Pegasus

Pegasi are the next most populous group in Equestria after Earth Ponies, though are relatively scarce as many of them live in sky-cities like Cloudsdale inaccessible to non-pegasi.

The Equestrian Pegasi have a tradition of martial might that stretches back to long before the founding of Equestria, and is still felt today in the enshrinement of athletic prowess.

#### Personality

Pegasi tend to be energetic, outgoing, and extroverted to the extreme – particularly the cloud-city dwellers, who are exceptionally competitive. In contrast, they are sometimes seen as brash and overly aggressive by their much more laidback, land-bound pony brethren.

#### Physical Description

Pegasi tend to be smaller (or at least slimmer) than the other Pony races, lighter frames being much more advantageous to a naturally winged, athletic race. Their coats and manes are brightly coloured and extremely varied, with wildly differing colours on a single Pegasus being relatively common.

#### Alignment

Pegasi strongly tend towards Good, with a lesser tendency towards Chaos over Law. They are some of the most passionate proponents of the tenets of Harmony, though when it comes to morality they much prefer to live by what their heart says rather than what the law instructs.

#### Names

Pegasi names reflect their energy and passion, often being related to athleticism but equally as often being borne of their love of the sky.

**Male Names:** Fast Clip, Cloud Break, Prism Glider

**Female Names**: Fleetfoot, Rain Dance, Lightning Dust

#### Adventurers

Pegasi make natural adventurers, particularly of the martial classes. Seeking to improve oneself is seen as one of the most honourable pursuits a Pegasus can apply themselves to, with many who set off as adventurers being hailed as heroes regardless of their success.
