Age: 18

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: At first glance, a light red mane and tail can be seen, without anything notorious to showcase about either of them. An average hairstyle that wear an unique 'charm' to it. His fur shows a very light blue color too, which can be mistaken for a white color if one doesn't look carefuly. As for last, his eyes wear a vivid shade of green on them.<br /><br />His constitution is far from bulky, being incredibly average. He can showcase a fair ammount of strenght and speed when it is needed, but normally he doesn't try to train to increase it in any means, as he is happy as he is right now.<br />

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark shows a winged heart, which was struck by an arrow. The arrow has the nock end coming out the front, which gives the impression of being shot from the front. This represents his love and devotion to the own emotion of love, and shows his sixth sense to see the true romantic feelings of those that he can see and talk to.

Personality: Cupid is a pony that puts the others before his own good, oftenly putting himself in danger and in risk if that means that someone that he holds dear can use that help. That has made that his friends see him as very loyal and trustworthy.<br /><br />But that doesn't mean he will jump at any danger inmediatly. Just as he can rush and jump into most of the dangers, he also knows when to stop one second and think about the consequences of his actions, but his personality will push him more to rush without thinking as long as the hope of helping exists inside him.<br /><br />He shows a really big interest for culture and such. Since he was a young colt, he has shown a big interest on books and reading, which has given him a great knowledge of many different fields: literature, languages, mythology...<br />Although he will never be as good as the people that specifically dedicates to those topics, he can still give a bit of war when given the chance. This also reflects one of his key traits, which is his wording. As the result of intensive reading, he can show a really cult and refinated language, although he normally sticks to normal speaking, much to his own comfort, as he doesn't really like hearing himself talking "like one of those ponies of the books", although when he needs to get the edge against someone, he will speak as well as he can.<br /><br />His trust on the strenght as the mean of solving problems is really low. Although he may fight if no other options are left, he believes that the right words can cut anyone in a half and defeat them better than the biggest of the weapons or punches. He would never do that with evil intentions though.<br /><br />One of his issues is that he can be terribly stubborn about his ideals, even when he knows he is wrong about them, which can put him on situations where he can be the Devil's Advocate with ease., and this can play on his favor or against him on different situations.

Backstory: Cupid Strike is the younger son of a family of pegasi on the city of Cloudsdale. He lived with both of his parents and his brother, and although they had their little fights here and there, he can say with security that he had a happy childhood without lacking something really.<br /><br />He discovered his cutie mark a bit late on his life, which appeared as the result of seeing two of his friends not being able to show their true feelings and keeping them hidden. He didn't knew back then what pushed him to do that, but he jumped and helped them both to open one to the other, and to his surprise he was able to bring them together and actually show the other how they felt. In that instant, he knew that he had some sort of "talent" with love, and his Cutie Mark appeared in that moment, showing him what talent did he had.<br /><br />After finishing school, he wanted to continue studying something that he liked, which was the world of literature as a whole, so with the help of his parents, he moved to Canterlot, and he started to study what he liked, and so far, he doesn't regret it.<br /><br />At this point of life, anything could happen. He is mostly stablished, but there is a world of adventures awaiting him. Some may be silly, some may be serious, but he doesn't know yet, and he truly cannot wait to see what does life have prepaired for him...
