Character Summary: Gear Shift lived with her parents Red Comet (a pegasus) and Honeydew (a unicorn) in Stalliongrad. Her parents ran a catering business out of stalliongrad for a living, Honeydew specializing in foods that included or was centered around honeydew and Red Comet (self taught stunt flier) providing aerial shows for entertainment. Both her parents tried to get their little filly interested in the business but she'd always run off to her room to tinker. Gear Shift was always taking things apart and analyzing them, she was fascinated with technology for as long as she could remember.

As she continued to feed her interest the years cultivated her mind allowing her to think with a level of clarity and critical thinking that most ponies lacked. Pretty soon her skill and knowledge of mechanics and basic engineering reached the point where mundane, day to day problem were an easy fix to her, whether it was a something simple like a burst pipe or something complicated like shorted out magitech. Gear Shift was the filly to call. Once she was secure in her ability to repair, modify, and build one thing at a time she decided to attempt to increase her productivity by multitasking. She found she had a natural talent for telekinesis, scanning, diagnostic, and temperature altering spells. At this realization she understood just how much magic could compliment her skills, she turned her eyes to the practice of magic and how to apply magic to technology. Within no time Gear Shift had mastered her magic to the point where she could telekinetically assemble a watch, scan the piece for flaws,and cut and weld metal for continued construction of the watch all simultaneously. On day there was a emergency at the Stalliongrad water treatment plant, the system was overloaded because a freeze backed up the piping. No one had the skill or know how to fix the problem fast enough and if left alone the pipes would burst and leave the Gear Shift's section of the city without running water. Gear Shift was on the scene within the hour, she skillfully cut and welded pipes where necessary while replacing, reshaping, reconstructing, and modifying the entire system. At the end of the day the system had been remade to use a valve system to shift pressure to a secondary pipe system in case this happens again. After the entire ordeal the young the filly got her cutie mark.

Because she always tinkered with machines at all hours of the day for practice her father took to calling her Gear Shift as a joke, a name she took to heart. Once she was old enough to leave home she went to Canterlot for schooling in mechanical and magical engineering. She excelled in most fields, but never graduated because of her off the wall, radical thinking and "impractical" theories. The professors were sad to see an Alpha Class unicorn simply drop out because of a few spats. "Wasted potential they said." But it wasn't just a spat or an argument. They insulted her creed, her way of doing things.

Upon returning home, she told her family of her failure. Her parents offered her a place at home and in her the family business. She politely refused and opted to move to Manehattan where she would try and set up base for a repair business (The business sole purpose is to fund her while she travels across Equestria gathering inspiration for her inventions). One day she plans on returning to her professors in Canterlot with a million inventions that will change the world, all made from her impractical ideas.

Personality: Gear Shift, was never a pony to have many friends but she was far from anti social the opposite actually. The problem was that most ponies didnt understand half of what came out of her mouth and were somewhat intimidated by her intellect. Because of this she's become somewhat with drawn finding comfort and companionship in machines. Quirky, a bit arrogant, somewhat over eccentric Gear Shift is one of the best at what she does and she neither hides it nor tries to downplay it.

She lives by the creed: Anything is possible with proper understanding.
