Name: Swiftfire, named for the patchy scales that adorn her body that resembles flickers of fire as well as her hair.
Swiftfire is the pony version of her birth name which is Xùnsù huǒ (Swift Fire)
Age: She doesn't very much recall her exact age as she has been around for quite some time, at the very least she's been around after the the fall of Nightmare moon; a good hundred years after that. She should be several hundred years old now.
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Species: By pony standards she is a dracony, however in her homelands of the eastern countries she is referred to as a Qilin or more commonly pronounced as Kirin.
Sub-species/race: By pony standards you can call her a pegasus hybrid
Physical Appearance:
Swiftfire is a dragon pony hybrid and reflects this very much so in her 'deformed' appearance. She has a very thin coat of light blue fur that covers her hard blue scales underneath, however some patches of her scales are yellow instead of blue and show through her blue coat randomly across her body. Despite this however she is still considered by some as an elegant and exotic beauty because of her longer body and slim build inherited by her eastern family. Swiftfire has long hair of yellow and orange with long bangs that fall over both sides of her head. She has more physical traits of a dragon then a pony. Like Eastern Dragons she has a tall height and is a little taller then Big Mac, this mostly comes from her neck. Swiftfire also has a long pair of wings made of membrane and delicate bones. Her scales a small, circular and smooth like a blue tongue lizards but are strong. They can protect her against impact but not as well against a blade. The strongest and hardest scales on her body are her underbelly plates, which are hard and non flexible. They can withstand most attacks.
Personality:
Swiftfire has a firm control of her emotions through the long years of her existence and has learned not to let much bother her, there is little that can really get under her scales and rile her up but she can have her moments. She has a high regard to rules and authority as well as duty as was the way she was brought up. She prefers to keep her current work life and personal life separate and isn't one to play favourites when on duty, she wont have any problem taking proper protocol on someone for breaking the law even if they were her friend. She has a thirst for knowledge and a deep respect for wisdom and cares very little on how she is viewed by others, there are limits however as she'd rather keep a positive image for herself. Despite her seemingly neutral exterior she can still be very compassionate if she wanted to and she is wise enough to recognise when it is needed. Swiftfire has a deep understanding of the forces of nature and respects its will and the many forms it comes in.
Special talent: *Contemplating on whether to keep her cutiemark*
Swiftfire special talent is affected by her heritage, her eastern dragon heritage. The dragons she grew up with had the ability to manipulate the land around them, having the power to bend rock, control water and even effect wind currents so that they could fly without wings. Swiftfire has a talent relating to this, in the regard that she is able to manipulate fire. She has the ability to manipulate small pockets of fire to do whatever she wishes, however it is very limited due to her hybridism. Swiftfire can only manipulate fire thats already been created, she cannot breath fire herself. She does have a trick where she snorts out a shoot of very hot air through her nose which she manipulates into fire, it's mostly something she does for show to visualise emotions like anger and it's mostly a subconscious act she does.
Family*: Unknown father, Bi Hua (Blue/Jade flower) mother referred to casually as Hua (flower) tinypic.com/r/14v642q/9( rough concept of mother)
Zǒule (Gone) Deceased sister, Bi Yueliang (Blue Moon) Aunt referred to casually as Yueliang (moon), Jīnsè de Bōwén (Golden Ripple) Uncle casually referred to as Bōwén (Ripple)
Goals, ambitions, aspirations*: Most of her life was lacking such a thing, she's never had much ambition for much anything. She tried setting herself the task to learn as much as she can but thats more a personal interest then something she wants to make something out of. As of right now , her duty is to protect and serve Equestria and especially Celestia as her personal guard.
-currently she is also trying to help her son figure Pyrite Dreams to discover himself
Strengths: Her strengths mostly come from her dragon traits, she has hard scales that protect her from most attacks and keen hearing as well as predator eye sight. Her predator skills are her most useful advantage, her wide knowledge on various subjects also gives her an upper hand on situations.
She's able to focus all her strength into singular attacks which results in quite a punch, this is due to her training in Krav Maga. Example:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjmBPFPTq-g
Obvious weaknesses or vulnerabilities:
Her immune system is a mess as well as some of her inner organs, they do well to keep her alive and somewhat healthy but can be easily damaged especially by external causes like bacteria and physical blows. If it weren't for her sturdy scales she would of died of internal bleeding long ago from her battles. If you want to weaken her efficiently the best target would be her hindlegs as they have the weakest scales and are more fragile like a ponies, taking them out means she won't be able to run away.
