Here we go again…

[_One of the few non-Pegasus Ponies born and raised in Cloudsdale, Zephyra has always been a driven and determined individual. Following in her parents footsteps, she joined the Legion spellcasters as an adult to gain proper citizenship. A talented magician and raised with the ‘proper’, Pegasus-like mindset, Zephyra quickly rose through the Warlock’s ranks to become one of the youngest Unicorns to ever attain the title of Grand Warlock.

Her upbringing has caused her to get into trouble with ground dwelling Unicorns more than once, and she got banned from the Canterlot Mages’ Convent for several years after challenging one of the Unicornian nobles to a duel that resulted in the collapse of half a wing of the royal castle._]

• Look Zephyra, I’ll try to smooth things out with Princess Celestia and the Unicorn King, but seriously, you will have to apologize to the both of them.
  
• Seriously? What for? If Blueeblood’s so-called mages are too cowardly for a duel, that’s hardly my fault. As for the castle, I can’t believe that its walls aren’t reinforced against magical attacks. Canterlot is the combined capital of Unicornia and Equestria afterall, what are they thinking!?
  
• You should have learned by now that they don’t think like us. That’s why it falls to us to protect them…

New Year, new… things.

Another OC who may or may not play a role in a fic I may or may not be writing.

Tried a few things for her design here, let me elaborate:

• The cloak is supposed to symbolize wings, historically meant to indicate their status as honorary Pegasi, and is part of the standard attire of the warlocks.
  
• There are supposed to be arcane symbols on the cloak to indicate rank, but there obviously aren’t any yet.
  
• The golden bracelet is an artifact given to all non-flying citizens of cloud-cities, it carries a permanent enchantment that allows the wearer to walk on clouds.
  
• I gave her chest fluff. Not entirely satisfied with how it looks though; this was a general style choice (like the fluffy ears) and is not specific to her.
  
• The curved horn is specific to her.
  
• Minor detail: her magic sparkles are tiny heptagrams instead of the usual 4-pointed stars
