Biography: Zephyr Mocha was born on a rather pleasant, late October afternoon in Procella; within the Lunar District.  Her remarkably vivid mane matched that of the rest of the Mocha bloodline, and her rather large, slightly furry wings gave the sense that she was born to fly.  Symbolically to her wings, her parents decided to name her Zephyr. 

As Zephyr was growing up, she found it excessively difficult to learn how to fly.  Other ponies around her had thinner, more feathery wings; and thus were able to take off with ease.  Her, however, was barely able to make it off the ground; let alone remain airborne.  As her struggles frustrated her further, she eventually grew to give up on flying entirely; studying Alchemy instead.  She was always interested in Alchemy; the elemental accomplishments that were done with it astonished her, and drove her to learn more about it. 

After three years of dedicated Alchemy study, her school's Flying class exams came up; an exam used to see who could progress to the next level of learning, or be held back to relearn what they clearly hadn't already.  The thought of trying to fly terrified Zephyr, and when practically forced to go to school, she wouldn't let go of her Alchemy book that she had written during her studies.  The book was fairly bulky, due to the years of research written into it; thus making it fairly heavy as well.  As long as she was holding that book, it seemed fairly clear that she would never pass the Flying exam.

During her time waiting to be called up for her exam, she wouldn't get her nose out of the book she had written in; intensively studying even while waiting.  As she read, an idea came over her, and her fears seemed to melt away.  As she was called up for her exam, she closed the book, but still refused to let go of it.  The judges seemed sceptical about her having such a heavy book; seeing as how she had such a hard time flying on her own.  Could she have really improved so much in so little time?  As Zephyr spread her wings, she remained completely focused, as though she were channelling her energy.  After a short moment, she took off into the sky with intense speed; a light green-blueish colour shaping a symbol staying on the ground for a fraction of a second before fading out.  She was flying!  There was a small flash as she flew, but she assumed it was just the sun getting in her eyes or something.  What was important was that she was finally flying.  As she returned to the ground, she received a remarkable score from the judges for her performance, and she passed her exam; marking her eligible for progressing to the next stages of schooling.

When she returned home, she had found out that the flash she had seen earlier was not the sun in her eyes, but rather her cutie mark forming.  On her flank rested an Alchemy symbol for "Air".  As Zephyr gazed to her new accomplishment, she was not stunned in the least bit.  She knew it had to trace back to when she took off from the ground during her exam, using the help of Alchemy to do so.  As she continued through life, she kept that reason as a fair secret; never breathing a word of it to anyone, as it rather embarrassed her to think that she still couldn't fly without the help of Alchemy.  Though this was only a minor nuisance, she was still able to otherwise progress through life fairly well. 

At the age of 15 years, she became a fairly known Alchemist in Procella, and a good fraction of the Lunar District.  With this, she grew to eventually make the funds to travel; going on vacation at least once a year to different spots around the world.  One of those visits was to PonyVille, Equestria; where she grew to adore the culture and community within the rather medium-small town.  After a few years of visiting the town, she decided at the age of 21 years to move to the town to enjoy what she endured on a more regular basis.  It only took a half year to build the funds up, and she moved over with fair glee.  She made sure to promise to visit Procella annually, so her family and old friends would never forget her.  Life was progressing for her, and she needed to follow the gale to succession.
