Description The graceful, gentle giant of the North.  Truly, there are few explanations that better describe Windy.  Born as any other unicorn would be, Windy soon stood out as being different when she first started attending school only to discover she did not even fit in her desk.  By the time she had her cutie mark she was nose to nose with any fully grown pony twice her age, and it did not stop there.  Now fully grown herself, Windy towers nearly half-over the height of most stallions, not even including her horn!  No one really knows why she just kept growing, but Windy doesn't mind at all.  She has a better view, or so she says.

With a cutie mark associated with the wind and the cold, it isn't surprising that Windy enjoys the lands near the Crystal Empire.  She makes her trade as a guide through the storms and twisting trails easily hidden in snow and ice.  Guarding against gales and frost, Windy takes expeditions into the deep north as well as offering a more scenic route to finding the Crystal Empire than simply taking the skyway.  Her magic can both shield from the elements and illuminate a path most wouldn't see, and is a sight most will not forget.

She has been considering starting a glacier tour service, possibly even taking ponies far enough north to meet some of the far more interesting creatures of ice and snow, but has yet to find a time when her responsibilities as a guide are always required.  Especially with a rise in the number of the strange occurrences in the north, a brave and experienced guide is hard to come by.

Awe! She's cute! I love how she's taller than the others too. Her legs look taller too. Usually when I see "tall" things, they are just like normal things but bigger. But your picture actually makes her look taller. xD

She is one of my favs. I like tall things, and a tall pony (without it being unrealistic for the universe) is fun.

She kinda has giraffe-ness, which works well since she lives in the north and can walk through snow

I can totally see the giraffe-ness! You did great drawing it xD
Ou - that would be good for the snow! Does she end up carrying ponies through deep snow sometimes?

I... actually cannot draw well anymore, I write x3.  My friends do these for me and I supply the story!  Links to the artists in the descrip.

And yes, she does since she works often as a rescue pony.  Since she is usually taller than the snow and not bothered by the cold she is perfect for getting ponies ro safety

Ah, derp. The link is in the descrip - sorry! ; I swear I know how to read. I've been fighting a fever lately, I blame my flightiness on that.

Writing is awesome! And that's nice of your friends to draw them for you! Did they draw her close to what you imagined?
Is her story posted anywhere?

Fever?!  You and me BOTH!

They got her just about exactly what I had in mind.  As for her story, right now it is just a descrip.  I work slowly, >.>.  She will get more fleshed out once I get into the groups posted, but right now what is there is all she has.  That won't be for forever, I am actually working this moment on a story that utilizes some of my characters.  Windy might not be in it, but she'll have her shot soon.

Oh no! D: Are you feeling any better yet? I'm feeling better, but still running a fever. x_x

Awesome! I'm glad they drew her right!
I understand working slowly... ; Been writing for years and never successfully finished something. Ha ha.

Fun for Windy currently, groups, and working on a story! Sounds like Windy will wait until it's her best time to shine. xD
I hope you have fun writing your story too! I'd love to see it if you felt like sharing once you were done!

And Happy New Year! xD

Sock-drawer writers unite, never completing anything is our staple.  Also yes, I am well now, thankfully.

Windy is definitely a cold-weather pony and because of that her presence is pretty restrictive to the north.  Whenever my current story progressions venture that direction, she will certainly find a place.  Since all my fimfics occur in the same "universe" more or less then I'm sure she will find her way.

Yes! LOL xD

And good! I'm glad ^.^

Ah! That's cool! Reminds me of some of my characters in my current story. Important enough to me to have a backstory, but I have no clue how much of the character the audience will see. xD

That's fun that your fics all take place in around the same universe! Are the main characters the same, or different? If they are different, do they meet other main characters from other stories?

I love having my characters meet my characters from other stories. But it's not canon. Just something I play with for fun since they all take place in different universes (mostly). Those that do take place in the same universe I'm not sure if the characters will actually meet or just cameo. xD
