((July 20th open to all girls who could be considered a tomboy or anything like it))
It seemed she always found herself here, in the forest. She supposed it was because it reminded her of the one outside Castle Dunbroch. Just as it was there, she set up a series of targets to practice on. Being in this lovey dovey castle wasn't going to mess with her aim, that's for sure. There were five makeshift targets, considerably less than before, hanging from branches, spaced out nicely. She'd have to make due with out Angus this time around though.
Pulling her bow string back to her cheek she let it loose, staying only long enough to see if she'd gotten a bulls-eye before she ran towards the next one and repeated the process. Whens he reached the last one she looked to admire her work. She was worn out from the running (No wonder she usually practiced on horseback), but not too badly. She gathered her arrows from the target and made her way out of the forest and back to the mansion.
Stopping at where the forest began she sat down for a second as her fatigue caught up with her.

((yay - a place for my little woman))
7 would take the woods over the mansion any day - she was far less likely to be stepped on by someone and others were far less likely to get a razor blade jabbed in their foot. She tended to be up in the trees since it helped her feel less insignifigant. While running the branches like some sort of wild woman, she happened upon the young lady practicing. 7 was impressed by her skills. Maybe what she always secretly thought was right - females were the only compitent ones. Because she was the only warrior (other than 8 of course, but he's about a sharp as a box of rocks) in her otherwise male-only clan, she wasn't shocked at all at seeing a weaponry-savy female.
The white doll decided to spy on her a little while more, even after it appeared she was leaving. After weeks on the island, 7 had began to get used to everybody being bigger than her and could bring herself to speak. Hell, she was even growing not to notice the lock around her neck. But still, she kept her face hidden behind her bird skull mask. 7 halted, not only because the forest ended but because she saw Merida stop as well. 7 deccended, leaping down to lower limbs of the tree so that she was close to eye-level with the human.
"Are you alright, girl?" She called out.
