Personality: Because of her past Dante tends to be very withdrawn all though you would never guess it from the way she acts. She gives of this 'I dont care' personality when really she is very self-conciounce and wants everyone to like her, even though she knows thats unlikely. She tends to sue sarcasm alot. She is very depresed all though it is hard to see, she tends to act up beat, cheerful, and funny most of the time, even though she doesnt feel like it, to keep people from asking questions and feeling sorry for her. She is very intelegent and tries hard to be a realist, which she has trouble doing since she is a natural born pessimist. She tends to shock people because she brushes things off so easily it seems, but if someone else is having trouble she tends to have sound advice.
History: Dante had a good life up until the age of 10, her family had money, though they werent rich. It was her her dad, her mom, and her brother Sam who was 12. But wronge doings always catch up with a person, july 8th, Dante, Sam, and her dad where at thier house relaxing, her mother was out grocery shopping. A man came in the house with a gun, demanding his money back, at this point her dad sent her and her brother upstairs, on the way by, the guy grabbed her brother and put the gun to his head, Dante managed to get away, but she watchd from the top of the stairs as he shot her brother then her dad, before heading upstairs for her, she managed to stay hidden the 15 mins it took the law to show up, but nothing could wipe her memory of his lifeless body falling and his empty eyes looking at her under the bed after they shot him, luckily Dante escaped with nothing more then a gunshot wound to the shoulder.
After that, there was an investigation taking 5 months that revealed all of thier money had been stolen from people by her dad, the law took every penny, leaving them to sale thier house and find somewhere else to stay. She stayed with her mom the next 3 years in a rundown shack, watching her mom slowly kill herself, no one knows if it was her sorrow, embaresment, or liqour that finnaly killed her. The next two months Dante spent in foster homes until they managed to find her uncle and shipped her off to his ranch.
It took her Uncle James, two years to get close to her, and it took Onyx to seal it. The stalion had belonged to his neighbor who had let him run wild not taking care of him or anything. When james bought him he discovered that he was to wild and wouldnt let anyone near him, he ws skittish and refused to let anyone control him. James was going to get rid of him until he caught Dante in the ring petting Onyx, something that no one so far had been able to do. After that he gave her the horse and taught her how to care for it.
Example Post:
Pushing her hair back with one of her hands Dante sighed, as she looked around, the leaves where just starting to fall for the year. Some lay scattered over the ground, there brown, gold, and red coloring standing out on the dark ground, while still yet some remained on the tree's keeping them from looking bare just yet. "I knew I should have rodde instead," Dante muttered to herself in annoyance as she realised she was only around halfway back, when on horseback she would already be back.
Sighing slightly Dante shrugged a small smile on her lips as she tried to lok on the bright side "well, at least I get away for a little while," she said softly before stepping up her pace, wanting to hurry back and check on Onyx, not that he really needed it since she had checked on him before she had left which had been only around three hours ago. 'Well, only thirty more mintues of walking and I should be there,' Dante thought to herself before shrugging the thought off and thinking about everything taht had passed.
