Notes: For unknown reasons, the front forelegs glow at night, with the intensity dependent on the lunar phases (ie. brightest under a full moon, no light under a new moon). While this strange phenomenon does not seem to affect his physiology, his personality appears to be related.
Bio: It's no secret that Bat Ponies love the night- however, despite this, Wane's foalhood, and onward into his adulthood, was a quest to figure out what his markings meant. With Hollow Shades having no light to shed on the matter, he took off on a journey of his own to discover the truth behind it. Since then, he's been around Equestria as a traveling craftsman, building, repairing, or remodeling structures from Fillydelphia to Manehatten. All the while, he has been researching his condition, consulting libraries, magicians, mystics, and the occasional dermatologist. Despite his largely migrant life, he's come to settle in Ponyville, a (mostly) quiet hamlet at the foot of Canterlot Mountain.
