Dusty Gale

A quiet and sickly pegasus with an array of health issues. Feeling like a burden to her widowed father, she tries to deny her sickness but winds up pushing herself too hard and getting herself hurt. She has a strong desire for athletics and looks up to Rainbow Dash. However, because of her conditions she can never play. She and her father used to live in Manehattan before her respiratory illness made it impossible to live in the polluted city air, so they moved to Ponyville so she could recover. She misses her friends and family back in her home town.
