## Physical traits and personality

Star Slash, with his bright yellow pegasus form and orange hair, exudes a sweetness that is as captivating as his shaggy mane. As a batpony, his transformation subtly alters him, with only his eyes getting the slit shape and his wings getting the unique traits of his new identity.

His personality is marked by a gentle shyness and modesty, making him easily sensitive to the world around him. However, in the reassuring presence of Nocturna, he discovers a newfound confidence.

## Daily life

Star Slash finds solace and purpose in the nightly embrace of Nocturna's world. His routine is a delicate ballet with the nocturnal, where his passion for caring for the forest's little creatures takes center stage. As the moon ascends, Star Slash takes flight, his keen senses attuned to the rustling of leaves and the soft murmurings of the nighttime creatures.

In the moonlit glades, he tends to injured birds, nurses orphaned hedgehogs, and befriends timid creatures of the night. Star Slash's nurturing spirit extends beyond the physical realm; he becomes a guardian of the nocturnal ecosystem, fostering a harmonious balance between predator and prey.

Nocturna, his beloved, shares in his passion, their nightly escapades creating a symphony of compassion under the twinkling stars. Their bond, forged in the shadows, deepens with each shared moment of care and protection for the enchanted creatures of the forest.

Star Slash's routine is not just a duty; it's a calling, a heartfelt commitment to the delicate balance of nature in the nocturnal realm. In the quiet of the night, his wings cradle injured fawns, and his gentle touch mends the wounded spirits of the forest's denizens, creating a haven of tranquility under the silver glow of the moon.

## Early life

Star Slash's early life was filled with the warmth and affection of his unicorn parents, Willful Tree and Sweet Star, who cherished their rare pegasus son. Growing up, he adored their presence and found joy in the company of his curious cousin Lush Sky. However, as he matured, he faced a profound dilemma. His father's deep connection to trees and his mother's mastery of magic left him torn between two distinct paths, and a sense of confusion loomed over him.

Feeling lost, Star Slash sought solace in the tranquil embrace of the forest. It was during one fateful evening in the woods, at the age of 17, that he crossed paths with Nocturna, a mysterious and enchanting batpony. As he confided in her about his inner turmoil, she suggested a life-altering transformation to become a batpony like herself. Uncertain and fearful of his family's reaction, he hesitated but found solace in the idea of embracing a new identity that felt true to his heart.

To his surprise, his family accepted his friendship with a batpony. Eventually, Star made his decision. Venturing out a night, Star Slash sought out Nocturna, who eagerly initiated his transformation by biting him, forever changing the course of his life. But after Star Slash underwent his transformation, shock rippled through his household. He had not prepared them for the change, and his grandfather, Caring Slash, was particularly upset about the secrecy. However, as time passed, wounds healed, and the acceptance of his new form grew stronger. Star Slash embarked on a joyful life in the nocturnal world of batponies and the mystical forest with Nocturna, always remembering the family he had left behind.

## Late life

In the later years of Star Slash's life, he and Nocturna had a daughter named Moonshadow, a lively and joyful batpony mare who brought light and laughter to their lives. As Moonshadow grew, she formed a close bond with Lush Sky's daughter Diamond Hill, and their shared adventures, including their daring exploration of the enigmatic haunted house of Soft Wings, occasionally left him with a hint of worry. Nonetheless, he cherished seeing his daughter's adventurous spirit flourish. In the twilight of their years, Star Slash and Nocturna grew old together, their love enduring until the end as Star Slash peacefully passed into the night at the age of 84, leaving behind a legacy of love and transformation.

## Development

Star Slash was created in October of 2022 by Sylvain Barre and Dalton Lampert, for the purpose of bridging their OCs' familial stories. Initially conceived as the link between Willful Ground and Caring Slash, his role in uniting these two characters took shape. Later, the twist of his transformation into a batpony added depth to his character, and his name, inspired by both his celestial appearance and the legacy of Caring Slash, became a symbol of his dual nature, linking the two families.
