Decker Slade
Welcoming him to State mid Autumn 1901, they've met up for casual interactions ever so often. As a kindred spirit he later moves into her just as she seems to need it most. He is there when others aren't and states she can't do anything to scare him away. As her heart is broken and although Ramona stays distant first and claims "If someone has to lose, I don't want to play" they grow quite close in little time. Sharing a similar set of convictions they spend their first winter together, forging an unbreakable bond. With their passion for charity and nature, they match perfectly, making life easier for Ramona in ways she would've never dared to imagine.

With piercing blue eyes, raven black hair, soft tan skin and tall posture he's a looker. Field Medic for King's Cross General Practice and hunter; He is calm, humble and supportive, observant, vigilant, compassionate and loyal to a Tee. He submerges Ramona in various new perspectives that mend the things that are broken in her, straightening out the twists and bends in ways that remind her of some healing friendships she had back in Houghton. He expresses an understanding for her beyond the need for words. He digs deep, very deep, causing her to feel vulnerable but exceptionally strong. Slow but intense, as time progresses this relationship seems resistant to the tides and destined to go a long way.

d.d. 04/14/1902
They've been together for quite some time now. Shortly after Ramona returns from an extended travel for studies, Decker surprises her by asking her to marry him at one of their favorite spots. However she didn't expect them to be so serious this soon, she accepts his proposal.

Bloodflood part I & II - alt-J
Jimmy Hersh
A well known fact to most she comes across during her first months in State, Ramona is utterly infatuated by Jimmy Hersh. As a blonde, slim younger fellow with blue eyes, a wonderful soft voice, and totally into her - he catches Ramona’s eye within days after appearing at the pub in Rhodes. She'll soon help Jimmy out with a place to sleep and provides warm, wholesome meals as early tokens of love. Both quite inexperienced they easily connect and start to spend their time exploring State together and sharing their daily routines.

She learns Jimmy is a sincere, caring, passionate and determined bloke that takes everything presented to him at face value. After their time West their relationship deepens further but as time progresses, Ramona will discover dark sides to his personality. Frighteningly enough, she will recognise a few of those in herself, however deeply buried and different they'd come to expression. He turns increasingly stubborn and volatile. Consumed by their love she'll allow him considerable latitude for an extended time. Her perverse interest for his actions keeps her around and she shows remarkable little interest in refraining him from violent actions and joining The Remnants, which inevitably leads to a downward spiral. Over time Ramona grows less accepting of his choices and they eventually drift apart, far enough for him to break up with her over it.

Years pass as she clings to the idea that he might change back for the better. Many people express they deem it unseemly and pitiful. However she tries to soak off, she stays close to the group for reasons as simple as she considers a few of them still friends, and is witness to their struggles from the sidelines. After going through numerous challenges internal conflicts eventually drive Jimmy to make a life changing decision for which he pays with his life. Not behind bars, not by execution order, but in freedom a short time after.

Horses & Pets
"Yuma", border collie.
"Nebula", a sorrel overo Criollo mare.
She belonged to Asher, Ramona's cousin. It's a lovely sure-footed mare with a bit of an attitude that Ramona prefers to go hunting with. Asher rode her as as barrel racing horse, so she corners real tight and navigates through thick forest superbly. However easily grunted by snakes and other small critters, she does fine around big animals and doesn't get rattled by gunfire. Once in a while Ramona will breed her, producing wonderful and colourful overo foals.
"Comet", a few spotted white Appaloosa colt.
Bred from Big Valley wild horses, Comet is a very well balanced horse with a tad of a dance to his tread. Holds excellent composure around wildlife, prefers to be pastured year-round, holds out great in roughs and deep snow and proves to be a true trailing horse. Dislikes being touched, especially on the feet or toward the hind end. Prefers carrots and is often seen actively foraging for wild herbs but is generally not fussed with what he's being fed.
"Wichapi" (Morning Star, aka 'Sun'), a grey overo American Paint stallion.
Bought at the Rosewood Ranch Horse Auction, bred by Lakota on the Great Plains. Close to home, this boy was used for hunting Buffalo but lacked courage and motivation to that was needed. Ramona thought he might serve better herding and garding a flock of sheep. Wichapi has proven a great talent chasing after coyotes, foxes and even fend off an occasional lone wolf, so he might indeed be perfect for the job. Oftentimes ridden unbridled he loves to roll in the mud and nibble on clothes.
"Meridian", a dark bay Andalusian mare. Expressive, strong minded and a real people pleaser. She's not the fastest one and isn't too sure-footed and a terrible jumper but Meridian has proven to be an excellent riding horse. She dislikes getting her feet wet and has a strange preference for wild mints and candy canes.
"Sedna", a grey snowcap Appaloosa filly. Young and impressionable but very sure-footed and peaceful. Ramona had fallen in love whilst traversing Big Valley with Comet, who'd shown a fancy for her along the fence line of Pronghorn as well. After a short clapping-hands the filly was quickly bought. She loves apples and carrots, not hay and seems to have a preference for the most murkiest of waters. Being quite energetic she has a hard time standing still and will try and move forward under the saddle by discontently turn circles.
"Aurora", a gold Turkoman mare. Originally named "Runs for the Roses". She's an ex Derby horse Ramona is nurturing back to health, offering her a second chance in life.

"Gravity”, a grullo dun Criollo mare. - STABLED WITH LIZETTE GRAHAM -
Gravity is a well-centered older mare she brought with her from up North. Gravity is very tractable but has difficulty standing still and being hitched for too long, and will try to escape. Does not like to be stabled. She is the most affectionate type, likely to nudge you, loving, innocent. She is a bit obtrusive to other horses and spooks from dogs. She likes apples, not carrots, is okay with hay and seems to prefer the most dirty, mucky water over clean, clear water to drink from.
"Juno" (Queen of Heaven), a dapple grey Missouri Foxtrotter mare. - STABLED WITH DECKER -
A true working horse. Adopted from a former law officer and loves to move… the happier she is, the faster she moves, ears pricked and exuberant. Hates crossing bridges. Eats almost everything that is presented to her and is a true stable princess. She does not like to be pastured, she'd rather be lazy eating hay under a roof. However she's a dependable horse, Ramona and her don't go together that well. She might shine as a medical response horse, so she'll be with Decker for the time being.
"Orbit", a sable champagne Foxtrotter stallion. - SOLD -
Orbit is a troublesome young stallion, originally purchased for Ramona's sister Minerva. He dislikes rain and will try and bolt away from under the rider when displeased about it. Funnily enough, he loves to wade through bodies of water and needs to be restrained from lying down in shallow streams and muddy pools. He likes to work and thrilled to do his job as soon as he learns it. He likes hay, not apples, not carrots and goes around picking young leaves from low hanging branches any chance he gets.
