A Breezie (not 'breezy' (that's an adjective (not a noun (so it can't be a name)))) is an adorable little being from another world.
They're size usually ranges from Butterfly small to Squirrel large. So as you can imagine, they're pretty tiny.
The body of a Breezie is very similar to that of a pony, however, its legs are sometimes longer.
Its head is also quite like ours', but its nuzzle sticks out less and its mane is far more frizzy. Oh, and it has two gigantic antennae sticking out of its hair.
On their own, Breezies are generally quite bad flyers; or they are in our world at least.
Where they come from, the breeze is always quite delicate, compared to ours, which can push them to just about anywhere.
Unfortunately, Breezies cannot travel through our world of their own accord. They need a sufficient amount of wind (around 0.5 wingpower) to float gently and safely use their magic.
The 'magic' that Shiera is talking about is of course the magic they use to keep the pollen they carry safe. I'm not entirely sure why that's important, but whatever.
As you can probably tell, Breezies are very delicate. They're incredibly sensitive to light and sound and even the slightest distraction can send them off course. Hence, why Strongbolt wasn't allowed near the Breezie migration.
I am not LOUD or DISTRACTING!
Yeah, and you're not BRIGHT either.
Wow. That was...
*Giggles*
That was a terrible joke.
You really walked into that one.
*Sigh*
So. Breezie wings, although large, are very thin and fragile. Breezies just didn't evolve to be able to use their wings like us Pegasi... or any flying creature for that matter.
They're only accustomed to conditions in their world, where the breeze is much less potent.
It is for that reason that they rarely make appearances in our dimension.
I've only ever seen Breezies once, when I was just a filly. I saw them floating through the streets of Canterlot during one of their migrations. Have you ever seen any?
I've never seen one, but I've smelt one.
You've... you've what?
They're a lot like cherries, but with a hint of rosemary.
I'm not even going to ask.
