untamed
Never been broken
Untamed describes something not domesticated, trained, or brought under control.
An untamed horse hasn't been broken for riding.
Untamed wilderness remains in its natural state, unaltered by human development.
The word often carries romantic connotations of wildness as freedom or authenticity: her untamed spirit, untamed curls.
What is untamed resists civilization's constraints.
