History:
Smoke is a Dalt mare, born in the distant lands where such horses live. Her mother was a bit -off- and when she gave birth to a black filly, immediately decided that she wanted her daughter to be a clever, brutal sort; an evil mare whose name would go down in history and send a shudder down the spines of any who heard it spoken. So the delusional mare raised her daughter to be nasty.
Smoke was clever, yes; but she found her mother's constant nagging to ''bully that little foal'' or ''have you killed anything today?'' to be boring, frankly. She saw no reason to hurt creatures who did not offend her. Her aunt joined in with her mother, and she never got a moment's peace.
Her sister Ivory was born two years later. A pure white filly, whose color soon put a new idiotic idea in their mother's head: this would be the holy one, the kind savior mare who defeated her sister's evil and became blessed of all the Dalt herds. She was left alone for the most part, though on occasion their mother would whisper in her ear, ''Look at your sister, see how cruel she is, you should stop her.'' But all the real attention was poured on Smoke, who wanted none of it. A darkness began to eat away at Ivory's heart; she wanted that attention. Her soul cried to her ignorant mother, begging for her own evil to be recognized. She could see that Smoke was too kindly for that sort of thing. But Ivory, Ivory was a powerhungry, vengeful monster from the moment she was born.
When Smoke was five and Ivory three, Strath stallions came down upon the little herd, killing their father and stealing the mares. For centuries, Dalt and Strath had avoided each other like the plague; but the Strath had changed their ways, and now took extreme pleasure out of killing and raping Dalt herds.
Smoke and Ivory were claimed by Dagger, the vicious son of Rysen who led the assault. Ivory was clever and managed to manipulate him out of being bred, and he saw her value in Rysen's plans despite her Dalt bloodlines. Smoke, though just as clever as her younger sister, was unable to weasel out of Dagger's grasp, and was violently forcebred several days later, back among the Strath herds.
But Smoke has a secret. She knew this would be coming, but refused to bear Dagger's foal; so, in the midst of the captured Dalt slaves, she sought out a Dalt stallion and convinced him to breed to her, before Dagger did. Better a Dalt foal with a father whose name she did not know, than an bloodthirsty Strath killer. A year later, Fire was born- the son of not Dagger, but an insignificant Dalt slave. Smoke feigned a broken hip, well enough to fool even sharp Ivory, and Dagger abandoned her to her certain death. She gave birth to her colt in a strange land, and here they are, refugees.
--------------------------
After the battle of Dalt and Strath, Smoke came to live with Fire's little herd in Aspen Creek. She gave birth to Apollonia, daughter of Sterling who died in battle.
