**Touchstone** is a female super under the Delta Alpha branch. She uses a seismic sense core and is a B-ranked support. She is not a member of any squadrons.

## Biography

### Appearance

Touchstone is a Ponish earth pony of average height and build with a pale yellow coat and a long, straight mane streaked with blue, green, yellow, pink and orange. Her uniform consists of a sleeveless dark cyan top with a metallic cyan neck guard and dark cyan pants. She also wears a dark cyan eye mask that causes her eyes to appear entirely blue. Her power markings manifest in the form of cyan gradients on her ears and cyan colouring in her hooves.

### Personality

Touchstone is an upbeat and friendly pony who puts on a much more serious and stoic persona when it comes to combat. This is due to her power core requiring large amounts of focus to use, leading to her taking her job extremely seriously in order to utilize her core correctly. However, when she is off the clock, she finds it much easier to loosen up and socialize freely.

### Powers & Abilities

Touchstone utilizes a seismic sense core that grants her the ability to sense and perceive vibrations in the ground. She can use this sense to detect movement, heartbeats and other such vitals, detecting anything that emits any sort of vibration. While Touchstone's core is incredibly helpful in a supportive role, it isn't particularly damaging, meaning that her coreless combat abilities must always remain specially honed to accommodate.

### Books

Touchstone appears in all versions of the Delta Host Beginner's Herodex, with her most recent entry stating the following:

> *Touchstone’s seismic sense allows her to detect where an enemy is and where an attack is coming from, making her a valuable asset in any group. She uses her power in a particularly precarious way, keeping her eyes shut while her seismic sense is active to allow her full concentration. One might worry that this would leave her open to attack, but with her seismic sense, Touchstone could see an attack coming from a mile away!*
