Type: Pegasus
Cutie Mark:

---

Personality:

Night Shade is a rather shy pony at first, she's always afraid that ponies will dislike her for her family when she meets someone new, but when she gets to know someone and gets over that initial fear she is a very kind and confident pony.

She's graceful when moving and flying, and will even make a stumble look elegant. Her cutie mark allows her to fly higher than any other Pegasus would dare without struggle, although she hasn't managed to touch a star since she was young.

Night Shade does have a problem with anger. It's hard to anger her, but when you do, she won't let it go. She'll threaten violence although most of the time won't follow through. She may, however, try to put a hex on you. She has the advantage of herbalism and spells on her side. The times when she does get violent, she won't give up. She's not the strongest of ponies but she can take a lot before she would even think of backing down.

Night Shade gets upset quite easily when it comes to insults aimed at her and her family. If someone insults a friend, she will get angry, if someone insults her, she's more likely to run away and cry. Despite her confidence around her friends, her self-esteem is quite low and it doesn't take much to upset her.

Appearance:

Night Shade is a young adult pony, her coat is pure black and her mane, a shocking electric blue. Her wings are also pure black. Her eyes are a cool blue, similar to her mane. Her Cutie mark is a slightly paler blue, and is of two moons back to back, with two stars in their centre. One moon and star is slightly smaller than the other.

History:

Night Shade's early life was not like anypony. She was born into a loving family, yes, but her family were outcasts. The Ponies of Night Shade's family all preferred the night time, rarely venturing out into the day. They were herbalists, and the best herbs were only found at night. They relied on these herbs to create all kinds of concoctions, spells, some would call them, but these were much different to a Unicorn's magic. These spells could cure ponies, kill ponies, wake ponies, put ponies to sleep, and even, predict a pony's future.

Night Shade's family weren't feared by everypony, but they were avoided. No one knew that all that went into these spells were simple herbs, and they just didn't understand the family's love for the night time over the sun. Night Shade's parents didn't mind at all, they still smiled, they still greeted anypony with a friendly hello, no matter what the reply or reaction.

For Night Shade though, it was a lonely time. Only being out at night meant that she had no friends, most fillies were in bed long before nightfall, and she didn't dare venture out in the day, scared that she would not only hurt her parents, but that the other Ponies wouldn't accept her. Little Night Shade was stuck in a dilema, so much so, that one night when her parents were out finding herbs, she decided to run away, start a new life somewhere else.

So out she snuck, making sure her parents were no where in sight, and when she was finally out in the night air, she spread her wings and she flew. She didn't fly left or right, however, she flew up, and she kept flying up. No one knows what possessed her to keep going up that night, even Night Shade herself can't remember, but she does remember that it felt right.

Up she went, on her tiny Filly wings, no pony her size should ever be able to fly that high, yet there she was, proving everypony wrong. She never stopped, flying up and up, until she could reach the stars. She was so high now, and the air was incredibly thin. As she reached out for the nearest star, oh so close to touching it, she lost conciousness, her wings falling limp and her small body tumbling down to the Earth below.

Luckily for little Night Shade, one young Pegasus living on Cloudsdale couldn't sleep that night, and as he sat on a cloud, watching the sky, he saw little Night Shade falling, and quickly chased after her, snatching her out of the sky and returning her safely to the ground.

When Night Shade came to, she could remember very little of her adventure, but out of it, she had gained a friend in her saviour, and a Cutie Mark too! "You must have touched a star!" Said the young Stallion when the both discovered her Cutie Mark, and that started a long friendship.

The Stallion was much older than young Night Shade, however, and soon he became too old to spend his time with the young mare, adult life taking over. Night Shade didn't mind much though, as his friendship had given her the confidence to step out into the day and make new friends. She was a lonely pony no more.
