Facts about Myrcha, Cieszmir's horse:
Has a sadistic and evil sense of humour.
Kicked Lettow clear across a field on the first few nights Cieszmir took him in.
Don't go near her back end. Ever. She is a filthy opportunist.
Likes to sneak up on people as much as a bigass ghoul horse can sneak, and then bite them.
If she really hates you, she'll rip your hair out instead.
She definitely likes to fuck with people tho. If she knows you're scared of being bitten by her, she'll sneak up behind you and just loom so that you shit yourself when you turn around and see her there. Then she'll pretend she was in the middle of reaching out to bite you.
Kindred usually survive being kicked by Myrcha, but Kine don't. Myrcha, despite her mile-wide malicious streak, can usually tell the difference and won't usually kick a Kine unless they're really pissing her off. But yeah, you get kicked by Myrcha and you're human, you're dead.
I say Kindred "usually" survive a kick from Myrcha on account of their physiology and generally being harder to kill, but uh, she has Potence, so a kick to the wrong place might take a Kindred's head clean off, or crush their skull if they're sent into a brick wall or something. If you live, you're spending a lot of blood rearranging your innards and reattaching segments of your broken spine. Ever wondered how Lettow's Fortitude got so high?
Myrcha is an absolute angel to Cieszmir. He is not deceived. There's a reason why he calls her his "witch" or "demon" horse.
(He loves her to pieces anyway. He's had her for centuries.)
"Myrcha, no!" is a phrase Cieszmir says way too often.
Often mistaken for a stallion for her sheer fucking size. Provided there aren't any other obvious sexual dimorphistic characteristics I don't know about. Sorry am not a horse nerd like Cieszmir.
Very tsundere with other horses in that she'll act annoyed AF but doesn't usually murder them and secretly enjoys spending time with her own kind now and then. Not that Cieszmir ever dares board her because he knows what she's like.
Does not spook easily. If Cieszmir wants to ride her down a New York street, he can do it. She may respond by being filled with rage instead (like, moreso than usual) and has kicked massive dents into more than one car.
Speaking of cars, she can go as fast as one for quite a while. Celerity + Fortitude, woo!
Myrcha is a big part of the reason why local Princes find it impossible to kill Cieszmir. They often tried to kill him because he's an elder who's so out of touch with mortal society he's a walking Masquerade violation (he still hasn't yet realised that horses are no longer allowed on roads), but between his high Potence, high Fortitude, and his fucking demon horse, they never have any luck. So they send a fledgling out to track him down and yell at him in Latin to GTFO from a safe distance. If they really hate the fledgling they'll tell them the horse is friendly.
Whenever Lettow hears about his sire being spotted somewhere, there are 2 things he dreads most:
That Cieszmir violated the Masquerade again
that somebody went near Myrcha
