IN CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Hayate, Guardian Of Angel Falls
Canon:Dragon Quest IX
OU/AU/OC:OU
Canon Point:Post-Game
History:http://dragonquest.wikia.com/wiki/Hero_%28Dragon_Quest_IX%29
Personality: Much like Mako, Hayate is from a game where the MC is a blank slate designed for the player to project on. Some things can be inferred, however: Since the game starts with the Protagonist finishing their training, it can be assumed that they are the age of majority among Celestrians. Their mentor, Aquila, is a high-ranking Celestrian, student of the greatest member of their race - presumably, as Aquila's first student, the protagonist is something of a prodigy.
That's the base from which Hayate developed; naturally she's gone to some pretty weird places since then. This is me we're talking about, after all.
First of all: Celestrians are kind of jerks. The time you spend among them in-game reveals that a lot of them guide humanity out of a sense of pity - mortals are such dull, plodding creatures, they need the superior guidance of the Celestrian race to accomplish anything worthwhile. This is not hyperbole. This is a thing that is actually said. Hayate, due to her time among mortals, has mostly shed this belief, but it can sneak back in when she's sufficiently distracted.
In her personal dealings, she tends to be...open is probably the best word. She doesn't lie or dissemble, mostly because by the time she thinks of it she's already spilled the beans. Her general reaction to evil is to throw herself at it head first, get killed, and then spend some time grinding before throwing herself at it headfirst again.
Oh right. As a Dragon Quest Protagonist, death is less The Final Doorway Through Which All Must Pass and more like...the common cold. As in you can pay a licensed professional to treat it. So Hayate's standard battle plans include such things as constantly getting killed in battle until she's satisfied she knows enough about their fighting style that she can completely clown them.
Edit: She has a few bad habits - when she focuses on something, the rest of the world might as well not exist for all the notice she pays it. Like all Dragon Quest characters, she doesn't really have a sense of 'personal property' - she will walk into someone's home, chat with them a bit, and then ransack all their pots, barrels, drawers, and cupboards. On at least one occasion, she has walked into a house, had a nice conversation with the residents, ransacked their wardrobe for a cute pink miniskirt, and changed into it right there. While they were watching. It was all perfectly routine for them. She will climb down wells looking for treasure or conversation - yes, people totally live in wells, it's perfectly normal - and she does not consider this even remotely strange. If called out on it, her responses can range from 'if you wanted to keep it, you wouldn't have put it in your dresser' to 'in what bizarro opposite land is this theft?'
In addition, any random request someone makes of her will be fulfilled, no matter how bizarre or outlandish it may be - from 'i will trade you flowers if you bring me spiderwebs' to 'go beat up mummies and bring me their wrappings to make bandages from', she'll smile, nod, and go do exactly that thing.
Essentially: she's polite, honest, eager to help, and friendly to a fault, but this is balanced out by the simple fact that her base cultural assumptions seem barking mad.
Strengths: As an Armamentalist, Hayate has power over the mystical Fource, allowing her to imbue others with elemental auras to provide attack and defense boosts. In addition, she has access to spells designed to hinder enemies and aid allies. As a Dragon Quest protagonist, she also possesses an extremely keen sense of stock RPG cliches, born from long experience with those self-same cliches.
Weaknesses: Because her world runs on RPG cliches, she's recklessly headstrong, shockingly naive, and easily tripped up over things most would take for granted. She is also, by the standards of literally everyone else ever, a kleptomaniac.
Possessions: Artificial halo, Uber Falcon Sword, Dragon Warrior Armor, Armamentalist Hat
Pony Type: Pegasus
Cutie Mark: Halo over a winged shield

SAMPLES
First Person:"Okay, so. Nice to meet you! I'm Hayate, Guardian of Angel Falls, and I'd kind of like to know who turned me into a pony. Mostly, what I'd like to know is if you have any food allergies? I was thinking I'd get you a fruit basket or something, but I guess I could fill it with flowers and stuff.”
There’s a slight pause as the pegasus on the scroll thinks.
“I guess that’s food now too, right? Hm. Anyway, mysterious benefactor, if you are seeing this, thank you! This was a SUPER GREAT present!"

Third Person:Hayate takes her wing maintenance very seriously - she spent a decent chunk of time without any wings at all, and now that she's got them back she's a bit obsessive about keeping them in top shape. Currently, she has them fully extended and is craning her head to look over every inch of them. Apparently satisfied with the visual examination, she gives them a few experimental flaps, kicking up a slight breeze.

Something about that gives her pause, and with a thoughtful frown on her face, she raises both wings vertical and then brings them down so sharply that her hooves lift a bit off the ground. That done, she folds her right wing back to her side and very slowly gives her left wing a single flap before contorting her neck to go over it in more detail.

Slowly, and with excruciating care, she carefully preens a single feather back into place. Her tail swishes behind her happily as she once again extends both wings and flaps hard, just once, the downdraft actually ruffling her mane.

Nodding to herself in satisfaction, she folds her wings back up and continues waiting in line to buy her morning pastry from Sugarcube Corner, completely ignoring the various ponies staring at her.
