Distinguishing Characteristics: She is very talented at riding and loves to jump Maddox. She hates loosing things, whether it be people or material. She loves being on the beach and loves a good storm. She loves the rain, particularly because of the noise.
Resident or Non-Resident: Resident
Job: She does whatever she can whenever she can. Although she does small jobs she would rather have a job that involved horses and is always searching for one.
History: When she was little her childhood was wonderful. Her father helped her fall in love with horses. When she was six he taught her how to ride, and later taught her to jump. Although she loved her mother the same, she and her father had a special relationship and did everything together. Lake was like his shadow in every way and wanted to be just like him. When she was 12 he bought her her very own horse. A little grey warmblood foal. He taught her to care for it and to love him. From the moment she saw the foal she fell in love with him and the two were inseparable. Although she wanted to learn to ride her fathers capall, Ace, he always told her 'someday, when your older and stronger'. Although, she would never get that chance. She would never forget those years. Although her parents were older she hadn't realized how old until her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Eventually her mother could not even recognize her father and much less Lake. Lake watched her father go day by day slowly loosing interest in his horses and in her mother. She tried to ignore it and go about like things were normal, she hated this change so much. The only compensation she found was in riding Maddox. One breezy morning Lake woke up to feed the horses. When she went searching for her father, but he was gone. She wasn't sure how to feel or what to think.. she only knew he was gone. From that day on she never saw him again. Although they were partially taken care of, because of one of Lake's fathers good friends, she still needed to do small jobs to make some extra money to support her mother and to feed Maddox. Lake thought she would never trust anyone again like she trusted her father. However she locked those feelings down whenever she was around other people, not wanting to seem weak. Now she acts very indifferent about the issue and only gets emotional when she is alone with Maddox. Even though it is a lot sometimes when her mother doesn't remember her, she pulls through and stays strong, even though it sometimes gets the best of her in the end. Things are getting better though. At least better than they have been in the past.
Other: Wants to learn how to ride a capall uisce, she adores the color deep blue. She wears a blue and yellow bracelet that her father made her, she never takes it off. She likes to think that her father will one day return.
