Newmoon: "Wait- What? I get to post about my life? Well here I go... *clears throat*"

View attachment 8101

Hello. My name is Newmoon Winter, but most ponies call me Newmoon, Moon, or even Moony. I'm a 26 year old Unicorn, and the fifth seat Lord of the Noble Court in my hometown of Canterlot. I'm also a member of the Secret Protectors of the Canterlot Royalty (SPOCR), a group that fights the more malevolent forces that want to destroy Equestria.

I bear the Amethyst Emblem of Friendship around my neck, in which I never take off. It lets me communicate to the other bearers, and allows me to quickly hone into their location, should they ever need help. My emblem has been transformed into a golden circlet, with an amethyst crescent moon in the center, all thanks to the Tree of Harmony.

From my final battle against Dark Pandora, it seems like Pandora's chest took my Alicorn form... I guess I was destined to remain a Unicorn... Tho for some reasons I haven't lost all the powers I once had as an Alicorn.

I guess you could say I'm sort of the leader of my group, book smart and a little bit nerdy, but still someone that you'd want to hang out with. I wont hesitate to give it my all when it comes to protecting those whom I care for, even to the point of sacrificing my own life.

I was mostly home schooled. My 2000 year old grandfather before he passed away taught me how to read, write, mathematics, science, stitching up wounds, work a forge, magic, enchantments, herbology, and hoof-to-hoof combat. Though, I was enrolled into Princess Celestia's school for gifted unicorns, but I didn't pass the entrance exam. She mentored to me for a while until gramps died, then I hoofed my way to white tail woods and continued training on my own.

As you can see from my picture I have a very earthy palette, brown coat, green mane and tail... I wear golden armor. It was a family heirloom from during the Ancient Alicorn War. it was also worn when Fort Neighers was being attacked by terror. I finally got what mother promised me in her will, the Golden Blitz. This armor is made of pure gold... Yeah I know what you are going to say,"Oh it's not that strong.." Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's a lot stronger than it looks, it had to be during the ancient Alicorn War. This armor has several enchantments to protect it's wearer from basic attack spells, melee attacks, and will never break. It's adorned with three sapphires; two on the wing plates, and one on the head piece... Oh, and on the chest piece has an onyx crescent moon over top an emerald star. It kind of surprises me that the armor fits me perfectly, as if it was destined for me... A-anyways, I got this armor from a relative of mine, by the name of Lady Moonfire... Recently I received the pair of my father's diamond and amethyst bracelets, the one's he wore on the day they died. There's a familiar air around them, that's comforting for some reason...

My cutie mark is a black crescent moon over a tower colored stars. I used to get teased a lot for the fact my cutie mark looked similar to Luna's, like being called Lunabutt...

I mainly wear space enhancement enchanted cloaks, which I use instead of a saddle bag. I have different colors and fabrics of cloaks, tho I really have to get Rarity to make me new ones for the fact I've out grown them.

My Choice of weapon would by the "Armonie", a silver blade with a golden winged hilt. This sword can only be wielded by the Alicorn of its choosing. It was created by Conflux's family. I also wield my mother's old claymore, the "Flame Haze".

I recently acquired one of the ancient gem weapons, "Violet Friendship", a heavyblade with an amethyst hilt and guard, and a violet colored blade. I can split this blade down the middle to form a giant boomerang, which works well as a long ranged weapon.

Yet another gift from the Tree of Harmony is, well what I call the keystone weapon of harmony, The Crystalline of Friendship.

In our last efforts to defeat Dark Pandora once and for all, my Flame Haze claymore, Crystalline of Friendship bustersword, and Violet Friendship heavyblade fused together into a rainbow crystalline heavyblade, which I gave the name of the "Harmony Blade".

Whitefang "Jot", my most trusted assistant who helps me with my paperwork, sending my letters and reports to the Princesses, and a bunch of other stuff. He's a black ice dragon with white spines and emerald green eyes.

What? Where do I live?

Well, I just finished rebuilding and enchanting my house just off of the main road through White Tail Woods. It's not exactly the look I was going for, but at least I have a working lock, and an outside gate. It has a very spacious dinning room; a kitchen fit for royalty; a large party room, which I use as a great hall; my very own audience hallway which precedes, what I call my throne room; my three-level library on the third floor, along with my regal-style bedroom and master bathroom; I rearranged the guest bedrooms to be on the second floor, in which I now have 26 of, each having their own bathroom; and finally I did some remodeling of my basement cavern... My basement is that much bigger, about 4 or so mile radius. The areas closest to the stairwell is my enlarged spell caster's room. Down a ways from that is my rather large smithy, with a magma furnace and steam-powered bellows. The final area is his training grounds which surround the house part of my basement. It contains a lake area; forest area; mountain area with the volcano to the south end; and desert area. Here are the floor plans of my new home ( http://ninvantarus.deviantart.com/gallery/49670692 ).

I also inherited my grandfather's estate, which is located close to the royal palace in Canterlot. It's a two floor sprawling manor, complete with it's own extensive library, and hidden forge. It is also where I grew up in.

I mainly live off of the inheritance of my grandfather and parents, a vault with a space enhancing enchantment full of bits.

----------------------------------------------------------

Huh? Really... You want to know what type of magic I know?

There's too many to actually list, so I'll just name a few that I'm learning the advanced levels of: teleportation, levitation, enchantments, compression, gravity, float, elemental.

