Age: 18 years old

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Midnight has a 2-toned black and gray mane with gray fur and wears a hooded black fullbody cloak when going out in public.

Cutie Mark: A dark magic emblem representing dark magic as her talent

Personality: As a frequent practitioner of the dark arts one would expect her to have a very dark and/or cruel and twisted mind or be a very serious no-nonsense pony or be very mean. But this actually could not be further from the truth. Despite being a heavy user and researcher of dark magic Midnight has a very kind and caring heart and is very loving and thoughtful of other ponies. She is also very intellectual and loves to read. And she has very deep admiration and respect for those who pursue knowledge and magic and follow their dreams.

Backstory: Midnight Shade is the last of the race known as the Dark Unicorns. All of the Dark Unicorns were slaughtered in a great purge in order to prevent another ruler like King Sombra from ever rising again. From then on she lived a life of solitude in the Everfree Forest in a well-built but carefully concealed cabin house with her pet Raven Aviarius to escape her tormentors and pursuers. Midnight devoted her life to the pursuit of knowledge and studies and helping others. She took care of homeless ponies and orphans whenever she found them. Always ensuring that they found a good home.
