Name: Skywhistle
Appearance:
Race: Pegasus
Faction: Stormwing
Skills: Skywhistle is a Hoplite. A Pegasi elite, raised to have more fear for dishonor than for death, therefore is unrelenting, unflinching and totally fearless is battle. She had been trained for most of her waking life in sword, spear and shield, as well as hoof to hoof combat, until she became a master of all of these forms of war.
History: Skywhistle was born into a very old and proud family of pegasi that had been royal guards in the old times, but whose bloodline could be traced uninterrupted from times before even Commander Hurricane. Being of this stock, great things were expected of her. Both of her brothers did not show enough early promise to be trained as much as she was, though they developed and grew into deadly heavy lancers and earned the nicknames 'the Raven' and 'Golemsbane' respectively.
Skywhistele would never receive a nickname, though she did her heritage proud in her first battle, killing forty earth ponies and flying into enemy territory to rescue Stormwing prisoners. She was trained to become a Hoplite after that performance, though many of the officers believed the training would kill her. It did not, and she mastered the sword, shield and spear. She was given the weapons and armor of her new rank, and flew off to her next battle.
It was a raid, on a small village, and it changed her. The Hoplites around her mercilessly slaughtered the civilians and fillies, and set torch to the houses. They looted whatever they could and lay ruin to what they couldn't take with them. Skywhistle's lack of activity was noted and she wasn't sent out as much after that. The officers had a real close eye on her. That's when she began to have the dreams.
With a new sense of destiny, she deserted her Commander and her family and flew to Redheart Refuge. Now she had finally earned a nickname; Skywhistle 'the Disgraced'
Other: She still keeps her hoplite armor, longsword, long spear, and large circular shield, and she keeps her weapons sharpened every day.
