“	Sometimes, I feel as if I am an earth pony and that my stripes are really great wounds.	”
– Xenith regarding her race

Xenith is a zebra mare and former Fillydelphia slave. Xenith first met Littlepip as an opponent in Fillydelphia's fighting arena, the Pit.

Background

Xenith's great grandparents were survivors of Stable 3, a failed stable made up of a mix of ponies and zebras. The residents of the stable traveled across the Equestrian Wasteland, attempting to learn more about lost zebra history. Her grandparents did the same, eventually gathering an extensive knowledge of zebra alchemy, which they passed on to Xenith along with other lost zebra skills.

Modern Day

Xenith is captured by slavers at some point and brought to Fillydelphia. She pretended to be mute(to discourage her slavers from wanting to cut her tongue out) and silently endured years of torture, rape, and hard labor before entering the Pit and earning a fierce reputation as a gladiator. When facing Littlepip, she almost killed the little mare, but was knocked unconscious and rescued by her during the escape attempt. When she regained consciousness, Xenith decided to help Littlepip, to whom she now owes a life-debt, even carrying Littlepip on her back when she was too weak to move. Along with the help of a very irradiated Pyrelight, the two manage to kill a Super Alicorn before being trapped and recaptured by Red Eye. When Calamity, Velvet Remedy, and SteelHooves capture Stern, they ransom her back to Red Eye in exchange for Littlepip and Xenith's freedom.

Xenith is revealed to have a daughter, Xephyr, who was spared by the slavers and left in Glyphmark. While in the vicinity of Canterlot, Xenith helps rescue her daughter's village. She later teaches the zebras of Glyphmark how to make certain drugs to stimulate the town's economy through trade.

Xenith, now traveling with Littlepip, has proven to be a very valuable asset. Her knowledge of zebra alchemy has saved them on more than one occasion, even once being used to save Velvet Remedy's leg after it is severed by a Hellhound. After entering the Everfree Forest with the gang, Xenith is attacked by the Killing Joke and forced into a crude cast of clotted blood by Littlepip. She was in critical condition but survived, following a dangerous operation by Life Bloom.

She fights at the battle of Fillydelphia along with her daughter with one goal in mind. The two are there to kill Stern, a personal enforcer and slave task master of Red Eye, as well the one responsible for the plight of Glyphmark and death of Xenith's husband. During a violent fight, Stern tries to escape, but is pursued by Xenith, using a Bloodwing Talisman to grant herself a pair of wings. Despite that, Stern uses her natural air superiority to defeat Xenith, though not without getting her arm shattered in the process. Stern fails to account for Xephyr's attack however, and is killed.

Traits

Personality

Xenith cannot stand any form of physical contact and usually responds violently, even to something as friendly as a hug. This is due to the torture she endured in Fillydelphia and on incident in particular where she is raped with the horn of a dead unicorn. She is also unwilling to receive medical attention because of this, but eventually warms up to Littlepip's gang.

Xenith is notable for being selfless and kind-hearted. Although keeping up a guise of being mute, she gives heartfelt apologies to her opponents before she kills them. After Littlepip saved her life, she was immensely grateful and made sure to return the same favor. When Velvet Remedy was about to be attacked by Killing Joke plants, Xenith pushed her aside without hesitation and was nearly killed. Despite her grievous injuries, she made sure to warn the others about the dangerous plant before falling unconscious.

Appearance

Xenith is not described in great detail, but it is known that she has a black and white striped coat and mane like all zebras. She bears many scars, both physical and emotional, from the unspeakable horrors of Fillydelphia. Littlepip and Homage apparently finds Xenith attractive in a rugged sort of way.

Skills

Xenith is an elite fighter and a master in unarmed combatant. She has perfected Fallen Caesar Style, an elegant and savage zebra fighting style taught to the Zebra Caesar's guards. She can also perform a special hoofstrike which temporarily paralyzes its target. She uses her mastery of stealth and unarmed fighting to silently and quickly dispatch opponents. Her combat skills are so great she is even able to take down armored Steel Rangers and Hellhounds.

In addition to her fighting skills, Xenith is also a very skilled alchemist. She is capable of brewing several kinds of useful potions and poultices that have a wide variety of uses, from healing potions to poultices that allow her to walk silently across ceilings.

Relationships

Littlepip - Xenith accepts Littlepip as responsible for her, much like a mother would care for a child. Xenith also feels obligated to aid Littlepip in any way she can, namely potion making and stealth techniques.

Calamity - Calamity has shown an instant liking for Xenith who returns the feelings respectfully.

Velvet Remedy - She gets on well with Velvet Remedy, and was responsible for the miraculous recovery of her hoof. Later on, Xenith selflessly pushed Velvet Remedy aside to save her from the killing joke plant and was in turn nearly killed.

SteelHooves - Xenith had great respect for Steelhooves regardless of his apathy towards zebras.

Homage - Xenith initially doesn't like Homage due to her possession of a Star blaster. This fear comes from Zebra lore in which Nightmare Moon and anything born of the stars is viewed as evil. She eventually begins to respect Homage when she realizes why Homage keeps it locked away.
