Character Summary:

As a tiny newborn filly, her Manehattenite parents took the long and well anticipated trip to Appleloosa, a family excursion that was supposed to initially be one of the happiest moments for the small group of ponies. With one small hitch.

Half way through the Pinto plains, the train was hijacked by a group of bandits and thieves who ransacked the passengers of their bits and their possesions...though they might've taken more than they had initially bargained for.

Instead of a bundle of some expensive swag they wrassled from a mare's grasp, they were instead left with a baby. The only problem was that a group of stallions had no idea how to look after a foal, so went to the one of the most notorious thieves and bandit circles known in the West.

Along with its equally infamous leader, Mama Ruby. And after a healthy bribing with several bags of their hard earnt swag, the old mare conceeded to taking the little foal under her wing.

When young Desert Rose, as she'd been named by her adoptive family, became a young filly, she was greatly unsure of her role in the group dynamic of the circle. She tried helping with drink serving, polishing spurrs, knife throwing, barrel bucking, hoof to hoof combat and even if she grew in talented in some fields with the help of her own four hooves or her growing magical ability, however minor, nothing seemed to fit the little female. And it seemed for a while that nothing would help her earn her cutie mark.

Only when the youngster began to gain some length to her legs was she allowed to embark on the rite of passage all younger ponies in the circle had to undertake, their first heist.

So along with all the other colts and fillies, Desert Rose went off and performed her first act of thievery from a less than well guarded wagon on its way to the bank of Appleloosa. Admittedly, the two stallions who WERE guarding the wagon, stated after the hijacking that perhaps entering the dessert without a well armored chaperone probably wasn't the wisest move.

Needless to say, the heist went off without a hitch and Desert Rose found her true calling and her cutie mark when she swiped her first bag of bits and found an intoxicating want for the adrenaline of it all...including the bits themselves.

The years rolled on, further heists, hijacking, pick pocketing and train robberies were held and soon Desert Rose grew into a scourge of the Pinto plains. She was a class a thief that got nothing wrong par one extraordinary moment when she lost her eye in a fight with an upstart young law colt and thankfully left with atleast one eye still intact.

Growing an intense loathing for rich, snobby ponies and getting a high from seeing the look on their smug faces. Aswell as the faces of the law enforcement.

And eventually became the leader of the head group of bandits in the circle known as 'Ruby's Gems', along with several other ponies such as Silver Hoof and several others she knew in her youth with the gang's circle.

Desert is a viperous yet seductive pony who knows how to use her feminine wiles in thievery...and if that doesn't work. There's always violence or using her well known rope trick to hog tie ome law ponies.

Short tempered, Desert Rose is often volatile when things aren't going the way she planned, but when things do, she is calm and level headed...sometimes.

Despite such a fiery and explosive temperment, somepony may see a sliver of loneliness, or even confusion that is easily blinded from the eye when a sliver of golden bit comes to sight or when any of her bandit brothers get taken in by the law and that's when she shows an almost protective side to herself. Probably influenced by Mama Ruby...and by the fact if one brother or sister is taken, they might snitch under pressure.

Despite that, she still is what she is.

With no idea of her parents and fully embracing her kleptomanic tendencies, Desert Rose will steal your money and your heart.

Additional Notes:

Magical abilities - Rope manipulation, lock blasting, basic telekinesis and basic light magic (bright flashes, glow, etc).

Fighting abilities - Hoof to hoof combat, knife fighting, barrel bucking and burst speed running.
