History/Bio:
Lani's parents where high school sweethearts and had gotten married right out of high school. Sure they had their hard times but they worked threw them, with the help of the horses and Mark's parents. When Renè had found out she was pregnant with her first daughter it was a shock to both her and Mark, for neither had planned on having children while so young. At first it was hard with everything that happened since neither knew how to handle children or knew much about raising them; in fact if it wasn't for Mark's parents they would have probably lost their first born daughter.
It was only three years later that Renè found out she was pregnant again, this time since she knew what to expect it was easier for both her and Mark. During her time pregnant with Lani she spent more time around horses and did so until she was forced to just help out around the house; not that it stopped her from riding or anything. Once Renè had Lani she saw a power in the small baby that was the same was what she had. She spent more time with Lani and always had Lani with her nobody what she was doing; even if she was taming a wild horse she had her daughter on her hip. Most would think that would be dangerous but not Renè because she saw how the horses reacted to her daughter and knew it was how they had reacted to her when she was a baby. In fact lots of time Lani would escape the house or her mother and go to the fields to play or be around the horses; not even the most wild horse could harm or get frighten by Lani during that time.
Lani grew up on the ranch and stayed around the horses helping out in any way she could. Most of the time she could be found following her mom or her dad around the ranch when they worked. She had her first pony when she was three and often she rode her pony around the ranch when she did start to follow her parents around the ranch as they worked. Which because of that is what the ranch hands that had been with them from the start think is the cause of her being able to ride so great yet have trouble walking on her own two feet. Once she was seven her dad taught her how to use guns and she learned quickly from him even though her mom didn't really want her to use guns much.
Although the summer when Lani turned eight was what changed her life forever. Her mom had packed up to go camping with her two daughters in the woods around the back of the ranch. They where riding, with Lani's older sister complaining some about having to ride, on a well traveled path. The path itself was safe and had been marked for anyone who got lost and then they could find their way back to the ranch. Although it was about noon when a storm came so suddenly that a loud clash of thunder sent the horses racing for shelter, although Renè's horse just bolted for he was scared of thunder. Lani's horse had gotten to a cave and laid down next to the small child that was scared of being alone during a storm. Lani's older sister's horse had found a good patch of trees that blocked the water and waited under it with the sister staying on the horse watching, for she loved storms.
After the storm when both girls came back to the ranch they where swept up into a hug from their dad and the ranch hands that had worried about them. Lani clung to her dad and asked him about her mom and that set all of them off to search for Renè with Lani and her older sister staying home with the oldest Ranch Hand's wife. The sisters had to stay to dry off and make sure they wouldn't get sick but both stayed out on the porch waiting for the others to return with their mom. As night got closer the sisters grew more fearful for their lost mom and had called the police and let them know what happened to help with the search. Although it was around midnight when everyone returned to the farm with the sister's mother's horse. Lani ran off the porch and to the horse since she saw it was frighten and her first instinct was to calm it down so she could understand what had happen.
After Lani found out what happen she had started to tremble and cry, which had her into her father's arms and back on the porch wrapped in a blanket quickly. She said that Renè was gone from the world and that the body got washed away in the river that was near where her mother's horse had been found. That confused people that heard since nobody had said where they found the horse at and her father seemed to understand since her mother often knew stuff before he told her on horses that was. Her older sister heard and yelled at Lani before running to her room to cry since her older sister didn't like to cry in front of other people. Mark took his youngest daughter up to her room and held her letting the oldest ranch hands deal with the cops and set up another search party for the week and during the day.
After that summer Lani seemed like someone else since she acted colder towards people, most just thought it was because of her fights with her older sister. It was in their mother's will that everything she owned went to Lani aside from a few dresses that their mother knew her first daughter wanted. That was the cause of the two sisters to fight with each other over stuff until Mark locked all of his wife's stuff up in a chest, each daughter got the chest that held the stuff that belonged to them in their room and only they had the keys for the chest for the locks where one of a kind and could only be opened by the key that belonged to it. The chests themselves had belonged to the sister's mother and neither tried to get the others stuff. Although they still fought over it just because the older sister was jealous of her younger sister getting most of their mother's stuff.
When Lani was 15 she her dad figured she should get trained in the safe way to tame horses rather than the way her mom had taught her and had the Ranch hand that was dating Lani's older sister start teaching her. She humored her dad only because she did respect the ranch hand that was to be her teacher, in which she knew the reason why her dad didn't want anyone else teaching her was because he didn't want anyone to try anything with her. Which since the ranch hand that did get to be her teacher was already dating her sister she knew that her father thought it would be alright since he knew that the ranch hand and his oldest daughter were engaged at the time. Even with that it didn't help much since the ranch hand did get feelings for Lani, which she returned, and thus he taught her a lot more than just how to tame horses safely. Although Lani's older sister did find out and used it as blackmail to get the ranch hand to marry her sooner and leave the ranch.
Lani was sad at that since the ranch hand was her first love (if you don't count horses that is) and felt like she couldn't trust anyone because of it. When the new Ranch hand came she ignored him and never talked to him since if she was told to tell him something she had always gotten one of the other ranch hands to tell him. Of course her anger towards the new ranch hand was more for her sister than for the guy that she didn't even know. As the years went by she could feel eyes watching her but whenever she looked for them she could never see anyone and none of the horses ever saw anything. In which she could understand what a horse was feeling or saw or even what a horse thought, so working with the horses got easy for her since they could understand that she was there to help them and could understand them. Sure it was probably odd to anyone who didn't know her or who didn't knew her mother but she didn't care since she always did what she loved to do. Although in the middle of the last summer she did happen to get a crush and she hid it from everyone, including herself, but the oldest Ranch Hands could see it but they haven't done anything about it.
