unicorn Yoru Arashi/In’ei Tate [Ready]

[PyroBlaze]

Name: Yoru Arashi (In’ei Tate is the spirit)

 

Sex: Female

 

Age: Mare

 

Species: Unicorn (unicorn spirit)

 

Eye Color: Golden yellow (blood red)

 

Character Color: Light blue with purple hooves (purple with light blue hooves)

 

Mane/Tail: Orange and yellow, it is tied into a large ponytail in the back. In the front it still has some spiky bangs. The tail is fairly long, almost reaching the ground. It has a short spike of orange at the top, with two long sections of yellow and orange beneath it. She also tends to wear a small pair of eyeglasses. (Being a spirit, her mane and tail have become very wispy and flowy, ending up looking more like a fire in slow motion as they are constantly moving. Both are mostly black with streaks of gray in them.)

 

Physique: While healthy, her body is not exactly impressive. It is the body of one who only exercises enough to keep from gaining weight, but otherwise focuses more on other pursuits. She would be considered thin, as well as being a little shorter than most mares. (She is much more physically imposing than her counterpart, boasting a body bigger than most in terms of height and muscle. Surprisingly though, she has little in the way of battle scars.)

 

Residence: A home in Canterlot

 

Occupation: Teacher/scholar at Celestia’s school (guardian)

 

Cutie Mark: Three sky blue lightning bolts aimed for the same spot. The lightning bolts signify both her aptitude toward electric magic and the speed at which she tends to learn new things. 

 

She got this mark while enrolled in a special class about elemental magic. As they went through the various elements, fire, water, ice, wind, she would be among the first in her class, the others being those who were predisposed to that particular type, to understand how each element functioned and how to make use of them. She could not actually use these elements though, aside from very basic things in some cases, but she understood the theory behind it all. And then the class reached the portion on lightning magic. As soon as they started, it clicked for her, and she learned all the spells as quickly as they teach them. She hadn’t even noticed her mark appearing at some point during this, too focused on learning new things. 

 

(A light purple crescent, which signifies her drive to protect others, even if it meant doing things most people would disagree with.)

 

Unique Traits: Yoru:

Photographic Memory: On top of her nearly insatiable desire to learn, Yoru never seems to forget anything she reads. 

Lightning Magic: While she knows the theory behind most magic by now, most of the spells she can cast are lightning magic or are based on it. 

 

In’ei:

Shadow Magic: Conversly, In’ei’s magical skills lie primarily in utilizing the shadows with her magic in defensive and offensive ways. 

Weapon Proficiency: Her use of weaponry spans from bows to swords to spears, though her weapon of choice is a classic sword and shield combo. 

 

Both:

Transference: Either form can draw on the strengths of the other, allowing Yoru to utilize shadow magic and In’ei lightning. They both can communicate with each other silently, allowing for the sharing of information. This also allows them to switch who is piloting, which also at least seems to physically change the body. 

 

 

History: Yoru’s history was a rather quiet one, all things considered. She grew up as the only child of her family in Neighpon, and she was a curious child indeed. She would always be trying to explore her surroundings and learn about them even at a very young age. This desire for learning only intensified as she grew, leading to her traversing the school system with an insatiable hunger. On top of that desire to learn began to grow a desire to teach others as well, directing her later efforts towards the required materials that would allow her to pursue this new career goal.

 

Soon after she graduated though, her parents had died, leaving her suddenly without a home. Thankfully, she soon found a job with a local school and was able to get herself a place to live. Once things were stable on that front, she went to visit the graves of her parents and pay her respects. That day led her deeper than she intended though, as after wandering for a bit in grief, she stumbled upon a crumbling grave. Saddened by this, she decided to fix it as best she could with what was left. Once she was done, she felt a strange presence, and suddenly she was floating in a sea of darkness, In’ei being the only other thing in it. After conversing for what felt like forever, Yoru agreed to let In’ei stay and protect her as needed. Sometimes the simplest kindness can be the most important. 

 

A few years later, her desire to learn, both about her situation and the knowledge of other cultures, lead her to start traveling. Unfortunately, she only got to Equestria before encountering a problem, there were so many books just in Canterlot’s libraries she had yet to read! Well, that and her previous salary did not leave much funds for traveling the world. As such, she settled down in Canterlot and got a job at Celestia’s school. At least until she ran out of books again. 

 

Personality: Yoru has always been an incredibly curios mare, wanting to learn more about every new thing she comes across. This, coupled with her somewhat shy yet friendly nature, led her into her current line of work, as well as gain her many new friends. She is really not much of a heavy-lifter, preferring roles that let her use her brain and her words to solve problems. 

 

(In’ei, on the other hand, is much more outspoken. She is not shy about speaking her mind, especially when it’s against someone she doesn’t like. Surprisingly, that’s a fair number of others, as she does not make friends easily. Luckily for Yoru, she considers her host’s friends to be her own. Once someone becomes a friend of hers though, they gain a loyal protector as well as a loyal friend.)
