Cutie Mark: None.

Personality: Stubborn, friendly, never gives up but can be ride and mean if someone makes fun of him.

Backstory: When he was born, his parents immediately called for a doctor because of hi eyes. The milky blue coloring seemed odd to them. After running some tests, they found out he was blind. As he was learning to walk, he would obviously walk into objects and other ponies. Because of this, they feared letting him learn to fly. They moved from cloudsdale to ponyville so he would hopefully learn to live the ground, like the pony Fluttershy. His father had a deep admiration of her, and his mother respected her and always tried to be as kind as her. Mirror, on the other hoof, respected Rainbow Dash. He had heard the tales of her sonic rainboom and wanted to be just like her. So he started teaching himself to fly.<br /><br />He went around to different pegasi, looking for somepony to teach him. None would because of his blindness. Eventually, he grew tired of being viewed as weak and bought a pair of glasses to hide his eyes. Eventually, he found a Pegasus to teach him the basics, lying about being blind. When he learned about how to fly at a basic level, the theory of it at least, he would go and practice. After a few months, he succeeded in flying for a few feet at a time. This is when he realized he needed a way to tell his surroundings while flying. <br /><br />To do this, he went and found a book in Braille to learn about air currents. Seeing as he wasn't a bat, echolocation was definitely not gonna happen. He figured, that if he could learn about air currents, he could learn to avoid objects by feeling the air around him. This path of training has earned him a few broken and fractured bones from crashes, but he has not given up. As he tries, he keeps getting closer to perfecting it. At this point, he is able to fly around at a little below average speeds, but he can usually avoid things in his path. He has just been enrolled in class, and has yet to meet his teacher, a Ms. Cherrilee. He has been told of a group of fillies that he might befriend, the CMC, he was told. His parents said they had heard this group was known for doing risky stunts to get their cutie marks. <br />
