GENDER
Mare.

PERSONALITY
Illaya is one with quite a few problems. She's very very quiet around almost all others, and very very jumpy. When in areas she's unfamiliar with, Illaya has been known to go into panic mode. Of course there are things that can make her relax and help her get over all of her many issues, but most fear she's too odd to even befriend. Then again, she does make it rather awkward to become friends. Not only does Illaya have a panic mode, she has a tendency to get very unpredictable mood swings and often talks to herself, whispering quietly and quickly to an invisible being. Illaya sees ghosts.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The mare is a Paint, Thoroughbred cross. She stands 15.3 hands with the build of a Thoroughbred and the colors of a Paint. Illaya has icy blue eyes. She was blind for the first year of her life, slowly gaining her sight back, and even now it's not perfect or even close. She was suppose to remain blind, but it turned out there was only a layer of gunk coating her eyes, making it so she couldn't see until it was fully removed. After time, it permanently damaged her vision, and though all of it is gone, she cannot see right. The body of the mare is a dulled brown/black color. She has no markings except one hind leg which has paint markings that blend onto her butt and no where else. picture,

HISTORY
Illaya was born a twin. She was the stronger of the two, and only after a few days, her brother died. The herd she was part of was small and slowly dying off. When she was only a year old, the poor filly watched her mother get attacked and killed by a mountain lion. She wasn't on her own, as her herd kept her safe, but she was very different after that. She was jumpy and scared of almost everything. She didn't talk much and for a while, others thought she was a mute. She claims she sees ghosts, but no one believes her, making her even more of an outcast.
