When Dusk Settles
 
PLOT: Vampire. The word brings up images of black-caped, pale-faced, racist-stereotype-accented bloodsucker, Dracula and Nosferathoof, to name a few. However, in reality, the true vampire is completely different, in that whatever controls them, virus, insanity, or curse, knows what it’s doing.
 
The vampires that have suddenly appeared around Equestria are apex predators. We’re their food source, and they know it, so they don’t take any chances. They’ll come at you head on, risking bullet wounds and harm of all sorts if it means getting to feast on your jugular vein. Those who survive their attacks join them, adding to their ever-swelling ranks. Their incredible strength, speed, numbers, and resistance to most pain is what has made them such a threat.
 
When they first appeared, it didn't take them long to overpower our unprepared military, who is used to fighting predictable enemies, such as bandits or assassins, not their own mother, brother, daughter, or best friend covered in blood from their previous victims. 
 
Thus, it was the duty of those who survived to try and fight off this disease. We learned, over time, that vampires do, in fact, have a sense of rank. We also managed to learn something more important; their weaknesses.
 
No matter what vampire you’re talking about, at least half a minute or more of sunlight, piercing the heart, or damage to the brain is a surefire way to kill them. (Except for Nobles (explained later) that can only be killed by two minutes of sunlight or direct damage to their heart.)
 
There are your average “Feral” or “Type 1” vampires, who have reddened eyes, slightly pale skin, and an apparent inability to communicate in audible words. They’ll take almost any risk to get blood, except going through sunlight. They seem to “burn” when exposed to sunlight, characterized by a noticeable reddening of the skin and something akin to steam coming out of the exposed area. Ferals retain little to no knowledge of their past life (We cannot tell, since Ferals cannot speak.) However, certain Pegasi and Griffon Ferals have been seen flying, but not at the level of an experienced, uninfected flyer. 
 
Then, you have your rarer, and much more dangerous, “Noble” or “Type 2” vampires. They have been proven to be smarter, and much less noticeable, then Type 1s. This inconspicuousness has given them the ability to blend into groups of uninfected, which can have catastrophic results for any group. Nobles are able to speak, and retain most knowledge from their previous lives, spare for some information, which seems to vary among Nobles. They seem to have a certain amount of control over Ferals,  as they have been seen commanding Ferals in combat. One sighting even documented a Feral vampire sacrificing itself to defend its commanding Noble from a rifle shot. Nobles are able to last about 2 minutes in direct sunlight, almost 4 times the survival time of a Feral vampire. They are also impervious to any blow to the head. They may be blinded, but any damage they receive except for heart damage will heal itself once the Noble is in direct darkness. Use caution when fighting.
 
(NOTE: The reason that some infected become Ferals and some become Nobles is unknown. Theories include genes, remaining blood during infection, mental condition, and even dumb luck.)
 
As vampires slowly begin to outnumber uninfected creatures, they have found themselves starving, (It takes a vampire, of either type, about a month and a half to two months without blood to starve.) The populations of both infected and uninfected have found themselves both nearing extinction. With vampires (luckily) not developing any recorded “blood-farming” techniques (as the theory was commonly called when it was still being studied.), and with the uninfected far from united, due to a lack of supplies, both sides have found themselves at an impasse. 
 
You, whether you are a survivor trying to keep yourself and the ones you care about alive, or a Noble, trying to keep yourself fed and your condition unknown to those around you, are doing what you can to survive. Two years since the first outbreak, you have found yourself in a small settlement on some grassy islands not too far off of the eastern coast of Equestria, near Baltimare, trying to eke out an existence. Supplies are becoming rarer, and you and your allies soon realize that you’ll need to go back to the mainland if you wish to survive. However, you have no clue who or what will be there when you arrive…

[FIELD NOTES/SURVIVAL TIPS]
 
1. A third type of vampire has been rumored to appear during nights with a new moon. While their existence hasn't been proven, they're described as more monster than pony, bearing large, sharp teeth, a coat-less skin, fleshy wings, and bright red eyes (with possible bio-luminescence.) Despite the fact that they're not proven to exist, they still receive the category; "Type 3" and the nickname "Hunters"
 
2. If you have an open wound, especially one that's still bleeding, cover it and hide. Vampires are able to smell blood from very long distances, up to 13 miles away.
 
