The Yurt
Tarro's yurt is located on the outskirts of Azale. It is a very large, round structure with seperate sections inside for Tarro's mares, expectant mothers and foals, stallions, and Tarro herself. Most yurts are portable, but Tarro's yurt is so huge that it cannot be taken down. The areas for the horses are the biggest, leaving a small room decorated with woven carpets, painted clay pots, and ancient sculptures. The horses have fresh straw for bedding which Tarro changes every day, and she allows the horses to come and go as they please as long as there is no danger to them. Tarro sleeps on a modest grass pallet.
Around the yurt are many other yurts and simple stands where merchants sell homemade goods. It's only a short trek away from the bare, uninhabited sands. One of Azale's largest and most plentifull oasises is just a few sand dunes away from the yurt, giving Tarro and her horses a convenient water source. Tarro's horses are usually found there during the day, returning to the yurt at night to avoid bandits and thieves.
The aged yurt and Tarro's odd assortment of possessions were purchased by her ancestors long ago.

About Tarro
Full name: Tarro (no last name)
Age: Mid-twenties
Gender: Female
Occupation: Horse trainer/owner
Likes: Roans, duns, woven carpets, apples
Dislikes: Law-breakers, seeing abused animals, rain
Appearance: Tarro has rich brown skin and a very bright complexion. Her eyes are a dark hazel, and she has shoulder-length black hair that she usually ties up in a bun. She is short buy spry with a sturdy, light frame. Tarro wears clothes more for comfort than fashion like tanktops, sandals, and loose-fitting shorts unless she is riding. Her riding gear varies if she is racing instead of riding for pleasure, and often includes proper, fitting pants, leather boots or shoes, and the occasional helmet. She wears a lot of beige but she will wear brilliant, bright clothing in times of celebration. Tarro wears very little jewelry, sticking to her woven hemp necklace and a simple bronze ring she wears on her left hand.
Personality: Tarro is hard-working and dedicated to everything she cares about. She tries to help troubled people and animals alike at any cost. She doesn't judge by appearances, and she has developed a knack for seeing through a horse's or a human's rough outside to the pure heart within, even when the rest of society has condemned them. Although she does enjoy relaxing and having fun, helping someone or accomplishing a task gives her incomparable satisfaction. She would rather be useful than lazy. When faced with the choice, Tarro would choose horses over human companions. She can be very shy around people unless she is working with them or helping them in some way. Tarro is very modest.
Horses owned: Denali. Carden, Uzuri, Ruby, Adok, Lyana
Wild horses seen: Mecco, Derham, Ayda, Despair (but only a glimpse)

The Arabian Mares
History: Denali came from a 'wild' herd of arabians; that is, a group of arabians that had escaped from their owners and become feral. She was caught as a very young foal and taken to, of all places, Canada! This is where she met her owner, Tarro, who then returned to Denali's homeland to train for the local races. The mare sometimes gets the feeling she has been here before, but her memories of foalhood are not very vivid.
Personality: Denali is a very outgoing and playful mare, who loves the company of humans and others horses alike. She is often seen pracing in place out of excitement, playfulness, or just pure joy. She tends to speak her mind, even to complete strangers! She has no problem working with humans.
Family: Jack Sparrow and Uzuri (DenalixUfo breeding foals)
History: Uzuri was born in Azale, and life with Tarro is the only life she has ever known.
She has an accent similer to her father's, but not as thick.
Her huge fear of what lies beyond life is contributed by an incident she had when she was very young, involving a god-horse named Nu'man.
Personality: Uzuri is a wild thing, as unpredictable and as harsh as the desert she was born in. Generally she gets along with others well, but she has a firey streak and a bad temper. She is very family oriented, however, and she would protect anyone that she considered family or her best friends as fiercely as the toughest stallions. The only thing that truly scares her is death, or Death, more specifically. It scares every morsel of her being, so she makes sure she is in good shape all the time to avert death as long as possible.
Family: Denali (mother), Ufo (father), Jack Sparrow (brother)
History: Tarro obtained Ruby from an Arabian breeder after she had spent a little time in Azale. She is thought to be a direct decendant of the original Arabians, and she cost most of Tarro's savings.
Personality: Ruby is a very vain mare, who likes to spend her time admiring her reflection in the oasis waters, bragging about herself, or flirting with attractive stallions. She is very outgoing, but she tends to turn others against herself. She hates to be in dust, rain, or mud, or in areas full of bugs. She will complain about the conditions until she finds them suitable, which rarely happens. Ruby thinks the desert sun is bad for her coat.
Family: Mecco (brother), DoP's Abhay (mate), Reyla (daughter), Lyana (daughter)
History: Lyana was born in Azale. The only life she has known so far is life with her parents and Tarro.
Personality: Lyana can't sit still, not even for a second. She stays up late every night and gets up before sunrise every morning since she doesn't need to sleep much. She's quick on her feet and a very fast talker because of her endless stores of energy. Lyana has only one mood: unnaturally elated, and it rarely changes. She can be quite sociable but she spends a lot of time alone, finding other horses incapable of keeping up with her frantic pace. Lyana is unable to stop to think things over or to proceed cautiously, which causes her to stumble into negative situations without even realizing it. She is also a very slow learner since she is inattentive and easily distracted. Generally she means well, but she has inherited her mother's dislike of work and her selfish attitude.
Family: DoP's Abhay (father), Ruby (mother), Reyla (sister), Mecco (uncle)

