Name: Cygnet
Nickname: Cyg, Netti
Color: Blue roan
Stone/ Eye color: Faded/ creamy honey-brown

Personality: Perhaps because she still is not use to the idea that she is allowed to talk now, Cygnet tends to be a very quiet mare, her voice almost always in a soft and whispery tone. This however doesn’t mean she is at all shy, actually she seems to retain a lot of dog like qualities, including walking up to just about anyone and trusting her friends with an undying loyalty. She and Bryce get along well cause he seems to understand what she is saying just by using her body language and facial expression. She gets around quite well on her own despite being blind, though at times she seems to sense things that aren’t actually there.

History: Cygnet could not have asked for a better first life. She was the loyal and lovable companion to a young man named Eli, who had just separated from his parents to move cross country for college. He chose to take one of his parent’s coonhound puppies though so he would always have a piece of home with him. Cygnet adored her owner, following him wherever he went, always just at his heels. As she grew older Eli started introducing her to his other love in life, hiking through the beautiful forests and valleys of the area… However it was on one of these hikes that disaster struck. By accident, they had wandered off the usual trails and found themselves in an unfamiliar corner of the valley. While trying to find their way back, Eli slipped into a steep dried riverbed...and didn’t get back up. Whimpering, Cygnet made her way to her owner, curling up on his lap like he always did but there was no response, though Cygnet didn’t seem to understand why, nosing his hand and chest repeatedly. Cygnet stayed like that for three days, living through the harsh and cold night, without food or water before finally she started to lose grip on her strength… Just then, she heard distant voices calling for her and Eli, but it was too late.

However, she did hear another voice quite clearly, one that was closer to her. Then she saw the strange large beast, its head lowered to look down at her, a large plate-like stone hanging from its chest. It asked if she wanted a second chance to live, and when she agreed it said she would have to become like itself after she died again...

Cygnet’s second life, compared to her first, was like night and day. She was returned to Eli’s parents sold Cygnet to the first person who showed interest in her, which happened to be a young hunter named Oliver, who said he had a fine breeding kennel full of hunting dogs back home and that he cherished his dogs. However, that couldn’t have been further from the truth, as Oliver was known to mistreat the dogs on his property. Just hours after bringing Cygnet home, Oliver performed a surgery where he cut her vocal cords so she wouldn’t be able to bark, though the surgery was done very poorly, leaving a lasting scar on the hound’s throat. Months after she was brought to the property, Oliver arrived in a very sour mood, and starting getting rough and harsh on the dogs … then in a second everything turned upside down. One of the older, large dogs suddenly turned against Oliver; one by one the other dogs joined in, all snarling and lunging at the man. Cygnet however…she couldn’t just watch them tearing him apart, no matter how mean he had been to her he didn’t deserve this. She tried to push the dogs off, growling at them. The plan didn’t work like she wanted… some of the dogs did leave Oliver alone… but only because they were focusing their anger on Cygnet now. She stood no chance of fighting them off, especially after one of the shepherds attacked her face, blinding her permanently. Eventually the dogs left Oliver and Cygnet to deal with their wounds, escaping from their kennel to run into the woods. Unbelievably both Oliver and Cygnet were still alive, though their bodies were badly mauled. Sticking to his nature, Oliver managed to get to his feet and left Cygnet were she was, not even looking back as he drove off the property. Left alone, Cygnet waited for her fate in the dark blackness. The last thing Cygnet remembered was feeling a sinister presence just before she faded away. She came to in the Shadowlands, and found her new form rather appealing, though she could feel the scars from the attack and her surgery that are not with her forever, to always be on her mind, reminding her of her last life, outweighed only by her memories of her first with Eli.
