#i don't remember if Inola is a shoneshone language (the language of the Comanche people) but I figured Charles and Tayen stayed with many

[rdrthingies]

i will share my oc for @kitsuonyo and you alone TW for r*pe but only mentioned and child abuse

Aight so meet Tayen (Smith)

She’s 20, Comanche and white mix, autistic, and bisexual!

this is a commission from the very good @jaegervega​ !!

she was born because her Comanche mother was r*ped by a white soldier, and so she never felt like she belonged within her tribe despite the Chief and Elders welcoming her as one of their own.

When she was 7 years old the soldiers returned and took all the children to a reform school run by a Catholic Church. She was there for two years and suffered heavy child abuse as was common within the reform schools.

At 9 she stabbed one of the priests in the eye with a stake and stole a horse and ran away. She wandered the wood lost and hungry and came across a lone camper and decided to try to steal from him.

Tada! that was Charles Smith and he was like “uuuhhh there’s A Child here” but even though he thought he should’ve taken her to another tribe to look after her, he decided to let her stay. (He also saw her pick a fight with a coyote over some jerky she dropped and thought it best if she stayed with him).

So now they’re Siblings bc I crave that good sibling relationship and she is just about the exact opposite of Charles in that she is loud and angy and WILL fight you.

“I’ll kick anyone’s ass! I’ll kick your ass, I’ll kick Gods ass, I’ll even kick my own ass!”

She’s also autistic and commonly stims via flapping her hands, playing with her hair, and humming and hooting like an owl. (fun fact! The hooting is what inspired Charles to nickname her “Little Owl”)

Fast forward to 1899: she steals John’s saddle bags bc why not but doesn’t know he’s part of the gang. She’s actually been reaaaalllyyy wanting to join a gang to have Friends.

Later they join the VDL gang and they’re getting the tour, she sees John and John is like “YOU” and she’s like “haha F” it’s okay though they’re Good Friends now.

She also has a major crush on Javier bc who doesn’t and in my little au they end up together.

But she is Very Traumatized of sex bc of something that happened in the reform school and so she doesn’t... really know a lot about that kinda stuff which does make for some pretty fun discoveries

the first time charles mentioned sex around her she was eleven and hissed at him and hid in a tree for two hours

She likes to wear face paints as Comanches will wear face paint for decoration as well as war. She mostly likes to wear it as to draw attention away from her blue eyes (they’re her least favorite thing about her body). The colors she commonly wears is Red for power, green for endurance, and yellow to show that she is not afraid to die (she may also have depression)

So yeah she likes to pick fights with just about anyone and will constantly get hurt. Her least favorite gang members are Micah, Bill, and Reverend Swanson in that order.

Her weapons consist of a LeMat revolver (it has that sweet, sweet shotgun option). A sawed off shotgun, a hunting knife, tomahawk, and a bow and arrow.

Her horse is the black brindle Missouri Fox-Trotter named Inola or “Black Fox” and he is a Little Shit they’re perfect for each other.

anyways this is her she’s my Child and I Love Her
