Name: Bitter Herb

Title: Unbreakable

Race: Pegasus (Islander Variant)

Appearance: Bitter is a tall pegasus with a skyblue coat and wings. Her mane is a cropped cut of lavender with pink highlights with bangs that end just above a pair of simple glasses and frightningly intense eyes of a storming sea. Her build is lean yet muscular, most of her body is toned with scars covering various places. The most exotic thing about this rough and tumble pegasus is her wings, they're more than twice the average wingspan of a pegasus! It seems to be a trait shared within her family that reaches back generations.

She carries a pair of old saddlebags that are equipped with various survival gear, books on plants, maps, and a bag of bits. The only weapon she carries with her are her hooves, and a solid set of heavy horseshoes that seem built for defence

Age: 25

Skills: Bitter is a pony trained in a variety of skills, ranging from cookery to herbology. More specifically she's been trained since young to handle herself in a kitchen, has a natural affinity with nature and herbs, a good grasp of cartography, and a solid mastery of hoof-to-hoof combat, namely the Soul of the Forest Style.

Her time as a member of the intelligence teams that moved information to various rebel groups during the Long Summer has given the mare a good grasp of tactics for dealing with a group, as well as how to generally avoid danger and stay alive in the wilds.

Biography: Bitter Herb was born on an island far off the shores of Equestria and as such had managed to avoid the general unease that built up towards the Long Summer. Her parents were both kind to her, even if her mother would occasionally lock herself away when an experiment demanded her attention. She lived in a decent sized village above a bustling resteraunt, which is incidently where she learned to cook and about the general effect of herbs and spices. The filly was a stubborn little thing and had a rather volatile temper, which her parents were able to work around simply because they knew how to deal with her.

Her cutie mark came one day when she had surprised her parents in bed with a generous helping scrambled eggs stuffed with herbs and spices. From there the little filly begain to learn and attend lessons on a variety of subjects. This also brought her into contact with a lot of other colts and fillies, where her stubborn and crash attitude, alongside the temper she had yet to master, caused her to get into many fights and scuffles.

Fearing the worst for their angry and stubborn child, Ocean Breeze and Bitter Taste saught the advice of an old stallion named Stone Strike. The Earth Pony of considerable girth and age asked to take the filly in as a student and teach her hoof-to-hoof in an attempt to give Bitter Herb the discipline she would need to make it as an adult, her parents agreed and Bitter was soon learning an odd style called the Soul of the Forest. The incidents soon stopped as Bitter Herb learned to control her temper for the most part, though the filly still had a pretty nasty mouth when the fires of her anger were stoked.

Sadly things were not meant to go this well in anyponies life, for as the Long Summer entered it's second year, tragedy soon struck their town in the form of two incidents. First, Stone Strike lost his son to violence. Violence that was done to him by his own daughter, Sure Strike. The pegasus left the island very soon after that catastraphe with her faithful friend, Mask. The second incident was far more close to home in Bitter's case. Her mother, her energetic and brilliant mother was struck down by an illness that none could cure.

Stricken with grief and not wanting to allow her anger to sully her mothers good name, Bitter Herb left the island and headed for Equestria. There she was dragged into the Long Summer and spent eight long years working in intelligence by carrying information through enemy territories to the scattered rebellions against Iron Hoof. It was during these years that Bitter happened upon a dying stallion and learned something that broke her so tightly controlled temper.

This stallion had been part of a plot to assassinate key individuals who posed a threat, among them, was Ocean Breeze, Royal Artificer to the Kingdom of Equestria. He soon died as Bitter tried to get more out of him, taking what he knew with him. As the Long Summer drew to a close, Bitter Herb continued to look for more information on her mother's assassination but had only managed to find that the order had come from far up the food chain in Equestria's royalty.

She struck a dead end in her search and was forced to drop the desire for vengence for a more sorely needed desire to survive. Bitter started to hire herself out as a bodyguard, eventually making the aquaintence of Pulp Fiction.

Personality: Bitter is a tempermental, brash, loudmouthed, prideful, and all over blunt and opinionated pony. She's also loyal to her friends, softspoken when she needs to be, and disciplined enough to reign in her temper when she needs to. She likes to tease her friends but learns the limit soon enough.

Relationships: Currently a Bodyguard to Pulp Fiction.

Cutie Mark: A sprig of sage.


Question, did Windy, the pegasus that was hiding under the bed manage to fall down or is still up?
