“Oh! So you need some pony to see how apocalyptic it is up there? Okie dokie! Kite Runner at your service!”
 
Kite Runner (as a human) A perky girl who bounces all over the place. Super fast and unfortunately prone to lightning strikes. Thankfully she’s (mostly) lightning proof.
 
There’s this headcanon (sort of) that a microscopic percentage of pegasi are lightning proof, meaning it doesn’t repel them, and that they can magically absorb it. It’s a very prized trait, but lightning is still dangerous as hell and over exposure will still mess them up.
 
There is manufactured lightning and natural lightning. Pony made lightning is like the rest of their manufactured weather. It’s toned down version of the real thing.
 
It’s still not a good feeling to get hit by the fake stuff. But the real stuff will kill most pegasi. Which unfortunately happens to some pegasi who traveled outside of Equestria and forget this.
