Name: Wind Strider
Gender: Male/Stallion
Age: 20
Generation: FiM
Species: Pegasus
Location: Canterlot
Status: Single, unknowingly interested in somepony.
Appearance: A dark-blue pegasus with a black mane and brown eyes, he appears as a more athletic pony. His physique is one borne of constant speed drills and exercises in stamina and endurance under harsh conditions. His Cutie Mark is a moon with Princess Luna's visage silhouetted upon it, with a Honeysuckle plant sprouting up beneath the moon as if cradling it, the flowers of the planet blooming on either side of the moon.
Personality: Strider is a friendly sort, almost always approachable and always watching out for others, whether he knows them or not. Despite this very outgoing way of thinking, he's not all that social and usually keeps to himself, save for a select few in a small group of friends, who are also his co-workers. He's very cautious of his words and a very calm and collected pony, thinking before acting his mainstay in life, only moving to act before thinking things through if it's an absolute emergency.
History: When Strider was first born, he was born into a homeless family. Knowing they couldn't possibly raise a newborn foal all on their own, they gave him up for adoption, and the Equestrian Foster Care system took care of the rest from there.
From house to house he went, never truly having any real parents until he was around ten years of age, and even then his foster parents didn't much care for him for one very specific reason: he was a blank-flank. The moment he was old enough, he began working, doing odd jobs here and there, feeling as if he were simply asleep, and dreaming awake all through his life. Nothing held much meaning for him.
Once he was sixteen, he enrolled himself into the Royal Guard, desperate to get away from his foster parents. Given his daily exercise regimen and calm demeanor, he quickly found himself in various roles under the strict role of a Royal Guard. Finally, he found himself finding some kind of direction in his life, some meaning, and it began to change him.
He began to be more friendly, more social and talkative when spoken to. He found like-minded ponies that wanted to work as hard as he did to get themselves into peak physical condition, all for their own reasons, but regardless he had training partners now! But still, even with all of this, he was still a blank-flank, something that constantly grated on him.
That last true issue with his life changed when Princess Luna returned. He was 18 years old at that time, and he had many good marks on his performance in the Royal Guard. Thus, when the Royal Guard was divided between Celestia's Division and Luna's Division, he was hoof-picked to join Luna's Division. That was when he laid eyes on the Princess of the Night. In that single moment, his Cutie Mark appeared, and even he didn't know the reason. Neither did anypony else....but it became clear to him, once he realized just exactly what his position was, why it had appeared.
After getting situated as the Captain of his own flight squad, he was brought before the two Princesses along with three other ponies. It was then that he realized, he was to be Princess Luna's personal guard along with the other three there, the highest of honors he could have ever expected. When he asked how he could possibly have gotten such a job, he was told that it was his dedication and love for this job that made him perfect for the position. Thus, he gladly accepted. He has been standing tall as one of the fastest Pegasi in the Royal Guard ever since.
Other: Not really anything else to indicate about him....
