Age: 31

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: A taller than average, slate grey mare with a white blaze on her face. Her messy mane is a dark blue with sandy brown and pine green stripes.

Cutie Mark: (Not in the picture, although she has one) Two pine green puzzle pieces.

Personality: Soft-spoken and kind, Hidden can be social, but prefers to work alone. The exception is her adopted daughter, Stella, a faun.<br /><br />If you have something that grabs Hidden's curiosity however, she'll gladly spend the entire afternoon chatting about it with you.

Backstory: Without writing down her whole life story, Hidden Tales is an archeologist. More specifically, she's trying to find out what happened before recorded history, when even Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were fillies. The one time she was able to get a meeting with Princess Celestia, she left with very few, very unsatisfying, answers. Because of that she's taken to traveling the globe, searching ancient ruins and discovering their secrets.<br /><br />On one trip through Whitetail Woods, she came across a small orphaned Faun. Fauns are rare, they keep to the deepest parts of forests and tend not to trust anypony except themselves. So to find a young one, on a public trail no less, was quite a sight. She reported her finding to the Las Pegasus police and took a month off her traveling to take care of the abandoned foal. After no one came forward to claim her, she simply took her on the road with her, naming the little creature Stella, after the constellation like spots on her flanks.<br /><br />Her next expedition is the Ancient Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, deep within the Everfree Forest. However, they're scheduled to stop in the town outside it, Ponyville, to get supplies. Gee, I wonder who they'll meet there?
