Name: Kailani Pone Hoofspen, “Kail”
Age: 21 (but only looks 16ish)
Type: G1 Pegasus
Symbol: Black fish on one side, black seabird on the other.
Appearance: Kail has a sea-green body with a long sky-blue mane and tail. Along with the symbol on her flank, she has a second symbol of a healing heart on her chest that is a darker sea green.
Abilities/Powers /Special Talents: Kail has the power to heal both herself and others of nearly every wound imaginable. With the power of the Rainbow's green stripe, Kail can heal any wound, no matter the severity. She also gives off a lot of heat under normal circumstances, like a towel just out of the dryer.
Despite being able to heal many wounds for long periods of time, it does tax her, and the longer it takes to heal someone, or the more wounds she heals, the weaker she feels and the longer she has to rest afterwards. This is the case even when the Rainbow has been helping her.
Kail has also been trained with weapons (swords, spears, bows), although she prefers not to use them after that little mishap with Razzarroo.
Although physical wounds have no lasting effect on Kail, she is susceptible to mental wounds. She falls prey to anyone who can control the mind, and cannot heal anyone that is under mind control.
Personality: Kail has the maturity of a pony twice her age most of the time. Still, while she's had more than her fair share of "life" experiences, they mostly range into the extremes, leaving her with a void where normal life experiences should be. She tends to think she can handle every problem that comes her way herself, and isn't used to having to depend on others for help. When she can't deal with a problem herself she tends to get into a depressed funk.
Oh, and mentioning her age immediately makes her self-conscious, because she looks so much younger than she really is.
Items/Accessories/Companions: Kail wears a gold compass about her neck, although she doesn’t know what it is or where it came from.
Birthplace/Home world: Born in Dream Valley, lived in G3 Ponyville (not the Ponyville from MLP:FiM).
History: Kail started her long, interesting history while still in the womb; her mother was shot by a poisoned arrow, and her uncle saved their lives by giving up his shard of the Healing Stone. As the magic seeped through the wound and into their system, most of the healing energy was transferred to the filly, who retained it after her birth.
As Kail grew, she suffered from all the things children suffer from: bumps and bruises, scrapped knees and chicken pox. She recovered at an alarmingly quick pace, however, and by the time she was four was healing others as well. Which was a good thing, because her adoptive sister was about to get herself into a world of trouble.
Without going into Karma's entire backstory I'll just say that she got herself nearly killed. As the excited baby Kail squirmed out of her mother’s arms and ran to her sister (not understanding what was happening), Karma began healing. All Kail remembers from it was getting extra cookies that night.
Mostly, the 20 year peace in Dream Valley meant that there wasn't much for Kail to heal, and she went through most of her young life not really conscious of her powers. The only tell-tale sign that something strange was going on began when she stopped aging at the tender age of fifteen. In the time it has taken her to reach her 21st birthday, she's aged about a year, and those who first meet her assume she is no older than sixteen.
Despite the fact that Kail still hadn't realized the extent of her power by the age of 18, the Rainbow of Light did, and when things started going against its wishes in Course (namely the Dark Rainbow came to help the evil Glasya), it felt the need to do something drastic. Breaking out of the locket, it found Kail and her family (the females are all healers), and took them across the ocean to Course, where Bella, Kail's mother, began fighting, and Karma, her sister, immediately began to help heal the wounded.
Although Kail had been taught to fight by her mother and uncle, she was overwhelmed by the violence and the site of the Dark Rainbow. She'd never seen anything so inherently evil, and the hordes of dark ponies at Glasya's command had her shocked into immobility until Princess Celeste (NOT Celestia) screamed and started cantering back through the town and into the castle.
Kail watched as the Dark Rainbow took off after the Princess before making up her mind to do the same. Flying, she followed them into the halls of the palace and up to Celeste's room, where the Rainbow of Light was trying to protect the Princess the best it could. The filly was waving an oversized sword at the Dark Rainbow as Kail ran into the room, catching its attention. Wanting to rid itself of this harmless-looking filly so it could get down to the business at hand, the Dark Rainbow turned, hitting Kail full forced in the chest, driving as much of its energy into her as it could. She stumbled back and fell to the ground, unconscious, but the diversion had taken the Dark Rainbow's attention from the Princess and the Rainbow of Light long enough for them to attack. With the Rainbow of Light wrapping itself around the sword, Celeste was able to cut the Dark Rainbow into its separate stripes, and it howled as it flew away in ribbons of black, putting as much distance between itself and Course as possible before finally falling back to the ground in the Northern Continent.
But despite the Dark Rainbow's defeat, Kail was dying. Even a healer of her magnitude could not take on the Dark Rainbow on their own, and the dark energy coursing through her system was killing her, slowly and painfully. The Rainbow flew her to her mother and sister in a vain effort to have them help, but Kail was already clinically dead. Without knowing what else could be done, her sister grabbed hold of what thin thread remained of her living aura and kept it from further retracting as the Rainbow of Light swept the three of them to the ocean. Delphinbella called the family of dolphins that were Kail's “grandparents” (Bella’s story is another strange one), and using the Dolphin's Song, the pod was able to restore Kail to life. There is nothing stronger than the healing power of the dolphins.