The Arabian Stallions
History: Carden was sold cheaply to Tarro when his owner decided they didn't want the almost-blind stallion anymore because of all the special care he needed that they could not provide. Tarro bought him when she first came to the desert, hoping she could use his other abilities to her advantage. He has a condition called "glass eye", where a horse's eye, pupil included, are a pale blue and almost white. Usually this condition does not affect a horse's vision, but it has in Carden's case. Luckily he managed to avoid the hearing impairment that is often associated with sight impairments like this.
Personality: Carden is a very quiet stallion. He is a little shy since he has problems adjusting to his surroundings, but gets along decently with humans and other horses. He is soft spoken and usually only speaks when he has something important to contribute, or if he notices something the other horses may have not. He does not like to try new things since he is afraid of hurting or making a fool of himself.
Family: None.
History: Tarro came across and purchased Adok when no one else wanted him due to the curse that supposedly follows the stallion. Tarro does not believe in the curse.
Adok always means well, but no matter what he does, bad luck tends to fall on anyone he is close to. He never speaks of the time his first owner's daughter died when she went out with him one night, or how cruel they had been to him afterwards. He calls it his curse, which makes him worry constantly about Tarro and his adoptive herd.
Personality: Adok is fun-loving and care-free despite everything he has gone through with previous owners. He enjoys the company of any creatures, from the smallest foal to his owner, Tarro. He has foal-like curiousity and naiveté, but he is smart enough to stay away from negative situations. Adok is content with himself and he doesn't ever try to be the top stallion of the area. Only talk of his past dampens his constant good mood, causing him to become emotionally distant.
Family: None
History: Mecco escaped from the pens where the Arabian breeder kept his sale horses. Tarro has seen him once or twice around the yurt and, knowing he's from the same, special lineage as Ruby, tries to catch him. So far she has not succeeded.
Personality: The coldness of Mecco's heart is perfectly reflected in his blank, hazel eyes. He never shows feelings towards others, human or horse, nor does he care about others. In fact, he absolutely cannot stand company for more then a short while, and he despises humans altogether. He doesn't even aknowledge his sister. He is selfish and only cares about himself, except for his appearance, which is usually unkept or downright dirty. Mecco is harsh and controlling of himself; he only takes care of a need, like eating, once he reaches the limit of how long he can go without it. Sometimes he doesn't eat for a week or more.
Family: Ruby (sister), Reyla (niece), Lyana (niece)
History: Tarro, like any other daring horse trainer, has tried to capture derham a few times without success.
Personality: Derham is the complete definition of wild. He spends his time freely galloping across the sands, going wherever and doing whatever he pleases. Humans have succeeded in catching him, but the cunning Derham is always able to escape. It is even thought he purposefully allows to be caught just so he can have fun escaping repeatedly. No human has ever been able to ride him. When he meets other horses, he immediately wants to show off to them, especially if they are pretty mares. However, he tends to taunt human-owned horses for working with them. Derham doesn't understand how a horse could ever co-exist with humans.
Family: None