I received an ability from the Tree of Harmony, which allows me to strike harmony into corrupt hearts purifying the corruption.

I'm always learning new spells from Black Winter's manuscripts as well as reading Starswirl's old coded scrolls.

---------------------------------------------------------

I guess my knowledge of magic, potions, and healing herbs would be my more notable skills.

My Special Talent: Harmony within those whom I hope would do the right thing.
Yeah I know, kind of cryptic... but it sort of fits with who I am.

----------------------------------------------------------

[sigh]... You asked for it... *takes a deep breath*

let’s start with the time before the Ancient Alicorn War that almost wiped out the Alicorns.

I’ll start with my mother’s side of the family.

Queen Solar Winds, you could say this is where the connection to the royal family starts. She was in the same league as King Nebula and Queen Solaria, being a Celestial Alicorn and all… anyways, she married somepony named Thundering Blitz, where my mother’s maiden name comes from. They had twins. Grandblade, who for some reason had the same cutie mark as me, he was a wizard at magic, and could use swords most ponies would only dream of wielding. His sister, Glimmering Hope, could sense when a pony needed to be uplifted or moral support; she also was masterful at magic, first discovering void magic at a young age.

Then came the Ancient Alicorn War, see what started it all was this invention Grandblade created to make more land for everypony, what he called the Terranova, it shot a beam into a volcanic fisher making under water volcanoes erupt forming new islands… it sort of went haywire and started teleporting around destroying one section after another… his sister was amongst the countless who were lost. It came down to Grandblade’s son, Prince Hurricane Blitz, and his nephew, Lunar Blizzard to stop the awful machine from causing any more damage. While the many factions fought amongst each other, the three of them did all they could to slow down the machine.

Near the climax of the war, Blizzard’s dear friend, Elementis, tore open a portal, blizzard took it up on himself to push the weapon into the portal as it closed. The Blitz family went into hiding to escape from persecution. On that day they lost their royal title, becoming fifth seat nobility to the royal family. Many Alicorns were lost during that was, making their race almost non-existent except for the few who were in hiding, or being protected by the 'Guardians'.

Many long years later Lord Hurricane Blitz had a daughter, Crescent, my mother, who showed potential in the use of magic, like Solar Winds, which I guess has been passed down to me…

Now, onto my father’s side of the family…

You see my grandfather, Black winter was 2527 years old. and was one of the original elites who protected Celestia and Luna when they were foals alongside his third cousin eight times removed, Starswirl the Bearded. He befriended a young Alicorn colt by the name of Elementis, and taught him many skills… well during that time; I ended up meeting both of them when Porcelain and I used her TARDIS to get one of gramp’s books. Anyways, he was one of the medical unicorns who tended the injured during the tail end of the Great Alicorn War. Witnessed Luna being banished to the moon, and saw her return. He married a rather well off, mare who went by the name of Amethyst Rose. They soon had three colts, Silver, my father, Ember, Comet’s father, and my well off uncle Maximillion.

Now onto my history...

I was born into a noble family, my Alicorn mother, Lady Crescent Blitz; my unicorn father, Silver Winter; my Alicorn brother, Silvertongue Winter – who left after I was born; my 2527 year old unicorn grandfather, Black Winter; and lastly there’s me, Newmoon Winter, the most talented in my family, not self-proclaimed. We lived in a nice estate close to the Canterlot Palace, my grandfather had been part of a secret group of elite wizards, fighters, enchanters and blacksmiths, to battle the most dangerous creatures and keep all of Equestria safe.

My life, you could say was pretty normal, that is, until I moved to White Tail Wood. It’s been five years since my parents met their end in the Everfree Forest, it was the one and only time in a hundred years that anypony was killed by a Timberwolf. It was also the day when I got my cutie mark, and when I discovered my true potential. From that point on, my grandfather took care of me, teaching me how to read, write, mathematics, science, stitching up wounds, work a forge, magic, enchantments, herbology, and hoof-to-hoof combat. Growing in confidence, Black enrolled me into Celestia’s School for gifted unicorns, but alas I couldn't pass the entrance exam. Even though I didn’t pass the entrance exam, I showed enough talent to be mentored by the princesses. You see, every day I got to go see Princess Luna and Celestia for private magic lessons, which made some of my old classmates jealous. There, I was taught the more shall we say advanced forms of magic. Being a bookworm, Twilight and I were like two peas in a pod, always learning new things, hate being tardy, and have a great group of friends. To top it all off, I was teased because of the fact my cutie mark was strikingly similar to Princess Luna’s.

With my grandfather dead, and my studies reaching their peak, both princesses sent me to White Tail Wood, to continue my studies on my own. At that point it was the day before the Hearth’s Warming Eve play, all of Ponyville was getting ready for festivities. In Black’s will, half of his possessions went to me and the other half went to my Pegasus cousin, Comet. Periodically my cousin comes and visits me. Then there's Subbass Blitz, my annoying DJ cousin who recently moved to Ponyville. His love of his turntables mostly out way the amount of friends he has...

Who would’ve thought it was my first encounter with Conflux, as well as my first battle… Here it is, a year and a half later and quite a bit has happened: defeating a chaotic Alicorn and a black chaotic dragon; beating creepy smiling ponies; fought against a faction calling themselves the Dark Army; and my most recent battle against Dark Pandora.

I may* look youn*g, but I *have more potential a*nd knowledge that su*rpasses my age.

Anyways, that's pretty much it... Sorry for the long biography.
