Backstory: <p> Mezra grew up in an orphanage in Baltimare till she was five. Most of her time there she was picked on because she was shorter then everyone else. She was even treated like a burden by the curator. When she had enough of of living there, she packed up some food, stole some bits and took off in the middle of the night while they were all asleep. Mezra set out towards south, not knowing where else to go.<br /><br /> After traveling for a few months, she reached the border of the badlands. She was scared at first but she soon built up enough courage to venture into the unknown. After another month she stumbled upon an old house that was surrounded by grave stones. When she went inside she found bookshelves stacked with books that covered the walls, old tables and furniture. As she walked deeper into the house she found a room that was filled with tools, pots and glass jars filled with strange ingredients.<br /><br /> After a little more looking around she found a door that led to a basement. When she went down there she found what looked to be an operating table, trays filled with tools, cabinets filled with more books. And a chair with a decaying body of a unicorn in it, which seemed to be which seemed to be the former occupant of the house. When she got closer to the body she finds large old book with stitches and patches of leather or some kind of animal skin with a strange symbol on it, clinched in the dead pony's hooves. She then tried to pull the book from the body's hooves.<br /><br /><br /> After what seemed like an hour she finally got the book out of the dead pony's grip. When she opened it she finds pages and pages filled with spells and incantations. After a bit of reading she finds out there are spells of how to summon spirits, conjuring creatures from other planes of existence and raising the dead. Mezra was captivated by the book and its spells. She read it over and over till she had everything memorized.<br /><br /> The firs thing she tried to do was bring a dead rat she found back to life. After everything was set up, and after taking an old cloak that the dead unicorn was wearing, she started to do the spell. It didn't take to long for the dead rat to start moving and making sounds. When the spell was fully done the undead rat crawled towards Mezra. At the same time there was a flash of light. When Mezra looked at her flack she find her cutie mare. And for the first time in her short life, Mezra smiled and hugged her knew undead pet rat. Who she'll later name, Lucy.<br /><br /> From there she read every book she could find in the house till her mind was like a library. And as she got older she practiced her magic everyday till her abilities almost matched some of the greatest Unicorns in Equestrian history. Later on she decided to move back to Equestria, but not before raising a large group of undead ponies to help her bring everything from the house to her new home deep inside a forest with swamplands near Baltimare.<br /><br /> She spends most of her days experimenting with magic and on cadavers. </p>
