Jade Flare

By Jadefire

• April 14, 2012




Age: 19

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Light gray coat with a dark gray, unkempt mane, and vibrant green eyes. His mane has a maroon streak and his tail is long with maroon stripes.

Cutie Mark: A wisp of green flame with three green sparkles. It symbolizes his talent for exotic magic.

Personality: Cheerful and thoughtful of others, with an optimistic and idealistic outlook on life. Jade is, however, introverted and uncomfortable in large groups of strangers, preferring to mingle with ponies he already knows. Among friends, he is affectionate, though often silly and snarky; among strangers, he is modest and passive and sometimes overly polite.<br /><br />When conversing with others, his extensive educational background sometimes slips through, making him seem somewhat like an intellectual.

Backstory: Born in Salt Lick City, Jade moved to Canterlot as a young colt to enroll in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. His special talent is exotic magic: magical arts common to griffin kingdoms and dragon clans, that aren't typically taught in Equestria schools. Thanks to his vague special talent and education at the prestigious school, he is a talented spellcaster (though not nearly as powerful as Twilight Sparkle). To help supplement his income, he took a job as a caretaker in the orphaned dragon nursery operating out of Canterlot Castle when he was old enough, a job he enjoyed.<br /><br />When he was 17 (approximately one year prior to Twilight Sparkle's defeat of Nightmare Moon), he suddenly dropped out of the School for Gifted Unicorns and moved to Ponyville. Shortly thereafter, he gets caught up in a conspiracy involving the corrupt mayor at the time. He made friends with his current circle of friends during the adventure, which culminated with the removal of the Mayor, and his replacement with the current Mayor Mare of Ponyville we all know and love.<br /><br />He currently works odd jobs around town. As his special talent isn't particularly useful for work around Ponyville (and he's not good at being a teacher), he takes whatever part time jobs he can get.
