APPEARANCE

A beautiful, fierce colored woman. Her elegant bodice is wrapped into a deep red coloring, seeming as if it was dipped into the galaxies afterwards. Golden eyes seem to glow as her gaze catches you. Long, red mane transitioning into a purple grey at the wavy ends. A silk, sheer pink blanket is draped over her hips, almost like a ballerina's tutu. Golden jewelry is woven through her tail, wrapping around her dial and flowing over her hips. Standing at a vulnerable height of 15.3 hands, she isn't the biggest around. Her frame ever so lithe and petite. A true ballerina.

PERSONALITY

Natiqua is an innocent, shy mare. At least, she appears to be like this. When she plays her role of the white swan, she's like this. A nice, beautiful mare, elusive and flighty, but her courtesy is always out in the open. Though, when in this role, the fae doesn't dare to let loose, she'll always be the perfectionist. Uptight, stressed, much like a frantic bird. She's very emotive and friendly, and she likes the drama. Oh, how she loves the drama.


Yet, there's something very... dark about Natiqua. There's a dark and evil side to her, in which she isn't the sweet mare anymore. Everything she does when in this state is the total opposite of what she does when she's the white swan. The black swan. The mare is dangerously seducing in this state, much like a black widow, when she had her way, she will rip your heart out. One look is enough for the weak to fall prey to her wicked ways. An expert at mind games, loving to play with men, the weak and the naive. Though, she is very self destructive in this state and tends to scar herself for life. Nobody knows why, but she is always concentrated on the way she moves, trying to improve her movements. And when you see her in that magnificent trot of hers, it's almost like the fae is dancing. A perfect ballerina. Hallucinations, terrors and self harm is nothing strange to the princess. Together with all these mental issues, she has an eating disorder. While it is controlled by her 'normal' side, she isn't macabrely skinny, yet when she can't suppress her darker side she will go days without eating or drinking and will get hungry for blood. Nobody knows what triggers her to shift from one personality into the other, not even the mare herself. Changing from the perfect princess to a dangerous wench before you can blink with your eyes. Black swan, or white swan, the mare always has a certain mystery about her. Which can make one so curious, and lures you into the shadows of her dark side, and she will make you hers.

HISTORY

Once, Natiqua was a fortunate mare with a beautiful, happy family. She had a courteous mate, a sovereign of a powerful land, a brave stallion. Natiqua was always told to look beautiful, to train her movements to the best of her abilities, to be perfect. Born from a royal family, a bloodline ranging from warriors to counselors, princesses to exquisite ballerina's. And Natiqua was to be one of them. And so, she obeyed, always focused on improving her movements, on her dancing, nearly hurting and exhausting herself. With these beautiful moments she developed, her family called her 'the swan'. How graceful she looked, how fragile she was, yet, the mare had a fierce temper at times. The fae had so many people around her, so protective that she hardly had any privacy, driving her crazy yet also silent and anxious. Her mother was over protective, she wanted to protect her little princess to the cruel world.



Yet, she failed.



Her knight fell for the wrong woman and left her by herself, leaving her alone with her grief, her heart open, her soul wounded. And it all went downhill from here. Her family repudiated her as her mother died, refusing her, telling her that she disappointed and embarrassed her family when her knight ran off with a wench, a worthless tramp. She watched her family accepting the woman, they replaced her for the other mare. And they taught the mare, everything that they taught her, making her look like the perfect replacement of their natural daughter. So Natiqua believed that she was worthless, hopeless. The mare traveled by herself from land to land, and another sovereign took her under his wing. He taught her how to seduce a man, how to get all eyes on her, how to let loose. They had an odd relationship, he was seen with other women, higher ranked women. Though, he always went back to her, and she was grateful for it. He always pushed her to her limit, again, to be perfect. He was captivating her, and she barely noticed it. Abusive in his ways, many times had Natiqua been beaten to the ground, served as a prostitute to finance his extravagant lifestyle. She paid high prices for this so-called 'perfection'. Yet, he also taught her to let loose, that perfection wasn't all about control. The monster formed the black swan, the beautiful, dangerous woman.
