Name: Wind Whistler
Canon: My Little Pony (G1 Cartoon)
OU/AU/OC: OU
Canon Point: post-series
History: Unfortunately, the pony wiki's entry on Wind Whistler is only about her toy so I'll attempt to sum things up.
(Before we start, I want to note that I'm one of the people who headcanon that the G1 series takes place untold centuries in the past of FiM, but I totally understand if the mods aren't and am happy to work with whatever they want to go with in the relation of G1 to G4. I figure there's enough differences that it also would totally make sense if they were alternate universes instead. But if we do go with G1 and FiM being the same world, separated only by time, then the G1 show probably took place after the three tribes united but before Luna and Celestia showed up)
So! Once upon a time there was a tribe of brightly colored talking pastel ponies that lived in a magical land named Dream Valley--although perhaps it might be more accurately named “Nightmare Gorge.” You see, until the ponies arrived at Dream Valley, this land of fertile pastures and pleasant streams was monster-infested wasteland, menaced by generations of witches living in the Volcano of Gloom—and they were by no means the worst villains, just the most constant. Some generations ago, the ponies reclaimed this land for the united three tribes—by what means we do not know, though we suspect it involved the Heart of Ponyland and possibly the Rainbow of Light—and managed to civilize it somewhat, building Dream Castle and reducing the number of monsters and villains to a manageable number. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the pony's home, it was impossible to bring completely and total peace. Sun Tzu perhaps summarized it best at the conclusion of his Dream Valley Danger Tally: Dream Valley is constantly out to kill you. It's like Australia, Sunnydale and Ravenloft met at an orgy, and spawned this abberation, then woke up in the morning and freaked out when they realized Care-A-Lot and Disneyland had also participated.
Into this seemingly bucolic land of danger, a clever young mare named Wind Whistler was born. The details of her early life are unknown to us. We can surmised that she grew up in the pastures surrounding Dream Castle and that she was there during Tirac's failed quest to bring the Night That Never Ends and the pony's successful ploy to break Katrina from both her drug habit and her even nastier habit of enslaving bushwoolies, but it isn't until the witches of the Volcano of Gloom unleash the dreaded Smooze upon Dream Valley that Wind Whistler begins to take a larger role in the affairs of dream Valley. Along with North Star she flies over the rainbow to find Megan, the human girl who'd wielded the Rainbow of Light against Tirac—and at the same time, finding a friend. For Wind Whistler and Megan would indeed become close friends over the time that Megan and her younger siblings spent in Ponyland—perhaps Wind Whistler's closest, as Megan certainly seemed to understand the erudite pegasus more than the other ponies did.
Over the months following, the ponies would face any number of foes. It would take to long to list them all—especially when the above linked Danger Tally does it so well—but some of the highlights include evil flowers, the dragon mafia, fascist penguins, and Lavan. Throughout it all, Wind Whistler would constantly demonstrate much-needed logic and clear-thinking. (Perhaps the best example was in the Crunch the Rockdog incident, where Wind Whistler bravely tricked Crunch into letting her bring Megan close enough to him so that she could defeat him.) Her last big adventure in the series was The Quest for the Golden Horseshoes, in which she and Paradise ended up rescuing Megan and the rest of their party from a family of squabbling (and huge) goblins.
Personality: See the journal name? That's completely deliberate. Wind Whistler is basically Mr. Spock, if Mr. Spock had been a cute little blue pegasus mare. She likes logic. No, she loves logic. If it were possible to have a logic cutie mark—and if the Dream Valley ponies didn't seem to inherit their cutie marks instead of earn them during puberty—Wind Whistler would have a logic cutie mark. Wind Whistler is the kind of pony who—while the rest of the ponies are bawling like babies after listening to a book which ends with the hero leaving his true love forever—will dare to question why the hero of the story just galloped off into the sunset when it's illogical to begin a journey when the sun is setting.
Which in turn has gotten some of the more emotional ponies—I'm looking at YOU, Truly—to accuse Wind Whistler of lacking feelings. This is completely untrue. In Wind Whistler's own words: “I have feelings. I merely refrain from expressing them at the drop of a hat.” Stoic is probably the best word for it. She's definitely the pony you can rely upon to keep a calm head when everyone else is freaking out—and this is probably why Megan relies on her.
She's pragmatic. During the Crunch the Rockdog incident, after Gusty was turned to stone (she got better later), Truly and Buttons want to go back and—somehow, they're fuzzy about how—save her, but Wind Whistler urges the party to keep running, as they really can't help Gusty now and the more important thing is to get away from Crunch and reach the Purple Mountain without any further causalities.
Like most of the ponies of Dream Valley, Wind Whistler is in possession of a brave, kind heart. She's always willing to work together to fight back against whatever might be threatening her home and her friends.
Strengths: Wind Whistler is smart. Really, really, really smart. She was pretty much the Twilight Sparkle of G1. She's also sensible, logical, and a very good actress. Also, because of the world that Wind Whistler grew up in—which had multiple near-human species, including elves, goblins, and grundels—she's very much used to the concept of non-quadruped intelligent species. And as mentioned before, she's brave.
Weaknesses: She's a little too stoic, which has in the past led to accusations of having no feelings from her fellow ponies. (This is of course not true—Wind Whistler has feelings, she's just not good at showing them.) Sometimes her sesquipedalian loquaciousness gets out of hand, confusing the other ponies she talks to. Also, Wind Whistler is so logic-driven that she has a hard time understanding the more emotional ponies of Dream Valley, which has also led to personality clashes.
Possessions: ON HER REJOINING THE GAME AFTER GOING BACK TO PONYLAND, WIND WHISTLER NOW POSSESSES A RED HEART-SHAPED LOCKED WHICH HOUSES THE RAINBOW OF LIGHT. That's all, unless you count the bow on her tail and the dictionary she must have swallowed as a foal
Pony/Animal Type: Pegasus!
Cutie Mark: Five whistles, three pink and two dark blue
Pony Picture: As she appeared in G1, seen here hugging Megan, G4-style

She really wasn't in Dream Valley anymore.
Wind Whistler trots down the street of Ponyville, eyes wide as she takes in the sights. A village! A whole village full of ponies, with shops and private residences and civic buildings! It was like the stories Megan had told them about her homeland on the other side of the rainbow. None of the buildings were nearly as impressive as Dream Castle or Paradise Estate, of course, but the very fact that these ponies felt secure enough in their land that the entire population didn't live in one building was in her mind a wholly favorable trade—she'd always wondered what it might be to have her own residence, as Megan told her that adult humans so often did.
Just as much as the buildings, the population itself was startling. Stallions! Stallions living alongside mares! More stallions than Wind Whistler had ever seen at one time—and more ponies as well. Why, Wind Whistler wouldn't be surprised if this single settlement was nearly as populous as the whole united tribes of Dream Valley! And this wasn't even a large settlement either, she'd been told—nothing like Manehattan or Canterlot.
Oh brave new world, which has such ponies in it!
(It was odd, though. Quite a few of the foals she'd seen hadn't had any cutie marks to speak of, though they ought to have inherited their mother's.)
