Appearance- A very tall, overly skinny unicorn. Her mane is a
bright red and her coat a bright orange. Her mane and tail are
mid length but quite shaggy and messy most of the time, simply
because of her being too lazy and tired most of the time to
really care. Her eye's are a dull yellow, which matches up with
her magic. She is rarely ever without the large light brown
saddle bag strapped to her. The only time you will see her
without it is when she is wearing her long black cloak which
covers all of her other then her neck and head, and when she
puts the hood up it covers that as well. Using it to cover the
large burn marks on her back, a side effect of her pain killers
messing with her magic.
Backstory- Born to a family of fire wielding unicorns Tinder
always felt not quite right there. They lived quite far from any
towns so her family was all she knew for the first few years of
her life. She was home schooled and taught only fire magic,
other then the basic spells. Tinder could never get the hang of
it, she would always end up getting burned whenever she tried
it. One day while studying in her room, doing the same spells
she's tried a thousand times before, trying to get the hang of
simply lighting a small log on fire; a basic thing in her
family. But instead of lighting it on fire she ended up freezing
all the moisture in the log. She didn't understand what she had
done but she kept doing it, practicing in secret because it was
so easy compared to fire magic. After a couple weeks of
practice, becoming fairly skilled in the craft of freezing
things and making ice, she got her cutie mark. She quickly
covered it the best she could, wearing large shirts and cloaks
around the house to hide it. But unfortunately that didn't work
for very long. Her family saw this and realized what she could
do, they thought this was appalling and they removed her from
the household because of it. Leaving her to wander alone as a
child.
After being disowned by her family she wandered for a while,
practicing her magic while searching for a new home. She found
one soon enough, she had managed to make her way to Manehattan,
where a group of homeless took her in and raised her. They
taught her how to steal, helped her get food and took care of
her they best they could. She kept practicing her magic and
eventually could make statues of ice, and the more she
practiced, the more elaborate these statues became. As time went
on she found ways to support herself, selling things she stole,
selling ice sculptures for events. Soon enough she had enough to
get herself an apartment, though far from a good one. Just
something to keep her off the streets, and to help the people
who had taken care of her for all those years. She lived in that
apartment for a fairly long time, continuing to steal and
pickpocket to help keep the place going, even though she had a
proper job at a restaurant at this point in her life. With
stealing came trouble though, trouble with the law, trouble with
stealing from the wrong people. And with said trouble came
injuries, bad ones. It's because of these injuries that she
started taking pain killers and never stopped. When her own
magic started going on the fritz and causing her injuries, she
never thought it could be the pain killers and just started
taking more to dull the pain.
After living there till she was around 23 she had enough money
to finally get out of there and move to somewhere nice,
somewhere that no one knew her yet. And that's why she moved to
Ponyville. Living in a ramshackle of a house on the edge of
town. Though her thievery is still a main source of income, and
she needs it to try to keep herself out of trouble with the not
so nice people she buys her pain killers from.
So now she's 26, still trying to figure out her way in this
place. Finally taking time to travel and to actually enjoy
herself.
Abilities- Make her own weapons from ice, pick pocketing,
creating ice/ freezing things.
Weaknesses- Certain injuries that she keeps hidden. Her
struggles to sleep because of nightmares often leaves her
exhausted. Inability to be in overly hot climates.
Fears- Fire. The people she buys her pain killers from coming
after her. Her family.
