Coat Color: Has a dark blue coat, moving to near black it would seem to those without sharp eyes.

Mane/Tail and style of such: She has lovely midnight blue mane and tail, long and wavy but not really styled as she normally only brushes it.

Eye Color: Eyes are a lovely shade of emerald green

Cutie Mark: green outline of an eye with a black pupil surround in light blue aura

Physique: Slender of build and of a fair height, attractive as well.

Talent: Seeing hints of the future in her dreams, and can speak with the stars too. Though she rarely completely understands what she is told. Usually her talent works as a sixth sense where the stars warn her of for danger and trouble around or near her.

Occupation: Astrologer, currently assistant but formally apprentice to Star Gazer

Motivation: To find out about herself, to find out what happened to her parents. To be able to talk to others about her talent... to make friends, but ones she can trust.

Likes: Reading, but mostly only those on the night sky and the stars. Books that might help her understand her talent better. Good manners, those that are nice to others, and those that can make her laugh.

Dislikes: Taking risks, unpredictability. Selfishness, those that don't think things through

Character Summary: Named by the parents Stardream would never know she had to spend her earliest years at an orphanage, but was taken in by what would seem a crabby high class old mare by the name of Sourbloom. It actually confused some why an earth pony would want to adopt a pegasus but old mare was insistent. It wasn't until she was older that she understood why she even was adopted, though at least Sourbloom played with her bit, bought things for her, and paid attention to her... they did manage to become friends somehow. It would seem it didn't take much for the old mare to start complaining, and it didn't help that Stardream wings and her learning to use them right broke things but it would seem most of the time Sourbloom complained about her family who never visited and only seem to want her money.

It was when Stardream was a young filly she that she got her cutie mark. Having always had an interest in the night sky, feeling a comfort being under them and even thinking sometimes they could hear and understand her. She talked to the stars, considering them friends, and wish time and again that they would talk back to her. At time she thought they did, at times even hearing what would seem warnings that have protected her from danger. Once listening to the stars had saved the live of her guardian, which is how she gained her cutie mark. (Sourbloom had a small heart attack, the stars prompted Stardream to look for Sourbloom as soon as it started. Because of this medical staff was able to get to her in time to stabilize her, thus saving the old mare's life).

When Stardream got older, a older filly, Sourbloom started to show her age. Her health low, the old mare stayed in her bed and was watch over by nurses she had hired to watch over her condition at all times . One day Sourbloom call Stardream in, telling her something the old bat had never said before... that she loved her, that if it wasn't for her Sourbloom wouldn't have known what to do. She explained then why she had adopted her, not just because she was a lonely old mare but because she wanted someone to pass on what she had gained in her long life. When Stardream ask about Sourbloom's other relative she only laughed, saying they would just waste what she would leave behind justifying herself by saying they never cared about her. The two talk a bit more and share a tender moment, before being hurried out by the nurse on duty who told her Sourbloom needed rest.

So it was, Stardream lost the only family she had but gained more then the memories she had of the old mare. When the relatives found out that Sourbloom had stated in her will that everything would go to Stardream, they were not pleased to say the least. Yet the old bat had been smart and made sure control of the property was safe in the hooves of a friend until Stardream could legality own it, her final act being a a 'take that' to the family that only wanted her money. Yet Stardream didn't keep most of it anyway, having most of it given away to help build an planetarium in Canterlot. When old enough, and her schooling that her guardian had started to her was finished, Stardream left her home under the care of the servants... deciding to set off to find her place in Equestria.

Gaining a position as an apprentice to an older stallion named Star Gazer, a unicorn astrologer that studies the movements of the stars and other astral bodies and sends reports to Canterlot. Though it took some time to convince him to train her, partly because of how old she was and partly because he preferred to do his job alone. Yet it didn't take long for Stardream to show her knowledge of the stars and she did impress him... yet it was discovering her Talent that he said yes. You see by this point Stardream had a fair idea how her Talent worked, it becoming of use in her life. Yet she still kept most ponies from knowing about it, as who would believe that a pegasus could see the future. That she could speak with the stars and once in a while have a strange dreams, dreams that oddly connect to herself and others around her. It was an odd gift to say the least, especially or a pegasus, as normally one could only use spells to divine such things. This is what got her Star Gazer to say yes, it was fascinated him that was her talent. This surprised Stardream, thankful as it was rare for those few she told to believe her so quickly. So with that she traveled with Star Gazer and learned how to be a astrologer herself.

Later Stardream met a handsome stallion unicorn named Mythos in Canterlot, a storyteller and scholar that seemed to have been all over Equestria. They became close, Mythos even inviting her at times to go out for some fun and to see what Canterlot could offer. As time went on, Stardreams feelings for Mythos grown until she even started to fall in love with him. Yet she found out that Mythos had been hiring his research based skills to ponies of an unsavory feel to Stardream, the stars warning her of danger. When she found out some of these ponies were hurting others, she confronted Mythos about it. What she heard him say shocked her, as he explained he found nothing wrong with helping these ponies, even if some were hurting others by their actions. Stardream couldn't let it go, and tried for sometime to convince Mythos to stop helping them. When he wouldn't she finally gave up and said that she couldn't do this, that she couldn't stay with Mythos if he continued his work as he did. With tears in her eyes she said that she just did not understand how the nicest pony she know would be willing to help those that hurt others.

With that she left him which hurt very much, and she moved back to Trottingham. She got back in contact with her old mentor asking for work, who hired her without question as his assistant because he knew her reliability... though she had to start traveling often again because of this.

Other: Her talent is limited, mostly just giving hints of things to come, and even when things are clear and detailed Stardream does not always understand what she sees or dreams. Also she will be connected with Mythos Gray, my other OC pony but I don't plan on them meeting right away and it is even likely she would have 'moved on' when they do meet.

Alrighty, chatted with the mods about her abilities here as a pegasus. It is alright if her glimpses of the future happen in her dreams, but she can't control anything that happens to another character. So anything they envision has to be applicable to a lot of situations, in other words it is a vision of what may be, not what will be.

So I am going to stamp with the understanding the above is acknowledged.

Ah so that is way it was taking so long. Yes I understand completely that Stardream's ability will not be able to control others actions at all. Yet, I would like to going over a few situations where it would work and talk about how. What if, something bad were to happen or someone or a group were to make a bad choice... would Stardream be able to say, "I don't think that is a good idea, I... have a bad feeling about this." or like there is a time herself or another could get hurt and she were to move to push them out of the way. Or perhaps she gives somepony their fortune at their request (where I would be able to go over such fortunes with the player of the character).

On bringing up her doubts and uncertainings other ponies would be able to brush it off with, "you worry too much", "nothing will happen". On the second they would be able to either make it so she doesn't push them aside and/or get annoyed at her. Such situations wont come up often understandably and her 'future sight' will also normally apply just to her.

Also I plan on them being difficult to understand and applying to many situations thus "in other words it is a vision of what may be, not what will be" is fine.
