Flit

By Widdershins

• September 26, 2016

Age: Second oldest of a family of six

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: Flit has a dark lime coat and a long mane that travels all the way down his oddly long neck and parting on either side of his back in a tusk-like shape. Flit also purposefully dyes his mane & tail the brightest, most offensive shade of red he can find. <br /><br /> His wings are the same color as his coat, but a bit lighter underneath. Though as fast as he beats them, they're usually just blurs behind him.<br /><br /> Lanky, semi-athletic build. One could swear his neck is a bit longer then the usual pony's. <br /><br /> As much as Flit enjoys life, his wild-eyed expression is never far from a giggling fit.

Cutie Mark: A flailing fish (red body, golden fins), his favorite item to slap his younger brother, Shortstack, with.

Personality: To Flit everything in life is just another adventure and game to play. He just has trouble telling apart playthings & playmates. Flit makes a point to never curb his impulses, lest he miss out on a new experience.<br /><br /> Flit's favorite pastime is teasing his younger brother, Shortstack. Were it not for Short's easily ruffled facade of toughness Flit would likely wander off to find somepony else to pester, or worse, heed his self-serving desires and wind up in trouble with the law. <br /><br /> Flit hasn't much of a filter on his behavior, and lives to get a reaction out of others. He's the sort of guy to bellow out in the middle of a funeral service to ask if anyone thought to bring any beers then brush off the resulting glares by calling them a load of killjoys.<br /> While Flit is undeniably asinine (my condolences to the donkey population) and he may take a while to catch onto when somepony has had enough of his jeers & jabs; Flit doesn't like to see somepony genuinely down in the dumps. As he is quite the believer in instant gratification, he may possibly be the happiest of the family & the one to often remind a body about living in the happiness of the moment. He may mock you openly for your fears, but he knows enough to stop when you're crying.

Backstory: The majority of the time that the family has had to hurriedly move on from a town has usually been due to Flit & Shortstack's endless fights they keep picking with each other without regard to the safety of the town & ponies around them.<br /><br /> Flit can usually be found fluttering ahead while goading on the quickly gaining, and infuriated Shortstack.
