twenty - female - advanced rider - rr owner/trainer[/center]

Appearance:
Melena is average height, standing at five feet and five inches tall exactly, with a slightly athletic build and legs more muscular than her arms. Her skin is pale naturally, but in the sun, she's quick to tan, and her cheeks are sometimes rosy with blush, either natural or from makeup. Her eyes are a bright, pretty blue, framed with eyelashes that are naturally light blond at the ends and brown at the base. Naturally a mixture of blonde and brunnette, her hair is dyed to shadowbox (blond on top, black-brown underneath). If it's allowed to dry on it's own, it will flow to below her chest in small waves, sometimes curls, but she usually straightens all of her locks out with a flat iron because she likes it better that way. When it comes to styling her hair, she doesn't really do much except use her flat iron and a bit of hairspray, really, but she does like her fringe brushed in her face. For her, clothes don't really matter; she'll just wear whatever she thinks is cool. She doesn't like being extremely odd-looking, but she doesn't like to blend in, either.

General Personality:
Melena is a mix of a lot of stuff. She's usually a calm, content person, mainly because she spends so much time with her horses and that makes her happy. When she's overly-hyper/energetic, she can be really weird, skipping around and bursting into song. But that's just Melena for you. She doesn't care about what others think of her, and if someone doesn't like her, she doesn't really mind. Her temper is small but once it's lit up, boy, you're in trouble! She's also quite stubborn since when she was growing up she got whatever she wanted. That doesn't mean she's snobby, though-- she doesn't go for that crap. The only reason she might see you as "below her," is if you're a bitch to someone she likes.
The girl isn't all happy-go-lucky, though. When she does get sad and down in the dumps for whatever reason, she prefers being alone (not including her equine buds), and she won't talk to anyone about her problems; she prefers to keep it locked inside. Whatever it is, it usually passes in a day or so, though.
When around new people, Melena is typically as friendly as she can be, as long as she isn't irritated (which only happens when she has a bad day, and she still tends to pretend she's fine). She never goes out of her way to be overly-friendly or mean, though; she's sort of a more go-with-the-flow type of person.
How exactly she acts depends on the day. As said before: she's a big mix of a whole lot-a stuff.

History:
From the outside, Melena may seem to have had a perfect life. Her family was filthy rich; she lived in a huge house; she got whatever she wanted. This is all true, but that doesn't mean she was a happy camper. What went on in the inside of the house was what made her want to leave as soon as she could: her mom and dad were always fighting about money or "something stupid," and they hardly ever payed attention to her. They just shoved material things in her face to shut her up. Constantly, she wondered why they had even had her, and why they didn't just get a divorce. She started to get suicidal, slowly creeping towards going crazy just because childhood was nothing that it was suppose to be for her. She was just fourteen and she was already going and to parties and getting as drunk as she could. Several times, she left her friends wondering if she'd just killed herself by doing something stupid at one of those parties.
Life was pretty sucky for her, and one day, it was time for her dance lessons, which she had absolutely no interest in attending. Mad as ever, she shouted that she quit and stomped up to her room, refusing to go. Her parents basically gave her a slap on the wrists and then let her quit. But, not wanting her around the house that often, they went to find something else to get her involved in. They found a fancy stables. She began to take riding lessons.
It was amazing, what had happened after that. She slowly left her depressed state, her lessons filled the time she would typically use to party, and she began to heal with no other help than her riding instructor (who she actually wasn't all that fond of, it was more the equine she road that helped her) and a pony named Pebbles.
Eventually she started doing some jumping and other English competition, and she was as happy as could be. Her family was happy that she found a hobby that they thought was useful. Life was good.
So she rode all through her teens years until she had to move out of the house (which was a great relief to her). Her parents still funded her riding life, and they gave her money for an apartment. But once hearing the story of Rivers Ranch, Melena wanted her own stables. Showing was great, but once she realized, she was fixed on her new dream: Riverglass Ranch.
Daddy funded. Melena did the dirty work. Riverglass Ranch was born, and so was Melena's future.
