Shady Silhouette

By Megabyte Stream

• June 28, 2013




Age: ~18

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: A faded black coat with a pale red mane that bears a set of thin black streaks, tail bearing much thicker stripes. Her eyes match her mane, if just a touch darker.

Cutie Mark: Dual question marks.

Personality: Snide and very clever, she will worm her way into the trust of anyone she deems valuable or worthwhile towards her goals. She cares very little for any pony, zebra, griffon, what have you she runs into and will use them in any way she can while feigning innocence and sincerity to gain their trust. Though uncaring, she is very loyal to those who have gained her true trust and will risk herself to make sure they stay safe, even if it means taking a blade to the heart. If asked to perform a task by one of the few with her full trust, she will make sure it is seen through to the end, making sure anyone that stands in her way won't be in her way for long.<br /><br />If questioned, she will never give off any true information and will mislead her questioner with false answers until they give up and simply let her go. Being rather thin, she can sneak into small spaces other ponies can't fit into to watch her marks undetected. As much as a blessing it is, she cannot tolerate pain or damage too well and will avoid physical battles in any way she can, opting to run away in hopes of losing her purser in the shadows. Though she is quite clever, she has a tendency to act before thinking and will often find herself stuck in a trap she built herself.

Backstory: Abandoned as a newborn, she was taken in by a family of griffons and raised as one of them. While growing up, she was taught nothing about what it meant to be a pony and was completely assimilated into the lifestyle of the griffons. Once she was old enough to realize on her own what she truly was, never questioned why she was there and simply stayed loyal to those that had raised and fed her.<br /><br />Eventually, she decided it would be best to leave and at least learn what it was like to be the pony that she was. Though, this inner conflict with herself caused her to become rather cold and hardened on the outside after trying to remove all of her lessons on life as a pseudo-griffon.
