Artha Elizabeth Marston, born 1901. Nicknamed Beth, she was conceived by accident at a time when no children should be born. Her first 6 years of life were defined by instability and constant trouble that her father could not help but find.
At 10 years old, Beth is wild and short-tempered. It's a rarity to see her with shoes, clean clothes, and neat hair all at once. Loves to run, jump, and climb everything in her vicinity; "You must have bones of iron because it's a damn miracle you haven't broken one," her mother says.
Talkative and eager to learn, she's drawn to horses, but isn't good at riding; in spite of that, she's up for the challenge. Unlike her brother Jack, she hopes to run Beecher's Hope one day in their father's stead.
life at the ranch is good for three years...
but then comes the dreaded ending of rdr1. now, what is the marston siblings' plan?

Random bird: *shrug*

So under that bug comic (wonderful btw) you mentioned that Machete's more afraid of horses. Does Vasco know this? I'm imagining Vasco leading out one of his horses like "look at this gorgeous beast!" And he looks over to see Machete's reaction and he's so terrified he looks like he's about to throw up
Well, not initially, but it comes up pretty early on I think. Vasco likes horses and talking about his horses. He probably has hard time believing anyone could be scared of them until he witnesses one of the uneasy Machete + horse encounters in person.
It's not like Machete gets panic attacks just from thinking or looking at horses. He can observe them from a respectful distance just fine, or ride a coach or a carriage since you're not directly in contact with them that way. But they do unnerve him (which in turn unnerves the horses he meets) and he avoids getting too close to them.
I think over time and thanks to gradual desensitization he becomes a little more used to being aroud them though. I'm not 100% sure if he'd ever agree to ride one but enough to touch without sweating bullets maybe. Above all he respects and admires Vasco's horsemanship skills and the bond he shares with his animals.
