Temper: Soothing
Breed: Cerynei
Breed Appearance: Cerynei
Height: 14 hands
Personality: Soothing--Acacia is best described as soothing. Her whole history is wracked with loss and pain, but there is a faint glimmer of hope. Someone had saved her, and someone she loved--her last bit of family--might still be alive. It is that hope that shines through her, that she shares with others.
Oftentimes, she finds herself lost in rememberance of her past and finds herself walking to better help her think. The whole goal of her life is to pay forward the kindness that saved her and that she feels she can never fully repay.
She's almost naive in nature. Her faith in others, inspired by the one who saved her, is almost absolute to a fault. She can be easily deceived and taken advantage of. She wishes to see the best in everyone, because of that she is vulnerable to deception. Because she is pure of heart, and because most of her former dealings were with good soquili she doesn't realize that putting her trust absolutely in a stranger could be dangerous.
Backstory:
Afzelia and Alder knew each other from the time they left their baskets. It was an easy and happy life that lead up to agreeing that they could never live without each other. It wasn’t long before the first baskets arrived, or well…the first basket.
After a long and difficult labor, only one basket ever opened and they welcomed their first and only child, a son—Araucaria. He was the light of their life, and afraid to try again they let him carry all their hopes, admirations and dreams. It was too much for Araucaria who deemed himself “first to fail”.
He left shortly after his siblings were born, identical twins---Acacia and her brother Aspen. The two were inseparable, they did everything together and their thoughts were always perfectly in sync.
It wasn’t long before Afzelia and her Alder were blessed once again with baskets, three this time. When the baskets opened, it revealed two more sons and another daughter. It was three days later before they had finally decided on names. They would announce them when the dawn broke. Laying down to rest that night, that was when the fire broke out.
But neither Afzelia, Alder, Aspen, or the youngest brothers opened their eyes again.
This was the night, that both daughters were fated to have their lives changed forever. Both thinking they were the only survivors of the fire.
When Acacia woke up, the forest was ablaze. The very heavens seemed to have been composed of black smoke. Her lungs were filled with the smell of burning trees…and burning flesh. She could hear the screams of her family piercing the night.
She struggled to find her way through the fire, the will to live was still strong in her. She had seen her twin brother and two younger brothers fall, she had seen her family lay motionless…At first, she struggled to bring them with her, but they did not move…they did not breathe, and as the flames licked at her and singed her hide and theirs--they did not scream. They could not feel, they were gone.
Choking, she ran…she had to find her sister…the only one who was left, she had to save her. She ran for hours. Her lungs were bursting for air, filled with what felt like flames itself until she fell. Through her hazy vision she could see him. Gently she felt him lift her, she tried to speak…but she passed out.
***
She came to the next day, her head was pounding and she was coughing. Her body felt bruised and singed as she tried to remember everything that happened. It hit her as if it was happening for the first time all over again, her family was dead…only her sister was missing. Her sister…she could be dead or lost forever, her baby sister…
But she couldn’t’ think about that, she needed to think of something good. She was alive and there was hope. Someone…someone had saved her, she tried to remember as best she could, but it was nothing but vapour- only faint thoughts that might be memories. He had saved her, and she did not know who he was.
She stumbled to her feet and stretched a little. She began walking…she had to find her sister, and him…
She kept walking.
