Age: 17 years old

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Foxflame is a ghost white earth pony with very light-whitish gray mane, white tail and gray eyes. Under light, especially moonlight, her figure would turn silver and almost transparent, accidently haunting the ponies in Ponyville and becoming one of the legendary ghost tales. Her mane is straight and goes down to her shoulder, while her tail is curled at the end and similar to Princess Cadence's. As if her existence was null, there was no cutie mark on her. <br /><br />Before she looked completely like a ghost and had her magic taken away by Discord, Foxflame was a red-brown alicorn with a reddish mane and fiery orange, flame-colored tails. Comparable to her now lifeless gray eyes, her orange gaze used to be able to burn right down to every pony's heart.<br /><br />

Cutie Mark: She is a blank flank now, but she used to have a hearted-shaped gold ring outline with a single fire in it. Unlike how pleasant getting a cutie mark should be, hers was obtained or burned onto her when she first casted fire magic. The fire she started almost devoured the entire castle before the weather ponies brought in clouds to extinguish the conflagration. To not to cause panicks, the officials released news saying it was the chef's fault to overbake too many goods.

Personality: Mischievous and self-assured, Foxflame was rather acting too rowdy to be a princess. She knew how to have fun and enjoys everything she likes wholeheartly, playing pranks and magic tricks on others. Spoiled at young age, she grew to have a temper when she would be too stubborn to be convinced for things she didn't agree on, unless she was finally pleased or when a certain somebody was involved. Most of the time she naturally acts a in haughty manner, but she treated them as equals and hate to be called a princess. Under her tender look, Foxflame is actually sharp and straightforward, not afraid to speak up to ones who have more authorities than her. If there were ponies who looked like they needed help, but didn't want any, she would assist them in every possible way anyway.

Backstory: Foxflame was raised as a member of the royal family at Canterlot, despite how she was found as an orphan outside the castle and brought in later on. Rumors said she was might be an illegitimate filly and had one of her parents being a royal while the other a commoner, since she was an alicorn. Oblivious of the truth of her identity, she didn't find out until she was mature enough to question herself. At young age, Foxflame was spoiled deeply and always could get what she wanted without doing any work. However, she also felt lonelier more than ever and was self-conscious of the uncaring attentions other held toward her. No candies, dresses, toys could ever fill the hole in her heart. The ponies at palace mostly pitied her and regarded her pranks as one of her way to get attention, when she only just wanted to have some fun. <br /><br />Her life was full of luxuries, parties, and sometimes random acts of kindness until she found herself powerless to prove her only friend's innocence. For the crime he didn't do her best friend was banished from Canterlot along with his family. The news woke her like a bucket of ice-cold water, making her to see how demanding and poor her life had been. From that day on, after tears were shed, Foxflame devoted herself to study magic for the good and traveled around Equestria to learn how to be a reliable princess. <br /><br />While the Elements of Harmony were fighting each other, leaving Discord to freely terrorize Equestria, Foxflame stood up to fight him by herself when all others acted submissive. She wore maroon armors and had her mane tied into a braid like a scorpion's tail. Her flame tail split into nine, the form she found to possibly wield more of her magics . Despite how prepared and confident Foxflame was toward the battle, her inexperience in combat led her to defeat. The dragon of chaos not only took away her horn and wings, but also drained away her magic, leaving her to look the way she was now. A killing spell was then casted by Discord, but somehow she survived the death blow and woke up only remembering the darkness blinding her before she passed out. <br /><br />Hoping she could console the others on the methods to get her magic back, Foxflame returned to the palace. Then she discovered what was more horrifying than losing her magic: nobody knew who she was, even though she had played the same pranks more than once before or spent almost her whole life at there. What they saw now was a ghost-like pony that claimed to be an elegant princess, which was a joke they laughed on for days in the week. Despaired, but not defeated, Foxflame set off to Ponyville to find anybody that will help her. <br />
