Name: Kinyume
Nickname(s): —
Species/Gender: Zebroid (Earth pony-Zebra)/Female
Mark/Talent: A stylized head of a Thunderbird, representing her ability to communicate and take care of birds.
Personality: Very brash and cold with other people. Always has the base assumtion that strangers don't like her. But is also extremely patient and kind with animals and small children, since "it's not their fault that they don't know better" when they bite or scream or cry.
Important relationships:
Daring Doo/A.K. Yearling (Mother) — Very strained, due to Daring being away very often for long streches of time, as well as keeping her alter-ego a secret, making Kinyume believe Daring Doo was just a fictional character until she figured it out by herself as a teenager.
Zecora (Mother) — Better than her relationship with Daring, but still a bit strained due participating in the lie.
Disco Inferno (Best friend) — One of the few people who doesn't mind her brash nature, and can see through her cold facade. She claims she's just letting him hang around, but secretly enjoys his company and is very protective of him.

History:
There is a spell that can take the DNA of two indivuals and basically create a zygote from it, meaning that as long as one of them is able to get pregnant (or they know someone who'd be willing to be pregnant for them) any pair can become biological parents. And as it requires to go out and get a spell performed, it's pretty much expected that if you have two mothers, they knew what they were doing and wanted to be parents. But that was not how Kinyume came into existance; instead she came about from the time Zecora was experimenting with poitions and got stuck as a stallion for a week. So she came very much as a suprise.

After she was born she lived with Zecora in the Everfree forest, and despite some concerns from other ponies, taking to the forest like a duck to water. She knew how to listen for dangerous animals and what to do in case she met one. She recognized most of the flora and could tell you what it was good for/how fast it could kill you. And she knew the layout of the forest, where all the landmarks and animal territories where; all before she could even read. While she was a child, she wasn't allowed to do any of this without Zecora though. But lets just say she got into trouble and got grounded often, and all of it had to do with sneaking out of the house.

Daring Doo tried to spend all her free time at home, but was often called away for "research for her new book" and "meetings with her publisher" that lasted from anywhere between a few days to weeks. As Kinyume got older they drifted apart more and more, as they simply didn't know each other very well anymore.

She went to school in Ponyville, where she shared a class with Disco Inferno, who decided that they were best friends which she just shrugged and went along with. She got her mark very late, being in her late teens at the time, by saving a sick orphaned thunderbird-hatchling. She decided to name it Thunder, showing that she did not inherit Daring's creativity. She raised it, and now enjoys the power that comes with having a giant bird able to make storms believe you're it's mother and will do anything you ask of it.

Not soon after she found out that the books her mom wrote shouldn't be in the fiction category, which had been kept a secret fom her. Daring tried to explain that she had many enemies and was just trying to keep Kinyume safe, but she felt very betrayed and decided to move out. She noe studies to become a vet in Canterlot, but due to Thunder she still lives in house in the outskirts of Ponyville, and commutes for an hour every day.

Trivia:
Her magic is very based on flora; like most earth ponies she is very good with plants, and her zebra heritage makes her able to better tell what properties different plants would give to potions. She's physically much weaker than other earth ponies though, being about as strong as a pegasus.

While some zebroids actually are able to have children, Kinyume is infertile. She doesn't now this yet, but is aware of the statistics.

Used to be able to speak Zecora's mothertongue (not sure what the language is/should be called) fluently, but is very rusty from not speaking it in everyday life.

Can easily come up with rhymes, and often speaks in it to annoy ponies. This isn't some kind of born ability, but rather just from being raised by Zecora.

Would very much like to have another manestyle, but cannot get it to do anything but stand straight up. Even when going to professional mane stylists, it goes back into a mohawk-shape after a few hours.
