Age: mane 6 age

Gender: Female

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: StormJumper is a light-brown Pegasus with a white mane and tan hooves/muzzle. Her eyes are maroon

Cutie Mark: A tornado with something small encircling it--it symbolizes StormJumper's talent for taming storms and holding them at bay. She got her cutie mark late in life, much to the amusement of other kids. However, once she earned it, she was proud to represent it and didn't feel any resentment towards those who called her a blank flank. She feels empowered by her talent.

Personality: Having met Princess Luna many times in dreams, she greatly looks up to her. It was the Princess who taught her the value of kindness, even if one was not treated kindly in their past...which is the case for Storm.<br />She was made fun of by others from a young age and, because of that, put up emotional walls and developed a hair-trigger temper. It was at this point in her life when the princess began visiting her in her dreams, realizing that Storm was emotionally hurt and naturally kind. She convinced Storm that breaking down her emotional walls would lead her to happiness and love.<br />And it did.<br /><br />So, more recently, Storm is a kindhearted pony who is more than willing to stand up for those who are hurt. She is energetic and bombastic, and she puts her own needs aside for the greater good. She likes exploring wild fantasies in her imagination, which is why she gets along so well with her storytelling friend, Amber Dust.<br />Sometimes she comes on a little strong, just out of the sheer force of her happiness. She has a very special place in her heart for Plum Pudding (see backstory), and would do anything for her.<br /><br />She never told her friends about meeting Luna in her dreams.

Backstory: Get ready. We've got a cliché here.<br /><br />StormJumper was, unfortunately, abandoned as a baby. her so-called-parents weren't happy with their child, and didn't want one to begin with...although Storm doesn't know that. Her peers tried to convince her that she was abandoned because of her unusual coat, and her broken wings (they were broken when she was young, but of course they healed up eventually.) Because of this, Storm felt a resentment for her parents and adults in general for a good part of her childhood.<br />Storm was bullied by a certain pony in foster care, and she took it very personally, putting up emotional walls and using her temper as a defence to stop ponies from approaching her. This is when Princess Luna started visiting her dreams and warning her about what her temper might do for her future.<br />It wasn't until Storm saw another pony (Plum Pudding) being pushed around by the same bully that she acknowledged the princess's words and realized that the bullies' insults didn't mean anything. She stood up for Plum Pudding, putting her intimidating temper to good use, and the two quickly became friends. It was all good from then on. She no longer let bullies bother her, and she let her kind nature out, no longer afraid of being hurt or taken advantage of. She still gets mad and defensive if ponies made fun of her friends, though. Old habits die hard, after all.<br />Soon, another great friend entered her life, by the name of Amber Dust. Storm loved Amber's family, and she really wished Amber's parent would just adopt her already--but that never happened. She still spent a lot of time at Amber's house, and Amber was an expert at cheering Storm up when she began feeling sad or pressured. Amber was like a beacon of hope.<br /><br />Currently, Storm is living in Cloudsdale (maybe) and working on weather patrol. Her specialty is storms, so she's sent wherever there may be one, meaning she moves around a lot. She's found herself near ponyville recently, the home of her two childhood friends. <br /><br /><br />Maybe they'll rejoin forces and become closer than ever! The power of friendship is a strong one, after all.
