Pan is characterized by innate grace and beauty. Whenever she moves you are struck by the notion that you should stop and stare, behold this beautiful black filly and everything that she is. Pan is eye-catching, but she is innocently eye-catching. She is completely unaware of the stares she attracts and is usually focused on other things. What this other thing is is debatable. Pan is the most innately curious and brave filly among this crop. She investigates everything fearlessly and never bolts. It's like she doesn't have the flight instinct that her ancestors possessed instinctually. Pan is not afraid of anything, and she is especially not afraid of challenges. She stands right up to them and never backs down until she comes out on top. Pan is ambitious. She strives to be the best at everything she does and is highly competitive and intelligent. One thing about Pan that always catches people off guard is how innocent she appears. People take her at face value to be just a pretty face, but underneath that thick layer is a deep matrix of intelligence, analysis and curiosity. She has a depth of spirit few other horses can rival and an innate ability to be stunning.
Leg Type: Variable
Pan is an unbreakable puzzle out there on the track. Her demeanor on and off the track does not change; it remains coolly the same. Yet when she nears the track, her rider knows the gears start spinning in her brain. Pan is a very analytic and intelligent creature. She has the ability to size up her field from the start, mainly how much she likes the other horses. Interestingly, she doesn't work out a racing strategy until the race has actually started. With a quick break she settles herself in the middle of the pack, and from there picks literally any position to run from. If the pace is a bit slow she will easily lead. If it's fast she'll drop back and bide her time as a closer. If she's feeling particularly pretentious she'll be a stalker and push the leaders through their paces before drawing off if she can. A big filly like her can't find as many narrow gaps to slip through. The one thing Pan requires is clear running room. If that is granted, no matter how far to the outside it is, she will come roaring through in unstoppable maelstrom of speed to claim the win. Pan's specialty is taking the lead in an easy-going fashion and drawing off to win by many, many lengths. She is class through and through when she gets out there and likes to win by as wide a margin as possible.
