So Starleaf suggested that we make a page to share the backstories of our Star foals. With what we are going through with the Star foals I think this is important to share our Star foal's back stories. (Starleaf if you mind I made this I'll delete it) Just make your backstories how ever you want them.

Windborn's backstory:
Windboorn was born in Sky herd, the same herd Vida and Kifo were born in. His dam was named, Mistburr and his adoptive sire was named, Thunderbrook. The whole herd was terrified of him because of his black and green coat. He was bullied by all foals exept one, a filly named Starlight. She and him got into so many scrapes.
Windborn galloped as fast as he could, fear making him faster. "Hurry Starlight! Hurry!" He cried to his 4 month old friend as they ran.
"I'm trying!" Starlight whinnied though her strength was failing and she was slowing down.
"Stop!" Strikewing roared.
Windborn raced till both He and Starlight were too tired to run anymore. Then when they stopped, standing with shaking legs. The captains from Strikewing's army surrounded them.
"I'm sorry Windborn, I cant run any more." Starlight said tears filling her eyes.
"You did the best you could Starlight. We both did.... No matter what you are my best friend!" Windborn said.
Strikewing walked over to them and said. "You are both sentanced to death and your parents my either die or be banished, what ever they wish." He said.
His captain, Harshsight walked over to them, leading Mistburr and Thunderbrook. "I brought you them like you asked." He said.
Mistburr looked behind her and saw the foals, Vida and Kifo. They were so small and young. So trusting.... not knowing the danger of the real world. "Me and Thunderbrook will be banished." She said and tears filled her eyes as she thought of leaving Windborn. "Can he not come with us?" She asked.
Strikewing shook his head, "The colt and the filly die," He pointed to Starlight and Windborn, "and you can die with them or you can leave this herd and never ever return."
Windborn looked at his mother, with her new foals. And knew that he would die alone. "Mama please." he said.
Mistburr turned to Thunderbrook. "Lets go." Her voice broke and she cried as soon as she was out of Windborn's sight. (She never saw him again)
Windborn struggled to hold back his tears as he said his final words to Starlight, "You are my best friend. I am so so sorry." After he finished speaking he saw Strikewing give the death blow to his best friend and braced for his own. It came seconds later and he died quickly. He saw Starlight's spirit going to the golden meadow and expected to be there soon. It never happened.
He stayed in that in between for almost 7 months before he apeared to Vida and she brought him to life.
(Sorry it is a tad bit dark)
I’ll do Anblick’s backstory first since I think it’s the easiest to explain.
Anblick was born in Ash herd to his dam, Petalclear(I think that was her name) As soon as he was born, Petalclear knew he was a Star foal, but she didn‘t care and loved him deeply. Unlike the other dams that gave birth to Star foals, she didn’t die at birth. The birth only weakened her.
She told him stories, tickled him, played with him, and sang him lullabies, and for the first few weeks, everything was peaceful and happy. That was until he became a weanling. (All of this is before Duskwing’s reign. I feel that he would never do anything like this)
Anblick had always been a quiet colt- he never picked fights and he rarely spoke- so that made him an easy target for bullies. He was beaten and bullied constantly, which is why he can get easily intimidated and scared. His mother tried to help him, but she was growing weaker by the day. When it was time, the over stallion summoned Anblick and his mother. “Anblick, you are banished from Ash herd. You are to go to the Trap and never return.” Anblick was immediately terrified. He crouched, but followed orders. “NO!!!! Anblick, my son! Please, don’t banish him.” His mother’s voice sounded right before Anblick was about to leave. Petalclear fell to her knees and bowed her head, “Please...banish me instead. Allow Anblick to stay. Let me take his place.” She begged, and as Anblick sobbed in protest, the over stallion refused. “No, Petalclear. Are you mad? He will destroy Anok.”
“He will not! Not my Anblick! He is too pure and kind-hearted. He will unite the herds and protect us. I believe in him!” His mother rushed to stand next to her terrified colt. Even though she was weak with fever, she stood strong.
”If you believe in him so much, then you are to be banished along with him.”
And just like that, both Anblick and his mother were banished from Ash herd. They flew together to the Trap, protecting each other from the cold nights with their warm love for each other.
About 3 days before they reached the Trap, a brown grizzly bear attacked the mother and son. Petalclear, who was more weak and sick than ever, was easily attacked by the bear. Anblick tried to help her, but he was a scared, weanling colt, so he couldn’t do much.
Surprisingly, the bear left before claiMing her prize. Anblick rushed to Petalclear once the bear was gone. He started wailing and trembling at the sight of her. Her wings were torn to shreds and her stomach and chest had long scratch marks. The last words Petalclear spoke to Anblick was, “Be brave, my colt. Go to the Trap and trust yourself. I will forever be with you.” And with that, his dam was gone. Anblick cried over her for hours, his wet tears sprouting golden flowers around her broken body. He knew other predators would come and finish her, so he couldn’t stay with her. With a heavy heart filled with grief and sadness, he left his mother and continued to the Trap alone.
Phew!! That was a lot longer than expected!! Yup! That’s the backstory of Anblick.
This is Estrel's back story. Sorry if it doesn't match up with what his story was before.
(Estrel was born in Willow herd to Gentlecloud his dam, A past leadmare of Willow herd. He was born with strange black and white markings all over his body but no one thought much about it till he was 6 months old)
"Estrel come out of the lake!" Gentlecloud called to her son.
Estrel shook his head his mane bouncing around him. "No I want to play Mama!" he said laughing.
Gentlecloud sighed, she wished Starbrook was here. "Estrel lets go rest in the sun." She said wincing in pain.
Estrel galloped over to his mother and laid in the grass with her, "Can you tell me a stwry?" He asked her with a smile.
Starbrook stood behind them both and said, his voice deep and rumbling, "How about I tell you a story little one?"
Gentlecloud looked up at him, "You're back..." She didn't rise to greet him.
Starbrook looked at her worridly but spoke with a forced light voice to Estrel, "Lay down and I will tell you a story."
Estrel laid down and looked up at Starbrook. "Stwry!"
Starbrook told Estrel a story about Star the healer and Morningleaf, his best friend. As soon as his colt had fallen asleep he spoke to Gentlecloud, "What's wrong? Is the baby kicking?" He asked her gently, as he laid a wing on her stomach.
Gentlecloud shook her head, "No I think that the baby is fine but I need to see the medicine mare." She said.
Starbrook sighed. "I have to go before Estrel wakes up." He said standing, "I love you so much Gentlecloud." He said.
Gentlecloud nuzzled him, "I love you too." (Little did she know that would be the last time she ever saw him)
Starbrook left his small family and joined his battalion, "Lets go spies." he said and flew away with a backward glance at him herd.
Estrel felt someone bite his ear hard. "Help!" He squealed waking up quickly. He was surrounded by strangers and they were bitting and snapping at him. He stood quickly and seeing his mother guarded by many stallions he followed where they told him to go. He soon saw the overstallion.
And at that second Gentlecloud raced at the overstallion kicking him before she was subdued with a shark kick to a wing, breaking it at the base. "Not my colt!"
The overstallion nodded to his captain.
Captain Iceclaw said, "You Estrel... Will be banished. And your mother... Will die this day."
Estrel was escorted away as he heard the death blow that killed his mother. Tears slid down his face as he walked away from the only home and only family he had ever known (He joined up with the other foals almost 6 months ater)
Awesome!!! Thanks Starleaf and Windfeather! I’ll comment my OC’s backstories later. I hate typing long paragraphs on my phone lol
