You are a stallion named Nature Cloud, a Pegasus with a dark green coat and chestnut brown mane and tail. Your tail was of medium length and came to a point at the end while your mane was short but also pointed on the end. Your Cutie Mark was a pair of wings inside a bubble.You earned your Cutie mark whilst in swimming lesson in Trottingham but you never liked it when you started. normally the swimming lessons started with you protesting and your father saying "Everypony must learn how to swim, it could come in handy in the future." But While pre-paring for a big race you pondered why your wings were useless during swimming and you only used your hooves, so during the race you turned your wings sideways and flapped them backwards which in turn propelled you further into the lead and to win the race. After the race your father pointed out your Cutie Mark and you felt ecstatic.

You were originally born in Cloudsdale and moved to Trottingham at the age of five, the only reason you stayed in Cloudsdale is so you could learn how to fly and use your wings properly at the flight academy. You trained your little hooves off you won the “Best Young Flyer Competition.” And the only reason you won that is that you've found out a secret way to train your wings. By swimming underwater using only them.

Once arriving in your Trottingham family apartment (2 bedroom, 1 bathroom)you took time to settle and calm down from the long trip. From the window you could see the Neighagra Falls and parts of Manehatten. You got sent to a new school for ponies your age, the school mainly consisted of Earth ponies and a few Unicorns, you were the only Pegasus. Whilst there you only gained a single friend and kept quietly in between yourselves. doing your work while your classmates got distracted by fillies and prank. You were never one to get involved in relationships. You got bullied everyday by both Earth ponies and Unicorns but you could tell these bullies never wanted a fight as being physically strong with boxing experience and with powerful wings they were no match for you.

Your mother, Flower Cloud. Was a florist who opened a store close to your apartment which sold many varieties of flowers such as roses, daisies and sadly memorial stuff that spelled "DAD" and other stuff like that on, you never enjoyed looking at them. She had a brown coat with a pure blond mane and tail, both of which curled slightly upwards at the end. Although her looks might deceive you, she was a mean filly. She pushed you beyond your limit at the flight academy so much that whenever she came to see you fly you always managed to end up with a sprained wing from her shouting and pushing.

You father, Swift Cloud. On the other hoof who did look like a “gruff” and “manly” pony, but behind closed doors he was the one person to keep your anger with your mother subdued he didn't know why you were angry and you wouldn't tell him so he Took you to boxing lessons to take your anger out on, which helped majorly. As a reward for trying so hard in boxing he took you to the best show in Equestria...The Wonderbolts! thanks to seeing these performers so much you idolized them and your room became a museum for memorabilia. Your father had a dark green coat along with a light brown mane and tail, which were both spiked at the end. Kinda like yours. His job was to manage weather patrols and maintain the clouds, he loved his job like he loved his family. He did not know of the pushing your mother was doing, she never did anything physical but it still hurt you mentally.

After graduating from the most wrenching school in history you decided to follow your fathers hoof-steps and joined the weather team and did a decent job, your pay was pretty good. Once you reached the ripe old age of 22 and after saving all your bits you looked for a place to live. Somewhere quite, new and somewhat the opposite of Trottingham. Yes, Trottingham wasn't that loud or busy but you still felt like it could be quieter. It took you months to find a town that met your standards and that town was Ponyville. The house pricing was on the down low since apparently it had just been attacked by “Discord” who apparently is the god of chaos but you could hardly believe that nonsense. You were hoping for a house with a pool since that’s how you train your wings.

Telling mother and father was the hard part. mother was happy to see you going, though she didn't show it but you knew, while father was practically on the verge of tears watching his little boy “Boggle,” yes Boggle. That was the nickname given to you by your father as your flight speed “Boggled” his mind. Oh Celestia! if anyone found that out you would just die on the spot or run away and hide yourself until doomsday. But his tears had to stop sometime as you closed the door to the apartment and with a heavy sigh, you set of on the road with just a bag of bits and a bundle that contained your family photo and stationary so you can write to them. You'd come back for you memorabilia.

The only friend you made throughout your life so far has been a Unicorn stallion called Magic Field. A Magically gifted unicorn who instead of focusing on what he was learning in school, spent most of it reading about magic and how to control it. Heck even his Cutie mark was a symbol of magic. But after graduation he went up to Canterlot to serve as a magic teacher and in his spare time, a researcher. You and him grew apart overtime but he is still well retained in your memory.

Hope the journey to Ponyville is safe...
