-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
Organisation! He runs Silver Belle's bookshop with military precision.
Daydreaming about swashbuckling adventures …usually starring himself as a heroic Royal Guard.
Making his mother and sister happy.
Being compared favourably to his father by others.
Dislikes:
Failure.
Disappointing those that he loves or losing people’s respect.
Bullies, tricksters and general no-good villains.
Motivation: Valiant’s lifelong ambition was always to travel to Canterlot and serve in the Royal Guard, as his father had done before him. However, as much as he longed to achieve this goal, his love for his family and desire to protect them ultimately overruled any personal aspirations that he had of his own. As such, it is his loyalty to his mother and sister that remains his main motivation in life.
Strengths:
His unwavering loyalty to his friends and family.
His sense of responsibility.
His bravery.
His physical strength and agility.
His patience.
His intelligence and imagination.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
He can be stubborn, obstinate, and reluctant to back down from a plan or an opinion, even when proven to be wrong.
Can occasionally overestimate himself and his own abilities.
His desire to protect the ones that he loves can come across as more than a little overbearing.
A bit of a daydreamer. He finds his day-to-day life in Ponyville very tedious sometimes, and dreams himself away...although this can - and often does - get him into trouble.
His magical abilities are very weak when compaired to other unicorns.
Fears:
Never achieving his dream to join the Royal Guard.
Remaining in his mother’s dusty old bookshop in Ponyville for the rest of his life.
Overall Persona:
Growing up in Canterlot, the young Valiant had a happy and stable foalhood. He completely idolised his father, the legendary Gallant Heart: a decorated veteran of many battles and an undisputed hero in Equestria. Gallant Heart was the dashing Captain of the Royal Guard at this time and was known and respected throughout the land. Perhaps more importantly for Valiant, however, was the fact that he was a kind and loving father, who loved nothing more than to indulge his young son with tales of his adventures and daring do. Valiant, inspired by these stories, would imagine himself travelling to faraway places and battling for the honour of Equestria, much to his father’s fond amusement. His mother, Silver Belle, was frail and frequently ill, but she was adored by both Valiant and Gallant Heart, and they were all very happy together.
The family lived in what seemed to be perfect contentment for several years. However, this charmed life came crashing down around them shortly after Valiant’s younger sister, Twinkle Star, was born. Tragically, Gallant Heart was killed whilst defending Equestia’s boarders from a particulaly fierce dragon, leaving the delicate Silver Belle a widow with two young foals. The grieving family left Canterlot and returned to Silver Belle’s hometown of Ponyville, where she opened a bookshop to help support herself and her children. Valiant was utterly heartbroken to lose the father that he had so idolised, and became obsessed with joining the Royal Guard and living up to his father’s legacy.
As the years past, Valiant grew from an imaginative foal into a disciplined and athletic young stallion, all the while counting down the months until he would be old enough to apply to join the Royal Guard. He helped out in his mother’s shop, and became something of a father figure to Twinkle Star (who had only been a baby when Gallant Heart was killed). Finally, he came of age and was free to travel to Canterlot to join the Guards. A jubilant Valiant waved his family goodbye and boarded the train to Canterlot, but his triumph was fated to be short-lived. He was only three days into his initial training when he received a message to inform him that Silver Belle had collapsed and was gravely ill. Valiant had no choice but to renounce his commission with the Royal Guard and quickly return to Ponyville. He found his mother to be stable, but very weak and with seemingly little chance of ever making a full recovery. With a heavy heart, he realised that he could not achieve his dream of serving in his father’s regiment - his mother and sister needed him in Ponyville.
...Which brings us neatly to the present day. Valiant now takes care of his mother’s business and raises Twinkle Star as best he can. He is happy with his lot in life and has resigned himself to the fact that he may not get to achieve all that he had once dreamed of. But there are days when the shop is quiet and his thoughts drift far away from Ponyville, and he can almost hear the soft voice of Gallant Heart beckoning him away on an adventure…