She's too alert for her own good, her ears are very sensitive to sound and pick up on a lot of noise. Which is a burden a lot of the time as to Swiftfire it's like hearing a constant buzzing. Sometimes it keeps her up at night, especially living in Canterlot and can put her on unneeded edge.
Emotionally weak about not being able to have her own kids.
She doesn't have that much value on herself. She's not very aware of this herself as she's lived liked this for a long time without anyone telling her that she was even doing it to herself, but during her long years she slowly put less importance in her well being and just herself in general. She would fling herself into danger and be mauled for the sake of someone else and not see the problem of it. She's thinks necessary and more important to save a life then her own. Its not that she has low self esteem ( but she could have her moments) its just that she doesn't see much significance in herself. Its more of a casual disregard for her sake.
History:
Swiftfire's parents were an oddity, they didn't really come together from love but a strange curiosity to explore something new. Both of them came from the country China (or the pony equivalent if you prefer). Not much is known of her father except for the fact that he was a pony who was interested in learning more about dragons for some higher cause, or he was some trader; no one knows for sure. He was never seen again after Swiftfire's mother became pregnant. Her mother was a an Eastern Dragon like all dragons in that area were and was very distant, she didn't show much emotion and was always leaving her flock to explore heaven knows what. Sometimes she'd leave for days, weeks even, but she'd always come back to her flocks traveling camps.
That changed when she became pregnant with two draconies. From her came two eggs, one as blue as the sky. The other dull and almost colourless. A small dracony with wings was born from one of the eggs, however the other stayed motionless. It was clear the other would not hatch and so was abandoned, no one really knows how Swiftfire's mother felt about her children but it was clear that she believed Swiftfire to be the reason her second child didn't hatch and felt some feelings of loss over it. She believed that 'she was too selfish and took the life from her sibling' while she was developing in her mothers womb. After that her mother dumped her in her sisters care and left, never to be seen again.
Swiftfire was named and raised by her aunt and her mate for most of her childhood until she was of age where she was able to live on her own and was considered to have the right to leave the flock and join in adult customs. She never considered her aunt and uncle as her parents and felt that her existence was not very liked by the other dragons in her flock. So when she was old enough and ready to leave, she did. She knew all there was to know about her dragon heritage but was curious to learn about the other half of her heritage, her pony side. It took many long days to find them but eventually she did, a small pony village close to a mountains base.
At first the ponies didn't know what to make of her, she had the eyes and claws of a dragon but looked so much like a young filly. Some ponies were curious about her but they quickly turned mistrusting as time went on, they decided that the unknown was not to be tested and did not put up with her for long. She was usually being chased into the shadows when ponies saw her trying to talk and play with their foals, and soon enough the foals would start turning her away by the word of their parents. Soon Swiftfire realised that there was no home for her in the pony world either and was going to leave, not knowing what to do with her life. But before she could a stranger bumped into her.
He was a new resident and lived away from most of the ponies and closer to the farming fields and the mountain. Swiftfire had only heard rumours about the stallion who lived alone and recluse from everypony else, she had only seen him a few times at the market. But now, here he stood before her offering her a roof over her head at his home. Nervous yet curious she accepted and started living with the ageing stallion. Later on she would learn that he was a self defence teacher and would later start teaching her the arts of it as well as many other things like writing and speaking the pony language.
The two became very close and despite the Master, Student dynamic they still very much considered each other family. Because of her Master the ponies of the village began to tolerate her more, especially after learning their language but Swiftfire had already stopped caring about them. The only pony she cared about then was her Master, she had no desires to stay in that village anymore and only did so to care for her ageing Master who died later on in her very young teens years (in dragon terms)
She no longer had a reason to stay and soon left after mourning for her Master. Through her years Swiftfire had developed an interest in knowledge and learning whatever she could find. Her Master could only teach her so much so she had often surrendered her mind to many books he would provide for her. Her love for books and knowledge only grew now that she had the freedom to explore new lands, and thats what she did for a very, very long time.
Swiftfire explored many lands and learned many things, like old cultures, ancient languages, fallen empires and many other new findings. Some she learned from interacting with the new lands and people and exploring many parts of their lives, others she picked up from books she'd find. In most cases she'd rather not directly interact with ponies but sometimes she'd get over her stigma and mingle with the current time until eventually she let go of her past bias. Swiftfire was still known to interact with other species more but now she didn't try to avoid pony kind.
