Personality: Terra is a Knight to the core. Valuing honor and duty above all he has the tenacity that other ponies would be jealous of. Even when in love he will still act like a "Knight in Shining Armor" for his pair. He is always punctual, and values his friends greatly.

Backstory: Terra's father was a Pegasus/batpony knight in Luna's royal guard, his name was "Midnight Shield". His mother was an Earth Pony working in Celestia's guard, her name was "Armored Blaze". <br /><br /> Wanting to someday become a knight just like his parents Terra trained everyday after school. However due to a terrible accident his dreams were temporarily crushed. He slammed against a wall with greater force than normal resulting in many broken bones.<br /><br /> It was at that time that he discovered the unending determination he had within him. Ignoring all voices of reason, and pessimism he did not give up his dream of becoming a knight. Luckily he found someone who was willing to support him in his attempts... his uncle Solid Gear. In exchange for his work, his uncle who was an engineer offered to pay for the materials needed to make an armor fit for a royal guard with the only rule that he would make it himself. <br /><br />While Solid Gear supported his dream of becoming a knight, he also wanted to support his general education so together with his parents he offered to pay for his studies. <br /><br /> Studying however was not foreign to Terra. Past the things he learned at school, he studied all by himself about the great Generals and Knights of Equestria. He dreamed each day of the greatness of the future and hoped to one day become leader of the royal guard. <br /><br /> During the night he worked the anvil at his uncle's engineering shop, and the day he exercised enhancing his strength by each passing day.<br /><br /> Now he spends his days practicing and working at his uncle's engineering shop, until he finds the great opportunity he needs to prove himself worthy of joining the Royal Guard.<br /><br />Terra recently acquired a phoenix... Fenix.<br /><br />He was returning from a delivery for his uncle and he happened to be crossing a forest near Baltimare. There he encountered a ruined nest under which lay a phoenix egg. Inspecting the nest Terra realized that the phoenix's parents were possibly hunted and killed by larger dragons. Dragons love phoenix eggs and hunt them as trophies or for their spicy taste, they consider them a delicacy...<br /><br />Knowing that Terra could not leave the egg on it's own. With the help of his friend the unicorn known as Selune Darkeye Terra managed to raise the phoenix hatchling properly. The newly hatched phoenix looked at Terra and seeing the colors of his mane the little one saw in them the colors of a phoenix... therefore imprinting over time to Terra and viewing him as a father.<br /><br />Fenix is extremely loyal to Terra, although growing he understood that he is not his father. When he hears he master whistling he swoops down launching his fiery feathers against his enemies, blinding them with his brilliance, or irritating them by pecking their weak spots. So long as his ashes do not get scattered Fenix will live as long as he feels the spirit of his master lives. He will help his allies and strike his enemies.
