Ever since WinterLily was born, she was naturally born with what her mother called, the worst thing in Equestria , she was born blind and mute making herself invisible to the world, unable to communicate. Luckily still having her hearing was an advantage because she learned more quickly but also at the same time making her frightened easily and less aware of her surroundings. 

Her mother, a frosty looking mare with a white coat and blue, icy mane, asked WinterLily's cousin, RainbowDash to be her aid. WinterLily is an only child who lives with her Mother and RainbowDash because her father died before her birth, her mother told her he was celestia's royal guard, and he died in war against the changelings that invaded canterlot. WinterLily thought he must've been very brave, fighting an army of changelings to protect them, but she also thought she was brave, she had made it this far without frustration of not seeing or not speaking. 

She had tried so hard to scream in hopes and having a voice but it never worked. Her mother brought her to doctors in hope of a cure, when that didn't work she tried the princesses, they said that there was no cure not even magic could work, unless effecting her otherwise or even worse, death. 
WinterLily always pondered what she, her mom, RainbowDash, the princesses and everypony else looked like. What everything looked like it would have been amazing to have sight, then again it would be amazing to be a normal pony too.

WinterLily memorized their cloudsdale house perfectly. When you came through the door, if you turned left there would be a large dining room with a small table, with a bunch of papers with stray crayon marks scattered on the floor. If you walked straight forward, there would be a cozy kitchen with a countertop in the middle of the room, chairs surrounding it and a baking station with flour and dough covering the wooden top. 

Next to that room was the somewhat large living room. It had a three cushioned couch next to one of the walls with a bookshelf in the corner and pillows strewn about. The staircase upstairs was in the living room. Upstairs  was a small hall way with doors here and there. 
The first room you saw when you went upstairs was the bedroom WinterLily and Rainbow shared. Inside was a bunk bed to the left that had light pink curtains hanging from the top mattress hanging down to the second one put randomly around the bed were small white christmas lights that stayed up there for a whole year without needing battery replacement. The blankets were pink like the curtains and the pillows were white along with a small bedside table that was a white wood. 

On the other half of the room there was a wooden bed with electric blue pillows and blankets with rainbows cutie mark on it. A wooden bedside table was next to it with a lava lamp on top on it and Wonderbolts posters hanging on the walls.this was obviously Rainbow's side. Winter hated sleeping near RainbowDash. She constantly snored loudly and when rainbow was asleep she would beg Celestia to trade her blindness and mute out for deafness or just think of bad things to think about it.
