=Bio=
Personality: Snowbird is a bit...Out there. She's always the first to try something everypony else thought is sure to fail, and often enough it does. However, despite these failures, or possibly because of them, she gained an incredibly persistent attitude, never giving up in the face of adversity. Whenever she went up against something new, she'd always try to figure it out and make it hers, coming up with a new strategy every time she failed. Due to this, she appears somewhat crazy, but her mind would be better described as 'differently wired' than 'wired wrong.'

On the rare occasion when she's not wrestling with a new concept, Snow is surprisingly normal: sociable, relaxed, and a rather heavy drinker. She'll put up with her friends' antics to most extremes, and when things get out of hand she'll set them back on track with a smile and nod. Likewise, she engenders the same trust that lets ponies feel that she'll never give them up, which is true of course.

When fighting to protect anypony she truly cares about, Snowbird loses her happy-go-lucky attitude, instead sadistically making life hell for her opponent. Rather than fighting in person, she enjoys setting up everything around them to fail, believing that causing them to see their dreams whither and die is a much more fitting punishment for whomever dared to offend her. However, she can get carried away, and she's had to be pulled her back more than once before her plans blew up in her face.


History: Snowbird's life has been entwined with the war for far longer than she cares to think. She was born a native Manehattanite, the daughter of one of the proud old families everyone likes to harp on about, and her childhood was quite happy. She attended a nice school, and was beginning to think of attending one of the prestigious colleges in Canterlot when the war broke out and the capital fell. Naturally, this meant she wasn't going anywhere, and so she settled down on her family estate in the hopes that the fight would pass her by. It didn't.

At the battle of Trottingham, word came that a large part of Snow's extended family had been killed in the bombings, and the family couldn't just sit and wait any longer. Her brother went off to fight, and her parents began to supply the Equestrian armies with as much material as they could. Snow, on the other hoof, wasn't possessed with the same natural ability as her brother or what would eventually be her inheritance, and so she continued learning from everypony she could. Blacksmiths, retired guardsponies that hadn't gone back to fight, anyone that could help her design new weapons of war. She studied for over a year, before realizing that even if she knew what she was going to do, she didn't have the financing she would need to make it a reality. The family vault was quickly dwindling, and there was no guarantee that she would get any inheritance at all. This in mind, she took up business for herself, and opened a small printing company in the heart of Manehattan where she continued to experiment and take back Equestria.

Special Skills/Abilities/Spells Descriptions: After years of experimenting with different weapons, Snow's become proficient with several, although she's only really capable of using a longsword in actual combat.
