By GreyScholar

• July 20, 2012




Age: 23

Gender: Female

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: She has lovely midnight blue mane and tail, long and wavy but not really styled as she only normally brushes it. Has a dark blue coat, moving to near black it would seem from afar and green eyes.

Cutie Mark: Green outline of an eye with a black pupil surround in light blue aura. (For her ability to see that which others do not)

Personality: Stardream wishes who she is, to learn how she has the talent she does and if her parents hold the key to this. She wants to be able to talk to others about her talent... to make friends, but ones she can trust. She has a love of reading, but mostly only those on the night sky and the stars as well as books that might help her understand her talent better. She likes those with good manners, those that are nice to others, and those that can make her laugh. Yet she doesn't like taking risks, those with unpredictable nature, those that are selfish, and don't those that don't think things through.

Backstory: Named by the parents Stardream would never know she had to spend her earliest years at an orphanage, but was taken in by what would seem a crabby high class old mare by the name of Sourbloom. It actually confused some why an earth pony would want to adopt a pegasus but old mare was insistent. It wasn't until she was older that she understood why she even was adopted, though at least Sourbloom played with her bit, bought things for her, and paid attention to her... they did manage to become friends somehow. It would seem it didn't take much for the old mare to start complaining, and it didn't help that Stardream wings and her learning to use them right broke things but it would seem most of the time Sourbloom complained about her family who never visited and only seem to want her money.<br />It was when Stardream was a young filly she that she got her cutie mark. Having always had an interest in the night sky, feeling a comfort being under them and even thinking sometimes they could hear and understand her. She talked to the stars, considering them friends, and wish time and again that they would talk back to her. At time she thought they did, at times even hearing what would seem warnings that have protected her from danger. Once listening to the stars had saved the live of her guardian, which is how she gained her cutie mark. (Sourbloom had a small heart attack, the stars prompted Stardream to look for Sourbloom as soon as it started. Because of this medical staff was able to get to her in time to stabilize her, thus saving the old mare's life).<br />When Stardream got older, a older filly, Sourbloom started to show her age. Her health low, the old mare stayed in her bed and was watch over by nurses she had hired to watch over her condition at all times . One day Sourbloom call Stardream in, telling her something the old bat had never said before... that she loved her, that if it wasn't for her Sourbloom wouldn't have known what to do. She explained then why she had adopted her, not just because she was a lonely old mare but because she wanted someone to pass on what she had gained in her long life. When Stardream ask about Sourbloom's other relative she only laughed, saying they would just waste what she would leave behind justifying herself by saying they never cared about her. The two talk a bit more and share a tender moment, before being hurried out by the nurse on duty who told her Sourbloom needed rest.<br />So it was, Stardream lost the only family she had but gained more then the memories she had of the old mare. When the relatives found out that Sourbloom had stated in her will that everything would go to Stardream, they were not pleased to say the least. Yet the old bat had been smart and made sure control of the property was safe in the hooves of a friend until Stardream could legality own it, her final act being a a 'take that' to the family that only wanted her money. Yet Stardream didn't keep most of it anyway, having most of it given away to help build an planetarium in Canterlot. When old enough, and her schooling that her guardian had started to her was finished, Stardream left her home under the care of the servants... deciding to set off to find her place in Equestria.<br />Gaining a position as an apprentice to an older stallion named Star Gazer, a unicorn astrologer that studies the movements of the stars and other astral bodies and sends reports to Canterlot. Though it took some time to convince him to train her, partly because of how old she was and partly because he preferred to do his job alone. Yet it didn't take long for Stardream to show her knowledge of the stars and she did impress him... yet it was discovering her Talent that he said yes. You see by this point Stardream had a fair idea how her Talent worked, it becoming of use in her life. Yet she still kept most ponies from knowing about it, as who would believe that a pegasus could see the future. That she could speak with the stars and once in a while have a strange dreams, dreams that oddly connect to herself and others around her. It was an odd gift to say the least, especially for a pegasus, as normally one could only use spells to divine such things. This is what got Star Gazer to say yes, it fascinated him that this was her talent. This surprised Stardream, thankful even as it was rare for those few she told to believe her so quickly. So with that she traveled with Star Gazer and learned how to be a astrologer herself.<br />One night Stardream dreamt of the Sun and Moon circling each other, of ponies made of light and darkness coming together in conflict. She saw ponies turning away from each other and either taking on the light of the Sun or the darkness of the Moon. Stardream feel pain, fear, and uncertainty as she looked around and tried to figure out what to do. A stallion moved from the light, taking on the appearance of darkness and move to the Moon's side before then returning to the Sun and taking on her glow. The stallion noticed her and walked over, offering his hoof. Stardream, not sure what do to... did so, taking on the Sun's light yet as she did the stars spoke out. They warned her of danger, that this stallion would only bring her harm... yet she didn't listen.<br />This dream haunted her when she woke, fear causing her to shiver as she wondered what the dream met. It did not take long to understand that the dream spoke of the Solar Empire and Lunar Republic, her mentor told her to leave the two groups alone. He felt it was wrong for ponies to fight, for the sisters to be in conflict. For a time Stardream did stay out of it, the stars telling her the same.... yet that was before she met a charming stallion. She was told his name was Mythos, and she was drawn in by his smile. He introduced her to the Solar Empire, spoke to her of it's purpose. He did not want war, many in the Solar Empire did not, and so they fought to prevent a war. Because of him, despite warnings from her mentor and the stars, she joined the conflict.<br />With of help of Mythos and others Stardream begin to rise in the ranks, her advice and ability to see the future because of her connection to the stars helping the Solar Empire greatly. Yet as she did, the closeness she had gained with Mythos started to fade. Disagreement and even conflict coming between them as the stallion begin to lose himself in his missions, getting more and more. Stardream didn't like that he could becoming another pony so easily, of how he was so selfishly using others to get the information needed from the Lunar Republic. Finally Stardream just avoided Mythos, deciding that it was better just to stick with her own branch. Stardream, eased her own pain by helping those of her branch, finally gaining what many called the highest advisory rank of First Sergeant. Yet she was not happy, the stars speaking of what was to come...
