Meet General Rose Blade :3
 
An Italian pony, she is a general in the royal guard, who has helped Celestia and Luna for many years. She is an excellent tactician and combat expert (She is very highly skilled with using a sword), and the princesses often consult her for advice for any battles they might face.
 
Unlike a lot of generals, who don’t think highly of their troops, she has a high opinion and respect for those in her command, and she ensures that all of her ponies get care and respect. In turn, the ponies under her command have a lot of respect for her too.
 
Outside of her job, she is a very calm and down to earth mare. She enjoys spending her free time enjoying some win and some books, and tending to her roses and other plants.  
She’s also really skilled at card games too. The princesses don’t like to admit it, but Rose has kicked their asses as poker more times then they can count X)
