History: Tarot is the last of her line. A once proud noble family of Canterlot now clinging to its history and name. When she was just a foal, her father would vanish leaving her mother to raise Tarot alone. When she was of age, she was hastily enrolled in the School for Gifted Unicorns. Barely passing her entrance exam, Tarot would take a keen interest in supernatural magics. The subject consumed her, taking every free moment she had, and even some of the time she should have been devoting to her regular studies.

 

One subject she seemed to have trouble with was making friends. Often, she would find herself alone in the cafeteria reading a book, or playing with a deck of cards. Her classmates would give her the nickname ‘Solitaire’ for this reason. Later, she found herself getting bullied for her lack of friends and lack of cutie mark. It was an older filly in the cleric field named Twinkle Dawn who first saw promise in the filly, convincing her to try using a deck of Tarot Cards. It was at that moment, she earned her cutie mark and made her first real friend. 
 

As she became more adept, she learned that she could influence the outcome of small events by purposely flipping a card, something she would take advantage of. Before long, she found herself in the same curriculum as her new friend Twinkle. As she grew older, she looked to Twinkle as a sister of sorts.

 

Meanwhile back home, her mother was not pleased in the slightest in her choice of study. She would try numerous time have change her daughter’s course, but to no avail. She even went as far a threatening to pull young Tarot out of school. She was a Spell after all. Canterlot nobility, and this skill…it was not up to her mother’s idea of what nobility was.

 

As the bits began to run dry, Tarot’s mother would attempt to move onto the next noble. The cards had told her once before her father’s true fate, keeping the fact she knew from her mother. When she was old enough to legally inherit Spell Manor, she would turn her mother into the authorities, revealing her mother to be a black widow. 

Under the tutelage of her mentor Twinkle Dawn, Tarot Spell has become one of the premier fortune tellers in all of Equestria, even at such a young age. The magical prowess of a Spell plus her mother’s manipulate powers has given young Tarot a few…extra abilities.

 

Now a young mare, Tarot still works with her first friend as her apprentice. If she believes in Twinkle’s cause is yet to be seen…publicly… Privately, she will stand by her first friend till the end. Tarot keeps her identity a secret at Twinkle’s little meetings, though a pare of familiar eyes can be seen hiding under a red velvet cloak, pared with a very unique set of gold earrings.

Character Personality:

Once a happy filly, Tarot Spell is self centered and two faced at time. Though she never comes off as course and selfish, she often finds a way to benefit from even the darkest fortunes. Nothing is below her, even using her darker powers to cultivate bad luck or even curse those she sees as an enemy…. a part of her personality inherited from her mother. Tarot is also very secretive. She will sometimes withhold part of a fortune, giving her client just enough information to 'entertain' herself as she follows them with her cards.

 

Rumors sometimes swirl that the mare has the ability to reach the other side, giving her dark abilities a boost.

Skills:

Tarot reading-The most accurate in all of  known Equestria

Medium-Being able to contact those long gone.

Curses-Giving a pony bad luck...or worse.

Voodoo-Not much is know about this ability as she herself only found her Grandmother Spell's journal, though she is more then willing to experiment.
