ID-1120: Pappiliodya

A guiding star who herself is lost. Once shining high above, her entire state of being has changed wholly. It certainly was of her own volition- but she cannot remember why she made this choice. In fact, she cannot remember much. Theres both knowing who she was but also a disconnect to her past self. A rather odd state of being for the mare.

She is brilliant and alight but then again melancholic and tired, so very, very worn. What burden she bears is heavy and invisible. She keeps trudging on, some days better, some weeks worse- set adrift in a world that is both fascinating and scary. Yet she enjoys walking in it, meeting the people whod been looking up to her for guidance since time immemorial.

The stars provide some comfort, they are her sisters and brothers and whisper things when their constellations rise. She is old and she is magic, born from something primordial and powerful. Her physical heart could not take this power for long, it was replaced by a prosthetic, clockwork one, made from meteotic metal, powered by the fragment of a shooting star. 

It is not quite known how, but this pony is connected to the mysteries of Azuris and the stars. Phenomena that are strange and near impossible to explain. Houses that live, beasts that appear out of nowhere. Stars that fall, forests that seem to know and feel. Most appear and then go as suddenly as they came. Pappiliodya- a guiding star who had suddenly vanished from the night sky, thought to have perished due to its age.

She was found wandering a shallow lake, which reflected the stars and seemed to hold the universe in its waters. The sky did not have a visible end and yet, the mare was lost. Peering at the stars surrounding her, in desperate hopes to find one that would provide guidance.
