Garnet ex-slave gladiator. I've always found the ring-in-the-nose thing for minotaurs ridiculous. They're used to control bulls. In keeping with that, the only minotaurs of mine you'll see with them are those who have at one time, been enslaved in the crudest fashion. Enola was captured so young she doesn't even remember any other life but that of the arena. She was like a prize racehorse, though hardly pampered. Perpetually fractious, rebellious, and hard to manage, extreme measures, including an enchanted ring, were required. She wears leather bindings to cover the manacle scars on her limbs, where no fur can grow any longer. Free now for a year, she nevertheless is stuck with the ring, and hates it with a passion.
