It reaches all the way down to her belly but is usually picked up in a messy bun with a pair of knitting needles.<br />Tail: Short and badly trimmed. She cuts it herself.<br />Eyes: Bright violet<br />When performing she wears a red veil pinned to her mane and delicate little slippers made of tinsel.

Cutie Mark: A pair of butterfles outlined in pink, symbolizing the bond she shares with the spiritual world. Ghostess can communicate with and see spirits. With their help, she can move objects and get a glimpse of a possible future.

Personality: Ghost Gossamer, known better as Ghostess (Mistress +Ghost), is a pony of few words, but stronghearted and stands her ground when needed. Prudent and polite but acts somewhat uptight at moments. Very self-concious on the inside.

Backstory: Ghostess was born an only child to a well-placed family in Canterlot. Added to her awkward appearance and out-of-place tastes, she would have active conversations with apparently nopony and begin to move and levitate objects despite the lack of a horn, which created mockery among her fellow classmates and society, even her parents seem slightly embarrassed. Growing tired of this, she fled from home as soon as an opportunity came, which in this case was the Carnival.<br />She found a place and filly to call her own, and soon discovered her special talent, using it as an attraction at the carnival. Nevertheless, fearing mockery again, the white mare decided to pass off as a unicorn and made herself a crystal horn, which she carefully fastens on her forehead. Although she likes her job, Ghostess dreams of being a tightrope performer.