3. Fire can be an effective weapon against vampires for two reasons; one, it keeps destroyed flesh from healing, and two, it provides a source of light strong enough to kill a vampire with prolonged exposure. Be careful, though; for a vampire on fire could prove to be more troublesome than one that isn't.
 
4. Nobles are going to be some of the most dangerous vampires you encounter. If you think that somepony near you could be a Noble, don't give them a second chance if they act suspiciously.
 
5. When choosing melee weapons (which should only serve as a last resort) go for either extremely sharp slashing weapons, like knives or axes, or, even better, a stabbing weapon like a spear or a harpoon. (And for Celestia's sake, AIM FOR THE HEART.)
 
6. Travel by day, fortify by night. Stockpile whatever you can get during the daylight hours, because if vampires are banging against your doors, you're going to have a restless night. 
 
7. If you plan on staying somewhere for a while, have plenty of lights on at night, to keep hungry vampires at bay. If you don't plan on staying somewhere for a prolonged period of time, then try to conceal yourself as much as possible. Light, although effective, makes it much easier for vampires to find you.
 
8. Nobles can stay in the sunlight almost four times as long as Ferals. However, if they're wearing concealing clothing, like dark coats or thick robes, they can remain in sunlight almost indefinitely. Don't wear sunglasses to look cool, lest somepony shoot you in the back of the head.
 
9. Once somepony has been bitten, it takes about 12 hours for the virus to take effect, and is even quicker at night. (Note: Infection time can vary depending on location, severity, and number of bites.) Certain methods to prevent turning, like blood transfusions and dialysis, have been proven as some of the only ways to prevent vampirism. However, they are difficult to perform (or find the right equipment for), and are not effective 100% of the time. Bear in mind, these methods can only ever be successful if the pony they're being used on has not already been turned.
 
10. Vampires have heightened senses, especially scent and hearing. This can be helpful not only to them, but to us as well, as proven in the following two real-world scenarios;
 
1) A mare by the name of Vinyl Scratch had protected her nightclub in Ponyville, along with the survivors in it, by turning on extremely loud music, playing it at full volume, and aiming the speakers at the main entrance. By morning, at least 34 vampires were found dead. The bodies of the vampires at the night club had been examined, and it was found that their ear lobes exploded, and their brain was somehow effected, but due to our lack of neural analysis technology, how exactly their brains were effected is unknown.
 
2) Another mare, Nurse Redheart, of Ponyville, had made several traps around her fortified hospital by taking several vials of blood, breaking them open inside of cages, and when Ferals came to investigate, they were trapped in the cages until the sun came, which led to their deaths. While almost any Feral near her hospital was killed by these traps, Nobles were not so easily fooled.
 
RULES:
1. No Godmodding/Meta-gaming
2.  To enter in this RP, please post your app here, or PM it to me.
3. No Alicorns, Changelings, or Crystal Ponies.
4. Don't kill off someone else's character without their consent. Best you can do without your permission is to TRY and attack them. Don't do the following:
 
"Herpaderp brought up her sword and stabbed Senator Dingus in the back of the head."
 
Instead, do this
 
Herpaderp brought up her sword and TRIED to stab Senator Dingus in the back of the head."
 
This way, the owner of the targeted character has some choice as to the fate of their character. 
 
(Note: If your character has been able to dodge attacks for a while, please be graceful and accept a wound or two, at least.)
5. There is a minimum of how much you can post here. An acceptable post is 5 LINES LONG, AT LEAST. Exceptions include; quick responses in a conversation, or a counter to an attack. Even then, you should try to post something outside of quotations, at the very least, facial details and thoughts.
 
APPLICATION SHEET
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Picture and/or Description: (Either or both is fine)
Talent:
Short Bio: (Try to post around two paragraphs here, so I can get a look at your writing skill. What was your character's early life like? How were they affected by the vampire outbreak? How did they end up on the grassy island off the coast of Equestria?)
Is your character a Noble?: This is a yes or no question. Be warned, though, your character might have some increased strengths; but they'll have some 'special' needs, blood being one of them.
Starting Item: (Doesn't have to be a weapon, but if it is, it MUST be a melee weapon) (Other acceptable items include first aid Kits, flashlights, or books of some sort.) (A good idea would be to choose an item that fits your character.) (Clothing doesn't count as an item.)
 
