Age: 37

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Gray coat and darker gray mane. Her mane and tail have 2 red stripes and she wears them gelled. Her mane covers up her false eye partially. Her left eye is neon red, her right eye has been replaced by a round, enchanted ruby. The gem eye is surrounded by small, overlapping metal plates. She wears a cloak to conceal her cutie mark.<br /><br />Ironblade is heavily scarred from fighting griffons. Her most notable scars include one over her left cutie mark, the shattered tip of her horn, and the three scratches around the plates of her false eye. Her prosthetic has no eyelid, making reading her emotions difficult.

Cutie Mark: A sword with blood dripping down it. The blood is collected in a large drop below the tip of the blade. It represents her combat abilities, particularly with sharp blades. She also has moderate healing ability.

Personality: Ironblade is rather serious most of the time. She doesn't smile or laugh a lot, and is an expert at controlling her emotions. She looks on things in a detached sort of way.<br /><br />Ironblade rather likes younger ponies. She enjoys visiting bars simply to shock and impress ponies with her stories. She's amused by that which would disgust another pony, and doesn't run on the same mindset as most ponies. <br /><br />She doesn't dwell on the past much, though she does look with nostalgia to the days when she was young and reckless. She still maintains a reckless fighting style, charging and overpowering opponents before they can fight back. Usually.<br /><br />It doesn't always work.<br /><br />Iron is a cynical mare who is very slow to trust, though if bits are involved, she often can't help herself. She is also perfectly willing for any excuse to fight.

Backstory: Ironblade was born in Canterlot and lived there until she got her cutie mark. After that, she wandered about, offering her skills as a mercenary and eventually living with the griffons, prize fighting for a living. She lost her eye in a duel with a griffon, eventually replacing it with a ruby. She stayed with the griffons in spite of this.<br /><br />She currently wanders Equestria, visiting bars, telling tales, and hiring her services to anypony who asks.
