Silent Night

Age: Young Adult

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Her spiky tail and especially mane are much longer and more flowing than shown in the picture; her mane reaches to her knees when it isn't thrown over her back. She is almost never seen without her cloak on, which has a very similar appearance to the one that Rainbow Dash wore in Read It And Weep and leaves her face somewhat in shadow.

Cutie Mark: Cutie mark is a keyhole with a starry night sky in the opening, representing her nocturnal nature and her skills as an escape artist. She makes use of her magic for a variety of these functions, and would be a very useful pony to have by your side if you need a lock picked or a seal undone.

Personality: Silent Night's name is a fitting but cruel; she has no voice.<br /><br />Silent Night has made it her mission to save lives of other ponies and use her skills at stealth to help others, earning her the nickname of "The Silent Knight". She has traveled far and wide; once, she was mistaken for a local hero in one small town by the name of "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" thanks to her silence and tendency to disappear into the shadows, a mystery to all. Even herself.<br /><br />Silent Night doesn't really know who she is; she sees herself as the Silent Knight, just as everyone else does. She's always sitting on the sidelines, wordless, and is thoroughly detached from her own life and sometimes displays a worrying lack of caring on the individual level despite her great kindness and benevolence on a universal scale.

Backstory: Was not born in Equestria. Her family was high class and old money, and expected to groom their daughter into being a politician until it turned out that she was mute. Feeling like she was treated as less than a person and a failure at all skills she tried, she ran away from home after eavesdropping on her parents arguing intensely about her one night, which also earned her her cutie mark. Her mother and father went looking for Silent Night, but never found her. She avoids thinking about it.
