Scarlett Fidelity

• April 10, 2015




Age: Nineteen years old

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Scarlet Fidelity is a young unicorn mare. She has a scarlet coat (which fulfils the first part of her name; Scarlet), a purple/violet mane and blue eyes. Her mane is relatively short, and a small bit hooks past her eye. Her tail is wild, but not Spitfire level wild.

Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is a full black “high tech” crosshair type mark representing her skills for precision telekinesis and fine tuned magical abilities, fulfilling the second part of her name; Fidelity.

Personality: Scarlet tends to be blunt, gritty, defensive, and slow to trust others. She is also driven when it calls for it, fiercely loyal, and imaginative. Her core personality has been shaped by both her time in the wasteland and her time in Ponyville. Wanting to put her wasteland life behind her, she has buried most of her bad experiences from the wasteland in her memory, and has tried to lose her defensive attitude.<br /><br />Her life experiences have been grim. She has seen more things of greater intensity than many that are several times her age. While she pursues her mission with dedication, her life experiences have made her tired beyond her years, and there are many times when she longs for a chance to live a normal life free from the events of the past 19 years of her life.<br /><br />She is a competent fighter due to her time spent in the Wasteland. While she isn't overwhelmingly strong or large, she fights with a quick, ferocious intensity and knows when to cut her losses and run. She is also skilled at picking locks and building and understanding mechanical devices due to her talent of precision telekinesis. Her knowledge of this time is limited however, and struggles at times to fit in.<br /><br />When it comes to protecting herself and those that she cares about, she will often adopt the stance that the end justifies the means. This is a side effect of her life in the Wasteland and the stories of her parents' more perilous journeys. Her observances from both the ponyville wasteland and the remaining wasteland of Equestria have shown her that there is little room for idealism when it comes to protection and safety.<br /><br />She tends to carry around a set of two small metal spheres, about an eighth of the size of her cutie mark. They both have small decals of her cutie mark and are cyan blue, her magic aura and eye colour. She tends to spend hours on end rotating them around each other in the air.<br /><br />Due to an experiment gone wrong after finding a magic textbook in the wasteland Ponyville library, when she is asleep she is never completely asleep. Her conscious mind is asleep, but her subconscious takes over her magic and seems to have a mind of it's own.

Backstory: Scarlet Fidelity is a young unicorn mare. Her story is an unusual one at that, considering it involves time travel.<br /><br />She was born soon before the events of “Fallout: Equestria”, but spent most of her time alone in her home near the Equestrian border. The only other thing she experienced was on her monthly trips to Old Appleoosa, where she met raiders and slavers on the way. Due to her knack for precision telekinesis she has so far managed to refrain from killing anyone. On one trip to Old Appleoosa she caught sight of a few ponies that seemed to stand out. After following them for the next few months she got caught on the edge of the megaspell blast that killed the alicorns. She woke up about 3 hours later (relative time), which was actually many years in the past. Scarlet had accidentally travelled back in time in a megaspell fluke, just after the time of Nightmare Moon's defeat.<br /><br />For the past year she has been constructing a house near the Equestrian border, which she then realized was the house that she was living in back in her relative present. It’s also the reason she liked the house and area so much. Nobody knows she lives there due to the fact that because nobody would believe her, she keeps a very low profile and makes sure that ponies know as little about her as possible.<br /><br />The one thing she managed to bring with her was a small satchel/tool bag and two small metal spheres with decals of her cutie mark on them. The satchel is almost always with her, and is enchanted so that no magic other than hers or her family's (up to 7 generations) can have any effect on it. She also makes monthly trips to Ponyville to gather supplies, which she still finds disconcerting due to her past (technically future) experiences of the area. To this day she knows not why the megaspell sent her back in time, nor what caused it.<br /><br />She does know a few spells that are quite amazing, considering that they haven’t been invented yet. They include "embedding" spells and magic in objects, and charging them to act as an external magic storage. This enables her to perform long range teleportation, and it leaves no physical damage and doesn't seem to damper her internal magic reserves too much. Though it does mean she has to charge the objects up again for when she wants to next use them. <br /><br />She owns a few more spells stored on a pipbuck she has recovered from an abandoned stable, but has never had the time nor the incentive to learn them and put them into practice. There are hundreds of spells stored on the pipbuck, most of which have not been invented yet. Besides long range teleportation, her only other skill is finely tuned precision telekinesis.<br /><br />Due to her magic accident pre-megaspell detonation, she has to sleep more than other ponies do to make up for her subconscious doing work during sleep. She is often seen with the two metal spheres floating close to her as well as other objects floating in close proximity. She has begun training her subconscious to perform tasks during her sleep as even though it may be annoying, she feels that she may as well use it to her advantage.
