Personality: Due to never being around any other pony’s other then his parents, or having to worry about the well being of others, Elementum is somewhat courageous enough to try new things out, but not to go against the horrible dangers his parents spoke about.<br /><br />Being alone means that he has become very self reliant when it comes to entertainment, also increasing his creativity as well as skills to do with survival. This also led to him questioning many things, though he had a few books to read about matters on, he never felt contempt with the answers his parents gave him, even to go as far as trying to trick them into giving him answers thus making him somewhat sly.

Backstory: History<br /><br />Elementum was born in the snowy mountains of Equestria, he lived with his parents until recently, they were secluded away from society, this was down to wanting to raise their children themself without the pressure of society up on them or their foals. His father being a pegasus and his mother a Unicorn, would often travel down the mountain to work and bring back food, during their absence Elementum would stay at home.<br /><br />Being born in the cold, and learning to cope with it from a young age, Elementum has build up somewhat of a resistance to cold the coldness and this only increased when learning cold related magic.<br /><br />His parents never took them with him, they wanted him to grow more independent and find his own way in life with out worrying about the needs that society brings like money and such. He was not there first child, he had two older siblings before him however they too left home when they came of age, and this was shortly after he was born, having few memories of them Elementum has only ever known his Mother and Father, not even wildlife ventured near his home.<br /><br />From a young age Elementum often found himself bored, with a few books about equestrian history and magic and the house only containing the essentials such as a kitchen and bedrooms and not being one to cook Elementum would often just wonder around his home, not straying too far but not far enough to find anything more then snow and ice.<br /><br />Being a unicorn like his mother Elementum took this as a way to keep him occupied, his mother was fairly well learned in magic, and at his request she taught him some basic environment spells, mainly to do with water and thus snow & ice. Because of his surroundings Elementum never had to worry about the lack of resources to practice with, often coming up with new spells himself out of boredom to keep him occupied.<br /><br />The spells he used were that to manipulate water, this allowed him to also control the ice and snow often leading to makeshift items such as sled, models and various other simple items. Even at his request he was ever allowed to venture down with his parents they warned him of danger mostly to keep him at bay then actual danger, so he never got a chance to do any jobs that you would commonly find even the cooking was all done by his parents the only thing he had to do was study and find ways to keep himself occupied. Of course with his two siblings they had each other, so his parents were happy thinking that like them Elementum would find ways to think of new things to do, however being only one this was very hard to do.<br /><br />------------------------------<br /><br />Current<br /><br />Now being of age like his siblings before him, Elementum has been given permission by his parents to leave home. After being dropped off at the bottom of the mountain by his father and mother, and a short but sweet farewell from them both, he set out in to the world. He knew nothing of the outside world, or what to expect other them from what he has read. His main goal is to find a place to live, currently living off supplies he left with, and making makeshift shelters from ice.<br /><br />Traveling down the borders, from the Borderlands down through Raptor Claw canyon, sticking close to the mountains due to the water and snow near the peaks, Elementum eventually found himself in Fillydelphia. Completing odd jobs there, still taking shelter with his own resources on the borders, and using the money he earns to replenish his food, he carried on after hearing about Ponyville. Going from almost isolation to a bustling place like Fillydelphia was not very appealing to Elementum, if not scary. So the appeal of Ponyville being that of a much more peaceful, a better way to build up a life if anything sounded like a much better option.<br /><br />Eventually reaching Ponyville one faithful night thanks to the directions he was given, and the aid of pony's he had met on the way, Elementum once more set up a makeshift home, knowing that the next day he would need to venture into Ponyville and finally start his life.
