Backstory: His parents were made up of one unicorn and one Pegasi. Who went by the names Soul Star (Mother) and Soprano (father)<br />His father was the one who taught him how to fly, as a result, his mother felt left out a little bit because there was nothing special that she could teach him, seeing as she was a unicorn and he was a Pegasi.<br />He knew it, everyday he looked into his mothers eyes and he could see that she yearned for a way to bond with him, and she could tell he felt the same way, they were related, after all.<br />One day he came downstairs in the middle of the night, he had found his mother awake multiple times at this time of night, but the draw of the nighttime and Princess Luna always drew him from his Slumber. But this time, he's mother was gambling, and he had watched her as she and his father had been playing the night away, admittedly, his mother knew that his father wasn't very good at gambling, or Poker for that matter, she had yearned for someone who she could get competitive against.<br />"Hey, Dad." Moonlit Spoke up. "Why don't you let mother teach me?" There was this stigma in his family, that they didn't really need to come 'of age' for something as simple as a little poker game. His mothers eyes' brightened<br />"O-oh! of course, and I can teach him!" His mother was obviously happy that this was a chance for the two to bond in a way that neither of them ever tried before.<br />His mother taught him the rules of the game, how to play, the rules, and other important details.<br />"Okay, mother. Since this is a first real game, how about a wager?" Moonlit put his hoof on the table while his father watched intently. "Somewhere around that 10 bit mark. ." He offered, a smug grin on his face. "I can do this." He thought to himself. "Alright." His mother agreed. "We'll make up the wager as the game goes on. Are you sure your up for this?" She asked. "Of course I am, I ain't no little foal no more!"<br />His mother laughed. "Right right, well lets get this show on the road." Now, she was intending on going easy on her son, but it seemed that she didn't need to at all. Seeing as he won the game in the first 10 minutes, as she sat there dumbfounded. "Y-you... y-you won already?" She asked. "Moonlit, I can't believe I'm saying this, but... You're like a natural." She said, her eyes beaming. That's when a gambling cutie mark appeared on Moonlit's flank. She thought him everything she knew, knowing this would be a perfect bonding experience that she and he had both yearned for, and Moonlit knew that just as well. All the late nights he spent awake with his mother had made him realize that he also really loved the night and the walks outside at night.<br /><br />He takes some time to roam the night too. The hematite stone he keeps on display in his Ponyville house reminds him of his passed mother, who gave it to him on one of their night walks.<br />
