The basics…!

Appearance: Cypress stands at a startling 18 hh, although her wingspan from tip to tip is only 15 ft. Her wings may be small, the jet black color not so exciting, but they are wings. She always holds them proud, and true, as Pegasi should hold them. They are the things that set them apart from other equines, and Cypress certainly believes it is so. Her wings are jet black, and they provide a striking comparism to her hooves, which are pure white. They never seem to have any dust or dirt on them, and they shouldn't, because Cypress flies over and sandy or dirty areas, so if you manage to catch a glimpse of her, she is normally flying high above you. Her eyes are emerald green, and she takes great pride in them. Green is the color of nature, the color of wisdom and beauty, and Cypress is often seen proudly showing them off.Look a little deeper…!

Personality: One word? Regal. Cypress has a very high self-esteem and looks down at everyone until they can prove themselves to be worthy of her attention. She never runs, or even trots, but flying is a favorite of hers. She is rather quiet, only saying things if they are needed to be said. She hardly ever compliments anyone besides herself, only giving an approving nod and/or smile. Her voice always contains a smug demeanor, as if everyone is wrong and she is right. Which of course she believes it. She may be a bit cold when you first meet her, but if you prove that you are trying to be a friend, she will be your friend until the end. One thing we can be sure of; her loyalty. She would keep fighting and remain loyal to her friends and kingdom to the very end. Unless you betray her, in which she will show you her wrath.My Criminal background…!
History: Cypress was born from a Pegasus and a Unicorn, although she inherited her mother's wings and not her father's horn, so it was easy to hide her cross-bred history. In the early stages of her life, she was constantly happy and playful like all other equines her age. But when Cypress was barely a century old her mother died, taking her stillborn little brother with her. Her father was heartbroken, and Cypress was too. But she recovered and he didn't, and over the centuries her father grew farther and farther apart from the normal society, before retreating from the world forever. Cypress wasn't too worried about him, however, she thought he would come to his senses one day and return. But as the years went by, forming into decades, and then centuries, he still did not return. This time Cypress really was heartbroken. Her family had all left her, journeying into the portal to death. She almost disappeared from the horse race forever, but she was determined not to end up like her late father, and managed to stay put in Aphamour by self-imposing the punishment of silentness and serious-ness, as she herself said when she was still quite young. Over time, the hole in her heart healed, but she did not revert to her old self. She was older, she understood the pains of the world, and stayed like that, resulting in her personality today, though her ego stayed the same, it was always there, but somehow became more focused and grew during her self-imposed punishment. It wasn't exactly a punishment at first, but she soon began to long for her happy, bubbly self and her charisma with society and equines.
Kingdom: Aphamour
