Name: Xephyna
Gender: Mare
Age: Twenty years
Generation: Gen 4
Species: Zebra
Location: Primarily Canterlot. Has secondary locations throughout Equestria.
Status: No stated interest
Appearance: This pony is not quite a pony, but rather, a zebra. Typical zebra markings, mohawked mane, and that lovely zebra accent. She moves with the grace of a natural dancer, though her dances are not the sort you want to be her partner for. When she looks at you with her red eyes, you should be able to tell that she's analyzing you. Figuring you out. She wears a set of small saddle bags, full of various bits and pieces she needs for her daily life. She typically carries a bamboo staff, sometimes even during daily life.
Personality: Analyzing, strong minded, and confidant. She speaks with the same grace she moves with, occasionally forming rhymes with her speech. She likes to have her fun, usually in the form of a drink or a bit of a spook. She'll stick close to her trusted allies and friends, supporting them with whatever aid they may need.
History: Xephyr was born in Zebrica, her mother working as an ambassador to Equestria. Because of this, Xephyr got to visit Equestria rather often. She came to enjoy the country, finding it to be rather peaceful and happy. In her teen years, Xephyna's herd had been suffering famine.
Food was in very short supply. In desperation for food, Xephyna began reading through a book of old zebra magic. She was still learning this old zebra language, so when she cast the spell she misplaced several syllables, and the spell was damaged. When she felt the overwhelming craving for meat, she knew she had made a terrible mistake.
She had managed to keep the secret hidden for a good few months, but eventually the famine ended, and Xephyna no longer had an excuse to go on her lone hunts. This is when she started to feel the effects of meat deprivation. She began to feel ill, hearing voices and shaking all over. This carried on until she had almost completely lost control two weeks later.
Xephyna managed to sneak off just long enough to kill and eat an okapi. After eating her fill, she cleaned herself up and went back to the herd, now fully sane again. She knew this could not carry on, so she spoke to the herd shaman for advice. After a long discussion, Xephyna was told that she may be able to live better in Equestria. Though she was hesitant to leave her family and life behind, she agreed to immigrate.
Xephyna ended up settling in Ponyville, due to the proximity to the Everfree in hopes that she'd be able to get the meat she needs.
Other: Xephyna is a skilled fighter in the style of Crimson Stripe.
