Info: Night Swift is the younger sister of Sparrow Wing. She never was supposed to happen, a “happy accident” is what her mother called her. When she was born, Night Swift was a completely black filly and soon became very sick. Her parents worried for their foal and did everything in their power to help her, even resorting to using dark magic. After this, Night Swift became better and mysteriously gained a single blue stripe in her mane and tail. When Night Swift was very little, she showed a down-right bizarre immunity to drugs of any kind. This was thanks to the tinkering her mother did to her little body. Her heart was replaced with a powerful pump and along her body were blood filters and several other pieces of tech that made her body not only immune to drugs, but also very resilient and almost bulletproof.
When her mother left her, Night Swift and her father Panzer, grew very close. He never let her outside her protective bunker that Panzer kept her in. One day, Night Swift asked to go to school in the nearby town of Ponyville. Panzer thought it over and said yes. He got her a saddle bag and blue bow for her first day. After school, Night Swift discovered that Panzer had been kidnapped and killed, forcing his bunker to seal itself.
Night Swift ran through the woods crying. Soon, she was hopelessly lost in the creeping woods when she was confronted by a shadow. It addressed itself as ‘Shadow’ and Night Swift soon felt comforted. Shadow was a night guardian, and Night Swift had been unknowingly offered as a bridge, a pony able to cross into the shadow world of lost spirits and back easily. She can also merge with shadows. However, as a bridge, she is responsible to hunt ponies trying to tamper with the balance of life and stop them.
Night Swift stayed with Shadow, learning from the guardians for three days before she was let out and headed for town. But on the way, she was ambushed by slavers and kidnapped to Stalliongrad. This was the start of her very long life as a slave. Maid, steel foundry, cherry plantation, cat, prostitute, she has worked them all. Each time she changed owners. she was hardened.
After nearly 15 years in slavery, Night Swift was sold to a kind stallion who took her away from slavery and the city. Far away to a mountain top fuel and repair station for the Pegasi. He raised her as the daughter he never had, showing Night Swift how to operate and repair various machines, and healing the damage the years of hard service had done.
This, was her golden years. She was happy and at peace, and looked forward to living in peace and quiet. Until her adoptive father had a heart attack. Night Swift was shattered. Any kindness she had left, she buried with her second father. After that night, she made a crude pair of wings and burned her old home to the ground. She then flew away.
She flew to Van Hoofer, and while trying to land, she collided into a stallion heading the other way. This is how Night Swift and Logan first met. They weren’t the perfect couple, but they were happy and shared many interests and passions. After a full year of dating, they got married.
They stayed in Van Hoofer and bought a small apartment building, they lived there, while not out on contracts. They made thousands of bits working contracts and doing odd jobs. However, Night Swift had said just one more contract, and they they would settle down and start a family… Just, one more…
But Logan died…
She sold her home in Van Hoofer and went back to her mountain top, and rebuilt the service station. And there she lives, alone without anypony else. No pony knows where her station is exactly.
Night Swift was damned at birth. Though her outward scars are gone, the ones inside are deep, and may never heal. She has seen love killed, family abandon, and friends destroyed. She is angry and careless, ruining lives at whim and selling ponies without a second thought. She may have friends everywhere, but personal friends…well, no pony knows for sure.
