Biography:
Sensei's best friend when he was a colt was a pegasus pony. When she started getting into flight training, Sensei decided he was not going to let her get away that easily. He embarked on an epic quest to learn to fly himself so he could one day join her in the air.
His attempts to do so are the stuff of legend. Helicopters, rocket jets, zeppelins, mechanical wooden wings, and taping hundreds of birds to his back have been tried. Getting something that works and can provide him with enough finesse and control to genuinely compete with a Pegasus is still proving elusive.
Personality:
A daredevil in his heart, a hopeless romantic in his soul, and an inspired genius in his head. Sensei is fun to be around, bumbling in his attempts to prepare for his latest scheme, and always happy to shrug and try again after crashing and exploding for the nine hundredth time.
Sensei is also an excellent teacher. He has researched virtually every topic he can find in hopes of finding an answer for his quest and is happy to pass it on to anyone who'll ask. He spent over a decade mastering the martial arts, for example, after some wire-fu movies gave him the wrong idea.
Relationships:
Father figure to Whitefire. He has a lot of sympathy for people who crash into things. Tends to rope any Pegasus he can find into racing his latest mad invention.
Virtue: Romantic
Flaw: Daredevil