Here's mine:
 
Name: Black Widow
Age: Middle-Aged Adult
Gender: Mare
Species: Unicorn
Picture and/or Description: LINK (Not my art) Her CM is a black widow spider's "hourglass" mark. Her tail is the same color as her mane, and just about as long, but is much more tame.
Talent: Dark Magic, Thrusting Weapons.
Short Bio: Black Widow had spent most of her foalhood in an orphanage, and to this day, doesn't know who her biological parents are. She was rather lonely, as she often was interested in things that most other foals would be frightened of, such as bats or spiders. Her school life was often filled with names, week-long relationships, and frequent visits to her guidance counselor. It wasn't until she graduated college that she met her true love, Fleur Cosue (Not my character), and they had eventually married and adopted a colt.
 
When the vampire outbreak struck, she had hoped to try and hide in her home for as long as possible until she and her family needed to move, but after a month and a half of hiding, a Noble and a swarm of Ferals made sure that her family would not live to escape with her. She survived, barely maintaining her sanity after being forced to hear the dying screams of the only ponies she loved. When she left her house in the morning, she had collapsed after trotting east for at least a week and a half, hiding in abandoned shacks and sewers along the way. She had been discovered by a small military squad, who nursed her back to health and brought her to the grassy islands.
 
She is a shut-in, and it is not easy to gain her trust. As a result, she knows very few ponies that inhabit the island with her.
Is your character a Noble?: No.
Starting Item: Kitchen Knife

Name: Strike

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Picture or description: http://imgur.com/t8MIeFD wears a brown dusty trench coat a same colored scarf covering his mouth and old brown pilot goggles

Species: Earth Pony

Talent: Mapping out locations.

Bio: Strike was born in Manehattan, to a middle class family his father was a cop and so was his grandfather, so Strike had some pressure on him when choosing a profession. When Strike was young he really liked to explore and living in such a big city there was something new to see, eventually he started to make maps out the places he went such as the Park and even the cemetery, that's when he got his cutie mark.
When the outbreak started Strike's dad sent him away while he fought the up coming horde. Strike never heard of his father again. When he reached the refugee camp he met a mare named Anna who also lost her parents during the outbreak. Soon they became friends.
A year has passed in the refugee camp Strike and Anna were now dating and were happy, but the happiness didn't last long as another horde came and destroyed the refugee camp. Strike and Anna were separated. But he swore he would find her.
Two months passed and no sign of her....
It was a dark and stormy night when Strike wandered into a abandoned town looking for supplies. He wandered into the church where he saw a clocked figure standing by the balcony. "Turn around slowly" Strike demanded while holding sharp wooden stake. "You shouldn't be so jumpy child.. You might hurt somepony" The figure spoke. "You talk... Then you are not infected" "Oh" The cloaked figure said with surprise. "So if it's able to talk it's not infected you know nothing child" "What do yo.. ARRRGGHH" A sharp pain and everything went black.
Strike woke up a few minutes later on his own pool of blood. With his blurry vision he could only see the cloaked pony "Wha... What did you do...?" The pony looked at him. "Hmm you retained your intelligence that saves me from having to bash your skull in." Strike tried to stand up but to no avail "What happened?" "You are now infected" Answered the pony "But.. How I can.." The cloaked pony made a gesture with his hoof. "Some are able to keep their intelligence after the infection... But the how I don't know..." He stopped for a minute before he continued. "But since you are a lucky one, you are gonna help me destroy most of these infecteds" Strike finally managed to stand up. "And why would I do that? More importantly why would you want to destroy your own kind" The pony sighted and explained "Eventually the infected population will grow so large that will outnumber the normal ponies and eventually there will be no more normal ponies," Strike stopped him "Doesn't that benefits your kind?" "No it doesn't no more ponies means no more food, we'll die as well, so to ensure our survival and the survival of most of tge other ponies we'll destroy the excessive numbers and maybe one day you can go back to whatever pitiful life you had before" Strike thought on those words."It doesn't seem I have a lot of choice, what should I do?" The cloaked pony smiled and said "You'll need to the safezone near Baltimare it you'll probably won't find any infected within the safezone but you could use as base until you get adjusted with your new condition..."

