Character Summary: This sweet little mare was born in Cloudsdale as one of a set of twins to Thunderstar of the Weather Patrol, and the lovely mare, Starbright, one of the Astronomers of the Cloudsdale Observatory.

After some thought, the twins were each given a two-part name to remind them that while they were so alike, they were still unique. As it was, the parents were not really surprised when the twins received virtually the same cutie mark the night they were allowed to stay up and watch a meteor shower during a family trip to the distant land where the zebras live.

During the flight, their parents had taught them celestial navigation and to always use the North Star and they would never be lost. Apparently the lessons took since they each have what seems to be a representation of that star for their cutie mark.

The twins love of the night sky has been deeply instilled by the work of their mother, who among her other observations faithfully tracked the movement of four stars mentioned in older texts. Even if no one else seemed to care before the event, she had ordered her family grounded at the time of the alignment and "the day of the long night" as she called it, keeping them safe when Nightmare Moon escaped.

Like certain other ponies, the twins had their share of problems with bullies and jerks in flight school, but teamwork with each other and a larger circle of friends saw them through the rough spots in flight training.

Even so, she still ends up having to sometimes save her brother from situations his adventures get him into.

Their entry into the Weather Patrol was expected of them by their father, but they enjoy it as their father personally taught them the ins and outs of taming the weather and riding the stormfront winds at greater speed to warn the teams of storms too big for them to handle alone.

Now, after their 18th birthday, both she and her brother are starting out as trainee astronomers. As such, they are tasked with doing much of the field work for some of the fully accredited Astronomers in Cloudsdale and Canterlot, particularly their mother now that she’s starting to slow down.

When not in the field, they handle some of the workload in calculating the data in predicting when important celestial events will occur and where the best viewpoint will be. They sometimes end up in the wrong place, but that is taken as being important data as well since the object is not behaving as expected.

In their fieldwork, they will be travelling from place to place to get the best view of celestial events, steadily broadening their range of locations to observe from. This range currently stretches from Cloudsdale, Fillydelphia, Canterlot, and over to Rockwington. They even observed a comet from Appleoosa, trying out a new camera system on it.

(If seen in passing by other players in the afternoon or evening, one or both twins may be towing a 10’ long collapsible telescope made in Cloudsdale, in it’s 4’ long travel case on a pegasus cart.)

Along with all this, unless they get clearance for a long trip, they are also expected to perform their duties in the Weather Patrol in the daytime.

*Secret* Sometimes wishes she could travel to the moon and beyond.
