Red Cedar

I think I should have lived 700 years in either direction.

Guess I'll bring in Applejack and Red Cedar. Links in my signature below.

That's good, too.

Ice Storm, I hope.

@PathfinderCS Applejack dared to breathe a little sigh of relief as she felt herself beginning to be lowered to the ground again, thinking that just maybe there was a little hope yet, but no sooner had she done so, she became suddenly, dramatically aware of the full force of gravity taking merciless hold of her, and of plummeting... Dropping without any sort of warning, she landed on the side of her injured shoulder, a bare squeak of pain before she lost consciousness. How long she was out, she'd never know, but the howling wind outside was too much for her to ignore no matter what. Trying to shake the fatigue, the pain, the desire to just stay right there, she lifted her head. "T-Trixie?" she called softly, then a little more urgently. "Trixie?" Eyes only barely able to focus on the blue shape not far away, Applejack practically crawled over to Trixie, unable to put any weight on her left foreleg. Dragging herself next to Trixie, she could only do one last thing to protect them both, pull a blanket to cover them over their heads, in case the sand burst through her makeshift patch job on the hull. "'S'Okay, Sugar Cube." she muttered, spent. "We kin... just rest through it now."

As far as I'm aware, none.

Pegasi are from mythology, so it's not like Hasbro can claim sole rights to them. The description you give of your characters themselves bears little resemblance to MLP, so it's probably good. Your proposed artwork however is to close to MLP's and will definitely need a rework.

Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

Not really, no. Just come in hope of something interesting.

Okay, now I know Equestrian justice is weird. They put a filly in Tartarus but Trixie walked free after her stunt with the amulet.
