One of the more rare types of pony roaming the world, are the Phoenix Ponies. Products of an ancient magic, the descendants of altered pegasi. They bear vibrant colors mostly, and their tails consist of long feathers of unique pattern to each pony. Their coat is often patterned based on heritage as well. It is not unheard of for them to have blazes or zebra stripes.
They are naturally skilled fliers, and it's said they spend more time in the air than on the ground or clouds. Like their namesake, these hearty ponies have high stamina and some healing qualities. They are not reborn through fire, though they are long-lived and heal quickly. On occasion, groups of them can be found among the other ponies of Equestria. Generally helping pegasi with the weather or putting their flare to use in the cities.
One other ability of these feathered ponies is quite rare. All Phoenix Ponies have a high resistance to heat, though the heart of flames or exceedingly hot surfaces can still burn them. Every so often, though, one of their number is born with a natural power to control fire and a much higher heat resistance. These few are usually highly respected, so long as they do not get too full of themselves.
