Character Discussion: Historical Figures · 11:21pm Apr 7th, 2018
Greetings, everyone!
Continuing with the character discussion series, I'd like to feature some figures from the past. Without further ado, here they are!
Dashing Hoof
Image by Will-Owl-the-Wisp
Age (in human years): 35 in Flight
Cutie Mark: Undecided; something to do with exploration
Personality: Dashing had a thirst for adventure, and was eager to make new discoveries and to see new sights. If the tale is to be believed, he was the one to discover the stones that became Equestria's stars. He also had a strong sense of honor — once he became somepony's ally or friend, he would not fail them. He was extremely loyal to the bat ponies when they came under his care, and to the Princesses. Princess Luna even considered him a personal friend.
Onyx
(See the cover above; she's the pony in the lower right corner)
Age: 28 in Flight
Cutie Mark: A sword crossed with a shield
Personality: Onyx was a fierce warrior with a strong heart. She helped to lead the bat ponies to safety as they escaped from the Crystal Empire and before they were found by Dashing Hoof. She would take charge when others needed her, but she was not afraid to show her concern for others or to mourn those who were lost. She became a member of Princess Luna's guard when Luna saw her bravery, determination, and loyalty. She loved Princess Luna, and remained loyal to her even after her transformation into Nightmare Moon, hopeful that she would one day return. Princess Luna even considered her a personal friend.
Obsidian
(No image)
Age: 56 in Flight
Cutie Mark: Undecided
Personality: Obsidian was protective and stubborn, and, after everything with Sombra, not quick to trust. However, he loved his daughter, and became a leader of the bat ponies with her out of necessity. Obsidian had a good head on his shoulders, but could be easily riled and would act before thinking. Even still, he became a member of Princess Luna's guard when Luna saw his bravery, loyalty, and spirit. He loved Princess Luna, and remained loyal to her even after her transformation into Nightmare Moon, hopeful that she would one day return. Princess Luna even considered him a personal friend.
If you have any questions about these three, then please ask away! I'd love to answer any questions you have, or to see any comments you leave.
All great characters my friend!

I do! So far of the ones I remember, I have three "main" foals, Zip, Bluebell, and Sparkling Gem. They all are from Lyric's home village, and they will be featured in their own character discussion blog at some point!
I also have Summer, who was a character in Guardian Halo. She was one of the ponies Lyric told the tale of Halo to. She and her grandmother might get a blog at some point in the future as well.
There have also been some unnamed foals, like the colt who helped Lyric in Music of the Heart, and the two colts in From Finner.

Haha, it's alright! They don't get talked about as much as some of my other characters.