Is your character a Noble?: Yes

Name: Demetria

 

Race: Unicorn

 

Gender: Mare

 

Age: 16

 

Personality: A little snobbish, able to help but you must gain her trust first

 

Cutie Mark and meaning/talent: Pink heart with 3 dots, meaning her ability to heal

 

Appearance:


request__elegant_demetria_by_masemj-d75z

Bio: Since she was a little filly, she enjoyed magic. Some ponies think she is spoiled, bratty, and girly. But she is actually very brave. And, she doesn't mind getting her hooves dirty. She is one of the best in her Filly Scouting years and is very great in healing. When they were on their patrol for protecting animals, a pony was holding a spear, about to kill an innocent bunny. She jumped to save it and the spear hit her flank. When she healed herself, her cutie mark formed from the blood. She then resumed her duty by helping the Filly Scouts and works as a apprentice at the Ponyville Hospital.

Name: Thunder Storm
Age: 19
Gender: Stallion
Race: Pegasus
Picture and/or Description: A smaller, more streamlined pony, he has a grey coat and a black and yellow spiked mane and short tail. Cutiemark is a Storm cloud with a lightning bolt.
Talent: Good with the weather (Sorry, I didn't really know how to put this :( )
Short Bio: Thunder was born in Cloudsdale, and moved to ponyville when he was a young age, and on various visits to family in Cloudsdale he became obsessed with flying, and the weather. His parents knew they could not keep the young foal on the ground and out of the pegasi's manes for very long, so when he turned eight they sent him to the flying academy and he became a great flyer, but not the best, and took his fair share of heavy hits and bruises. While in Cloudsdale he took a couple walks with his cousins to the weather factory, ad he knew that he wanted to work with the weather when he grew up. He couldn't help it, having finally gotten out of the flight academy, Thunder was determined to learn to be a weather pony, and dedicated his every waking second to learning whatever he could about the weather.By the time he was 10 years old, he got his cutie mark, a storm cloud and a lightning bolt and he desperately wanted to see his parents, more than just once a month on their trips up to come see them. When he got back to his home in ponyville, he found his dad had died, his biggest supporter in learning to fly. His father wanted him to take his place on the weather team in ponyville when he was old enough, and when he was, he did. When the outbreak started, he had just taken his father's place on the weather team, and had just turned 17, he fled to his home as quick as he could, only to see a feral having just killed his mother, gone forever. Without hesitation he took the hat rack by the door, snapped it in half, and stabbed the Vampire several times, until he could not move his legs more. Thunder sat with his bleeding mother for what felt like hours, days, weeks. When he finally left his mother, he had set his father's favorite hat into her hooves, and flew away, just flying as far as his wings would carry him. He came to an island, and though it was the best place to land.
Is your character a Noble?: No
Starting Item: A short stick, one end fashion into a bad spear of some sort, the other a blunt end, about the length of his wingspan. (He is a relatively small pony) As well as a picture of his family, when he was a foal (I figured this was alright since it proves no real purpose, if not I can change it)

Age:16

Picture and/or Description: http://imgur.com/7yH6P1Q
Red rose cutie mark
Talent: Friendship
Short Bio: Shimmerspeed's early life was normal, went to school, made friends, got her cutie mark, was awesome at flying at an early stage in life.
The vampire outbreak was terrible and frightening for her. Her family were infected during this and her, her parents and little brother went into hiding.
One night, when the vampires were attolling the town, they had planned to leave the town and leave Equestria. On their way out, vampires started to pursue them. Shimmer's mother was a unicorn so she was caught easily. Her father, a pegasus couldn't leave without his wife, so he too was captured. Her brother was a pegasus too. However, he could not fly properly. Shimmerspeed could fly super fast though, she was agile too so she got away without a scratch.
She survived and got away.
Is your character a Noble?: No
Starting Item: A throwing knife that is made so that it acts like a boomerang.

With all due respect, I really don't think this is the RP for you. We have a 5-line per-post minimum, and with all due respect, I haven't seen much like that in other RPs you participate in... (We're also full at the moment, anyway, so you'd be waiting for a while.)

 

Get a little more experience, then come back :)

Name: Autumn Maplegust
Age: Equivalent of 17
Gender: Female
Picture and/or Description:
Spoiler
Her eyes are orange, sorry for terrible image. (I made it myself!)
Talent: Landscaping
Short Bio:  Born in a small town near Baltimare, she grew up as the youngest in a family of five children. Constantly picked on by her older siblings, she found peace outside. Autumn developed climbing skills from escaping into trees. She wasn’t very trustful of others, and made better friends with squirrels and stray cats than ponies. Around the age of ten she met a colt who shared her interests. He was her only true friend during her childhood.

