Traits:
Solar Nova [Born Morning Breeze] was a screw up. When she was  
born she came out backwards, seeming unable to do anything right  
even from the start. In gradeschool she was a failure. It took  
her forever to learn to read, or write, or do arithmetic, she  
was always too thin and too lanky to do sports, she couldn't  
learn magic, she couldn't even fly, her wings were short and  
deformed. Her father was a businesspony and her mother was a  
socialite and they all lived together in Las Pegasus, city with  
too many problems. Her parents never really had time for her  
growing up, her father busy with working for the Weather Company  
and her mother busy pedalling for influence with friends of  
friends. Disgraced, saddened, and pointless, she decided to  
leave, find someplace she could belong. 

She could not even do that right. She fled at night and fell  
between two cloud banks, landing hard on the ground breaking her  
back left leg in three places. She limped along the road a few  
miles before collapsing in exhaustion and pain, where she was  
found by a rock farmer named Old Reliable, a great mountain of  
an earth pony with a mustache and a short mane. He look her back  
to his house and family farm, miles away on the borders to White  
Tale Woods. There she was nursed back to health, and saw the Old  
farmer's hard-working, moralistic, smart all things considering,  
and moreover religious family, life, and town. A perfect  
contrast to her previous life in Las Pegasus.

The Farmer taught her the Celestian Scrolls, as his father had  
taught him, and sent her to a small school, where the teacher  
was kind and young and spoke slowly and explained things a  
second time, and didn't just rush so everything could be ready  
for the test. She was taken to a Doctor who had come from  
Manehatten and retired in a small practice, who revealed Morning  
had an easily curable muscle deformity, and by that spring she  
was fast, and strong, and lettered, and could count to a  
thousand and one. All this she attributed to the kindness of her  
father who was now her father, and to the blessing of the Sun.  
Each day she would rise at dawn to meet it in the air, blessed  
in all things.

This passed for about ten years, and Morning [who had lied and  
given her name as "Nova" when Reliable first found her] grew  
tall. Very tall. The runt now stood near as high as the Princess  
herself. Having finshed her education, she headed to Canterlot  
to become a priestess. There she met the Princess Celestia, and  
became enraptured with the perfection she represented. Seeking  
to emulate her further, the tall Pegasus dyed her hair and  
refined her mannerisms. Every day in the library she would read  
more about the Princess, and change more and more of her  
mannerisms to fit it. She adopted a special diet to increase her  
height with magic berries. She combed her hair so it would  
appear to "wave" when she moved. She bought a pet Phoenix,  
despite it being extremely expensive. All this in the pursuit of  
mystical perfection. To emulate a demigod.

The culimation of her endeavour came when she was in the Palace  
of the Two Sisters, collecting old artifacts to send back to the  
museum, when she, quite by chance, came across a hidden room  
under the armory. Inside, was the legendary Solar Aegis, held up  
on a stand, as clean and immaculate as the day it was first  
hidden. Celestia's armor during the Old Kingdom. The magical  
armor had the power to spread life, and to give life to the  
dead. 

She, ecstatic, took the armor back with other artifacts to keep  
at the musuem, but, overtaken with the armor's beatiful design,  
and knowing it had once protected divinity, kept it in her room  
in her house at Canterlot, as she continued getting instruction  
as a Priestess.

When the forces of Sombra, Chyraslis, and the Griffons fell upon  
Canterlot, Sister Solar Nova was chosen along with a large group  
of other ponies, to flee the Nation by ship to the east, led by  
the Princess Luna. Donning the Solar Aegis she escaped by ship,  
escaping with many civilians and fellow holy mares and  
stallions. Now she hopes to return with Luna, to retake the  
Kingdom, to find and if necessary rescue Princess Celestia, and  
stop this desecration of Paradise.
