Already Misery of the Strangled Dapifer had learned to not only bring up the brambles at night, but to gently coax the dormant plants to produce greenery enough to feed a whole song! It was a focus the mare had never really had to learn before. Always her ability acted out of a fit of anger or fear. She was done being chased off, tired of being the one chased off for entering someone's territory. If she could learn to control herself, maybe living alone wouldn't be so bad...even if it meant not living up to her promise. She wanted to show the world that a Misery could be lead mare! Could provide and protect a song when the stallion is away! She had watched her mother reign in her pride, watched as she wasn't allowed rise up in the ranks! Well she would not stand for it! Either she'd find the right stallion and be the lead or she'd have no stallion at all! As her mind relived her past she felt the release of power and the sudden flourish of greenery around her. Even the long since frozen over thorny bushes began to breath life again for a brief time.
Embarrassed at herself for letting her self control go the mare shook herself free of it's grasp and made her way down to the iced over stream. If she was lucky maybe she could break enough of the ice to gain a sip or two of the water. Water was always better than eating snow in her opinion.

Yep! I am trying to find my misery girl the right man that doesn't mind having a girl of her temperament by his side. So bring on those strapping young men!
A few things to note about Misery of the Strangled Dapifer:
- She was born in a song environment to a Misery mother - she understands how songs work.
- This girl won't settle for anything but lead mare, so stallions with existing songs need not apply.
- She doesn't understand why most stallions refuse to accept her and drive her away. She believes they are idiots.
- She was raised thinking ALL mystics are jealous of her power and would attack her if they saw her. It would take a miracle to convince her otherwise and will probably take offense if told so.
- She feels that she is perfect in every way - or so her mother told her when comparing her to her non-misery sister. Thus she is somewhat vain and rather proud in nature.
