likes » storms, Chinese foods, reading, cats, music and art
dislikes » people who try to tell her what to do, arrogance, hypocrisy, animal cruelty and undeserved cockiness
personality » Despite her hate of arrogance in those around her, it's impossible for Bambi to deny that there's some in herself. To most people she comes off as an over confident, strung-out party girl; but there is truly much more to her personality. True, there are some aspects that have followed her from her life of constant partying; her moody gate, shaded eyes, snark-y attitude and restlessness, for example. However, she does have much more to offer. Putting aside all possibly negative attributes, Bambi is carefree, forgiving, funny, charming and incredibly easy going on most days.

appearance » The first thing that people often notice about her is her height. Standing at an almost normal five-foot-eight, the cause of interest usually comes from her long spidery legs which lend to the impression that she is much taller than average. Another attention-grabber would be her hair. Having grown it own for many years her thick waves fall slightly past her hips in a cascade of (almost white) blond hair. Free of any dyes or products her waves seem to turn an even more shocking shade of near-white in the summer months and do nothing to help hide her ever-porcelain complexion. Framed by thick lashes her dark grey eyes also lend to her almost monochromatic appearance, the only touch of color coming from her easily burnt skin in the summer months.

Along with her ghostly complexion, Bambi's slightly angular face, thin limbs and long fingers make her appear far less approachable than she really is, though she has taken to consciously softening her features when around new people in an attempt to seem more human than she often feels.

family » A mother and step father.

medical history » Bambi has broken her left wrist and collar bone, fractured her knee and suffered a bad concussion when she was about five years old. Though her joints frequently act up (especially her hips), due to her extremely flat feet and previous injuries, it seems that the concussion is completely behind her with no reoccurring head aches or dizziness of any kind.
criminal history » As many her age she was carted home a few times by the police for "disorderly conduct" but was thankfully never arrested for the many other illegal things she did under the influence of what ever drug she chose for the night.
life history » Bambi grew up on the outskirts of a big city in New York, where raising hell was common enough that she was just able to slip by with most of her rebellious actions. At sixteen, in tenth grade, she began her "complete rebellion" as her mom called it. Though there was no rebellion against her family. Her father, who she knew nothing of, left her mother in a storm of rage and died shortly after. Though curiosity has plagued her her entire life she had the common sense and humanity never to push her mom into telling them the details of their divorce. According to her grandparents, though, he was an unpredictable man with a tendency towards bad behavior unless he was around his wife or child. Despite his record they couldn't believe him ever willingly hurting their daughter and the reason for the divorce has remained another mystery entirely.

Growing up with her mother, a prominent nurse at the local hospital, wasn't as much of a struggle as it can be for many. With her steady and demanding job, Julie (her mother) made enough money to keep them financially stable and in the range of middle class. Much of her younger life also included her grandparents, who lived just two blocks away and were always more than happy to teach her anything she wanted to know and answer all of her questions.

So where had her rebellion come from? There seems to be no answer. The path to self destruction started as most do; a shallow, abandoned stream bed that spiraled into a black ravine. Getting her first job at the library did nothing to change anything. She popped a variety of pills on lunch break, downed a red bull and threw herself back into working. She began coming home late, wired on caffeine pills, and stayed in her room reading and writing all night then going to school an hour late every day. As her mother recalls, 'There was a year where I wasn't sure if you were even drinking enough water. The only thing I saw you drink was red bull and you would stop in the kitchen to grab what ever fruit was in the fridge and then return to your room. You wouldn't talk, eat or sleep.' About eight months into that year her mother began dating wealthy horse breeder named Rick. Famous for breeding Olympic-bound champions, Rick was only breezing through town on the way into the city when he ran into Julie at a gas station.

It didn't take long for Rick to rent a small apartment near them, far from his normal home in Tennessee, in order to spent more time with their family. Unfortunately, it also didn't take long for Bambi to realize that her mother was embarrassed of her and her actions. The realization on her own was almost enough to sober her up completely but it took about a month of dedication to drop her old habits completely. With the help of Rick himself, and her savings account, Bambi sent them on a couples retreat to a weekend spa, cleaned the house when they were gone, and presented them with the new her.

Clean and sober, Bambi and her mother quickly reestablished their bond, along with Rick. As a surprise for her high school graduation, Rick surprised her with Kamikaze, the arrogant, elegant and stunning black gelding she owns to this day. Just a moment afterward Rick proposed, encouraging Julie to move back to his home with him with the addition surprise of the apartment he had rented Bambi just a couple miles away from the infamous Crossfire Farms, where she could begin her new life.

color » Jet black with a white snip.
discipline » Jumper
personality » Kamikaze is a spirited and arrogant gelding who Rick spotted at an auction. Upon seeing the gelding's attitude Rick immediately bought him with the intention of gifting him to Bambi, who had been taking lessons most of her life. Kaze is often found in the field pawing at the ground and tossing his head, usually to impress the females in the neighboring fields. These displays of slight aggression are no hoax, Kamikaze will throw off any other person who tried to ride him, tack him or lead him. The gelding only accepts strangers if they are accompanied by a mare or foal (both of which he's fiercely protective of- whether he knows them or not) or if they are carrying food with them. Despite his usual aggression, Kamikaze and Bambi have created an extremely strong bond that is easily noticed.
