BACKSTORY
Yuna hails from a small village along the Unicorn Range. She was a shy filly, something not helped by the bullying she received from other foals for being half zebra. It persisted the older she got, having not yet managed to earn her cutiemark no matter what she tried. She eventually got into the more occult side of things when she came across the topic of strange magics, the supernatural and fortune telling, much to her mother's unhappiness. While Yuna came to understand fortune telling was merely all smoke and mirrors and didn't amount to anything, the basic idea interested her: to predict the future. She'd always been more comfortable with pony-watching, so it became a past time of hers to observe the world, and ponies, around her to try to see what might happen, where their lives might lead. It was something she found herself to be very good at, even if most of the accidents and disasters that happened were the results of clumsy or unaware ponies.
She later tried a strange shop in town that sold such things like tarot cards just so she might try out the fortune telling side of things. While it wasn't too hard once she asked the right questions and told ponies what they wanted to hear, and sometimes didn't even though Yuna was genuine in her warnings, she found her fortune telling was rather accurate. At the age of fourteen Yuna finally gained her cutiemark after realizing how much of a knack she had for it, and an unusual one at that: a half-lidded green eye with purple smoke pouring out of the pupil.
In the years after Yuna would continue doing what she was best at, along with learning many other things- including training her magic. It was used mostly for show, but she did dabble in spellwork when she wasn't trying to make a living or playing the part of a performer- if fortune telling could partially be considered a performance. Yuna wanted to see if it was possible to use magic to see into the future, as her want to prevent accidents before they happened had never quite left her.
There came a time when Yuna eventually managed to create such a spell, and in doing so she was met by a vision- disaster was coming to the town in the form of a large, out of control storm. Yuna collapsed afterward, but upon awaking she went to warn the town. Most ponies didn't believe her, save for those who were familiar with her fortunes and their scary accuracy. The storm itself became visible to the town within a few days, darkening the horizon, convincing those who wouldn't believe her. Yuna tried to help and organize the town to prepare for the storm, and found the stone gathering hall to be a perfect place. Ponies gathered up all their things, their food, the elderly, and their pets to take shelter within the hall. When the storm arrived, it raged for some time, destroying much of the town, before it passed on and eventually dispersed. The townsponies were relieved that they themselves were kept safe, and they had Yuna to thank. Yuna herself realized that with her visions, she could do much more than fortune telling to help the ponies and keep them safe- and from that realization she ascended into alicornhood. It came as quite a shock to everyone else, and even Yuna didn't know what to make of her new state. Thankful though the others were, there was quite some grumblings among the others- Yuna, fearing backlash, eventually left the ruined town behind her, believing they would have cast her out as an outsider. From there she eventually learned to hide her wings, and gain the few belongings she has now, so she could travel Equestria and leave her home far behind her. No one would ever find her secret again, but she was still plagued by the occasional sudden vision.
PARENTS
Yuna has, or had, only her mother growing up. She has no idea who her father was, and her mother seemed as though she didn't want to say- the most Yuna could tell was that their relationship ended badly, or that her father had left them. Being fatherless didn't matter too much to Yuna as she did just fine with her mother. Although her mother seemed to disapprove of her focus on fortune telling, as she didn't put much stock in it and believed Yuna could do much better with talent-seeking in other skills. It'd caused quite a few arguments, at least up until Yuna gained her cutiemark- her mother had no choice but to accept what was and could only hope to make sure Yuna was doing all of her schoolwork and chores.
When Yuna ascended, she almost couldn't bear to face her mother, a similar fear she held to the townsponies casting her out. She didn't want any possibility of finding out if her mother would think of her for what she'd become, so Yuna fled without a word of goodbye.
Yuna's mother has a medium brown mane and has a slightly darker lilac coat than she does. What her father looks like, however, is unknown (do feel free to offer to rp either of her parents!).
APPEARANCE
The mysterious unicorn was a svelte creature with a soft pale pink coat reminiscent of cotton candy. Were one close enough, they could see slightly darker stripes that marked her back and legs like scars. She also had a freckling of white across the bridge of her nose, and two more beneath long-lashed eyes of dark magenta. Her hair was thick and slightly wavy, a brown-black that was bunched in gold rings. The lady could often be seen in shawls of varying dark colors, beneath which were white-tipped wings that she kept hidden. What little jewelry she wore often came in gold rings on her left ear and bangles around all four ankles.
PERSONALITY
Yuna puts on a friendly face when interacting with ponies, but has never enjoyed their company. She is callous and distrustful, usually keeping her distance, and fears others finding out her secret; because of such, she keeps to herself. There are rare times she yearns for the company of other ponies, but she ultimately doesn't know how to approach them or make friends. She grows irritable when others bother her or persist after she's already made it clear nonverbally that she no longer wants to converse or answer questions. With her little circle of friends, she shows a gentler and more affectionate face.
NOTES
* Yuna chooses to hide her alicornhood by wearing large shawls draped across her back, which commonly come in dark colors as she has a few.
* Her fortune-telling is a job she has chosen herself and lead up to her strange prophetic dreams and visions- the job allows her to scam others and make easy money, as well as allowing her to travel and find food.
* Her faint stripes, the shape of her eyes and her overall body shape makes it clear she is half zebra.
* The visions that Yuna has cannot be controlled by her. They come when they will, and sometimes cause her to pass out afterwards and/or leave her with a headache.
