Yeeeah, that would be Colonel Banastre Tarleton of the Green Dragoons, ostensibly male, nicknamed "Bloody Ban" by the men under him.

Then again, I'm havin' trouble with the male thing.

Something about an erect canon.

My eye went right to that horse doing the awesome photobombing eyeroll-and-bit-chewing; the human was an afterthought, and I didn't think about the gender until I got to your question at the end. *laughing*

I don't know what this says about me.

PHOTOBOMBED BY A HORSE. IN OILS.

*awesomesauce*

I think Col. Tarleton Banastre (I just like splashing that name around) would be a little sad to be pwned by a horsie in his victory portrait.

This is totally leading to a nameless one-off cameo in the lesbian regency romance, though, where *koff* a colonel who made "his" name in the colonies is just as much a chick (albeit an epic horsewoman and sabre-swinger of a chick) as the protagonist. *beams*

I 100% approve of this cameo! (And of that name. Tarleton Banastre is an excellent collection of syllables.)

I may also mentally insert a photobombing horse into whatever scene mentions that dashing colonel, but such is life.

I am actively seeking readers for the LRR, so if you have a thing for horsies... (especially since I last rode in 2001, only ever rode in nonpainful/nondressage ways, and my horse-choreography beta reader seems to be about to have a baby...) There's also cavalry sabres, PTSD, and lesbians.

Did I mention those.

:D
