Nickname(s): Stormy (please, he insists), Aero, Fluffy (by Rainbow Dash), Rainbow Crash Jr. (by Dumb-bell), Blue (by Bruce), Airhead, Fluff-Butt, Sheepdog, the list goes on...

Personality/Background:

When Stormy was born, Rainbow Dash asked Twilight for help coming up with a name awesome enough to befit her tiny, fluffy foal, who would someday, naturally become the biggest, baddest flier to ever hit the Equestrian sky. ....Right?

 ...Eh.

Stormy is indeed quite big, and bad. He is an incredibly fast and powerful flier, and his wingspan and inborn pegasus magic allow him to manipulate wind itself. He is everything Rainbow ever dreamed. He could make the Wonderbolts in his sleep.

Too bad he doesn't want to.

Stormy is possibly the most laid-back and mellow pegasus to ever grace Equestria. Easygoing and kind, Aerostorm completely lacks the competitive streak that is so prominent in both his parents. For him, winning doesn't matter, it's all about whether you have fun. Stormy once lost a major flight camp race because he stopped and laid down to watch a cloud shaped like a butterfly. But to be fair, it did look really pretty.

Stormy ain't the brightest bulb, but makes up for it with kindness, creativity, and nearly endless patience. He is deeply loyal, caring toward his loved ones, difficult to anger, and quick to forgive. Despite his lazy, upbeat nature, however, he is quite insecure about living up to Rainbow Dash's ideal for him. 

Stormy has recently been becoming more prominent on the racing scene due to his rivalry with Zipperflash. Previously, he only raced occasionally, preferring to earn money through routine weather work, which required little effort and gave lots of free time. However, with encouragement from his friends, Stormy is stepping up to be a racer full-time, and is gearing up to show the world what the son of Rainbow Dash can really do.

Stormy's hobbies include making shell necklaces, playing the ukulele and singing, surfing, cloud-watching, napping, eating (a lot), looking after his little sisters, hanging out with friends, and occasionally, flying inside tornadoes for fun.
   

Relationships:

   Stormy is a total cuddly mama's colt, but his relaxed attitude about life and flying often put him at odds with his hotblooded mother. He'll usually insist they hug it out in the end. He is uncertain that he can live up to the ideal she has made for him, and deep down, he wants nothing more than to make her proud. His father Dumbbell is more tolerant of Stormy's hippie-dippy, flower child ways but kinda wishes his kid would get a dang manecut already, goddang hippie

    Stormy is a good decade older than his kid sisters Misty and Ember, and thus is often tasked with making sure the twins don't cause too much property damage in their daily antics and quarrels. He is perhaps too patient and tolerant of them, and they know their sweet big bro can be manipulated into letting them do almost anything. The twins do look up to and adore Stormy, even if they refuse to admit it.

Stormy's very best friend in the world is Rosemary. The pair share everything from mane care tips to dating advice, and Stormy values her opinions and advice very much. Insulting Rosie is one of the few surefire ways to actually piss Stormy off. Not even Bruce is safe from this, as he once made Rosemary cry with a callous comment, and quite suddenly found himself cowing under one very angry blue pegasus.

Stormy's other best friend is Bruce. They're total bros and tease and annoy each other in their own special way. They are also painfully attracted to each other, but Bruce is in heavy denial about it, while Stormy isn't sure Bruce would go for a relationship with some dumb hippie.

Stormy has a rival in Zipperflash, the cocky young hotshot so talented at both flying and trash-talk that he has managed to tap into Stormy's long-hidden competitive streak. After suffering under Zip's bold taunts and harassment, Stormy has decided that not only will he beat Zips in a race, he'll also make him cry. He has no idea Zipperflash quite secretly looks up to him.

Stormy has a healthier rivalry with Pandora, who sometimes challenges him to quick, mostly-friendly races around Ponyville. The two have been good friends since foalhood.

Special:
-Stormy's eyes are almost always hidden under his bangs, but he has complete heterochromia, that is, two different colored irises. His left eye is blue, while the right eye has Rainbow Dash's eye color. (Shown here: Fluffy )

-Stormy owns a female pet sloth named Potato,( shown here:  Number 1 Perfect-est Pet by Lopoddity) whom he coos over like a baby. Potota's interests include grooming Stormy's mane, chewing a leaf for hours at a time, and falling asleep doing things (she's narcoleptic).

-Sometimes, pegasi are born with an affinity for a certain nature element. As Stormy's sisters Misty and Ember can use their wings to manipulate water and fire, respectively, Stormy can use his wings to manipulate wind. He can create small tornadoes, navigate through gale-force winds with ease, and exert some level of control over storms.

-Stormy is deathly afraid of spiders, faints at the sight of blood, and is a total chicken when it comes to horror movies and stories, often hiding behind the much smaller Bruce.

-He has an odd gene mutation that causes him to grow an extra-super fluffy, thick coat in the winter time. He's pretty much more happy puffball than pony during those times Fluffbomb by Lopoddity
