• February 8, 2015




Age: 18

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Tyra is rather short for her age, two or three inches smaller than a regular pony. Her coat is pale blue, and is rather thick and scruffy. The coat on her legs appears like feathering around her hooves. Her mane and tail are ginger, and styled in single braided ponytails. Dark freckles pepper her face.<br /><br />She often wears a brown leather tunic, underneath a leather harness which holds her axe. She wears a helmet that covers just her cranium, that sports a pair of small wings.

Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is a double-edged axe covered in nicks and notches, symbolising her talent, and love, for fighting

Personality: Tyra is incredibly friendly and boisterous, with a sense of justice. If she sees anyone in need of help, she will happily lend a hoof. She loves having a good time, and will happily accompany anyone to a feast, or a fight. Both at once would be nice.<br /><br />That said, she is also incredibly competitive, accepting any challenge presented to her, jokingly or not. Underestimating her for her size also results in this.<br />She also has a bit of a short temper, and will take up her axe as her first answer to a problem.<br /><br />She also has little sense of personal space, always ready to embrace a companion in a celebratory hug, and has no indoor voice.

Backstory: Tyra was born and raised in the village of Trotstheim, hidden somewhere in the waters of the Frozen North. Her parents, Ralof and Valhalla, are the leaders of the tribe of warrior ponies. Her older brother, Argus, is next in line to become Chief.<br /><br />Her foalhood was a balanced mix of playing in the snow, exploring the wilderness, training with weapons and being basically a small screaming ball of energy.<br /><br />When she was around nine or ten years old, she was finally allowed to join in an attack against a rival clan in the North, and brought back a cutie mark and her trademark helmet as trophies.<br /><br />She has since ventured out into the world, as a travelling warrior for hire. Who knows where in the world she'll end up.<br /><br />Her Shatterhoof clan blood means she has an incredibly high pain threshold, and can take a serious beating before she goes down. She also possesses phenomenal physical strength, comparable to that of a minotaur.<br />Though, this incredible strength comes with the cost of being unnaturally weak to magic.
