By Octavia's Bow

• September 29, 2012

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Lyth is a black mare of slim physic, with a dark purple, flowing mane, streaked with some silver. She usually wheres a dark cloak with a cresant moon on it's back, the symbol of her religion, but only puts the hood up in times of distress, or when she is attempting secret business for the princess. Her eyes are usually a midnight blue, and will glow when she casts, as they are the focal point of her magic.<br /><br /><br />~Edit~ For RP'S in the Bloodbath timeline, a blessing changed her eyes to silver.

Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is a cresant moon with stars surrounding it, symbolising her faith and religious veiws.

Personality: She can be a bit... eccentric at times, and because of this, has developed a quiet tendency. However, she is a very avid zealot of her religion as far as priestesses go, she is the most faithful. She knows her religion very well, and has been blessed by the occasional visit from Luna. Unlike some ponies, she actually gets a prayer request answered every now and then.

Backstory: Lyth was always a bit of an outcast. She was small for an earth pony, and without a cutie mark, she was an easy target for bullies. Durring a Nightmare Night celebration, said bullies trapped her, beat her, and took her candy. Sulking through the woods, she met Princess Luna for the first time. She showed real understanding, and compassion towards her. Luna offered her a place in Canterlot, and Lyth delightfully accepted. There, she was taught the Lunar religion, and have been an avid follower ever since.
