Main Characters[]

Shadow Flare[]

TheFive — *Featured (L-R) Golden Dawn, Cardinal Spitfire, Olive Pit, Deke, Shadow Flare*

Shadow Flare was born in the Turnip Homestead, a cloud farm in the far northern reaches of the Enclave. He grew up learning to work hard no matter what the task and putting others and the community first. Shadow Flare stopped growing early. He is often mistaken for a mare because of his size and voice.

Despite his size, he is as hearty as any other cloud farmer. His endurance is phenomenal. He can't be pushed over or moved, but he can't pull. He can carry heavy weights, even items exceeding his size. All of him is compact farming muscle. He is as hard headed as any of the farmers in his community and won't budge when something needs to be done. He just does it, no matter how long or hard the task. Still, he is not good pegasus for farming because of his size.

Shadow Flare grew up doing acrobatics. He is more familiar with his hooves than his wings. His father, Lance, began training Shadow at an early age. The acrobatics are trained through obstacle courses forcing Shadow to think quick and act fast. That is where he got his Cutie Mark, on the obstacle courses.
