Personality & Habits

"Horses are better than people—fight me on it." – Loves all things equine, knows every horse by name, personality, and favorite treat.

"Oh, you poor thing! Don’t worry, I’ll fix you up." – Treats injured or overworked horses with more tenderness than she does people.

"I don’t mind the work, I love it!" – Does all the day-to-day labor at the stable, including feeding, grooming, training, and mucking stalls.

"Just ignore my grandfather, he’s all bark. Well… mostly bark." – Knows her grandfather means well, even if he’s overprotective.

"I bet you’ve never ridden a horse like this before!" – Loves showing off the stable’s best horses to potential buyers or skilled riders.

While Mara is kind and friendly, she’s no fool—she can spot a bad rider, a careless owner, or an arrogant noble in an instant, and she won’t sell or rent out a horse to someone who won’t take care of it properly.

She is one of the best riders in Lygos, able to break even the most stubborn stallions, and many consider her the true heart of the stable.