 After the infection started, her friend was bitten trying to protect her. She barely escaped with her life, and lives with the guilt of having killed him after he had saved her. She hadn’t spoken to anyone at all since then except herself, and rarely went outside. (I can add on if this isn't sufficient)

Name: Lumière Sweethoof
Age: 17
Gender: Mare
Picture and/or Description: (Either or both is fine)
Spoiler

Talent: The skill her CutieMark represents is not just a skill; it is an aspect of her personality. It shows her fiery passion and her talent of joining people together in these times of fear.
Short Bio: Lumière grew up near Fillydelphia. Her parents were kind and tried to bring her up the right way. At the age of 7 the family moved to Trottingham, though soon after moved to Ponyville. They stayed there because they believed it was a suitable environment for Lumière to grow up. She made many friends there, though not many were very close. She got her CutieMark at the age of 12 at a camping trip.

After the vampire outbreak, she hid in Trottingham. She remembered it from her childhood and thought it would be a safe place. Sadly, she got bitten. Luckily she became a noble and not a dumb feral. She learnt how to use a knife shortly after the bite. She was sad to have to bite ponies for food now, though tried to make up for it by killing as many vampires as she could. She carried on to live there in peace, doing all she could to make her life as normal as possible.

Then Lumière started travelling all over Equestria. She did this to make sure that nopony could track her down. She also hoped that this would make her safer, as then she could find the safest place to stay. She had been to most places in Equestria. She then travelled to Baltimare. She found an empty warehouse and decided to stay there for a while.

I like this, except for one thing.

 

If she's in Trottingham, and the main cast is in Baltimare, it's going to be a while before she has any interaction.

 

I'd suggest adding a little to your story about her traveling to Baltimare, unless you're content with being alone in Trottingham for the time being.

((Sorry up front for the Bio and Personality. Got a little carried away.))

 

Name: Light Spectrum

 

Age: Young Mare

 

Gender: Female Pegasus

 

Description: Orange coat, yellow eyes, and rainbow colored mane. No Cutie Mark.

 

Talent: Possibly Fast/Silent Flying

 

Short Bio: Light Spectrum was created when Twilight Sparkle tried to preform a spell that would copy Rainbow Dash's natural speed to the other pegasai in Equestria. However, when the spell was performed, instead of a copy of Rainbow Dash's speed being created, a full copy of Rainbow Dash was created. Light Spectrum then spent her time living in Ponyville with Rainbow Dash, learning about the weather and becoming one of the top fliers. Eventually, she became a very close friend of Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. 

    The night the outbreak started, she was separated from Rainbow Dash and Twilight, causing her to panic and fly up and hide motionless in a cloud for 2 days, until she didn't hear any more screams. The last thing she saw before hiding in the cloud was a tall dark pony leading the vampires to battle. When she finally left her cloud and saw all of the destruction to Ponyville, Light Spectrum flew out looking for the two ponies that helped her through everything. She searched the city for days, learning several points about the vampires' abilities. However, after searching for her friends for 10 days, the thought of then surviving turned very slim and Spectrum had to leave for protection and supplies. Just as she was about to leave, she was attacked by a vampire. She fought with the vampire for a very long time, but she eventually succeeded in slamming its skull against a broken wall. Just as she turned around, the vampire took a last strike for blood and, instead of bitting her neck, bit her on the tip of her right ear and expired. Spectrum quickly reached down, grabbing the first sharp thing she found, and cut off a large crescent chunk of her ear. With that Spectrum flew over to the ramains of Twilight's tree and grabbed 2 crystal sais and her previously filled satchel. With that Spectrum flew out of Ponyville and went out swearing to find her friends and adopted the alias: Cirrus. Eventually her travels led her to a small coast off of Baltimare. She stopped there and hid in the shadows trying to glean information from listening to the other ponies conversations.

