LynneaBrainstormingLynnea has a dark past and a fiery heart that she hides behind a demure, ladylike exterior. Sometimes, she fakes her way around so much that she nearly becomes fully ladylike for a time, but some of her more clung-to convictions always resurface and bring her back to the self that she likes the most: a powerful leader with a moral compass.
In her dark past is the one time that her moral compass may not have pointed directly north. Lynnea comes from a brutal patriarchal herd whose leaders supported an idea similar to eugenics. Mares with highly desirable traits often had camouflage coats (dark greens, whites, and browns to go with the tundra) and horns large enough to defend themselves, or other, more "exotic" traits, like unicorn blood. Males were usually flashy, bigger, and stronger, the better to attract predators away from the females who were trained to be demure and ladylike from birth. Outsiders of the herd - those not wealthy enough in good traits to be considered in the inner noble circles - often became guards of the daughters of the herd. When the daughters of the herd fell in love with their guards on occasion... It was an unspoken rule among the patriarchs that the guard would be killed.
Lynnea was one of the unfortunate mares who fell in love with a guard, who was killed before her. She was then immediately rushed into an arranged marriage with a stallion chosen for her by her father. At the ceremony, she and others took a stand. When her father raised a hoof to strike her down and put her "back in her place," a fight broke out.
