Serious
Bale comes off a serious invidual first of all. He has a straight no-nonsense attitude and he doesn’t joke around, especially if it has anything to do with herd business. He might seem to not get jokes but is actually very witty and deals sarcasm around very often. He’s known for his stone-faced impression and he very rarely seems impressed with anyone – he can even seem a bit judgemental at times. Bale is very composed at all times and to see a crack in his appearance would be a true sign of skill.
Calm
Bale doesn’t fuzz around or get flustered. He is very ready with his words, he thinks fast and keeps cool. He would rather wait things out than act too fast. He is very together and takes pride in it. You could surprise him to his core and not necessarily know about it at all. Bale seems to be very hard to tick off and is very patient, especially if he wants something from someone. He can wait for very long periods for something he has planned to happen, he is often very good at creating plans. He also has a certain skill to sound intimidating even when speaking very calmly and softly.
Observant
Bale tends to stay alert at all times and takes notice of things and horses around him. He will memorize even slight details and use them to his advantage if a chance presents itself. He is a good listener and likes to attempt to get others confide in him and tell him things. From the way he looks at you, you might think he doesn’t care or is not paying attention, but he most certainly is. He can also make someone feel like they’re the most important and interesting thing in the whole wide world, should that suit his purpose. He likes to think himself as a good judge of character and he will act on those impressions very freely.
Calculating
Bale doesn’t rush into things or make rash judgement. He always thinks before he acts or says a word. He always calculates his situation and his reactions to it. You know you’re really close to him if he lets down this barrier and speaks his mind more openly. He is quite good at hiding his opinions and appears political very often. He only gives as little away about himself as he can possibly get away with.
Private
Bale doesn’t share any personal things lightly and he will not confide in fast acquaintances at all. His biggest secret is his sexual orientation and he will go to any lengths to appear as “normal”. He is very efficient in covering things up and works at maintaining his image tenaciously. He doesn’t take true interest in the affairs of others, unless they hold value as information. He likes to pretend that he does, though. Most horses he meets have absolutely no idea how he actually is.
Strong-willed
Bale usually knows what he wants and works very hard at getting it. He is very strong-willed and even headstrong at times, and is quite good at making others believe it’s a bad choice standing in his way. Bale can be quite cold-blooded and seems to lack empathy. He likes to pretend he cares and he makes an effort to seem like others, especially mares, matter to him, but they truly don’t.
Persuasive
Bale can be very pleasant if he wants to be and has quite the silver tongue. He doesn’t believe things should always be solved with brutality and violence and would rather try to persuade others to do things for him out of free will. He is however very strict about hierarchy and doesn’t stand any foolery from anyone below him; if he had a free choice he wouldn’t listen nor see the mares. He doesn’t resort to violence easily, but does like to enact punishments if they are needed and if he does, he never goes easy – and loves every second of it.
Charming
Bale can entertain others if he so chooses, he is very polite and can sound very sincere. He rarely uses his charm full-on, as he can’t be bothered with mares and he doesn’t like to be too charming towards stallions. But if you get to his inner circle, you will see his charming demeanor a lot more, it comes naturally to him whenever he is relaxed. To those he cares about he is actually quite nice, and has less secret agendas and self-gain in mind.
Loyal
Bale is extremely loyal to his herd and his leader. He considers it somewhat of a life’s purpose to serve the needs of the herd. He thinks very lowly of horses that don’t share the same ideology. Bale is a creature of pride and devotion, and for his herd and leader he is always willing to set personal dislike and comfort aside. One could even say he's fanatic about his herd. To those he cares for and trusts he is always very honest and helpful, which is a contrast to his normal reserved self.
History: Foalhood:
Bale was born into the Bachelor herd, he was completely born and raised by the herd. His dam, Sylvia, was a slave and his sire was nothing special either. Bale was always very jealous to those foals born from Elites and given a smoother path forward. He was determined to work hard and get as far in life as he could. Due to his tallness he was a clumsy and unbalanced foal, his body parts kept growing at different ratios and he mostly just looked weird. He soon learned, however, that there were actually beings lower than him – the mares of the herd. This fed his ego and gave him a sense of importance. He grew up thinking mares were nothing to be bothered with, and he never had any interest towards them due to that.
Adolescence:
It was increasingly obvious that Bale wanted nothing to do with the fillies, unless he was tormenting them in some way. He enjoyed sparring and fighting, especially if he could think up tactics and take down his opponents in clever ways. His miss-fitting mess of a body was starting to get more organized, his growing up evened out enough for him to find his strength and balance and learn how to use them. He spent as much time as he could following up older herd members, especially Elites and watching them in their duties. At this point he had also learned that it was considered normal for a stallion to take interest in mares at least sexually – something he had never been into. Bale didn’t want to become a weirdo, he wanted to be a good and honorable Bachelor, so he buried his true desires deep inside and took notice from around him. When he turned 17, he did successfully manage to mount a mare. He learned that mounting, too, could be an act of violence and it was easier for him to manage that way.
Adulthood:
Bale became a warrior, part of the Guards of Infantry. He took his position with pride and considered it his life-long duty to protect his herd. He spent a lot of time and energy becoming the best warrior he could be; learning both tactics and strength. His body served him well; he was tall and athletic, a good all-rounder with a sharp head. His goal became serving his leader and climbing up the hierarchy ladder, if ever possible.
