Midnight is proud of her heritage and resilient in the face of discrimination, striving to be a bridge between the Thestral community and other pony species. History Born in the secluded Thestral village of Hollow Shades, nestled within the mysterious Everfree Forest, Midnight grew up under the moonlit canopy, learning the values of loyalty and perseverance from her community. She became close to Princess Luna after Luna visited Hollow Shades to foster a bond with the Thestrals. Recognizing her strength and determination, Luna personally chose Midnight to serve as one of her first Lunar Guards. When Luna transformed into Nightmare Moon, Midnight's loyalty never wavered, and she followed her princess into battle during the rebellion. However, with Luna's banishment and the subsequent Great Batpony Purge, Midnight was forced to go into hiding, witnessing centuries of mistrust and fear aimed at her kind. For a millennium, Midnight lived in the shadows, preserving the traditions and stories of her people. Upon Luna's return and reformation, she stepped out of obscurity and was reinstated as Luna’s personal guard. Since then, Midnight has dedicated herself to rebuilding the Lunar Guard and fostering understanding between Batponies and other ponies, even as prejudices persist.
