Age: 25

Gender: Female

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: <p> Almost always is soaking wet because she plays in the rain so much, either jumping in the actual puddles or flying through rain clouds to break them up.<br /><br /> On the rare occasion that she isn't drenched, she keeps her mane styled in a fashion similar to Trixie and just lets her tail flow naturally akin to Fluttershy.<br /><br /> Her eyes are teal in color, similar to Princess Luna's or Fluttershy's. </p>

Cutie Mark: <p> A full moon with a storm cloud partially covering it. It signifies her love for the night and rainy weather. </p>

Personality: <p> Puddlejumper is usually quiet unless she is around those she knows, which she can then be pretty random and almost a complete opposite to her normally perceived self. No matter how hyperactive she may get though when with friends, she is always soft spoken.<br /><br /> She is very patient and highly altruistic, two traits that go well together to a point. Everypony has their breaking point though, and Puddlejumper is no different. She usually just snaps and then gets over her fit quickly, but she has done or said things when pushed over the brink that she then feels bad about and wishes she could have avoided.<br /><br /> She is extremely loyal to her friends and prefers to avoid confrontation, just don't take that as cowardice. She will stand up for those she cares for and what she believes in, even if that means the odds are against her. This has gotten her into more trouble than it has been worth most of the time. </p>

Backstory: <p> Puddlejumper grew up in Cloudsdale and was always fascinated by the weather factory, especially during the rainy season when the water had to be funneled up from reservoirs below. Most of her younger years were spent trying to figure out how to get her cutie mark, but her attempts were normally lackluster and she would find herself hanging out at the weather factory to cheer herself up.<br /><br /> Once, after a long day of trying to find her cutie mark, and looking rather blue, one of the workers in the weather factory asked her about her troubles. After explaining them to him, he asked if she wanted to take a shot at creating a rain cloud. She jumped at the opportunity and eagerly watched as he demonstrated what she needed to do. She put her all into making that cloud, struggling to pull the necessary lever, but when it came sapping downward her eyes lit up as she saw the cloud she had made glistening from the shine of the moon behind it. Even more exciting was when the worker colt nudged her and complimented her on her fine cutie mark. No way was she going to be able to sleep, so she spent the rest of the night helping her new friend make clouds.<br /><br /> Since then she has taken up the usual weather tasks of the pegasi, but she performs her duties at night because of her love of the night. This has made her very comfortable with being alone because most everypony else is asleep with the exception of the night princess and the few other pegasi that work at night. Some nights she doesn't have very much to do, and can be found just laying on a cloud looking out over the land. She has been visited on more than one occasion by Princess Luna while she was making her rounds. Since not many are active at night, it warms her heart seeing there are ponies that enjoy her night. </p>
