Her backstory:
Camilia was born in a family that has been serving under Celestia’s royalties for 7 generations as their personal guards. Camilia is Javelin’s neighbor and also his childhood friend. She was a curious and active filly, those are the key personalities leading to the discovery of her cutiemark.

Camilia didn’t find her calling until the late teenage years. It was a rainy day, she was supposed to return home after going to the local market, rather be late than get wet, she decided to stay under a tree along the road. She noticed that she stepped on something, when looked down it looks just like a lump of metal, but when she decided to look closer she noticed an unusual thing; it has carvings and date of production printed on top showing it existed 20 years ago. Curious, she tried digging the dirt out by her own, little by little, the mysterious object are more and more recognizable. The thing she stepped on was it’s end, later on, the shaft began to exposed, apparently this is a polearm type weapon, or is it? She just kept digging, some times later, the mysterious object turned out to be a gunlance (this doesn’t have anything to do Monster HunterTM), Camilia actually haven’t seen a single gunlance in real life till now. She did hear about it in school but just didn’t care about it much, she even said she wanted to be a merchant that time. Her interest sparked like a fire, many questions popped up in her head. Who buried this? Why did they do this? Why is the gunlance still in good after a whole 20 years? Her mind was really baffled during that moment. She made up her mind and carried the gunlance (with the groceries stuffs, of course) back home, she didn’t give any cents about getting wet anymore, she just wanted to find out more about that gunlance as the thing instigated her more and more.

Back at home, her parents was, obviously, surprised by what their daughter brought home. She really didn’t what caused her to made that decision bringing it home. She went to sleep as she will investigate it tomorrow, she really couldn’t sleep that night. The next day, she began researching. She went to the library to look things up before, in her mind, try using it. They didn’t teach her anything about a gunlance during high school.

• The gunlance, basically a mix between a gun and a lance, was first developed by the royal armament scientist Sprocker. The first prototype is rumored to have been built 35 years ago, it could be sooner though. Sprocker’s first thought when creating the gunlance is he wanted it to be a conventional mean for taking out dragons and giant beasts.

• A standard gunlance has the penetrating power of a heavy tier lance and the devastating firepower of a cannon, goes well with a giant sized shield, combine them and you have a mini-tank unit. But due to the size and weight, using a gunlance is really really hard. A gunlance itself is more than 100 pounds (50kg), plus the shield and the armor. It’s like carrying a jeep on your back, because of that, the gunlance units is the least favorite unit, according to a military academy job-choosing survey. Most of those who chose the gunlance job are earth ponies, they have the strength.

• As mentioned above, gunlances fit most for dealing big monster not smaller opponents, the thing suffers greatly in close combat with fast enemies as gunlancers are very slow due to the weights they’re carrying. After the Griffon Conflict (not associate with any things from the show nor any fanfictions in existence), gunlance’s productions came to a halve. There are not much gunlancers left, some quitted, others changed jobs. They’re now the ‘auxiliary force’ in the royal.

Camilia read every books and writings that relates to the gunlance, she memorized some techniques, knew the risks of using it, but she didn’t want to give up. She borrowed some books and went home.

Her gunlance was a model from 20 years ago, named ‘Teger MIV’ used as a weapon to oppress the Earthen Beast of the South. The thing is really rare nowadays, she’s just that lucky, she still have no idea who buried it though.

And so she began her own training, she didn’t need a master as she couldn’t find one, only books. She tried swinging, doing just like what it said in the manual. After the day, it hurt like hell, that thing was really heavy. The next day she tried firing the gun, it’s iconic feature, she found there’re still bullets in the chamber, all in good conditions. The manual said that ‘in order to fire the gun, one must stand their ground, press the button on the shaft, release the trigger, pull the trigger, enjoy the recoil.’. She was desperated to try it out, standing in front of a dummy, she shot. A bright fire came bursting out of the barrel, a booming loud noise escaped, hurting her eardrums, the recoil was so much it knock her back into the ground. After regaining her senses, she looked at the damage it caused to the dummy, it was a burning mess. Mesmerized by it’s destructive power, she wanted to hold control of it, master it. That’s when she found her cutiemark, a gunlance symbol. From that day on started practicing nearly every days then. With each days passed, she became more used to it, she felt stronger, she didn’t want to pursue her old dream anymore, she wanted to be a gunlancer. So she succeeded, it was a whole ‘nother story.

Now with the upcoming of the Heroes tournament event, she eagerly try to train as much as possible to prepare for the day, she even invited her friend Javelin for the cause.
