Texas Stanton

Texas Stanton, fearless and dedicated sheriff of Gold Springs, is the middle child of the Stanton family, and followed firmly in her mother’s footsteps. When her mother retired from the sheriff position and moved away from Gold Springs to raise her third daughter, Texas was already a deputy, and stayed behind to eventually take up the mantle of sheriff. When she can find the time, Texas loves to visit her mother and younger sister on their ranch, finding nothing quite so relaxing as helping her mother wrangle horses, trying to understand the latest fashion fads her sister is talking about, and eating honeyed cornbread under a prairie sky. One day, when Gold Springs is a bit more peaceful, Texas hopes to go looking for her wayward sister Montana, though even she would admit she doesn’t exactly know what would happen if she found her. Texas was born and raised in the town of Gold Springs during the height of its gold-mining boom, the daughter of a gold miner and the town’s sheriff. She lived an easy-going life due to the town’s affluence, but always aspired to be like her mother and fight to uphold the law and help others. Texas joined on as a deputy at sixteen, and the future was looking bright for her, however, over the next five years the gold mines of Gold Springs slowly began to dry up, and the once-peaceful and prosperous town turned to infighting over the last of the gold. Townsfolk began to move away as bandits and outlaws became ever more common, and Texas’s family decided to move on. However, Texas, ever stubborn and determined to see her town restored, stayed behind, becoming sheriff and slowly bringing order back, one outlaw at a time. But, with a corrupt mayor, bandits on all sides and very few people she can trust, Texas plays a dangerous game, and one she’s not likely to win. Texas associates with many people such as: April Briggs: Texas's loyal deputy and friend who was sent from the big city so that she could prove herself in a tough environment. Unfortunately the environment proved far, far tougher than she imagined. Anthropomorphic fox Roxxie Roo: Bandit, outlaw and all-round bad girl, Roxxie is Texas's biggest (literally and figuratively) rival, having clashed many times in the past. The only thing Roxxie loves more than money is squashing Texas. Anthropomorphic kangaroo Smiling Jacks: A cattle rustler and occasional bandit, Smiling Jacks is the leader of the Red Hand bandit gang, who Texas has run afoul of many a time. Smiling Jacks herself is a cheerful and happy-go-lucky young rabbit who enjoys robbing banks, stealing livestock and having said livestock sit on top of Texas. Anthropomorphic rabbit Mayor Vivian: The mayor of Gold Springs, Vivian is a sly, cultured lynx who has big plans for the town, as soon as she has the sheriff out of the picture. Vivian is loathe to get her hands dirty herself, but luckily she has a gang of thugs for that sort of thing. Anthropomorphic Lynx Georgia: Texas's old deputy, who was fired when she started taking bribes. The massive mare now as Vivian's right hand man, and has been promised the position as the town's sheriff once Texas is out of the picture. Anthropomorphic mare
