Age: 21

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Glaicer's coat is dark shade of blue. Her mane is roughly cut and scraggly and a darker shade of blue.<br /><br />Her body is littered with small scars that she has picked up from her time living wild. She is also a few inches taller than the average pony but not to the extent of an alicorn.

Cutie Mark: Shards of ice:<br /><br />Glacier specialises in Ice magic and is capable of manipulating ice (and to a lesser extent, water) at will.

Personality: Glacier gets things done. She will use any means necessary to get information from ponies or to achieve a set goal. Anyone who fails her is tossed aside like junk.<br /><br />To Glacier, death is not something to mourn but more of an enivitability and as such, killing another living thing poses no problems. Despite this, she will often only attack when provoked and reserves killing for if it is beneficial to her.<br /><br />Despite it being almost impossible to become a friend of Glacier's, anyone who manages will find themselves protected by Glacier until death or the relationship changes.<br /><br />After seeing her mother leave her father at a time of need, Glacier has never considered the idea of a relationship with another pony as she had only experienced the pain it brings to ponies. However, she will defend her father to the death as he was the only one that truly liked her.<br /><br />When posed with a difficult decision to make, Glacier will often hear two voices in her head. One speaks with a self-centered view-point of survival, encouraging Glacier to do what benefits her and to hell with the consequences. The other clings to the remainders of Glacier's socially acceptable side, telling Glacier to do what is acceptable and right.

Backstory: After having her mother leave her father when she was just a foal and with her father in an ill condition, she left home so that all the family's remaining money could go towards his treatment. In Glacier's eyes, staying at home and having money that could be going towards medical treatment bring spent keeping her fed seemed evil. When she was 14, she finally decided she had spent enough time preparing and began living rough in the Everfree Forest.<br /><br />Her time in the Everfree was spent trying to further improve her strength, magical technique and survival skills. Although she ocassional recieves injuries that would kill the average pony, she stays in the Everfree and calls it her home.<br /><br />At school, things were not easy. She would be bullied by ponies she never knew and be tormented over being interested in Magic rather than colts, fashion and other things that she didn't care for. She was generally able to ignore the constant teasing but the when the insults began to get too hurtful and irritating, Glacier would soon show them what the power of they were insulting.
