Cutie Mark: Glyph-Mark: a rearing lizard beast of his homeland, a crude depiction.

Personality: If Nassir were to choose one word to describe himself, it would be loyal.If somepony else were to describe him, they would like refer to him if brash... if they felt like being polite. In truth, Nassir is loyal, but only to the old ways of his tribe and his people, which his family has followed for generations. Not having much experiance with Ponies, Nassir is wary of them and their culture. The idea that a pony's role in life are not assigned at birth, but once they have 'discovered that thing that makes them special', confuses and shocks Nassir. <br /><br />Nassir can kill without any remorse or sorrow. He has been trained to do so all his life, after all. However... Nassir has a secret love. A love... for potion brewing. He is ashamed of this. It goes against his own image of a perfect warrior, feeling weak for finding joy in a task that has such deep roots in herbalism, in... in plants! He hates using what may very well be his own talent, only allowing himself to do so in the most dire of circumstances.

Backstory: Nassir grew up in the jungles of the Zebra homelands. The jungles make Equestria's Everfree Forest look like a lovely park in which to picnic in the afternoon. If is full of all sorts of wild beast and monsters that would gladly make a Zebra their breakfast if they were able. They'd gladly make a whole village their dinner, in fact. Nassir, being the first child of one of the village's greatest warriors, has been trained practically from birth to fight, and to defend his village and people. As such, his fighting style focuses more on protecting another over himself while remaining deadly. He is trained in fighting beast, ponies,zebras, and all sorts of other beast. His mother was the village healer, and as such he managed to pick up a few basic brews. <br /><br />Nassir follow's the old traditions of his people devoutly. Like most of his people, he has a great inherent fear of the stars and anything to do with them after a meteor destroyed a major Zebra city many centuries ago, causeing them to fear both the sky, the night, space, stars, and also too large of groups, fearing that it was the large amount of Zebra's in one place that angered the stars to the point of attack.
