Pegasus

Gifted with wings, Pegasi own the skies, as comfortable living in Pegasus cloud villages as they are in homes on the ground among the Earth Ponies and Unicorns. Even on the ground, their wings give them greater speed than the average Pony. Some Pegasi prefer to hover than walk, their hooves getting tired faster than their wings.

Pegasi manage the weather, a responsibility they take seriously. They know that less popular weather like cold snaps and rain play an important role in Equestria’s environment, and they work with the Princesses to ensure a balance between weather needs and weather wants.

Some Pegasi base their entire personalities around their wings, celebrating the thrill of cutting through the air and freedom of the sky. Some even see flying as their duty, protecting the skies from aerial threats. Others enjoy the convenience of being able to fly, but don’t feel it makes them much different from any other pony.

Example Pegasi

Rainbow Dash: A consummate flier who spends more time in the air than on the ground. When she can’t fly – like when her wing was in a cast– her world comes crashing down.

Fluttershy: Naturally reserved, Fluttershy didn’t take to the competitive Pegasus fillies at flight school, and moved away from Cloudsdale to live a more grounded life in Ponyville.

Scootaloo: A filly who struggles to fly, Scootaloo takes to the skies her own way: riding her scooter off ramps.

Thunderlane: A Wonderbolts Academy recruit who earned his flight suit and made the team.
