This one actually took forever. Gradients are a pain. Still, flowing long manes, yo.
 
• Smoky Shadows took on the form she has now after escaping the grasp of shadow magic brought on by her own negative emotions.  
• Since a fragment of this magic is still left in her, as evident by her mane becoming wispy, she can call on it to dissolve herself into smoke to travel easier.  
• She can also recreate her corrupted form, though she now has control over it.  
• Learning to control her emotions is how she got her cutie mark.  
• Smoky Shadows is very shy, reserved and gentle.  
• When she gets scared or embarrassed, Smoky will retreat behind her mane or curl herself up in it to hide.
