Character Summary: Blue Moon was born and raised in Canterlot by his unicorn mother and father – both of which prominent scholars of the magical arts. He lived a typical life like many of the ponies in Canterlot, which included attending the local schoolhouse until he was of age and making friends with the local colts and fillies. His parents also had him attend a tutor to better handle his unicorn magic in part because of the deeply magical genes he inherited from his parents. Despite not being the most talented magic user amongst his peers, he was a hard worker and eventually mastered intermediate magical spells by the time he was in his teens. However, this was not before earning his cutie mark and learning of his place in Equestria.

Blue Moon started down the road to earning his cutie mark when he found himself lost in Canterlot's business district and stumbled into the alleyway dedicated to some of Canterlot's oldest magicians and sorcerers. In the time it took him to navigate his way out of the rather intimidating shops and stands, he had garnered a fascination for magical relics and tales of lore through discovering a magic book store. This would start him down the road to learning and 'collecting' tales of magical lore – so much so that he earned his cutie mark after receiving his first archaic tome from his mother upon graduating from school. For the years following his schooling, Blue Moon dedicated his time and energy to traveling Equestria to collect hundreds, if not thousands, of books and harness his magic to the best of his ability.

After traveling for some time, Blue Moon decided it was time to settle down somewhere. Convinced that he had his fill of Canterlot, he sought out a new life in quiet, little Ponyville. Setting up his own shop in the marketplace, he now has dedicated himself as a 'lorekeeper' and experience scholar of the magical arts. For him, nothing is better than offering a magical tale or giving a helping hoof to a young unicorn or pony anxious to learn magic. With his bookshelves filled to the brim with magical tomes of spells and stories as well as almost endless containers of magical reagents, Blue Moon aims to bring a little more magic to Ponyville and it's denizens.

Edit: Updated the background story a bit and brightened his eyes.
