Emerald Ivy (sweet-tree) war log

Emerald scouted ahead , once again ignoring her commander's orders for all members of the 2nd battalion 8th lance to stay in camp, but when you're the only Pegasus in a all unicorn and earth-pony lance it makes no sense to not use your wings to your comrades benefit. At least that's the excuse she always gives when being reprimanded. She crept further along the cloud-line trying to get a better view of the enemy camp, a passing breeze brushed away some of her cover but brought with it the distinct smell of cinnamon. This brought pangs of old memories back to the seasoned pony…equestrian hadn't always been like this…she hadn't always been like this.

Before the war she had lived in a floating greenhouse of sorts near the western edge of the Everfree forest, never quite understanding other ponies problems with it, it was different but different didn't always mean bad. She had been a baker and a farmer, growing the ingredients used in not only her own sweets and baked goods but those of sugarcube corner and apple acres orchard. The war has changed many a pony. To truly know how the war had affected her you would have to know that while she lived in Ponyville she wasn't born there. Her place of birth and where her parents lived was a small village half the size of Ponyville known as Saddlem. A nice place but they don't much care for ponies that are different from them. That's why she left, but she did still visit now and again. It was on one such visit that she found out the village wasn't there anymore… Celestia had burnt it to the ground along with everypony there. Dealing with the grief was the hard part, knowing what do to next was easy. She flew home as fast as she could muster packed a bag left her garden in the care of her friend Raindrop..and then joined the resistance of the New Lunar Republic. She wanted to make sure nopony else had go through what she had, and to dethrone Celestia and make her answer for her actions.

After scouting ahead she returned to camp to report all her findings, while she didn't always follow orders she'd be damned if she was gonna let anypony in the 8th Lance get hurt if she could stop it. The 8th healed and kept safe the other ponies of NLR and Knights, and she kept the ponies of the 8th safe.
