-What You Can’t See-

Personality: Although at one time, Jocasta was a sweet, playful damsel who loved life with a passion, that is not the case any longer. Once upon a time she had an optimism that did her more harm than good, but back then she did not care. However, though once able to maintain a cheerful outlook despite the grief she has had in her life, ever since Jaspyr disappeared, she has lived in a haze of depression, longing only for the stallion she loves beyond reason.

History: Jocasta was born in the midst of an earthquake that was ravaging her homeland and the first sight to meet her newborn eyes was the bloody, battered form of her dying sire as he took his first and last look upon her. Despite this rather traumatic beginning, however, Jo grew up happy and healthy, innocent of the woes of the world. She was raised by her mother, Alicorn, and her mother's mate, Crossfire. At several months of age, she wandered to the foal lands, where she met a young boy who would forever change her life.

She was dancing across the meadow, a veritable little ballerina when she first met him. They talked briefly and then, as foals are wont, they began to play. The game was Tag and he was it. In this time Jo should first have been made aware of the danger signs exhibited by the young colt, but she was oblivious. He seized her rather roughly, bruising her flesh with his maw when he caught up to her. He apologized profusely, and though shocked and in pain, she readily forgave.

This proved to be a mere foreshadowing of what was to come.

Jo had invited him home to Mount Pleasant and he promised to join her, but did not come with her, saying that he would follow shortly thereafter. For hours, days, weeks, months, and then years she waited, but he never showed up. In that time, true tragedy struck her young life for the first time. A terrible disease ravaged the herd, taking the lives of her mother, foster father, and the Lead stallion. Only three of them survived -- herself, Blitzkrieg -- the lead mare -- and Hiyori. Burdened with a heavy grief that she had never before experienced, Jo had left the herd to wander around a bit, get her bearings back. It was during this time that she heard rumors of her old friend, Jaspyr, having a land somewhere.

Determined to find him, she set out. It took nearly a week, but she finally tracked him down. Though hurt that he had never come to Mount Pleasant as he had promised, when he asked forgiveness she forgave him readily. Again. Though unaware of events that later transpired between him and another of his friends, Spit Fire. Had she known he had raped his friend, would she have so readily trusted him? There is no telling, for such innocence as she had was blind to such horrors. When he came to her, he was broken and badly shaken. She did all in her power to comfort him and eventually, in the course of things, they united physically. Already in love with her childhood friend, Jo was deliriously happy to be carrying his child. However, as time passed, it seemed that her beloved Jaspyr seemed to be fixated on the child that was not there. One day, towards the end of her pregnancy, he returned home in a rage. He beat her then, for reasons she was at a loss to explain. When it was over, he begged forgiveness, pleading that he did not know what had happened and saying how sorry he was. Just as she always had, her love blinding her to the folly of her actions, Jocasta forgave him yet again, trusting him blindly.

The cycle continued, even after the birth of their son, Javor. She was troubled to see how he treated their son, ignoring the boy and always fretting about the daughter Spit Fire had borne to him. Though she tried to help him, the cycle of abuse just continued and always she held hope that if she just helped him and let him hit her, that he would be able to get over the pain inside of him. And then one day he abruptly disappeared. This single event has sent the buckskin paint damsel spiralling into deep depression. Her son has taken to wandering far and now she is all alone. What she wants more than anything is Jaspyr back at her side, but so far he has not returned. A wanderer herself now, she just hopes that someday she might be reunited with her beloved. Even if that is probably the worst possible thing that could happen to her.

A chance encounter with Regal, the former (and now vanished) Neutral King, led to her becoming a member of Tremala Woods, but a chance encounter with a buckskin overo might just change her life forever...
