Gusty the Great · 10:49pm Apr 9th, 2019
From the Royal Historian of Equestria-
There have been two warriors in Equestrian history who have been confused. Gusty the Great, Megan's Companion, and Wing Gust who defended Old Cloudsdale from a Grogar-worshiping cult. Their conflation was a deliberate act of political subterfuge used to bolster a royal Pegasan clan's claim to "blood purity" while still linking themselves to a great warrior.
The idea that Gusty the Great was a Pegasus who defended Old Cloudsdale is nonsense spread by the Goldwings, the Royal Family of Old Cloudsdale who had Gusty as an ancestor and spread the propaganda that she was a Pegasus warrior rather than the Unicorn magician she actually was. When Dream Valley was incorporated into the Equestrian Empire the tales of Dream Valley were mixed with Equestrian lore (to confuse the matter the old country was in Dream Valley). That Gusty had an affinity for wind magic did not help matters. Gradually her tale became mixed with the story of Wing Gust the Pegasus warrior who fought against a Grogar worshiping cult. The original Gusty was a Unicorn, one of Megan's companions, who stole away the bell belonging to Grogar thus dispelling him into the ether.
In addition, Wing Gust was, strangely enough, a descendant of Gusty the Great who apparently found love with a Pegasus stallion whose name has been lost to history. She was a defender of Old Cloudsdale who lived to see the Great Winter that would bring Pegasopolis to a freezing end.
Gusty the Great was of a more peaceable character than her Pegasan counterpart, and like most Ponies of those long lost halcyon days, spent much of her time frolicking in the pasture lands of Dream Valley and occasionally fighting alongside Megan the Warrior of Light.
