## Biography

### Appearance

Cheer Squad is a short yellow earth pony filly with a somewhat messy, streaky mane. Her mane consists of the colours blue, purple, pink and green. Her tail is curled upwards and her power markings manifest in the form of blue gradients on her ears. In uniform, Cheer Squad wears a blue vest with white accents, as well as a shiny white bowtie. She also wears a blue cheerleader's skirt and white hoof caps, with her ponytail tied up in a white hair tie. Her mask is a blue eye mask that causes her eyes to appear blue as well. Her outfit is meant to resemble that of a cheerleader.

### Personality

Cheer Squad is positive and upbeat, though she can be somewhat sensitive and becomes dejected when criticized or scolded. As her team's youngest member, Cheer Squad tends to be the most optimistic and innocent super in the Prophecies. She often asks questions with somewhat obvious answers or makes rushed claims that become baseless upon further inspection, but she frequently tries to learn new things and better herself.

### Powers & Abilities

Cheer Squad utilizes a hope aura core that projects an aura of hope around her, encouraging her teammates and giving them the hope they need to continue fighting. She is considered too young to fight, instead focusing entirely on support and avoiding direct combat whenever possible. Her hope aura grows stronger with the force of her own hope, meaning her ability to believe in her teammates is crucial in her ability to support them. While it isn't required to produce her hope aura, Cheer Squad still chooses to loudly cheer on their team while they fight.
