Cutie Mark: A dragon
Special talent: Eastern martial arts
Origins: Monk monastery in the Foal Mountain
Personality: Peaceful, quiet, friendly and kind. Trained by the monks, she learned to respect and love all living beings and all the world itself, but she will aways fight for the sake of the innocents and weaks, because the same way you can show love by protecting, you can show love by teaching a bad pony how to be nice.
Biography: Tian doesn't know her family. She was found abandoned in front of the Monastery of Harmony inside a basket and with her name writen in a piece of paper, but to be abandoned in a place so hard to reach, but with the fame of being the most peaceful place in Equestria, besides having already a name, shows that her parents loved her, even if they couldn't be with her.
She was created among the monks, helping taking care of the temple with cleaning, gardening, making food and other type of house works.
Even if she lived in the Monastery, she wasn't forced to become a monk, as it is a path that must be chosen. But being raised by the masters, she always looked up to them, and when she turned 10, she decided to start her training. She learned to read and write the ancient languages that were still used in the temple, and studied the ancient culture and philosophy of Equestria, things long lost for anypony outside the Monastery. But what she liked the most was martial arts, what was confirmed by the fact she earned her cutie mark after training day and night to performe techniques considered of high level for someone as young as her.
She lived like that until she turned 18 and had her coming of age ceremony. In this ceremony, besides some traditional rituals, the wise grandmaster would tell a prophecy. When the great monk saw Tian, he spoke almost immediately: "You must find what always changes from white to gray and to black, and show it the color of your heart."
She couldn't think about anything else. She never understood the words of the great monk, but they say that few are the ones who understand the prophecy before it happens. But one thing was clear: she wouldn't find whatever it was told her to find inside the monastery.
She packed her things, but it was too hard to leave the place she loved so much. She still spent one week there doing what she usually did; enjoying her last usual days in the monastery, until she got the courage to leave.
After leaving she started traveling without a direction, helping anyone who seemed like needed a help and looking for any clue about what would be what aways change colors.
Monastery of Harmony and Temple of Harmony: It was raised in honor of the two princess, said to be founded after the royal sisters defeated Discord for the first time and freed Equestria. It is also a monastery for ponies who want to leave everything behind to know what truly is harmony, not only living it, but understanding all of it's basic elements and how to achieve the most harmonious state a pony can be, called the Neighvana. you see, after Discord was defeated, the ponies were still troubled after living so much time in disharmony and didn't understand really well the princesses' philosophy and they keep living their discordant lives. The Princesses, who were too busy with problems all over the country, having to fix all the mess Discord had done after so much time in power, chose some ponies as disciples and taught them all of the harmonic arts. Then, they spread all over Equestria, acting like the voice of royalty, teaching the ponies and truly freeing them from their discordant past.
But, after achieving their goal and making Equestria the harmonious place it is today, they noticed and accepted they weren't neede anymore. At least, not at that time. For that reason, they isolated themselfs at the Foal Mountain and dedicated themselfs to master the harmonious arts, as even if Celestia and Luna had taught them, they were simple mortal ponies who couldn't fully understand the knowledge of such gods. They started gathering ancient knowledge all around the world, and some times the princesses themselves went to explain things they would find that were too complex for them to figure out on their own. They also learned the harmonic martial arts, also taught by the princesses. They said it was the most effective art against anything that would stand in the way of harmony.
Note: The fact that her destiny is tied to Arty's doesn't mean he will, with sure, be her special somepony and vice versa. I still don't know what will happen, and it will be defined by how they will interact in the roleplays I do with both.
