White Rose

By That One Techpriest You Used To Know

• January 31, 2013

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: White Rose is a rather small mare that appears just out of fillyhood. She has a scar across her chest, a pink mane and tail that she wears rather short, and blue eyes. She wears an ushanka- a hat originating from Stalliongrad- and, on occasion, a large white cloak.<br /><br />Her friendly chaos spirit, Ixkom, takes the form of a ghostly red Draconequus when he is forced into combat, but otherwise remains inside of White Rose.

Cutie Mark: White's cutie mark is a pair of pointed, pink stars in front of a small white star, symbolizing her skill at light magic.<br />Ixkom is a chaos spirit and, thus, doesn't have a cutie mark.

Personality: When by herself, she is rather shy and wary of those that she does not immediately recognize as being close with, having seen many who have betrayed her heart in the past for personal gain. When she is leading an expedition, however, she becomes bold and assertive, leaving any sort of anything that could distract her from the mission out of her conversations. In combat, she strikes with power and a calculating coldness of sorts, but is loyal to a fault towards those that she trusts.<br /><br />Her spirit, Ixkom, is quite the tricky fellow, loving to lead others astray with his words and actions. He has limited power when concealed inside of White, but loves to take advantage of other's bewilderment and confusion.

Backstory: White Rose was born in Ponyville, to a mare and a stallion who, albiet sensing something wrong with the child, loved her immensely and tried to do what was best for her. However, at the age of 13, her parent's dread manifested itself in a case of Whitehooves syndrome- the part of her brain that controlled her magic would falter and, eventually, fail, causing her to randomly cast spells of great power. Eventually, it got to the point where these energy bursts would have to stop, and, thus, it became almost neccesary for the doctor to schedule an operation to remove the part of her brain which channelled her magical energy. Fearing that she would be shunned even more as a cripple, she ran.<br /><br />In the Everfree was when she ran across four ponies, grouped together by the moonlight. After being given away by a spark of magic from her horn, she was quickly surrounded, and the problem was realized almost immediately. The first entity introduced itself as Agririon, and was quick to ensure her that he meant her no harm. After hearing the full story from the mare, the foursome decided it would be best if they would take the child in as themselves. After some tests, they realized what had caused the problem was the incorrect lodging of a spirit who, in a rush to escape detection, had leaped into the body of the poor young mare. Agreeing that she could not return home, she was taken in as an apprentice by the leader and, after extensive training, started joining them in their mission to hunt down the evillest demons in the land and return them to their prison, Tartarus. After the untimely demise of their leader, she found herself the sole remaining pony that was eligible for the position, and, thus, at an early age, became the leader of these demon hunters.<br /><br />Lately, she has been growing rather attached to the pony known as Raze, but she would not show it. It was unwise, she councilled herself, but she has slowly been falling in love with him, despite her reasonings to the contrary.
