Pony template made by General Zoi
-General Stuff-
Name: Storm Cloud
Nickname/Alias(es): Storm, Stormy, Stor, the littlest Cloud. She'll usually just go by her first name, but any and all nicknames are acceptable.
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Female
Age: Mare (young adult or older teens-ish, about 18 or 19)
Additional Status: Storm dreams of becoming a Wonderbolt, though it's unlikely to happen with her abysmal self-confidence. So she'll stick to helping deal with the weather, for now at least.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: It's a very pale, grayish teal colour.
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Storm's mane is one of the things she cares for the most. It's mainly darkish teal, though there is a thick streak of darker, navy-ish blue. She styles it in a style very similar to Rainbow Dash. Her tail is pretty long, and she usually just lets it do whatever it wants, so it goes kind of spikey and wild. It's the same shade of teal as her mane, only without the navy.
Eye Color: Gray/Silver
Cutie Mark: A dark, gray storm cloud, with a bright yellow lightning mark going through the center.
Other Scars/Markings: N/A
Physique: In all honesty, Storm is kind of scrawny. She very slim, with wiry muscles instead of noticeable, "buff" ones. She's also slightly shorter than average, which leads to many a pony thinking she's weak or unhealthy. She's not, promise.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Ponyville
Job: Storm-cloud clearer, mainly. During nicer weather she picks up various little jobs around town.
Mother: Unfortunately, she left Storm and Thunder with their dad when they were young and left to travel the world. They haven't heard from her since.
Father: Flame Cloud. He recently moved back to Cloudsdale.
Sibling(s): One older brother, Thunder Cloud.
Other Family: There are A LOT of ponies in Equestria with the surname 'Cloud'. She's related to most of them, though the connections can get a bit complicated as they get a bit obscure (like her father's sister's husband's niece's grandson kind of thing).
Closest Friends: Blazin' Skies is one of them. He also is helping her train so that the Wonderbolts might consider them both.
Courting/Courted By: She's really afraid of commitment, so that's not likely to happen any time soon.
Mate: Same as above.
Foal(s): N/A
-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
- Tea
- Flying
- Reading
- Lightning storms
- Acting a bit crazy
- Ponyville's winter wrap-up. She been participating since she was a filly.
Dislikes:
- Being the center of attention. She prefers to be off to the side.
- Failure, or failing at something she wants to do.
- Not having a signature move. Without her very own "Sonic Rainboom", why would the Wonderbolts want her?
- Ponies who think she's stupid because she doesn't talk much.
- Her mother, and the fact that she left when Storm was young. Dads and brothers are great and all, but sometimes a filly needs her mummy.
- Cocky ponies, or ponies who think they're better than everypony else. Storm likes to prove them wrong.
Motivation: There are three mane (see what I did there?) things that Storm says keep her going. Those are 1) Her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt, though she doesn't think it's going to happen very soon; 2) Her loyalty to others, that keeps her where she is and not becoming a vagabond like her mother; and 3) her family. She hold her father and brother in highest esteem, and does everything she can to make them proud.
Strengths:
- Flying, and her job. Stormclouds are her speciality, which may be due to her loving working in a dangerous situation that might scare other ponies.
- Her loyalty. Even if it get the better of her on occassion, it makes her many friends and is the reason most of them stick around for a long time.
- Intelligence. She's actually very smart, though she may not seem it.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
- Showing weakness. She hates to do it, and crying in public is her worst nightmare.
- Her temper, and how she lets it get the better of her.
- She has difficulty doing anything well under pressure. She tends to crack, and it takes advantage ofthat.
- She can invest her trust in the wrong pony, and that has lead to her being taken advantage of in the past.
Fears: Her main one who be to not make her father proud, though Storm is claustrophobic and fear being confined to a small space.
Overall Persona:
Storm Cloud is a quiet mare, a soft-spoken one who always seems to have an acute knowledge of what's going on. She's observant and perceptive, and tends to understand how other are feeling. And that's great, but she doesn't know what to do beyond that. She isn't good at making feel better, she usually just makes the situation awkward with her confused stuttering and mumbling. She hates being the center of attention, and is always more than willing to let Blazin' or one of her other friends be in the spotlight. It’s not that Storm’s shy, not at all. She’s actually quite outgoing, but she just doesn’t speak a lot, preferring to sit back and watch what's going on. Storm tries her hardest to be sweet and patient (though it doesn't always work terribly well), and she is certainly someone who values speaking your mind. Once you know her well, and have attained her friendship, you'll realize that Storm is, frankly, a bit of a nutter. She'll show her quirky ways for all to see. She is much more out-spoken, being perfectly willing to tease or mess around with her close friends. She’ll show her sarcastic side -- a VERY active side, but will prove to be loyal to the bone.
While normally one of the quietest people you could know, Storm is prone to extremely loud outbursts of emotion on occasion, in which she loses control. This is very, very unusual for her, and only happens in situations of intense excitement or emotional stress.
But don’t let that quiet exterior fool you. Storm is a devil. A quick-tempered, sarcastic, adrenaline-junkie of a devil.
Storm is certainly what could be described as "hot-headed". Her temper flares up frequently, and it's not something many ponies like to face. She doesn't like backing down from a fight, and her "death glare" has made many a grown stallion back off. She also gets irritated incredibly easily.
Sarcasm is little Cloudie's best friend. She uses it on a regular basis, and her snippy remarks, while funny to some, sure can be hurtful. But sarcasm's one of her methods for being heard, so she's not going to stop using and abusing it any time soon.
Can you say adrenaline junkie? That basically sums up Storm. She loves doing things that could potentially be dangerous, especially things she's been told NOT to do. Why? Because Storm just doesn't care. She does what she wants. If it's fun and possibly hazardous to her health, she's doing it.
Also, Storm's loyal as heck. You mess with someone she loves (or cares for), you're in for it. She'll stick with the ponies she trusts no mater what, and would sacrifice anything for them.

History:
Storm was born in Cloudsdale, to a pair of pegasus ponies who had been mates for not a terribly long time. She was their second child and first daughter, and while her father was happy to have another foal, her mother was unenthusiastic. She left her mate and her two children, and went to travel the world.
Storm's father took a job in Ponyville when Storm was young (about six or seven in human years), and moved out there with Storm and her brother. It was mainly to get away from the memories of the mate who left him, though supposedly the small town was a better place to raise children than in the larger Cloudsdale. So that's where Storm and her brother Thunder were raised. It was a good childhood, even without her mother there. Maybe it was even better without. Recently, one of her best friends from her time in Cloudsdale, Blazin' Skies, moved to Ponyville. They've started training together, so that the Wonderbolts may take interest in them as new recruits. Blazin' is also helping Storm try to find her signature move, since he's already found his.
