History: Lotus wasn't the first born to her mother and father. They had been given child three times before her and all of this three times her parents had been granted with a colt. The fourth time her mother's belly swelled with child she knew it was different this time, that this fourth time they would be granted with a filly. She cared deeply for the child that grew within her body; for she had always wanted a little girl to care for. Colts were strong, were bolt and brave, were fillies were different. She'd always wanted one and was over the moon now that she knew she would, within a few months, give life to a beautiful new filly.
The birth went quite easily, even though it was slightly premature; her mother could almost be called a professional at the job for she knew exactly how to handle things and what was coming. Her father was there; just like he had been the three times before. He suited his wife, told her that everything would be fine and over soon, and that he would be proud of her nonetheless. It took less than a hour before the filly's small body fell to the sandy ground. Pitch black her coat was; only two of her legs decorated with the smallest of socks. Where her coat was plain and simple, but beautiful nonetheless, the fins that were attached to her body were absolutely gorgeous; decorated with a flow of creme and salmon. Her father wasn't used to having such a small, fragile little thing around, since his sons had been big and strong from the very beginning. But she was different.
All through her childhood Aida kept her foal very close to her flank. She had always been one to pamper her foals, keep them close to her, away from harm, but now that she got a filly instead of the colts she was used to raising, her protective, caring behavior seemed to take on an even higher level. Lotus didn't know any better in her first few years, but as she grew up the jealousy towards her brothers grew and grew. She wanted to be strong too, wanted to big too, wanted to be free too, but her Aida still found her little filly too small to go on adventures on her own. She wanted to raise the little thing to be a Gatherer just like she had been; teaching her the ways of all the herbs and plants as she took the filly to her job all day.
Lotus' desire to more adventure, and to be more like her brothers, grew as she grew in years. Her mind grew faster than her body could; and the only thing she could think off was becoming an aspiring Warrior; a Warrior just like her father had been, just like her brothers would be. Just like she would be. Secretly, as her brothers had to baby-sit her, she fought with them to test her strengths, and when she had just a second out of her mother's eyes, she ran across the island to train her small, tender body.
She was a strong mind, and a motivated and devoted one too. Her mother kept telling her that she had to wait until she was old enough to be chosen to join in the ritual of Vigil, and let the Gods choose weither she would become a Warrior. Her mother knew, in the back of her mind, that her little girl would never become a Warrior, but she knew it would break her little heart if she told her straight away. Thus she kept her silence, making sure Lotus kept all doors open to her future, making sure she knew she couldn't choose.
A few months after Lotus turned three years old she was taken with by the Holy One to experience the Vigil. She wasn't afraid that night, like some of the others, instead she was one of the ones that were very eager to see their future, to finally get to know what it hold for them. It took her a while to fall asleep in the weird place full of mixed feelings. She kept staring in the darkness, trying to ease her mind, and finally sleep took over.
That night see saw a lot of things, horrible things, things that changed her mind on various subjects. It made her feel little, fragile, but at the same time stronger than ever. She was given the Dolphin as a Spirit Animal, and ever since that day she was thriven to become one of the best Hunters that were out there. She would provide food for many, and be an explorer out int he seas. It still stung her that she was the only one of the family -except for her mom, of course- that wouldn't be becoming a Warrior, but she had piece with it now that she finally had a direction to take on.
She became a Hunter in no time, putting her mind to it and working damn hard for it. She's been getting stronger since, and she's planning on getting even stronger now - having eyes only for her career, with little place for her family, and her family only.
