Description

Falcon is one of several OC ponies of mine.  I did use a base to draw this, but I did not remember to copy the link to the base. If you find this base, please let me know so I can credit its original artist properly!
Due to the fact that the original base did have a background, I tinted the background dark.

Name-Falcon Firelight
Age-19 years of age
        Birthday- 15 May</span>
Type-Pegasus mare
Cutie Mark- A chocolate brown feather with an opaque white swirl around it three times. This represents her astonishing speed and her agility in the air.

Wingpower- 16.9
Top Speed- 760 mph (sonic rainboom at 761.2 mph)

A beige pegasus pony with darker spots all around her body. She somewhat resembles an off-colored cow. Her wings are also oddly colored, the right being the lighter shade and her left darker. Her eyes are soft and welcoming, they look like discs of melted caramel. She likes to pull her dark rose hair into a messy bun, to keep it out of her face and untangled in the wind. Her tail she tends to leave loose and windblown. She also wears a dark headband to pull back her bangs, but more often than not the small wisps of hair slip out from beneath it and rest again on her forehead. She also wears a pair of loose black bangles on her front left hoof, given to her by her mother, Calypso Dawn on her 15th birthday to remind her always of her family's love. They are made of a black metal, not simply painted dark.

Her personality is much like her appearance- sweet, tough, and peppy. Falcon has a big heart and big eyes, finding herself unable to hold a grudge but easy to get angry. She is a bit cynical sometimes, often pessimistic, and every once in a blue moon can be downright depressed. She also has a tendency to be rather blunt with words. Falcon never tries to insult anypony (and is immediately regretful when she does) but seems to lack most of the brain-to-words filter other ponies use. She tells it like she sees it. Yet despite her ability to wound others, she seems to be immune to injuries inflicted on her. Falcon has learned to put on an impassive mask if anypony tries to insult her, but even if they hurt her a little she has a core of steel. Her mother explained it like this- she has a fairly weak sheet-metal outside, a layer of soft stuff that can get hurt, and them a core of unbreakable iron. The iron in her center is her iron will and bright spirit. Stubborn and passionate, proud and loving, one can never be exactly sure what to expect from Falcon. She has a dark and serious side, intense to the point that it is scary, and then she also has a little bit of a prankster and comedian in her. However, the one thing that can always be counted upon from Falcon is her dedication. Loyal to her friends, dedicated to her work, true to her word, that is the one constant to her personality.

Falcon Firelight is a mare born and bred in Cloudsdale, among the sweetest and elitest fliers in all of Equestria (and beyond, she would add). In fact, her youth was filled with famed fliers visiting her father, Obediah, a rather renowned race announcer for the Wonderbolts. He had retired upon the birth of his daughter, but the name Firelight remaned synonymous with race expertise. A second benefit of having been a Wonderbolts announcer was the ability to very accurately predict the outcome of races. While Falcon was enjoying her first few months of life, her father was at the racetrack betting booths raking in the bits. Thus, the Firelight family came to be quite well-off and ther affluence in Cloudsdale rose to impressive proportions. Falcon was subsequently raised a rather spoiled filly. Her ever-proud father was quick to show off his beautiful (and speedy) daughter to everypony coming through their door. He allowed her to sit in on all of their conversations. Nothing was denied to his "little bird". She became something of a daddy's girl, and held no shame for it. Her little brother, Dustin Terram, was Falcon's greatest playmate as she grew up. Despite his talent for irritating her and his disinterest in racing that always rankled her, Falcon and Dustin have remained close friends throughout the years. Their paths have now separated, but they still live nearby each-other in Cloudsdale and do many things as a pair. They are so close, in fact, that Dustin still annoys her with his goofball attitude.

When she grew to the schoolpony age, Falcon was initially sent to Cloudsdale Primary. However her short tenure there was difficult and roughly tore away the protective shield of her world. The other fillies and colts there were nice enough, they did not tease her or bully her in any way, but the teacher thought she was a spoiled brat and put Falcon down repeatedly. She even went so far as to insult her father, which was the final whack that sent her running home. Falcon's father heavily sympathized with his daughter but he also believed in a strong education. Despite all of her pleas and tears, Falcon was shipped off to a multi-species boarding school in Seaddle. Her her daddy's girl mentality and pride were cut down to size by strict rules, tight schedules, and merely acceptable surroundings. Though her time there was not detestable, Falcon has never looked back on the school with any fondness. After two and three-quarters years separated from his darling daughter, her father called her home again. Her education was completed from home and came to consist of both typical school instruction and life education. 

Her father called in dozens of favors due to him from flying experts across Equestria to teach Falcon how to race. She learned sprints, long distance flying, tricks, and other things. Paired with her flight instruction was fitness training where she increased her stamina, sheer wingspeed, and reflexes. Falcon was trained day after day for a year and a half in the ways of the Wonderbolt in order to live out her father's great dream of being one. And she loved every minute of her training. Every time she felt ready to collapse from exhaustion she gave a battle yell and kept going. Whenever she thought she couldn't go any faster she narrowed her eyes and dared herself to move her wings twice as fast. If she was at the end of her physical limits, she did one more lap or pushup or wingbeat. Nothing would stop her. Still, today, nothing stops her.

Since her father's intense "schooling", Falcon has continued to push herself. Every morning she has an exercise regime. She watches what she eats very carefully and keeps her body in tip-top shape all the time. She also has begun to work her way up the racing brackets. Falcon planned to make herself into the ideal Wonderbolt, perfect for the team so that when she applied, they had no choice in her acceptance. She is currently an official Wonderbolts Academy cadet, a member of the Ponyville Starcade Guild, and a Ponyville Town Watchmare.
