Personality:
As it turns out, Ave is an extremely jealous filly. She is protective and territorial over what she considers hers, and anybody who messes with something or someone she's laid claim to is in for it. Ave will pitch a fit, shove people or objects over with her shoulders, squeal, and kick up quite a dramatic scene over even the slightest misstep. She has social difficulties, the filly of the crop that just doesn't quite fit in among the others. We're not sure if the pack has shunned her, or if she's too wound up over not having control over them to join in. Rarely laid back, L'Avance is severely competitive and driven to be the one who calls the shots.
Quite picky as well, she is a tad OCD over situations, wanting everything arranged just so, however she believes they should be, even if it makes no logical sense to anyone else. She'll put her toys in certain arrangements, eat from a certain side of her bin first, and always circle the apple tree in her pasture four times before settling in to graze. Her ground handlers need to be careful to always go through the same motions, although she isn't too particular about grooming, she will only be mounted from the right and lead from the left. Ave doesn't much care for crowds or large groups, its much too variable of a situation for her. She does seem to have a soft spot for pony riders though - she picks on them thoroughly before a race. Working herself up into some energy, she warms up very well and is keen to get going for the race.

Racing Info:
Surface Preference: Turf
Distance: 7-10 Furlongs Grade: Four Trainer: Aaron Evertt Jockey: Alex Shade Leg Type: Stalker Mostly behaving herself in the gate, she's busy eyeing up her competition from either side of her. The game starts early for this filly, before the bell has rung she's already searching for her preferred target. Once released, she selects who appears to be weakest of the pack and zeroes in. It matters not to her if she's at the front end or back end of the pack - she'll never lead, but she can close. What matters most to her is to have something to dog at, a poor creature to bully, she's avid for that victory and cannot stand to lose. Her jealously propels her to continue looking on ahead, and wherever she is in the pack she'll gain ground going from one opponent to the next until the last furlong. That's when this filly bursts into her fit of "this is mine", and takes off for the lead, powering for the finish line. |
