Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: A wave of sound with musical notes dispersing from it.<br /><br />Story: When he was first living in the Canterlot slums, the mare next door was having trouble getting her foal to sleep during a storm, he offered to try to help. They tried hard for some time with conventional ways to get the foal to sleep...it eventually came down to his singing 'Lullaby for a Stormy Night' to the foal, lulling it off to sleep immediately. He was about to leave until the mare pointed out his cutie mark had now appeared. Plainsong Skyjumper now had a reason to sing a lot more, and so he did, whenever he could.

Personality: Somewhat secluded around certain ponies, though around others, completely comfortable. A bit of a hopeless romantic. Has a strong respect for everypony around him as fellow ponies, is tolerant of most everypony. He will handle some situations perfectly normally, and fine, whereas others he may get anxious and panicky. He thinks, a LOT...about anything that comes to mind, at times, overthinking things. He likes to make others feel good about themselves, and even likes to flatter them. Has to really be given a good reason to really not like somepony.

Backstory: He led a rather normal, easy-going life at first, outside of Ponyville, but then a fire caused by a stray lightning bolt took his family and home from him; a tragic day for him, as he was the only survivor. He learned to accept life as it was, that reality can be harsh, but you can always find good in it. He was raised by his parents' freinds in Cloudsdale for several years, until he sneaked into flight camp, and was kicked out of Cloudsdale. Next, he lived in some slums in Canterlot, it was all he could afford at the time that was somewhat close and he even earned his cutie mark for singing whilst living there. He was practicing his flying and singing every day that he could. He worked a few jobs, and sang for money on onccasion, but he got tired of the Canterlot life little by little, he needed something different, so he saved his money for some time. One day, shortly following the events of the Royal Wedding of Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor, he decided that Canterlot just wasn't exactly a satisfying community for him; it was always too uptight and orderly, and ponies so overly-judgmental, many acting as if they owned others simply because they had more money. He was tired of it, and was now old enough to live on his own, and decided to do something with himself. He found some uninhabited land between Ponyville and the Everfree forest, and began building, and over time, finished what would become his new home.
