Description

For :icontender1kenobi:´s OC contest. Only non-pony characters. Go ahead and send him your OC! It´s for a MLP:FiM fan-comic!: tender1kenobi.deviantart.com/j…

Since it couldn´t be a pony...It took me a lot to get a good idea...
I searched, and I searched...Then I decided to look for Equine fantastic/mythological creatures...But nope...No good ideas...Until my cousin mentioned the Thestrals the other day...BING!

Thestrals are some of the magical creatures from the Harry Potter saga, both books and movies. They appear for the first time in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, both the book and the movie.
I must admit, I´m not a big Harry Potter fan...But they´re certain things (and characters) that I really loved.

Now, in my head cannon, Thestrals in Equestria will be quite different from the original ones, so if you´re interested in knowing the characteristics of HP´s Thestrals, check out this link: harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/The…

Now, for the description of my OC:
:bulletpurple: Name: Umbra Vesper
(The UMBRA -Latin for "shadow"- is the innermost and darkest part of a shadow, where the light source is completely blocked by the occluding body.)
(VESPERS is the sunset evening prayer service in the Western Catholic, Eastern (Byzantine) Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran liturgies of the canonical hours. The word comes from the Greek ἑσπέρα ("hespera") and the Latin vesper, meaning "evening.")
:bulletpurple: Gender: Male
:bulletpurple: Age: Colt
:bulletpurple: Breed: Thestral
(A THESTRAL is a breed of winged horses with a skeletal body, face with reptilian features, and wide, leathery wings that resemble a bat's. Their fleshless, lustrous bodies are covered with a translucent and glossy coat. This smooth and dark skin is a bit slippery and so thin that Thestral's bones are clearly defined through the entire extension of their sleek bodies.
In Equestria, Thestrals have been long-time enemies of the Alicorns. Thestrals have wings and they´re capable of casting dark magic with their horns. Hated by the Alicorns due to the destruction they caused to their lands, and feared by the other ponies and creatures of Equestria, the Thestrals have been outcast to far away lands.
Any relation between ponies and Thestrals since then has been considered "forbidden" or "taboo".
Thestrals live in dessert or warm places, because of their anatomy, they cannot survive to extreme colds and cool weathers. They also cover themselves with their wings when they sleep; adult Thestrals cover their foals with their wings for protection and warmth.)

Umbra Vesper, in his childish innocence and curiosity, wants to meet the "ponies" his family always talks about with so much anger.
Growing up, he wants to prove to everyone that he has great courage. He travels to Equestria. But there, he isn´t recieved very well, and he begins to fear.
He hides from the eyes of everypony. Until, noticing that he´s just a small colt, some ponies take him, and start to trust him.
Umbra can be shy at first, because he knows that he´s appearance is quite shocking. But he´s always ready to open his heart to new friends. Extremely curious, he finds bravery in friendship, and adventure is all he wants: to meet the world. Not much of a talker, but when he does, he always says the right thing at the right moment.
Quiet and silent, his soul is so strong, that his presence and company is noticed by everypony.

I guess that´s all...Hope you like it! ;)
