PERSONALITY
Lailiana is a very self-conscious mare, though she tries to appear mildly self-confident and can usually manage it. The struggles in her past left her in a scared state of mind. She does work on how she looks to herself, and slowly her mind will heal. Her heart is in the right place. She never acts gloomy around friends or acquaintances, she usually feels happy when she is with company, sometimes she'll wander off just to be alone for a little while. She is scared of what others think of her, but she keeps that fear locked up in the back of her head. She can grit her teeth and deal with it. She can actually take most things well, from petty insults to the death of a friend. She is a good, friendly mare, who is fun to be around. Being with her can relax you because she is never tense, she takes life slowly when she can, to take in everything that is happening. This is partly because she doesn't like change at all and she is scared of the future and the unknown. Her mind can hold many thoughts and feelings at a time. She is clever and a good actor, you'll never see a part of her that she doesn't want put on display. She may seem loyal to the end, but really, if you aren't one of her closest friends you may have to watch out or she might just stab you in the back to save herself or a closer relationship. She lives the way she wants to, usually wondering. Her most desired goal is to find a herd, a mate and to live happily ever after, it's all very old-fashioned stuff.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
She is very feminine-looking. Her legs long and thin, her body elegantly molded, her slightly dished face sits atop her curving swan neck. Her body looks very delicate, and that, it is. She is light and agile, but not very muscular. Her bones jut out a bit, but not in unhealthy way. She is built for speed, in a fight she would probably die. She is mostly Quarter Horse, with Akhal Teke lineage. Her body is covered in dusty brown fur, with a white sock on her left back leg. Her mane and tail are a lighter blonde color, otherwise known as palomino. Her coat is usually in good condition, because she doesn't ever really do anything that could harm herself. Her eyes are large and very dark brown, lighter in the center and become almost black towards the rim of her irises. Her voice is gentle, soft and soothing. It rings out in almost musical tones. Her voice is even more lovely when she sings, which she likes to do when she is alone. She has thick scars on one side of her face and half way down her neck. The marks are hard to look away from.

HISTORY
She was born in Night Sky. She was born to a loving mother and a father that she thought was loving. They lived towards the outskirts of the lands. Her mother insisted, as she believed the lovely young Lailiana would be stolen by a greedy stallion. They stayed in a very thick forest until she old enough to run and play. During those times, she loved her palomino father dearly. He would play with her and tell her stories of the eventful life that he had lived, and how he met his true love, Lailiana's mother. Those were the day when she began to hope that she would one day find love just like her mother and father seemed to have. Her mother warned her not to make the mistakes she had made. That she must find a herd. "Safety in numbers", she would always say. They began to move more towards the actual lands of Night Sky, where the herds lived. Her parents wanted her to make friends with the foals there. They would often go very near to the herds and Laily would run right into them. she soon had many friends that she saw and played with regularly. She began to believe that the only life for her was herd life. When she got close to seven months old, for a reason that she did not know, her father began shouting and fighting with her mother. Her father would sometimes take out his anger on Laily. That was how she got the scars. One night when her father was in a blind rage, he lashed out at her more times than she could take. She just barely was able to run away. To the day, she wonders what happened to her mother. She had to hide for a long time, healing her body and her mind. It took many years. but eventually she began wondering around. She is almost completely healed now, her body healed many years ago and her mind is on the way to recovery as well.
