IceShadow as a filly was shy and was left out most of the due to the fact that he had no "parents". In school he excelled in weather. During a school project though, he got a little out of hand. He was making a snow cloud that made rainbow snowflakes when, he lost it. It was found over Ponyville creating a massive blizzard instead of rainbow snowflakes. A few years later he was asked to manage the weather in Ponyville and that didn't go so well. IceShadow jumped on a cloud and a bolt of lightning struck SugerCube Conner, nearly burning it down. He put out the fire by making it snow on the building. This act is what got him his cutie mark.
IceShadow's parents are a complete mystery just like himself. IceShadow is actually the son of Derpy Hooves. This is shown with his love of muffins, his eyes look just like his mothers, and he has been known to be clumsy at times.
Derpy had IceShadow a few weeks before the Winter Wrap Up , hence the name Ice and Shadow comes from his dark flank. IceShadow got out of his crib late one night somehow got on a train to Cloudsdale. His mother sent out search parties, but to no success. There is a blank spot between his infancy and when he moved to his cave.
