Age: 21

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: Dusk Waltz is a rather slender pegasus, having a coat of dark navy-blue and amber eyes, with a short rust-red mane and tail. He is of average height. He often wears formal shirts, usually in dark colours.<br /><br />As Ghost, he adds a black cloak, white socks, and a white mask with slitted eyeholes, that covers all but his mouth. His cutie mark is covered with special make-up.

Cutie Mark: Dusk's cutie mark is a black clef note in front of a crescent moon, symbolising his love for music and appreciation for the night.

Personality: Dusk is rather quiet and may come off as antisocial, but is rather friendly and happy to engage in conversation. He likes to keep to himself, but is not exactly hostile; he sees no harm in a little chat with somepony.<br /><br />However, his biggest pet peeve is superficial complaints from anyone rich, privileged, or both. He does not want to hear about how your day was ruined because they didn't have a luxury yacht in your favourite colour.<br /><br />His hobbies include listening to music, reading, and taking long walks at night, preferably with a clear moonlit sky.

Backstory: Dusk Waltz was born and raised in an incredibly rich family in Cloudsdale. While he was indeed wealthy and considered to have everything a foal could want, he didn't exactly enjoy it that much. His parents wouldn't allow him to play with the 'common folk' around Cloudsdale, secluding him to the spoilt rotten offspring of their rich friends who would just complain if one little thing didn't go their way.<br /><br />His family is music-oriented, and while he did not pick up an instrument he particularly enjoyed, he did enjoy dancing. Years of private classes made him into quite a talented dancer, winning quite a few awards across Equestria in his youth.<br /><br />But it wasn't enough; he still felt trapped in a lavish cage, and had no idea of how to escape. Until his pre-adolescent years, when he saw a movie about a masked thief sneaking into rich parties and mansions and taking valuables. Feeling a thrilling inspiration, be began looking into every subject on the matter; books, movies, TV shows, everything he could find.<br /><br />Thanks to his insistence, and his naturally slender body, he began taking gymnastics classes to improve his flexibility and agility. He began practising sneaking in and out of the mansion at all hours, and made himself a costume, becoming the cat burglar, 'Ghost'.<br /><br />To this day, Ghost has not been captured, and Dusk's double-life remains a total secret to all but himself. Now in his young adult years, he travels around the nation, wondering who or where his next target will be.