The Mustang Mares
History: Once Ayda was part of a great, wild mustang herd that roamed the far reached of Arabia. But she was a restless youngster, and as soon as she was able to fend for herself she became a loner, traveling whenever and wherever she chose.
Personality: Ayda is very calm and wise despite her young age. She is very observant and understands much more about the human world than most horses. Her knowledge is contributed by her travels, as she rarely stays in one place for long. She can be social, but she cherishes her privacy. Ayda also solves her problems peacefully, only resorting to her physical strengths as a last resort. Even though she is intelligent and could give great advice to others, she chooses to keep her knowledge to herself. She finds other horses rather clueless about the world and assumes giving them advice would be a waste of time. Ayda tends to be a terrible judge of character.
Family: None.

The Gods
Tarro only caught a glimpse of Despair, and didn't realize he was a God at the time.
(Despair is the OoF God that cyhorse and I won in an auction! Currently Cy has the rp and personality rights to him, so I will not be putting any of that info here. Instead, here's his story smile
Story Long ago, there were two brothers. Their names have been lost in time, but is is known that there was an elder, and a younger. The Elder was very protective of the Younger, just like most older brothers tend to be. The Younger, however, hated the Elder. He hated being protected. They lived in relative peace for years, until the Elder had became an adult, and the Younger a powerful colt. It was then that it happened. The Younger, his hate finally taking over his senses, attacked his brother. The Elder was shocked, but he refused to fight, only standing with his head held low as his younger brother tore at him with his teeth and battered him with sharp hooves. That was until the Elder saw the look in his brother's icy blue eyes. The Younger's eyes held blind fury, a burning lust for blood and death. Seeing this, the Elder knew he must fight for his life. The tables turned. Ignoring the deep gashes and tears all over his body, the Elder flew at the Younger, hooves flashing in the sun as he brough them down on his brother's spine. Blood from both brothers splattered across the sands, dyeing the earth crimson. They fought until at last neither could fight any longer, and they stood facing eachother, scarlet life trailing from their nostrils and sheeting down their now darkened coats. It was the Younger, eyes gouged out and ribs torn open, who fell first, body thudding into the sand. Even as the Younger lay still upon the ground, the Elder's eyes slowly closed, and he too collapsed upon the earth. In that battle between brothers, death had overcome them both. They, however, would not be allowed eternal sleep. Because of their actions, the brothers were cursed to walk the earth forever. They became gods of pain and suffering. The Elder became called Despair, named for the pain he has felt as he destroyed his brother, and the sadness his brother's betrayal caused him. He would forever feel the despair of all life and make it his own, shouldering the sorrow of the earth. The Younger became known as Agony, for the pain he had inflicted on his brother, and the pain that had been inflicted on his own body. He would for eternity carry the wounds for that battle, they would never heal. He would forever feel the pain of all life, and each time any wound was inflicted on any creature, the pain would be his own. This was their curse. This was what made them gods, gods of Despair and Agony.
About Despair Despair's curse is that he can feel the sadness of all life. When a child is sad, he can feel it. When a mare loses her mate to disease, he can feel her sorrow. When Despair was turned into a god, his body of flesh was healed of all wounds, and he did not even have any scars, except for the ones on his left haunch. Those scars were left to make him remember what he had lost when he had defended himself from his brother. The scars, thick and twisted, are across an odd symbol that appeared in his coat when he was cursed, the symbol meaning 'love.' He was cursed to be one without love. There were also some other clear effects the curse had on the Elder. His eyes became white and pupiless, and he was made blind, just like his sightless brother. Tears of blood constantly stream out of his eyes, his sorrow turned crimson.