 

Personality: Cirrus A.K.A. Light Spectrum is very brave, almost to the point of being reckless. She has never stopped looking for her friends Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. She is rather tempramental and her emotions can sometimes make her go crazy. It is very hard for her to be convinced to trust somepony with only word; she must be convinced with actions. However she is a top notch flier and has been taught by Rainbow Dash for several years. She also has a strong hatred aginst Nobles believeing them to be the cause of the vampire outbreaks. She is keeping some sort of secret from everypony and it has something to do with the contents of her satchel which is never opened around other ponies. She dislikes talking about her ear, her friends, and especially her satchel. She may seem rude or uncaring at first, but with time she will open up a little and be the kind, caring pony that she is. Just, for Celestia's Sake, Don't ask about her satchel.

 

Noble: No

 

Starting Weapon: 2 Sais

I hate to say this, Helix, but I'm going to have to decline.

 

Relationships with canon characters, especially main characters, are highly frowned upon. 

 

The main problem is with Rainbow Dash training her. That is considered "Godmodding" or using powers way beyond that of a normal character. 

 

I'm not saying that her flying skills should be removed, just her relations to the main characters. Only because doing so wouldn't affect her story that badly. 

 

(Just a quick side note, you also may want to give her some sort of weakness to make up for her strengths. Maybe she's afraid of blood, or the dark. Maybe she can't run that fast, or perhaps asthma. Having a weakness for each strength is a good way to prevent Godmodding.)

Just edit that stuff, and you're free to join.

Name: Light Spectrum

 

Age: Young Mare

 

Gender: Female Pegasus

 

Description: Orange coat, yellow eyes, and rainbow colored mane. No Cutie Mark.

 

Talent: Possibly Fast/Silent Flying

 

Short Bio: Light Spectrum was a pegasus born in Ponyville to her parents. She always dreamed of becoming a top weather pony, so when she was 13 her parents let her go to the Wonderbolts academy. In the academy, Light Spectrum met her best friend Nimbus Wave, A blue mare with a yellow mane. However Spectrum was picked on because she did not have a cutie mark. She eventually resigned and left to go back to Ponyville to live with her parents. Later, her friend Nimbus quit the academy, so she could help Spectrum get a job. Spectrum eventually left her parents house and got a double house so she and Nimbus could stay together. Spectrum's parents would always bring back trinkets from their travels for Nimbus and Spectrum.

    The night the outbreak started, she was separated from Nimbus, causing her to panic and fly up and hide motionless in a cloud for 2 days, until she didn't hear any more screams. The last thing she saw before hiding in the cloud was a tall dark pony leading the vampires to battle. When she finally left her cloud, Light Spectrum flew out looking for the ponies that helped her through everything. She searched the city for days, learning several points about the vampires' abilities. When Spectrum looked for her parents house, she found her parents mangled and dead in the bedroom. Spectrum stayed at the house staring at her parents bodies for 5 hours before she continued her search. However, after searching for her friend for 10 days, the thought of her surviving turned very slim and Spectrum had to leave for protection and supplies. Just as she was about to leave, she was attacked by a vampire. She fought with the vampire for a very long time, but she eventually succeeded in slamming its skull against a broken wall. Just as she turned around, the vampire took a last strike for blood and, instead of bitting her neck, bit her on the tip of her right ear and expired. Spectrum quickly reached down, grabbing the first sharp thing she found, and cut off a large crescent chunk of her ear. With that Spectrum flew over to the remains of her and Nimbus's cloud and grabbed the 2 crystal sais her parents had brought from their trip to the crystal empire and her previously filled satchel. With that Spectrum flew out of Ponyville and went out swearing to find her friend and adopted the alias: Cirrus. Eventually her travels led her to a small coast off of Baltimare. She stopped there and hid in the shadows trying to glean information from listening to the other ponies conversations.

 

Personality: Cirrus A.K.A. Light Spectrum is very brave, almost to the point of being reckless. She has never stopped looking for her friend Nimbus Wave. She is rather tempramental and her emotions can sometimes make her go crazy. It is very hard for her to be convinced to trust somepony with only word; she must be convinced with actions. However she is a top notch flier and had training at the Wonderbolt Academy. She also has a strong hatred aginst Nobles believeing them to be the cause of the vampire outbreaks. Her main fear is blood, caused by her parents bloody death. Her secondary fear is claustrophobia. She is keeping some sort of secret from everypony and it has something to do with the contents of her satchel which is never opened around other ponies. She dislikes talking about her ear, Nimbus, and especially her satchel. She may seem rude or uncaring at first, but with time she will open up a little and be the kind, caring pony that she is. Just, for Celestia's Sake, Don't ask about her satchel.
