Details
Personality: (include strengths, weaknesses, relationships, etc)

She's one to see beauty in everything in the world. The smallest pebble in the riverbed or the large Great Oak, everything has something incredibly wonderful to it.

She is rather impressionable, perhaps thanks to her domineering father, but when she finds something to believe in, she dedicates her whole heart to it. She is one for following the rules- breaking the laws of the herd leads to dire consequences and she has no wish to contribute to anything of the sort. She will follow what she was taught

She is very caring and doting, and so one of her favorite things is to take care of the young fawns when the mothers need help.

Appearance:
Bealla has a light, shimmery pelt, such as befitting for a Glenmore lady. She keeps her naturally wavy mane grown out long with several strands decoratively braided and looped with flowers- usually starflowers accented with belladonna- woven in for accent. Her tail and feathers are also kept long but aren't decorated with flowers. During the rut she grows a long, curved single-prong horn that she twirls flowering vines around (not pictured). She wears a foxglove flower crown and loops up sections of her mane with nightshade and places starflowers throughout her mane and tail.


History:
Bealla was born privileged into a life of luxury. Her father,  Aindrias, is a lord with a gift for words, and she grew up admiring him and his abilities to spin a story or make an argument. Her mother, the Lady Kiana, a gentle doe with a love for her plants, was favored by Aindrias and so Bealla was able to mature under the guidance of loving parents and greatly admires both her sire and dam.

Bealla was perfectly fine with her role as a Lady- she could certainly stand around and look pretty. Her coat was light and with spots, the ideal for a Glenmore royal. She had no desire to scrap like the colts and some of the more outspoken filles- there was too much else to do. Why bang your head into another fawn's head when you could go smell the freshly blooming flowers or listen to the stories being told?

She was happy and content. Her parents continued mating and she had younger siblings that she adored looking after and passing on the stories she had heard to, or walking through the glades with. She couldn't wait until her father chose her a suitable stag when she was old enough- having often assured her he would find her an advantageous match who would bring honor to her family- and she could have fawns of her own to dote on.

When she was three, that is when things changed. That was the autumn that the Great Oak destroyed. Bealla had been watching over her newest brother, Ailis, who was the spitting image of their father, when the storm reached its frightening peak. Bealla watched in horror as the tree was split apart in Óganach's wrath, then was unable to save her brother in the confusion that followed. Confusion that their king did nothing to stop. That, coupled with the rumors that it was his fault their beloved Oak had been destroyed (and all the other rumors, plus her father despising him), turned her against King Drustan. She could never forgive him for the misery brought upon both the herd and her family by him.

The events of the next year were also life changing, though for the better. When the Great Oak was regrown and the herd's magic reawakened, she suddenly longed to be more than just a mother - the world was beautiful, and with practice, she herself could help make it even more beautiful. When not under the watchful eye of her father, who still believes that does need to know nothing more than how to carry and take care of a fawn, she seeks to learn as much as she can about magic and plants.

Someday she would like to be able to pass on the knowledge not only to her future fawns, but to any fawn who will listen. She wants to help teach the ladies how to be proper ladies, and she would love to share her joy of herbs with the other royals.


Thoughts on the current situation: Baella is firmly against Dru being their leader as she holds him responsible for the death of her brother due to his weak leadership. The rumors that his parentage is not altogether true add to this dislike, plus the fact that she wouldn't go against her sire's political beliefs, and he is one of the ones loudly calling for a change in leadership.
