She is a very assertive pony and may have a somewhat intimidating effect on others, but she is also a perfect example of a character with a tough skin hiding a golden heart. For example, when our pen and paper rpg group met her for the first time Leafhelm told the others that her barking “Speak louder!” at anypony was like a great compliment showing that she liked whoever was told to speak louder while she would tell anypony she didn’t like to be quiet.
Part of her noisy attitude may come from an affliction she was born with. Her left wing is a little crooked and while that doesn’t affect her flying (she is an excellent flyer) she will always produce a whistling noise when flying, especially at high speeds.
In this particular vector she is looking sad and angry based on the scene in our rpg when the other characters from our group told her about the presumed death of her brother (whom she loves very much and vice versa, in spite of their different nature). I got to admit that when I came up with the design for the parents and the sister of my oc I totally neglected any similarity that would make them look like relatives. A rather diverse family I suppose
