While kind, is no sort of pushover, and knows when to draw lines, and draw them hard. Once she does, isn't one to change her mind easily, if at all. Keeps her opinions very firmly to herself, and rarely changes her stance on subjects.<br /><br />Innocent. While she has had contact with the outside world, she spends most of her time in the forests, away from ponykind. Thusly, knows very little about the advancement of the world, technology wise, though the teachings of the alicorn tribe give her a sufficient understanding of the basic customs, rules, laws, etc. Also has a basic understanding of basic pony nature, and can understand when she's being manipulated or exploited, though her lack of experience still leaves her vulnerable.<br /><br />Strengths:<br />Very good at teaching and encouraging others, and excels at helping those who seem even beyond all hope.<br /><br />Is very patient, and not easily manipulated by others emotionally.<br /><br />Weaknesses:<br />Gullible, especially when her animal friends are involved.<br /><br />High tolerance for non-critical situations can lead to her being taken advantage of.<br /><br />Is somewhat claustrophobic.<br /><br />Likes:<br />Nature<br />Animals<br />Being outdoors<br />Music<br />Teaching others<br /><br />Dislikes:<br />Strangers<br />Fire<br />Being indoors for too long<br />Too much noise

Backstory: - One of the few ponies that constituted Equestria's mythical alicorn tribe, and the alicorn of the forest. Her role is as their guardian, and protector, and she defends them to the extent of her ability (though oftentime, it can prove beyond her abilities).<br /><br />-A very distant pony who would often spend most of her foalhood out in the forests surrounding the tribe, playing with and talking to the animals. Over time, she gained a special connection with them, and the world she spent most of her days in, learning to understand them as any pony would another.<br /><br />-Earned her cutie mark in defending her home. A magically placed blaze from a group of hired slash and burners caused her to battle for hours, attempting to both usher all the trapped animals to safety, and quell the flames. At the end of it, she succeeded in the first, though she failed at the second, as her forest had been reduced into a barren wasteland in the aftermath. Driven into an emotional state by the actions, she ended up unleashing a magical surge that grew back half of the forest, though the rest would only grow back in time. As she dealt with the rest of the group responsible, saving what remained, only then did she finally realize her true destiny, as a guardian of the place she'd grown to call her home.<br /><br />- Has since expanded her duty to encompass all forests, though which one she's in is simply a matter of occurrence. Routinely moves so as to keep a constant check on every area.
