Personality: Aluka’s been through and seen a lot in her short life. She suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder; her most obvious problem is her damaged ‘fight or flight’ response. It doesn’t matter how many measures she may take to ensure her safety, she will always feel some degree of danger. Aluka’s other symptoms include difficulty concentrating, startling easy, exaggerated response to startling events, hyper vigilance, and difficulty falling and staying asleep. These are all very specific ways to describe Aluka, but as a whole, she’s a frighten mare tired of life in general. She lives day to day with little to no desire to actually live, only moving on because she’s scared of the idea of a permanent sleep (death). She’s frightened of anything and everything. She lives her life always watching and running and moving and it’s this endless cycle of constant worry and fright that makes life so hard for her to enjoy.
Aluka is as fragile as glass and her trust is just as delicate. One wrong move and she will break along with whatever chances of building trust one may have. Once you give her any sign of being untrustworthy, she will never trust you. You will have to work hard to gain that trust, but once you have it, she’ll follow you to the ends of the earth and will forgive you for just about anything. In fact, she can be so forgiving to those she trusts and love, it’s to a fault. Underneath all the problems Aluka truly is a beautiful gem. A gentle, kind soul with a heart big enough for the whole world. Aluka doesn’t have a mean bone in her body and couldn’t hurt a fly if her life depended on it. She loves to take care of others and always wants to help, but her social barriers and problems often make her too frightened to even think of trying.
History: Her life should have been easy; she was the offspring of the lead pair. Her life should have been treasured; she was the weaker, smaller of the twins but she survive none the less. She should have blossomed, should have shined, should have lived.
But nothing is ever that easy. Her mother was emotionally and mentally unavailble, to her foals she was nothing more than the one who gave them meals. To their mother, the foals were nothing but a burden holding her back. As soon as the foals had matured enough to no long need her for milk, Callista fled and never once since then has she looked back. Never will she either. The foals were left to the wrath of their sire. And Hexxus was not at all happy being stuck with two weak, measly fillies. His lead had left him, without an heir, to care for the offspring that had barely survived. They were a sight for sore eyes, a testiment to his failure to produce a strong, reliable heir to his throne. His missing lead was a testiment to his failure to confine the broad that was to carry and birth his spawn.
Aluka grew up abused physically by her father. Her childhood and adolescent years blended together into one large mass and time no longer was defined by even seasons. Her elder twin Danica tried her best to take Aluka's beatings; Danica was stronger, mentally, physically, emotionally. But Hexxus' cruel ways, the pressure of being a mother to her sister, and the long term abuse eventually broke Danica. Hexxus brainwashed Danica and Aluka's protector turned to tormentor. Danica in a fit of rage nearly killed Aluka, going to far as to break her leg. But the bond between the twins was strong and Aluka managed to get through to Danica. Danica attacked Hexxus to protect Aluka, but Danica was weaker than their sire. It was only a matter of a few well placed blows and Danica was crushed, thrown over the cliff into the roaring ocean. To this day, Aluka does not know if her twin is alive, but she refuses to believe she is gone. She may be dead, but Danica haunts Aluka everywhere she goes. Aluka managed to escape a short time ago when Hexxus went on an extended trip to find mares for his herd. She has been living on the run since, exhausting herself running from ghosts that might never come looking for her.
