----------------------------------------------------------------- Windy Winters (https://i.imgur.com/1GvNv51.png) Description: - Average-size pegasus stallion - Young; aged 22 - White coat (Celestia white) - Grey (Derpy-coat tone) mane/tail with a light-blueish streak going down the middle - Mane/tail style is similar to his father's (http://i.imgur.com/BgP7GOA.png) - Cutie Mark: Two swirls of dark-blue (https://i.imgur.com/MmutCQS.png) - Good, strong build - broad wings. Strong flier, not the fastest but resistant to weather interference. Family: - Mother: White Lightning (https://i.imgur.com/UcpogFv.png) - Father: Open Skies (http://i.imgur.com/BgP7GOA.png) - Younger sister: Fond Feather (https://i.imgur.com/CTEDZsK.png) History: - Born in Cloudsdale - Left his family at the age of 14, seeking traveling weather/environment work rather than settling in one place. - Knowledge of wilds/unsettled zones let him escape capture for a time. - Held in a holdover facility for a little while before being sold to CYOS camp when it was starting. - Has not seen his family since long before slavery began. - Has not actually been abused, only heard of it - hence why he panics when consequences suddenly become real - Got kind of pushed into the Mocha Cream thing by Autumn Frost, panicked as soon as it set in what he had really done. Personality: - Free-ranging spirit, couldn't settle in one place back in Equestria but roved about looking for new work and experiences. - Since capture, chafes against slavery in general (though not CYOSAnonymous in particular). - Independence also drives a sense of fairness/justice. - Wanted to act out against slavery somehow, but didn't know how - Autumn Frost and others used this to urge him on. - Knew slaves could be badly, badly hurt but never directly seen it. - Since being pardoned, now uncertain of his position; regards slavery as still wrong, but is confused about rebellion. - Also much more cautious, very aware of just how close he came to being tortured/dying.

It's the kind of thing that can really change your personality. Once resold, he'd at least for a time put his plans for pushing back against slavery aside for now. Just get his training over with - it wouldn't be really humiliating, but genuinely actually teaching him new things - and get himself out of danger. Nonetheless, you can't entirely crush a desire like that - Windy Winters is not a pony who'd give up his dream of being free so easily, and so would remain distant/not a suck-up to whoever owns him. "Just get the work done, then leave me alone" kind of thing.
