Age: 22

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Medium grey pony with a straight, light blue and lavender mane and tail. Light blue eyes and a dash of freckles on her nose.<br /><br />(or, see image)

Cutie Mark: A white spiral with four small stars; a simplified galaxy. Comes from her fascination with stars and their movements in the sky. She is a gifted stargazer, especially good at finding and identifying celestial bodies.

Personality: Bookish but friendly. She tends to get overexcited when talking about space, science, or general academia, and gets embarrassed when she realizes no one else knows what she's talking about. Eager to make new friends but not entirely sure how. Kind, loves answering questions and solving problems for others. Superstitious; strong belief in astrology and its supposed effects.

Backstory: Born and raised on an Earth Pony farm just outside of Ponyville. At a young age became fascinated by the stars and read every book she could about them. Took her family out one evening and showed them all the constellations and the stories behind them -- that's when she got her cutie mark as an astronomer.<br />Has long dreamed of visiting Canterlot to study more about the night sky. Particularly interested in Unicorn and Pegasus myths and their takes on astrology. Unfortunately she has not yet found the means or opportunity to go.<br />Occasionally stops in to the schoolhouse to teach young ponies about space. Makes her living writing Horoscopes for the Ponyville times (and tries so hard to be serious about them).