Personality:
Lani is a bit of a klutz although she is a bigger klutz around any guy that happens to catch her attention. Around other people she is polite, unless its a bad day, and tries her best to get away. If the person is a guest at the ranch then she plays the nice good daughter, unless the guest is unexpected. Alone and with animals she is kind and gentle, a lot of times is more stubborn than the animals she works with. She loves having fun with her family so she plays around with her family. To anyone she doesn't trust though she might appear a bit cold to them but normally she just ignores them unless she has to talk to them.

lets see how they look;
I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare-back, care-free
Along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head-first, head-long
Without a thought
To act and damn the consequences
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free;;[/COLOR]
Clothing:
She normally wears jeans and t-shirt or button up shirts. None of her clothes are considered girly in any way aside from her rare halter or tank tops. But even then she never wears her halter or tank tops to work with the horses no matter how how it gets. She does have dresses but they are all the ones that her mom left to her; in which she will wear one when she goes to visit her mom's grave.
Unique Characteristics:
She has an ability to understand a horse, although its a rare talent in her family. Horses also seem to respond to her moods if she is close to the horse.
Heritage:
American
Skin Tone:
Pale but with a bit of color despite her time spent in the sun.
Height:
5'2"
Weight:
140LB
Body Build:
Petite
Hair Color:
Brown
Eye Color:
Blue
Markings or Birthmarks:
She does have a few scars from what she does along with her own clumsy falls. She also has scars on her arms, legs, and back from working with horses.
Looks:
Lani has long brown hair that she normally wears up in a ponytail or braids. She very rarely will let her hair be down and lose since she finds it bothersome because it always gets in her face. She can be considered beautiful but if you ask her she'd say she was just cute. She has slender legs and a flat stomach with nearly a d-cup. Her skin is a beautiful pale color despite the amount of time she spends in the sun; but she does hardly ever get burned. Only after a week in the sun during the summer does she get tan skin but any other time of the year she has fair pale skin.
Her blue eyes sparkle with joy whenever she is working with horses or around since they are pretty much the only living things that can get her softer side. Normally her eyes only hold a reserved look if they do show any emotion but she isn't big on letting her eyes show any emotion aside from when she is in a good teasing mood but even then only playfulness and teasing can be found in her eyes. If anyone was to catch her in a daze they would probably see the sadness in her eyes but she only goes into a daze if in her room or when she is thinking or alone someplace.

lets see what you can do;[/B][/U][/S][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear, but not feel scared
Oooh, wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses, oh;;[/COLOR]
Lani smiled softly at the mare she was leaning against in a field under the shade of a weeping willow tree. It was the same spot her mom always brought her to when she was young and sad, thus it made her feel slightly better. In the spot she was in she felt closer to her mom and more at peace and connected to the earth and everything around her. Her jeans where slightly baggy but that was from them having stretched out but then again they where always too tight after she washed them for her to wear to do any work. Her shirt was a white halter top with a short sleeve button up shirt left unbutton, since the weather really was too hot to have too many layers on. Her feet where bare but her boots where left next to the mare she was leaning against stall, she knew the field well enough to know that there wasn't anything in it that could hurt her. Plus she was hardly one to wear boots if it was too hot and she considered it too hot.
Her eyes closed for a few seconds before she reopened them and pulled out her homework, she was in her last year at high school and even though it was Friday she wanted to get her homework done then rather than have to do it at last minute like she normally did. It wasn't like she had anything to do, all her friends where busy with their families for the weekend and even though she had gotten asked out she had turned them down with the excuse that her dad won't let her date until after she has a collage degree. Which that was true only it wasn't her dad that wouldn't let her date it was herself; she never did want to date but she knew that all the guys who asked her out just wanted one thing which she wasn't willing to give. After all she was only a tease at school and even then it was only because of how she dressed than anything else.
She ran a hand threw her ponytail before she started to work on her homework knowing that nothing would hurt her since the mare she was leaning against was one of the wild mares that she was taming, even though to others she was too crazy for them to handle. But with Lani's understanding of horses and the horses sense of her meaning no harm and not trying to break them worked out perfectly since the mare that was with her didn't want to be broken or tamed but she did calm down for Lani because of the understanding that Lani gave off.. Within half an hour she had her homework done, she was smart even if she never showed it with how she acted. She packed up her homework and stood up before she looked at the mare and clicked her tongue letting the mare know that she could run around the field if she wanted to. Besides she was gonna be heading to the creek that ran threw the field.
As she walked she heard the sound of the mare following her and held her arm out for the mare to come up next to her. Once the mare was next to her she petted the mare's neck as she walked but she stopped once they reached the creek. She sat on the ground and slipped her feet into the water while she watched the mare walk into the deeper part of the creek to get a drink and to cool off a bit. With a smirk she kicked some water at the mare and laughed softly when the mare snorted at her and looked at her but she said "Hey girl it isn't like you don't mind." She stood up and removed her pants and shirts since she had on her swimsuit under them, something that she had changed into once home from school. She walked into the water and splashed the mare again before this time she got splashed back as the mare ran past her; although she only laughed from it.
Of course she heard barking and looked up to see her dog running in the creek and she shook her head before she moved into the deeper part of the creek and caught her dog to her in a hug. "Now Akemi what are you doing here? So far form home and I don't see anyone for you to have followed around here." She said with laughter in her voice although she knew Akemi most likely followed her scent or her dad had told the dog to come find her and that meant that someone was following Akemi. She sighed as she looked over to make sure her bag and clothes weren't getting wet from the playing of the animals and herself. She swam over to the mare and floated on the water with her head resting on the mare's back while she looked up at the sky waiting to see if her dog was followed or not. Although she did hear Akemi move out of the water and said "Akemi you better not get my things wet or you'll be sleeping in the dog house tonight instead of my room."
