Blood of the Angel |
Her PersonalityUnlike her dam, Blood of the Angel, Nelly is an absolute Angel... well, most of the time. Nelly spent most of her weanling years protecting her half sister, Spirit of Liberty, who happens to be half blind. She would take beatings from Incineration and Blue Heroine, but that's what made her strong. Scrawny, and average height, Nelly is one of the strongest fillies you will ever meet. She takes pain like a absolute pro. You could hardly tell if she is in pain or not, which is in some cases bad, because if she actually is injured you can't tell until it's too late. Despite everything Blue Heroine and Incineration put her through when she was younger, she's very forgiving and loves people and other horses. She's one that makes friends very easily, no matter what species they are. Nelly is very loving, and will lay down and fall asleep right in front of you. She'll come up and use you as a itching post every once and awhile, she loves giving hugs and when you greet her she'll always stick out her nose for you to blow on it.
Nelly is high-strung as most thoroughbreds are. It isn't uncommon to see her tossing her head or chomping down on the bit out on the track. But she does something interesting with all of her energy, Nelly channels it into her passion for running and she's very fast and she isn't scared to show horses around her that she is. |
Her StyleTrue to her personality, Angel will break slow, and run behind all the other horses because she's always been picked on. However, in a race she will not have any of the sort, she's calm, calculated, and focused when she's racing, pin pointing all the weakest horses as she begins to close. The pace doesn't have to be fast for her to close like a rocket, inside rail or on the extreme outside, it doesn't matter to her because as soon as she uses that amazing turn of foot that she has, no one's catching her.
