Age: 14

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Cutie Mark: As Blue Skies, her cutie mark was a beautiful expanse of clouds, sky, and the sun. Now, as Troubled Soul, her cutie mark has been transformed into a grey sky, with a rainy cloud and the moon glowing under fog.

Personality: In her younger years as Blue Skies, she was a playful and rambunctious cutie who could always make any of her family laugh. After her transformation into Troubled Soul, she became worried, quick to despair, and constantly fearful that Turmoil will catch up to her again.

Backstory: When Troubled Soul was young, she was named Blue Skies. When Blue Skies was 12 years old, the plantation her family owned was raided and sacked during the night. Blue Skies awoke that night to find herself scooped into the arms of her butler, who ran her out of the massacre. Her parents followed them, but as they reached the outer gates of their home, the then-assassin Shadow Footsteps quickly dispatched Blue Skies' parents right before her eyes. The experience was so traumatizing for her that she entered a coma and stayed in that state for a full year. Through all that time, Blue Skies dealt with the agony that her soul was feeling over the loss of her parents and everything she loved. The sheer amount of utter anguish was simply too much for her one body to hold, so she literally split into two ponies: herself and Turmoil. When she awoke, everything about her was the same, except for one thing: she was okay. Her grief was gone. It was residing in another pony, curled up in the bed next to Blue Skies'.<br />However, Blue Skies soon learned that Turmoil would awake whenever she was asleep, and wreak havoc on everything she loved.<br />So she ran far away, adopting the persona of Troubled Soul, to where she hoped Turmoil could not follow. But everypony has to sleep sometime...
