Name: Dark Star
Nickname/Alias: N/a
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Age:24
Additional Status: She can often be seen wearing a saddlebag that contains a few things; mostly a portable telescope, a couple of spare lenses and lens-cleaning cloths. She also wears a silver necklace featuring 3 small silver stars connected by a silver chain. If you look carefully, the stars actually shine in the dark.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Jet Black
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Red with black highlights, straightened and worn at a short length for the mane, long for the tail
Eye Color: Ruby Red
Cutie Mark: A black comet with a red, star-shaped outline
Other Scars/Markings: N/a
Physique: She possesses an average build for mares, even more so for unicorns. What's unusual though is her above-average height, being almost the same height as fully-grown stallions. It's something she's mildly shy about, usually accompanied by an awkward-looking smile when she's aware of how certain ponies see this height of hers.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Ponyville
Job: Astronomer
Mother: Celestic Ballad
Father: Woodstock
Siblings: N/a
Other Family: Midnight Scar (Cousin)
Closest Friends: Slipstream
Courting/Courted By: N/a
Mate: Silver Glow
Foal(s): Nightingale (Daughter)
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Astrology, quiet places
Dislikes: Ponies who bully other ponies, really loud noises
Motivation: Discovering new celestial bodies, basically wanting to understand stars completely
Strengths:
-Excellent social skills: Despite not having much experience around people, she actually possesses excellent social skills, being able to carry conversations even with ponies that seem to intimidate her.
-Proficiency in magic: Dark Star doesn't normally try to learn any spells that won't benefit her in the long-run, she possesses a great deal of profiency in teleportation, levitation, and illumination. In addition to these three spells, she also possesses a sort of heirloom-like spell passed down through the generations of her family. She only ever reveals this spell to ponies that she is certain she can trust.
-Nocturnal vision: due to her lifestyle, her eyes have completely adapted to dark areas, allowing her to see everything as normally as she could during the daytime. Interesting fact- if Dark Star's emotions reach a certain point, her eyes will actually glow. They aren't very noticeable in well-lit places, but are very easy to notice in darker places.
-Enhanced hearing: Ever since the day she was born, her hearing was far greater than many ponies. This serves as both a strength and a weakness at the same time due to the fact that her hearing can be manipulated by others who make too much noise.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Has difficulty making new friends, often because of how shy she is. Many times, she'll actually hide behind some large object and listen in on conversations before appearing. It's become a running gag that Dark Star becomes oblivious to her surroundings when she is eavesdropping on on other ponies, usually done by loosing her footing and slipping or stepping on something and creating enough noise to be discovered.
Fears: Stars falling from the sky and hurting ponies she knows
Overall Persona: Dark Star is a very different pony from most others. For one thing, she is almost completely nocturnal, mostly due to her work. While she has many ideas of what friendship is supposed to be like, she doesn't normally try to interact with other ponies. If another pony comes up to her and starts a conversation, she'll carry on after what the others say first and make small, somewhat shy responses. She's basically the shy/strong silent type. She's prone to acting without saying so much as a word, something that usually earns her a lot of bizarre stares from other ponies. She'll usually let bygones be bygones, but if some pony was bullying another, she would step forward to put an end to it immediately. She's also got a bit of tidiness OCD, almost always trying to fix whatever doesn't look right. She also has a strange habit of eavesdropping, mostly due to her shy nature. It's become a recurring gag that she somehow missteps and gathers attention to herself during the midst of her hiding, usually by stepping on a twig or just slipping in general.
History/Background: Dark Star was born in a valley where the local residents spend much of the day asleep, and much of the night is when they do a large portion of any tasks that they had planned. Dark Star herself was no exception, always spending the majority of each day sleeping and go out and about during the night. It didn't take her long to realize just how much she loved the stars in the night sky, even less time for her to get her cutie mark because of it. She just loved the sight of them for many years, yet she eventually became bored of observing them from her vantage point. Eventually, when she was old enough, she left her home and set out for a quest to find the perfect atmosphere for astrological study.
This eventually led her to Ponyville, a place where she could easily slip out to the nearby forest and observe the many stars that would appear under the veil of night.
After meeting Slipstream and having her live in her house for a couple of months, Dark Star has come out of her shell and revealed a bolder, more outgoing individual. She mostly keeps to herself and doesn't directly attempt to involve herself in other matters already in progress, but there are many a moment where her curiosity gets the better of her and makes herself get involved.
After giving birth to Nightingale, Dark Star develops a very kind and sweet personality, often becoming highly charmed and willing to make shows of affection towards her daughter in broad daylight. However, while she may seem calm and collected, she worries deeply for the well-being of her daughter, and often goes to extreme lengths to make certain Nightingale is safe, even becoming very hostile towards suspicious individuals as a result. She means well, but sometimes her actions can go a little worse than what she originally intended. In the end, Dark Star is simply a loving mother who cares entirely for the safety of her filly.