As she recovered at home, her parents worry and over-protection started to really get on her nerves, and when her best friend Velocity announced her plan to move to Ponyville and start classes at UPV, Kail was all for it. It took a bit of convincing her parents, but Kail was soon on her way to the new big city with her best friend, and whatever adventures awaited her there.
C03 History:
Kail found a job right away as the assistant to Ms. Sunny Daze, movie star diva, after curing her of a hangover. Ms. D put her and Velocity up in the extravagant castle immediately, and the two of them started off their new lives in relative peace. But the stripes of the Dark Rainbow had all landed near Ponyville, and were congregating at the same time that Kail was moving to the new city. Each assuming the other dead, it didn't register at first for either side who they were in the same town with. Kail would feel queasy whenever one of the monochrome dark ponies was around, and the stripes could not believe that the pegasus was still alive.
They managed to trap Kail, along with most of the other residents of the castle, in a large cage in the throne room. Talking back to the Rainbow with false bravado had only worsened the situation, and before Kail could stop her, Tawny, the mustard yellow stripe of the Dark Rainbow, cut her throat. Kail had just enough time to scream for the Rainbow of Light's help before her trachea was severed and she could no longer breathe.
As she lay in a puddle of her own blood, gasping for air that could not make it to her lungs, Kail was sure that this time she would die for good. But the Rainbow had heard her call, and had once again broke from its golden prison, splitting into each of its own stripes and taking over seven ponies - the Champions of the Rainbow. As the green stripe entered Kail's body it healed her broken flesh and accepted her promise to fight for it always.
During the battle that followed, nothing could harm Kailani, strong with the Rainbow's healing stripe as she was. Broken bones mended in minutes, cuts and stabs were gone in the blink of an eye, and it was only those who could harm her mind that had any power over her at all. As the castle came crashing down around them, the Champions and the Dark Stripes congregated at Razz's Curiosity Shop for the final battle. As Kail tried desperately to keep the seventh stripe alive, the others tried desperately to figure out how to trap the rest of the evil stripes. Eventually a pony popsicle was formed out of the evil indigo stripe, with all the other evil stripes trapped inside. The Rainbow of Light took the pony popsicle away, and Kail, exhausted by her efforts, passed out in Razzaroo's bed.
The next morning, as they tried to reconcile themselves with the fact that the Rainbow was gone, it returned, instilling in them a small part of their stripe again, and leaving Kail with the symbol of the healing heart on her chest. With the castle ruined and Velocity returning to Dream Valley, Kail found herself homeless and friendless. As she wondered where she could sleep at night, Razz suggested buying the old Nursery across from his shop and making it into a homeless shelter of sorts, for all the currently homeless ponies (and there were many after the War of the Rainbows). And so, Kail became Co-owner of the Ponyville Nursery and Homeless Shelter, affectionately referred to as simply the Nursery.
As Ponyville healed, and folks eventually rebuilt their homes and lives, the Nursery was left with only the orphaned children, and Kail became a surrogate mother to them all. With Razz's help, she was able to keep it running since the War, and in the meantime developed a strong friendship with Razzaroo and Strawberry Swirl, another mare who moved in to help with running the Nursery.
As her feelings for Razz grew, Kail tried to ignore them, instead focusing on the foals and raising enough money to keep the bills paid. It seemed Razz was also ignoring her feelings towards him, until Swirl's friend Triple Treat showed up, complete with a fair share of cash to help pay the bills. Kail immediately took to him (because of his personality, not the cash...although it helped ease the stress she'd been feeling about bills), but when the Gods attacked Ponyville and Kail accidentally shot Razzaroo with one of her poisoned arrows during the battle, her entire perspective changed. Thinking Razz to be dead, Kail let out all of her anger onto the gods, and eventually helped turned the tide against them. But before she could convince anyone that the gods were false, she saw a stripe of the Dark Rainbow - one of the ponies she had fought against the year before. Thinking the Rainbow had somehow gotten loose, Kail gave up. It was only Razz's voice in her head, when she realized he was alive, that she finally found the strength to fight Glasye.
Seeing to the rest of Razz’s wounds after the battle, Kail and Razzaroo made promises to each other that they would never leave the other's side, no matter the pain it caused. And things began to get back to normal; the winter as cold and silent as ever, and spring returning on time with only a few sniffles here and there. As Kail packed for a week trip to see her parents in Dream Valley, her sister Karma came to take care of the children. Feeling they would be in safe enough hoofs for the week, Kail started her relaxing vacation, only to wake two days later to the news that the Rainbow had been stolen. She called Razz, who contacted the rest of the Champions while she went to find a boat to take them after the pirates who stole the locket. The only ones willing to help were another pirate ship, and so Kail, and the Champions, found themselves stuck on a slow moving ship, amidst a crew of none-too-nice pirates, arguing with each other (Discord’s work!) after a very stupid stunt that Kail pulled to try to find out where the locket was being taken. They were nearly to Course when a storm destroyed the ship, and Kail and Razz went overboard.
Other: When Kail and Razz journeyed through the Rift, they lost their stripes of the Rainbow.

And feel free to take her to Eclipse. Kail won't join her (the Dark Rainbow came from Eclipse, and Kail can feel the presence of the DR, so she'll know Eclipse is a bad guy) but they can have some fun >