The dracony has seen many things in her time and witnessed a few historical moments, however now she has come to a period where she wishes to just stay in one place for a while. To root herself to one spot for a few years and reconnect with her pony origins. And so she moved to Equestria. She travelled through the lands to familiarise herself with the time and the people before finally settling into Canterlot, where she enrolled herself into the guard not knowing what else to do. She found her self defence skills more useful and decided to use it to protect others.
Because of her advance skills she quickly rose in the ranks and was even promoted to Captain, she was given the charge to train the new cadets for a while and is still sometimes called in to teach the newbies the ropes. Because of her high work ethic and skills she was later offered the position of personal guard of Princess Celestia by the princess herself. Now, Swiftfire works loyally by her side and does her best for Equestria.
RP history:
-Later on the owner of the dracony island business, Gold Mine, proposed an agreement with her. His son, Platinum Vein, was loosing control of his dragon urges and since she was well knowledgable on dragon behaviour he had hired her to help the young boy control himself. With the help of her Masters meditation teachings she was able to successfully help Platinum overcome his urges and take better control. However was fired after a fight between the two and Platinum's father. The two managed to grow a close bond and Swiftfire found herself feeling very fond of the boy and attached, despite being fired she made it a point to still be in his life. After more drama Platinum Vein abandoned his family legacy and was practically disowned by his father. Swiftfire did not hesitate to help him during this time and offered her home to him. Now she's trying to help him discover himself.
- Swiftfire reconnected with one of her old cadets, Ebon Heart, during a night patrol and was able to rekindle their sudo friendship. Through working more shifts together the two grew to become better friends and work loyally by their princesses side as well as each others.
- An important meeting was held in the castle to form a treaty with a foreign nation that had not been heard for quiet some time. Both Princesses attended the treaty as well as their personal guards Swiftfire and Ebon Heart. The meeting was proposed under the rule that no magic was to be used due to the foreign nations displeasure with magic. However during the meeting Luna accidentally used magic and caused the foreign guards to attack, Swiftfire in order to protect Celestia put herself between them and took a hit. It wasn't anything serious but a small gash was torn into her cheek. When the meeting continued after everyone calmed down Swiftfire surprisingly still vouched for the foreigners and brought new information about them to the table.
Place of Residence: She currently lives in a decent home in Canterlot
Other*:
- Her mother did not name her, only her unhatched sibling
- Her uncle didn't like her much at first and it took time for her to grow on him, afterwards he started teaching her the ways and politics of their flock and started her love of knowledge
- She always refers to her family as their family title, i.e Mother, Aunt, Uncle as was the custom of the time. Since she considered her master as family she does the same for him and refers to him as Master.
-A quirk of hers is that she likes experiencing new things, like food, celebrations etc
-She can speak fluent traditional Chinese and is decent at speaking modern Chinese, although she still has to brush up on it. Her pony is good too and she is knowledgable on a few other languages but not that many and not that well
- He Master, Strike, came from Israel and moved to China
- She is a master in Krav Maga, which she learned from her Master who is also a master in it.

- After the treaty mishap she now has a small gash on her right cheek
-She is sterile and can never have children
- Because of her dragon tendencies she is a very good saver, but lacks the greed of other dragons and so doesn't do it for greedy reasons or any forms of pleasure. She doesn't hoard, she just knows how to keep things for herself thanks to a dragons need to collect and uses it for her own useful benefit.
-But she can appreciate a pretty gem from time to time, although she has a higher preference for jades
- She would like to move into the mountains next to Canterlot where its quieter but feels that she needs to stay closer to the castle and is on the fence about the idea
-The first pony village she encountered were a little frightened by her appearance, some claimed her to be some sort of deity, others believed her to be a demon. The village (now more developed and larger) still tell tales of the village demon although the truth of her as been long forgotten. Some use her as a boogie tale to discipline their children into obedience, while others use her in more heart warming folktales. Many of her tales involve her relationship with her Master. Only a few of the villagers believe her to be real
-She spent her time in the village living in the shadows of the cottages and relied on the kindness of the ponies to feed her since she was still a learning hunter. She never stole from the ponies and only took what they gave her, which was usually just food scraps or a swift beat to the head. Some were kind and gave her proper food, but no pony ever let her enter their homes in fear of bad karma. Her Master was the first to give her both.
