Name: Dappled Wings
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Species: Pegasus
Pelt Color: Grey-blue with grey spots
Mane/Tail Color & Style: steel grey, with paler tips.
Eye Color: Silver
Special Features: Her coat is a remarkable result of a spell that went awry while her mother was pregnant.
Cutie Mark: A storm cloud with a raindrop.
Residence: Just above Ponyville, in a cloud house much like Rainbow Dash’s.
Occupation: Weather pony
Talents, Skills: She specialises in storms and rainfall. A strong flier, even in the worst of weathers, though much slower than others. Wind or gale, dragging a cloud into position, she is entirely reliable and knows incredibly well how to choose and position the clouds for the right rainfall.
Likes: Clouds, rain, wind, talking about the weather, talking about clouds and cloud formations…
Dislikes: Hot weather, parties, the ground, ponies who walk away from her, unicorn weather magic, cloud kickers.
Character Personality: Dappled Wings is a dull and rather boring pony, with a less than sparkling wit and intelligence. She can talk all day about her job and how to place clouds and the regulations behind weather such as rainfall, and when is the correct time to allow major storms and when is best to only allow drizzle.
Being of less than average intelligence, she is very easy to persuade and entice, as well as unquestioningly following orders. This makes her the ideal candidate for being the worker who only requires scant motivation- she makes up for her lack of IQ by being an incredibly hard worker, unafraid to pull the bigger clouds.
Her lack of agility prevents her from being a cloud kicker, and somehow, she acknowledges this by being the other end of the spectrum. In fact, she despises cloud kickers for ruining what could be beautiful work, ensuring that she is permanently at odds with the Pegasus known as Rainbow Dash. Though, due to her lack of speed, Dappled Wings barely registers on the mare’s consciousness.
Bio: Her parents were hit by a magical weather spell just over Canterlot when her mother was pregnant, doing no harm but causing some… adverse effects to the unborn child. One was her reduction in intelligence and the other was her beautiful coat, which amazed her mother. They knew, from the very moment she started flying, that she would always love the rain and clouds. When she was younger, she would come back sodden and wing feathers too full of rain to fly any more- sometimes frazzled too from a stray bolt of lightning- or would drag in a small cloud and claim it was a ‘pet cloud’.
As she grew up, she came to understand the way of controlling the weather, and would help out her parents. Her Dad, a thoughtful fellow, helped regulate the rainbow production, while her mother was a cloud quality officer, and they could often find her in the corner with the cloud team, talking to them with impressive knowledge about rainclouds.
Today, she’s moved away from her parents, and has become an incredibly strong flier- all those years of flight camp were worth it- though she’ll never be the fastest. Her love of the wetter weather lingers on, and she’ll still corner the nearest Pegasus to talk about clouds.
