'Difficult' doesn't quite cover Tyra. She finds joy in dumping unexperienced riders from her back, only respecting those who prove time and time again that they can handle her and her (sometimes dangerous) tricks and although the road to gaining her trust and respect may be a long and difficult one, it is well worth it for she is a tokota that in times of danger becomes feircly protective of her rider. Tyra is perfectly aware of her size and strength and will happily use it to her advantage if given the chance, often making 'play' fights get a tad too rough for most tokotas but she is careful to not take on more than she can handle on her own.
