Age: 25
 
General bio:  
Shining Amor is a lot like his father in the sense that they are both kind and caring. They put others first and are just good guys in general. However, he kind of has a big ego. He is prideful of himself and his looks. Some ponies take that the wrong way when they first meet him. He is also a captain in the guard. He takes his job seriously but tries to keep things a little more lighthearted. Some ponies in the guard take advantage of that but when they do Amor gets strict and scary to get them back in line. He was originally a unicorn but ascended when he grasped the full meaning of love. In my head, when he was much younger, he was really only loved himself. But then he was enlightened somehow (I’ll leave that open for you guys to think about).
 
Relationships:  
Amor is incredibly close to his father being that they have similar interests and work together. He and Cadence are also close. Whenever she goes off to do princess business, he’s right by her side when Shining Armor can’t.  
Shining is good friends with Illusion. They usually don’t do more than hang out with each other but that’s all you really need to do to be good friends. Because he hangs out with Illusion a lot, he does know and gets along with Claire rather well. She’s the only one of the Mane 6/CMC foals he really knows aside from his cousins Starburst and Night Light.  
Amor is a role model for Starburst and he’s always running drills with her and teaching her about the guard. He finds it funny how serious she is and tries to get her to lighten up. He and Night Light aren’t as they are but they still love each other.
 
Talent/Cutiemark/Abilities:  
He is an amazing fighter and excels in attack and combat. He only fights in emergencies and would rather negotiate before trying to fight.
