Age: 32

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Crossfeed bears a similarity to Synapse / Stereo (identical twins), having dark minty green eyes with a yellow-green color mix for her coat. Her mane is a pure golden color and stands out straight, with a noticeable curve around her neck. Fur can be seen sticking out of her right hoof. She can usually be seen wearing headphones, which serves as being cosmetic and reducing the damage from the ear-piercing sound of gunfire.

Cutie Mark: Headphones with two traverse waves going against each other, symbolizing her adeptness in electronics.

Personality: Crossfeed is a no-nonsense pony that could get things done, having a strong work ethic. She does not like delaying anything. Confrontational by nature, Crossfeed is generally quick to solve problems with weapons or her hooves, though her interactions with others mostly suppress her negative thoughts due to her moral standards. <br /><br />Crossfeed can be snide and uncouth. Unless it's somepony she knows, Crossfeed will tend to act rudely. This is somewhat justified with her pessimistic nature to ponykind. She secretly has a psychological problem as well, standing in the middle of being a stone-cold killer or a regular pony. Crossfeed does not like to harm the innocent (though she would steal from them).<br /><br />Crossfeed can be difficult to please. If any pony does not agree with Crossfeed's opinion, she would turn aggressive and intolerable. She does not trust other wastelanders easily.<br /><br />Her weapons and Crossfeed are inseparable and is almost always kept in perfect condition and perfectly polished. Despite her displeasing attitude, Crossfeed is skilled in repairing weapons and using; Crossfeed can create and rig traps and explosives as well. She has an inclination to hoard virtually everything.

Backstory: Crossfeed was born in Royal Springs in the western coast of Equestria to Stereo, a former resident of Stable 79, who, along with a group, left Stable 79 when the medical systems of the Stable failed. (A few years later, it was found that a number of ponies in the Stable turned cannibal in order to survive; some ponies survived in a last resort attempt by intentionally destroying the radioactive cooling vent and, after a few days, making a run outside.)<br /><br />Crossfeed soon gained interest with tinkering with pre-war material. She gained her cutie mark at the age of 10 when she repaired a pony's radio. She soon began the town's junior electronic mechanic; Crossfeed was even said to be capable of restoring pre-war Terminals. <br /><br />Crossfeed was known to be troublesome in her fillyhood. She antagonized a good deal of ponies and was often a rule-breaker, trespassing into private property or battling ponies by force. <br /><br />Eventually, Crossfeed, in her own will, decided to leave Royal Springs and moved to Stables 12 and 21, otherwise known as the "Combine" (named also to distinguish itself from the ghoul-infested Stable City) after both Stables opened and settled, in engineering and mechanics. When the occupation failed, however, Crossfeed needed to switch her course.<br /><br />She found that course when she encountered a gang from Los Pegasus "Boneyard". They were a group of ponies descending from gunsmiths, military personnel, royal guards, and gun manufacturers, if not one themselves. Crossfeed found a fitting spot inside of the group.<br /><br />Soon this group was to be known as the "Gun Gallopers", after they finally settled on Midnight Island (it was not geographically an island, but was known for its location mainly used by astronomers) factory, where they produce weapons to this very day. As a whole, the Gun Gallopers stockpiled on military-grade weaponry; they do not turn into an official weapon seller until 25 years has passed (though it has been reported that there was some trade with New Appleloosa for essential survival supplies).
