Age: 25

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Red and white mane.<br />Grey body.<br />Dark purple tail.<br />Green eyes.

Cutie Mark: Dark Star<br />Represents her talent with dark magic.

Personality: Primarily, she is focused, and will not let anypony or anything sway her intentions. Because of this, she is also stubborn. To the point where she usually won't accept help from anypony.<br /><br />She has a soft, sensitive side. But will only show that side of herself to those she cares about. And because she hardly has anyone to care about in the world, she usually sticks with her stubborn attitude.<br /><br />She is also a bit sadistic, even enjoying the taste of blood. Also, enjoys many different types of ways to dish out torture. So much so, that she's read books on it.<br /><br />She's just an average mare that cares about sticking to a job, and seeing it through to the end. However, if she has somepony she cares about, she'll immediately drop whatever she's doing to help them out no matter what.

Backstory: VI was born in Canterlot, and wanted to study dark magic ever since she knew how to have basic control. But her parents didn't like the idea of her practicing dark magic, so they sent her to school in Canterlot to study fire magic (her family's specialty). <br /><br />However, she faked her interests in flame magic and practiced dark magic in secret with the help of many books and years of practice she managed to get from unknown sources.<br /><br />Little to VI's knowledge, her parents were notorious war criminals, who used flame magic to get what they wanted. And they became very wealthy due to their fiendish operations.<br /><br /><br />She earned her cutie mark when used her dark magic in combination with her flame magic to keep herself alive when her family's house was raided. The reason they were raided, was because they were finally caught in their war crimes, and arrested by Canterlot Guards. <br /><br />Because she was undetected when her family was raided, she wasn't taken away either, nor put into the care of anypony else. From there, she was forced to take her knowledge of magic out into Equestria on her own at the age of 9, and has barely survived from stealing food.<br /><br />Since she felt her parents didn't care about her, she moved on, and began to roam Equestria. She found an open position for a magic user in a mercenary team called the P.O.Ws (Ponies of War), and since has been working for them since she was 12. She made a lot of bits using her skills with this team. From killing high bounty ponies, to torturing innocent ones. She felt like the money made her felt good, but she started to feel more an more guilty with each operation she carried out with that team.<br /><br />But as the more she did these missions, the guiltier she felt. She never truly understood what it meant to be hurt until she started hurting others. And because of that, guilt started to pile up on her shoulders, the longer she stayed on the team. Unfortunately, she had no other option due to the fact she couldn't find a job anywhere else, and that using her magic for the purpose of a merc, was the only major skills she possessed.<br /><br />Along with that feeling of guilt, VI now lives by being a one mare mercenary, and has only one priority: Survive. As she travels Equestria, completing her jobs for her employers, she has many risks that<br /><br />However, she may find something else instead.....
