History: Born in the capital city of Canterlot, Moonstone became accustomed to the masses of people and the bright lights of the city even as a young pony. Her time in her early youth was much like most other ponies; she went to school, attended festivals, played games, and spent a lot of time learning about life from friends, family, and other ponies that she met. Few people doubted her decency, for the young girl had a talent for finding things. If someone had lost a hat, she would quickly turn up hours later with the item in question. Was someone looking for a new muffin recipe? Moonstone would scour the city in search of it, pleased to help. Most people who knew her said she was a foal good at finding things...

Her grandmother (and the mare she was named after) would often visit and regale her with stories of travel and a life on the rivers of Equestria, for Grandma Moonstone had been a sailor pony, and often spoke of a time when the railroads had yet to be built and the best way to go far and wide was the water.

Young Moonstone found herself caught up in these stories, her curiosity making her more and more eager to set out on her own and explore the world. One evening, during Hearth's Warming Eve, she wandered away from the annual play at the edge of town and set off into the night. Her way had been brightly lit by the stars, moon, and lights of the city, but as she went farther, eyes wide with excitement and wonder, clouds slowly drew in overhead.

The lights of the city were long lost around bends and twists over the landscape, and soon the stars and moon themselves seemed snuffed out. Barely more than a foal, Moonstone was very quickly lost, and started to grow deeply afraid. She'd never been so far from home, especially all alone, and she cried out as loudly as she could for her parents. When no one came, she curled up and huddled in place, too scared to move...

But a light slowly broke through the clouds, grabbing her attention. Moonstone looked up and saw the moon peeking through a gap in the dark fluff, twinkling stars shining around it. A feeling of knowing rushed through her in that moment, and her horn started to shimmer and glow, urging her to her feet and to move forward. With every tentative step the light of her horn grew brighter, and her path that much surer. She started to quickly trot, and then gallop as her horn blazed brighter than any of the city lights were alone. A wild, happy laugh escaped the little filly as she caught sight of the path and rushed up it, taking it quickly back to the corner of Canterlot and finding herself on the grounds. She'd not only found the will to go on, but the path home, too!

As she slowed and rejoined the crowds, her horn's light slowly flickered away, leaving her with courage, contentment, and warmth she didn't understand until she turned her head and saw a white crescent moon surrounded by five white stars on her flank.

In the years since, she has finished her formal education and taken to doing lamp-lighting work around Canterlot. Chronic insomnia keeps her up at late hours, but she doesn't seem to mind. Be they oil lamps, candles, or magical crystals, Moonstone has shown a knack for easily bringing these many sources of light to life, tending to and maintaining them as the need arises, all the while providing a guiding light to her fellow ponies who might be trapped in the dark. She still enjoys doing favors for people, spending her late night hours searching for this or that while not doing her job or relaxing. Moonstone is no longer afraid to wander from the city, confident that her horn will light the way and always bring her back home safely.

Character Summary: A young and curious insomniac of a unicorn who has grown up around city lights and the glamor of high society. She harkens to the stories of her namesake, her grandmother, about simpler times and the world beyond the city. Her special talent revolves around light and illumination, with a bit of finding a great deal of things (be they objects, solutions, ideas, etc.). She spends a good deal of time going on long walks or reading, and Princess Luna is her favorite princess.

Likes: Adventure stories, visiting new places, helping anypony (even if they're not ponies!), lighter shades of blue, and having somewhere comfortable to sleep whenever she's tired enough for it.

Dislikes: Unnecessarily rude people, splinters, rainy days without appropriate rain-gear, and spiders.
