Moraine

By Stellafera

• March 8, 2013




Age: Mid-Twenties

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Her bushy mane and tail (shorter than depicted) stick much closer to her head and body than the picture above suggests.

Cutie Mark: Two snow-capped mountains, representing her love of the cold and outdoors. She has an unusual resistance to frostbite and other such dangers of winter.

Personality: Moraine has moved to the higher altitudes that she so loves and finds as much delight in nature as ever, finding beauty and meaning in the ice and snow. But you'd never get to see her joy; when she spots another pony coming her way, her smile immediately turns to a frown, and the air turns so icily tense that anypony with sense would turn away immediately from the misanthropic mare. Her name, which is the term used for the dirt and rocks deposited by a glacier, is very descriptive.

Backstory: Born in the Las Pegasus suburbs to two upper middle class businessponies, she was the youngest of her 4 siblings and the only girl. Her parents were harsh and overbearing when they were there, but were barely home, so discipline was inconsistent at best, and being treated like a baby by her brothers didn't help matters. Moraine hated everything about her family and her life in Las Pegasus, savoring the few moments away from "those, smug, self-satisfied idiots" that she could get. Yes, nothing made Moraine smile.<br /><br />Then they went on a two week long winter vacation to Windigo Village, up high in the snowy mountains. One morning, Moraine snuck outside to enjoy the nature on her own, and found herself enraptured in its beauty. For the first time, she was genuinely happy. And although her family returned to Las Pegasus and didn't revisit the location, she kept the experience close to her heart.
