Whispering Wind
between 16-19
Unicorn
Silvery swirls and dots
Deep purple coat, matte mane with a neon green stripe, emerald eyes

Powers: Whispering Wind is not entirely sure that she's gifted with powers. When she was 14, she declared to her parents that she had heard the winds whisper. Silly, they thought, and Whisp did not mention it again. Today she's grown in both confidence and mind, and believes herself to be telepathic. She just hasn't mastered the art yet.

Description/temperament: The young unicorn truly is a confused teen, but say what you want - she's sensible. In uncomfortable situations she tends to be quiet, and when comfortable she's the opposite. Whisper tends to be a cheerful blabbermouth and often talk before she thinks.
She never do anything rash or dangerous.

History:
Whispering Wind was born in Xanadia, a magical land far away from Ponyville. At an early age, her parents divorced. Her father, who originally was a citizen of Dream Valley moved back there and eventually got a new family. Whisp stayed with her mother. (How Lily and Rain found each other to start with is an entirely different story.)
The filly grew up in Xanadia, and learned that the outside world was hostile. But as she grew older, she got curious about the world - she had had a lot of contact with her father, but no more than that.

One day, Whisper "heard the winds call her", and she was sure that it meant that she had to leave her home in Xanadia. The elders disliked the idea, so did her mother at the beginning, but she eventually let her go.
Whisp visited Ponyville, met new friends, discovered Butterfly Island and when the gods attacked the town, she had already celebrated her fifteenth birthday. She was on her way back home.

Now that she's grown older, she's decided to move to Ponyville. She is still a little worried about Xanadia and the life she leaves behind, but she can't wait to be back in the cozy Ponyville.

Whisp is still doubting her powers. The winds could not have called her. Was someone trying to contact her - or did she simply pick up murmuring fragments of another?

Star Dasher
Early twenties
Earth pony
A gem
Dark purple, white and pink mane

Description/temperament: Dasher is selfish, unsocial and sometimes aggressive. She is trixy; a capable thief and a great liar.

History: Star Dasher is an orphan. Something may have happened to her parents, or maybe they just decided she was a mistake.
A young, good-hearted stallion found her in an alley when newborn, and left her at the local nursery. Star Dasher grew up there.

Dasher was a little rascal. Her favorite thing to do was playing pranks and teasing. She started fights just to get attention. The other baby ponies was scared of her. Some thought she was funny and weird. And the staff of the orphanage disliked her.

She ran away from the nursery, which was her home, at the age of eleven. Under the cover of chilly darkness she reached the Outer Edges of Ponyville. Today, she living there as a illegal outsider. Star steals whatever she needs to keep on living; food, and stuff to sell for more food.

During the time the Old Gods attacked Ponyville, Star Dasher was not all unaware. She witnessed Yama's murder of Notepad and Petunia.
All shaken, she ran to seek shelter in the closest welcoming building - the Nursery.
Coming there brang up a lot of memories. When she had calmed down, she had some tea in the kitchen. Sitting with her all trough the night was mysterious and funny youngster, whom she believed to be an orphan.
The unicorn reminded her about herself.

Later, she almost literally bumped into a pony named Coon Skin.
At first she was not impressed by his flirting, but then a chase between criminal and police started. Dasher realized that Coon was a thief, and did what she could to get Coon to safety. But they were parted, and they have not seen each other ever since.
Dasher, who's desperate for understanding, was falling for the shaggy gray pony.
A weird white kid chased her over the rooftops, and maybe Dasher is to be blamed of the leg that was broken. She fled to the forest and eventually found Coon's camp - and thus discovered that Coon indeed was a mare...

After another meeting with Breezie, who in Dasher's opinion seemed to enjoy playing cop and villain, she was infected by the strange PAARS.
