Jaded Dawn is a Pegasus who was raised amongst the hustle and bustle of the large northern city of Trotsdale. He is seventeen years old, and has recently graduated high school. Coming up is his eighteenth birthday. He is going to be working until then, and slightly after to earn some bits for what he plans next. He is moving to a small town near Canterlot. The town is, of course, none other than Ponyville! The first pony he meets is a timid yellow Pegasus, but after initially startling her, they get along well. Jaded soon learns just how much he hates doors, especially when they are being opened by a small dragon.
