Character info and backstory.

Quicksilver is the team’s Trapper/Skirmisher. She most commonly plays the scout role despite her being one of the “Squires” of the group. She wields a spear and carries a small crossbow as well. While she is a capable fighter up close, she prefers hit and run tactics and is sometimes used to just tie up enemies both in the air and on the ground with an assortment of nets or bolas. Just like the other two pegasi of the group, she has a love of flying. While the others prefer high cruising speeds, she prefers to go fast in short spurts. While her wings are powerful, she has difficulty with sustained flight over long periods of time.

Quicksilver was born in Trottingham, but her heritage is strong within Paladia and would eventually move there with her family and clan as political disputes between Paladia and the Griffon Empire were once again settled, this time without bloodshed. Quicksilver is the youngest of 5 siblings, but the only pegasus among her brothers and sisters. She found herself always within her siblings shadows being much smaller than the others and the last to acquire her cutie mark. However this did not deter her in the slightest. As she grew, she learned to fly on her own, something thought impossible by her parents. While her parents wished her to be more prim and proper, they could not stop her free spirit as she would constantly run (or fly) away to have an adventure. As she got older, she learned to wield a spear from her father, figuring if he couldn’t stop her from exploring, he might as well help her defend herself when called for it. Mixing speed with spear fighting is what gave Quicksilver her cutie mark, having a special talent for jousting. Against her parents wishes, she would enter a tournament for seasoned fighters. While she did not win, being beaten in the finals, she did catch the attention of several ponies one of them being Gustave Emberhoof. He approached Quicksilver with the opportunity to put her skills to good use on his team of knights. As you can guess, her parents weren’t keen on the idea, but Gustave had assured them that he would take good care of their daughter.
