Salvia

Salvia Magelight is an older unicorn that resides in south-east Ponyville. She lives on 13th street in the 13th block, on the 13th house. Said house has 13 windows and 13 support pillars. Needless to say, the home is very comfortable. While she does reside there, she frequently travels all over Equestria and only returns home on rare occasions.

Early Childhood
Born to an apostate and an adventurer, Salvia's foalhood was full of travel. It was rare to stay in one location for longer than a month, following her parent's agenda constantly. Once she came of age, she assisted in these adventures. She became very fluient in basic magic abilities very quickly, mastering concepts of magic shortly after being given them. Her true calling was found out however inside of a dungeon, unsurprisingly.

Cutie Mark/Robes
During a battle against the defenses of a certain dungeon, Salvia became seperated from her family and fell into a dark tunnel. All magicial ways of lighting the tunnel failed her, forcing the young mage to move by feel, and eventually by hope. After what seemed like days, a small light caught her eye. With hope renewed, she sprinted to the light, and appeared in a small graveroom. Lining the room's walls were glyphs and images of light, and radience. The center attraction of the room however was the seemingly floating robe and staff that provided all the room's light. Upon touching the robe, the lights flickered. Light filled the room once more, and the robe was being worn by Salvia. Later she would discover that her cutie mark, a radiently lit staff, had also appeared. With her newfound power, escaping from the dungeon and reuniting with her parents only took hours. The couple had retreated and were planning a rescue, that night they planned a party.

Brass Banner
Once becoming of adult age, Salvia began to adventure on her own as her parents had offically retired to Canterlot. She became partners with several other ponies ,namely, Alexis Machine, Amalthea Blackborn, Ignatius Shalatour, and Hayes Geardome. Over the years and over many adventures, the company or the Brass Banner as they called themselves became a very famous group among adventurers, causing many spinoff and knockoff parties to form and quickly disband. As the party aged past their young selves, their exploits grew less and less frequent. With the unfortunate death of Ignatius Shalatour, the Brass Banner offically disbanded, and a pyre funeral held to the deceased request. Each member of the company kept a part of their halmark, the Brass Banner, Salvia keeping its tassel.

Post BB
In the years after the disbanding, Salvia grew deeper into her studies, refining and perfecting the magics of light. Through this study, she decided that becoming a scholar would be the best course of action. During this period, a massive archive was amassed, not a single book in it unread by Salvia.
