History:
Annabel's parents were obsessed with Edgar Allen Poe when they had her and her brother, Logan. Why she got all the Poe in her name she has never known, but she thinks the name fits her and has never minded it. Ever since she was little she's wanted to ride and be a famous writer. Some of Poe's magic seems to be alive in her and she adores writing on anything she can when she can pry herself away from riding.Personality:
Annabel and Logan grew up in Siberia where their mother and father were ambassadors to America. They abolsutely loved it there. The winters were cold and brutal but gave way to an awe-inspiring beauty that melted into summers hot and intense, not unlike Annabel herself. They rode all the time, Logan on his faithful steed Silver and Annabel on her spirited mare Desperado. (She never understood why it had to always be a boys name.) Desperado wasn't really hers, though, and she longed for a horse of her own she could compete in Western competitions and jump with.
One day, though, when Annabel was fifteen, she went out riding on her family's extensive property with her family, along with their trusty bull mastiff Marco. They didn't notice the weather, so when they were very far away a horrible storm hit. Desperado uncharacteristically spooked at a thunder rumble and Annabel fell off of him and into a crevice in the rock. The fall broke her leg and arm and knocked her out for a short time. When she woke up her mother was riding with all haste back to their home to call someone and Marco had jumped down after her. He did it as soon as she fell apparently, but she was so thankful for his presence she didn't ask. The crevice was dark and scary and she hurt so bad all over, and now it was raining pretty hard so she was very cold.
After what seemed like an eternity they finally got Annabel and Marco out and rushed her to the hospital. Besides her broken arm and leg and concussion, she had gotten pneumonia from the cold. It was a tough battle for her life, but finally they were able to proclaim her stable and she would be fine.
Recovery took forever, and her natural independent nature made her always want to do things herself. She would get up and get dressed, though she effort would leave her pallid and breathless. As soon as she got braces she would constantly take them off to practice riding, even though she would almost faint from the pain. Annabel's clean bill of health finally came and she was so happy. Finally she could be herself again.
Ever since then, though, her family always treated her differently, like she was more fragile. Logan was more protective, though that was the only change in his behavior. Marco accompanied her everywhere.
One morning when she woke up on her sixteen birthday, she looked out into the paddock and saw a beautiful piebald paint mare prancing around in the summer sun, her hair gleaming beautifully. Annabel was ecstatic and, going with Poe, she named her Lost Nevermore. All Annabel called her though was Never.
Then, just a few weeks after getting Never and Logan getting his paint whom he named Ghost Rider, the family was relocated to Monsoon Valley. Annabel and Logan are exceedingly talented at jumping and competing, along with their Western, so the twins from Siberia will definitely pose a challenge for the twins of Monsoon Valley.
Annabel is a very independent person and doesn't like to be taken care of. She needs at least one solid hour a day where she is totally alone and not bothered. Be it doing homework or just sitting there thinking, she needs to have her alone time or she goes slightly insane and snaps at everyone in view. Inside she's very compassionate and caring once she starts to love you, which takes a long time. Annabel likes a great many people, but loving someone, be they family, friend or lover, was another story. Once they were in her heart she was charming, warm, funny, and an excellent person (even if a little protective.) Her soft spots are helpless animals and children, which was why it took her so very long to calm down after Marco jumped in the crevice after her not so long ago. She's fiery and tempermental, but she has a natural grace and charm that makes it impossible not to love her. She's competitive and drives herself hard, but she would never do anything to harm Never.Likes:
