There is a small chance that The Blitz may in fact be a lizard. It seems highly unlikely, yes, but... She just never seems to blink! It was Arthur, the stables' owner, that originally jokingly suggested that she may be a reptilian in disguise and, seemingly overnight, this rumour grew until even some outside of working with her knew of it. It's a bit unnerving, really - having a horse seemingly scrutinise you without blinking a single time. Her stare makes most feel awkward enough that they look away (which is, presumably, when she finally blinks - out of sight of those that were previously observing her).
Blitzard is a snob. There's no other way of putting it; she wants the best and refuses to settle for anything else. There are multiple cases of her refusing to eat because she doesn't deem the food good enough for her, and of her simply ignoring other horses that she's introduced to. Presumably, they're all below her. She must think herself as some sort of noble - a duchess, perhaps, or even a queen. The Blitz seems to take pride in being intimidating, so it is no surprise that she continues that on the track. When she's running, though, she can't use her hard stare to worry her opponents. Instead, she uses her full body - running close to those ahead of her in an attempt to break their nerve and shake them. She'll pick off horses one by one this way - and if it doesn't work, she'll fall back on pure grit and determination to take her win, putting her all into running as fast as possible to overtake every horse in the race. |
