Age: 19

Gender: Female

Species: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: A light brown book with a dragon on its cover, representing her love of dragons.

Personality: Bipolar, generally sweet, unless she is provoked. When provoked, she will be thrown into a fiery rage, can get very angry over simple things. loves to tell facts about dragons.

Backstory: Born and raised in Cloudsdale, Brimstone was never very athletic. She never seemed to be interested in school, either. Her parents constantly went off in rants about her future weather career, always arguing over weather she'd make snow flakes, as her mother does, or rainbows, like her father. She always insisted she did not want to do either, but her parents scoffed at the mere idea of their daughter not following the family legacy. Her father often even claimed she couldn't do much else, considering her less-than-extraordinary wings.<br /><br /> <br /><br />She remained uninterested in pretty much everything for the majority of her life as a filly, in a constant limbo of neutrality. She was fine with this.<br /><br /> <br /><br />One day, that all changed. Her class mates began to gain their cutie marks, much to her despair. She realized that nothing made her special. she didn't like rainbows, snowflakes, or even clouds. She couldn't go fast, she wasn't too smart, she... she had no passion. This terrorized her. Was something wrong with her? She began to lash out. she got mad. And sad. scared, and even happy. She fantasized that her cutie mark was that she had no talent. but what would that look like? Nothing. but then, how could that be her cutie mark?<br /><br /> <br /><br />She lashed out at a teacher in class one day. A substitute. She screamed and claimed him to be stupid. she scorned cutie marks, anyone who had them, and anyone who claimed she would. The sub nervously compared her outburst to be similar to that of a dragon. ignoring his joke, she went home.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Bored of her parents complaints about her behavior, she decided to sneak out. Her parents never really paid attention to her when they weren't ranting, so she figured it'd take them a few hours before they noticed she was gone. she'd be back by then. after wandering around a while, she decided to go to the library. once there, she remembered what the teacher had said. "A dragon?" she found several books about them, and within a few minutes, was completely hooked. She read book after book. after awhile, a gleam appeared in her eyes. completely forgetting her family woes, her cutie mark, she poured through so many books she'd fall asleep still reading. She began to do reports on them, drawing pictures, but she'd keep it a secret from her parents. they wouldn't be happy with her after finding out she was so obsessed with dragons. Her cutie mark remained non-existant. it wasn't until one day, when a teacher took the class on a field trip, that she got her cutie mark. after seeing a creature she'd only seen drawings of in real life, did that cutie mark appear.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Her parents weren't happy. outraged, they threatened to throw her out if she considered to continue her career path. She promptly left, moving closer to the dragon migrations, to Ponyville. she spends little time at home, however, as she spends most of her time studying dragons in their homelands.<br />
