of the love she felt for him.

She returned to the deer herds, where the hinds reminded her that she got to choose her mate at the very least, and that she ought to spend more time with her adopted daughter rather than being reckless and irresponsible. Larkspur felt bad for complaining about her own situation, and she quickly forgot about the time spent with Mortuus. He wasn't worth her tears. By the time Larkspur was due to have her foal, the deer herds had moved on, leaving her to suffer alone, with only the young Foxglove at her side. It was the most terrifying night of the mare's life. A hard labour shadowed by the ever present sound of distant wolves, searching for dinner. She could not have been more vulnerable. Eventually, 7539 Witch Hazel was born.

Larkspur was still an awful mother, she had no idea how to teach life lessons such as hunting and foraging. She was too scatter brained to focus on two students at once, and often snapped at them when they asked too many questions. She was able to hunt and provide for them, but she preferred doing it alone, when she wasn't being watched by curious children who didn't understand.

Witch Hazel and Foxglove turned into bratty teens pretty quickly, and soon decided they didn't need Larkspur anymore. She wasn't surprised, and was somewhat grateful of their decision, but she still felt like a failure. Witch Hazel was leaving just like her father had, and Foxglove probably didn't turn out anything like what her father intended. Feeling sorry for herself, she agreed that she was better off alone and did her best to hold back tears as the two younger mares left.

Larkspur spent the majority of her time finding random stallions to cloud her brain from her sorrow and fill the hole in her heart. Fortunately, her escapades did not lead to another pregnancy, but that just made her think she had broken herself somehow. She was a true disaster, never fitting in, never settling, and constantly making herself feel terrible for every mistake she's made.

She has since found a new romantic interest, in 6606 | Adonis. He is the only stallion who actually made her feel wanted, and truly loved. Soon after they began courting, Larkspur fell pregnant, and was overjoyed at the fact, but terrified Adonis would leave her. After a lot of reassuring that he was here to stay, she settled down, and found herself enjoying her pregnancy. It was certainly less stressful and miserable than her first one. The couple found a new deer herd to blend into for safety, particularly when Larkspur gave birth. She was still a bit bitter about the last herd she had spent time with, but the hinds in this herd were kind and understanding, and gave her some useful advice and tips on pregnancy, labour, and mothering in general.

Soon after settling in, Larkspur gave birth to a filly, who she named Beroe. She has learned from her previous mistakes and strives to help Beroe become the best mare she can be.
