Relationship info: Golden Glow gets crushes easily and is a bit of a romantic. She likes to read romance novels and dream of her perfect stallion. Golden Glow is straight but is aesthetically appreciative of mares. Goldy's idea of a perfect stallion would be somepony who is brave, bold and committed. Protective, romantic and charming. Because of her gentle nature, she actually prefers a contrast to herself, a 'rough around the edges' grumpy but heart of gold kind of stallion, perhaps as a result of reading too much romance. The most important thing though is that he must care very deeply for her, everything else is just extra. Golden is presently looking for a relationship, though it's not her main goal. She likes to take things slow but if there's sparks she may melt a little faster. 

How to win her heart: Grand gestures and acts of bravery! She's easily flattered. Her favorite flowers are Gardenia and Wisteria, her favorite chocalate is salted caramel filled dark chocalate (the darker the better) And her idea of a perfect date Is a moonlit trip to the beach, or going on a dangerous adventure


Eye colour: A reflective hue of copper and iron, almost rusty. 


Coat: Her coat is a light pastel yellow overall, With gold colored freckles across her nose and dotting her legs. Her legs are very fluffy towards the legs, with a design of melted wax towards her hooves that is the color of gold. The tip of her nose is a gold color, she has the same golden melted wax patterns on her ears with golden tufts of fur, and there is an excess of neck fluff around her neck, also gold in color. 

Golden Glow's bat wings are the same color as her eyes almost, a shifting gradient of orange to a deep red. 


Mane/Tail: Goldy's mane is a mass of thick white hair, braided into a large braid held together at the ends by a large pearl, a family heirloom gifted by her mother. Streaks of gold run through her hair, and the tuft of fur at the end of her long tail Are also braided with streaks of gold, except her tail braid is held by a simple red tie. 


Physique: Goldy is a little taller than normal ponies, and because of that she's more lithe and slender. She has a very feminine body with pronounced, delicate curves, and long thin legs. Though not as tall as the typical alicorn body type, she has a few inches on normal ponies. Instead of a fully length tail, she has a long and thin furless tail, with her hair at the end. Like her body, her face is slender and petite. 


Residence: Born to a colony in Unicorn Range, currently resides in a cozy cottage in Hollow Shades. 


Occupation: Golden Glow makes her living by hoofcrafting candles of all shapes, sizes, textures and aromas. Using beeswax gathered by the bees she keeps, and the honey to flavor other things, she makes aromatic candles that are easy on a bat pony's eyes and sufficiently light the area while smelling lovely, never overpowering to a bat pony's keen smell. She uses only organic and natural ingredients, and even sells artistic candles. When the need arises, Goldy makes specialized enchanted candles from magic crystals and stones, for almost any purpose imaginable. 

 

Goldy also takes it upon herself to light the pathways and trails with lanterns, to guide those who get lost in the dark forest. If anypony gets lost, she is among the first to volunteer to help find them. Her warm and welcoming glow has led many non-nocturnal ponies out of the dark wood. 


Cutie Mark: Golden Glow's cutie mark is made up of three pillar candles side by side, the one to the left of medium height, the middle being the largest, and the candle to the right being as small as a tealight. All three candles are lit, and golden wax drips from them. 

 

Goldy got her cutie mark when a group of earth ponies from vanhoover decided to go mountain climbing, but when night fell they become lost and afraid. The rest of her colony thought it'd be best not to intervene, seeing as they'd only frighten them more with the superstitions of Aerion and possibly send them into a panic. Golden Glow however couldn't bear to hear their frightened cries as they trundled around in the dark. She grabbed a lantern and flew out into the night, and without revealing herself to the group of earth ponies, She lit their way until they found the path back to vanhoover. Once they were safely on their way back, her cutie mark appeared and she realized her special talent was guiding the lost with her gently glowing light, offering guidance and hope. 


Unique Traits: Golden Glow has reflective copper eyes, and her varied golden freckles are also reflective and glow slightly. In the dark, her cutiemark glows slightly as if the candles are really lit. Like most Aerion, she has remarkable night vision and keen hearing, accompanied by tufted ears and fangs. Unlike most Aerion however, her fur is thicker and longer because her colony's home mountain range is often covered in snow. 

