Myrna | Doe | Missing Princess

Name: Myrna “MIR + nah”
Meaning: high-spirited
Ranking: Princess Doe
Herd: Glenmore
Age: 18 (born 755)
Bloodline and Relatives:

 


Design: Bacon
Color: Supressed Gold Cream Champagne
Genotype: ee/Aa/nCr/nCh/nS/fwfw/nrz
Adult height: 9.1 hh 
Appearance: Light build. Dainty, lovely, a perfectly built little princess. She's darker than you might expect for a cream champagne princess which may be related to the fact that she has the magical aptitude of a raw potato. She's got some champagne freckles on her muzzle, and ears that she may some day grow into. With her bold colored coat and amber eyes she is not the most desired color for a princess.

Personality:

First and foremost she hates being told what to do. 

0-4 years old:
A real snot. From her first day she had a temper when she didn't get her way, and could throw a doozy of a tantrum for such a dainty little fawn. Needless to say the lessons in decorum were never a great success and she was not well loved by the royals or her extended family. She is a flirt and a charmer when she wants to be, but mostly she is just contrary and wild. Her four older brothers think she is adorable and encourage her bad behavior, much to her parents' disgust. Being adorable was her main saving grace. She has begun honing her sneaky and manipulative side, which can be effective against the dim-witted or gullible individuals.

5 years old:
While she still can't stand not being in control of her own destiny, she's begun to come to terms with the realities of her situation and really taking a hard look at herself and her flaws. She now rarely resorts to meanness or rudeness as she begins to realize that this costs her friends and potential allies, and that could get in the way of getting what she wants. She is still sneaky and manipulative, but is getting very good at hiding it. She's begun to realize that there are things she can do to make herself useful even within the confines of Glenmore's society and she intends to pursue them. She has a growing fascination with Blackwood and Uir and the idea of doe equality.

6+ years old: 
Since the announcement of her betrothal, Myrna has come to realize that a wild and improper princess will always be the subject of intense scrutiny. If she wants any semblance of privacy or freedom, she will need to behave as if she is worthy of such privileges. In public she now wears the mantle of the princess; not the most perfectly behaved princess, but good enough to avoid attracting too much attention to herself. Inwardly she is still wild and her spirit remains unbroken; with a few trusted souls she is still able to vent her frustrations and let loose from time to time.

History:

Born into a loving and proper family after four older brothers, Myrna was pampered and spoiled in her early youth. Her parents noticed this quickly and tried to correct her behavior, but the damage was done. Unbeknownst to most, by the age of five she's become at least passingly adept at using dyes, poisoning small animals, blackmail, eavesdropping and slipping away from her increasingly vigilant guards. 

Secretly, Myrna is acting as a spy for both Jormungandr and Hagen in the belief that their plots serve Uir and ultimately Myrna's own interests. So far she is simply collecting information, generally gossip but also trying to figure out where herd members' true loyalties lie. She won't be pursuing any tasks more risky than that because she values her own life too much (and would feel rather guilty if anything happened Fina or her family because of her).  

Mate: Lord Svetlikin (betrothed in Autumn 761, deceased in Winter 772)
Hoofmaiden: Finabhair
Offspring: 
Elisedd | Colt (born summer 763)
Kinnera | Doe (born spring 767)
Breeding: Myrna is aromantic; she will only have fawns with her betrothed by necessity and will never have a romantic relationship with anyone.

Charms and Trinkets: Hidden in her hair she sometimes wears a small serpentine earth magic charm (given to her by an old charm maker) which she believes will alert her to the presence of black magic or black magic spellweavers. In actuality, it only alerts her to the presence of herbs commonly used in black magic charms and rituals. She also has a badger claw which she took from Iset by way of blackmail which she thinks is a protection from black magic charm but in reality is just a badger claw. She also has a small leather drawstring pouch to carry herbs in. This she usually hides in her mane or tail.