 

History: Golden Glow was born to a colony of Aerion who nested in Unicorn Range. Her father, a white stallion with gold markings named Dawnstar was an elder and leader of the small community. To facilitate a bond with the neighboring colony of Galloping Gorge, he arranged for his only daughter Golden Glow to marry the son of the other colony's elder when they came of age. Growing up, Golden Glow vocally opposed the arranged marriage. The relationship between her and her parents frayed and tension was high. When her wedding day came, Her mother bestowed a large pearl to Golden Glow, a family heirloom passed from mother to daughter. Golden Glow uses it to hold her braid, and decided then and there that if such a priceless heirloom was to be passed to her, she wanted to pass it down to a daughter from a stallion she truly loves. So she ran away from home, With a suitcase of her most precious belongings. 

 

Golden Glow travelled to Cloudsdale, Ponyville, and Canterlot searching for a place to belong, causing the locals a fright in the process. She offered her services of candlemaking everywhere, but nopony needed her talents or wanted a bat pony around due to the myths and superstitions surrounding her kind. Running out of money and hope, she used the last of her money at a cheap inn at Canterlot, where she overheard news of a small village shrouded in mystery, Hollow Shades. She heard that it had a sizeable population of bat ponies and decided to head there the next morning. 

 

Upon arriving to Hollow Shades, Golden Glow became immediantly entranced with it's small town charm, friendly villagers and mysterious happenings. While exploring the hamlet, she came across a candle shop already there. Golden Glow entered to find an old, lonely white unicorn mare, whose hair had silvered in her old age. Golden Glow asked for a job there and while the old mare named Vanilla Wax refused stubbornly,  Golden Glow persisted and begged and reasoned. Finally, she caught the old mare's attention by saying she'd work for free, as long as she could live there and that with her working at night, the mare could keep her store open 24 hours which meant more business. Vanilla Wax conceded and allowed Golden Glow to work for her. 

 

Apprenticed under Vanilla Wax, Golden Glow learned all of the old mare's secrets, tips and tricks to candle making, including how to make enchanted candles and collect beeswax and honey from the three hives she kept. After hearing of Golden Glow's tale, the old unicorn welcomed Golden Glow and taught her everything she knew. Golden Glow picked up Vanilla Wax's hobby of guiding newcomers to the village at night, but due to the mare's age and deteriorating health soon it was only Golden Glow keeping the unicorn's tradition. Golden Glow took care of the mare in her old age, and when the old unicorn became bedridden with a simple cold, she decided it was time to retire. Vanilla Wax gave her shop to Golden Glow, who became like a daughter to her in the few years they were together since the mare had no foals or fillies to call her own. Vanilla Wax retired to an old folks home in Canterlot, and Golden Glow still visits her every month. 

Golden Glow was welcomed into the community as Vanilla Wax's replacement, and became known as a friendly Aerion who made candles as good or better than Vanilla Wax. 

 

Character Personality: Golden Glow is typically an easygoing, laid back Aerion. She's calm and gentle, her demeanor inspiring tranquility in those near her. She's soft spoken but has no issue speaking up. Golden Glow is often finicky and has a great deal of attention to detail. She's very emotionally sensitive and remarkably empathetic. She's soft hearted and wears her heart on her sleeve and has the unfortunate tendency to be gullible. While Golden Glow is laid back and gentle, this does not make her a pushover. She's witty and sarcastic, and when it comes down to it she can be fierce and steadfast. 

 

Golden Glow likes honeycakes, her bees, a warm cup of chamomile and mint tea, things that glow, especcially flowers and bugs, and books about fantasy and romance. 

Goldy dislikes being too hot but hates the cold more. She dislikes birds because they always chirp right before she goes to bed in the morning. Getting wet when she doesn't want to, such as puddles or unexpected storms is disliked. She hates loud noise, especcially loud music that hurts her sensitive ears. And no matter what you say, she will never EVER like milk chocalate. 

 

Her hobbies include long nightly walks through the woods, and reading by the fireplace. She also enjoys planting flowers for her honeybee hives, though sometimes she needs help due to her black hoof when it comes to gardening. Golden Glow loves kids, and likes to tell spooky stories to tourists and foals. She's social, but quiet unless a reason to speak presents itself. 


Character Summary: Golden Glow is a young Aerion mare from the colony of Unicorn range, who ran away from home to escape her frayed relationship with her parents and her arranged marriage. After being taken in by an old unicorn mare who owned a candle shop, Goldy learned all the tricks of the trade and inherited the shop from the senior mare, whom retired. 

Golden doesn't visit her family, she's too afraid of being forced back into the marriage and since she didn't leave on the best terms, she's afraid to go back. Every conclave, she attends in secret under a cloak and makes certain to avoid her family.
