Background
Star Struck was born the second child of the Lady Shy Star of house Star, and her heir apparent, in favour over her older brother. Her mother wanted for her to study to become a wizard, and personally tutored her in magic. She was struck blind in a practice session with her mother when she looked directly into a flash of light, and was forced to learn summoning magic to be able to view through the connection between her and her summons. Although it overcame her handicap, Star Struck would switch her college education to study theology and become a Priestess of Luna. She currently studies for her doctorate, but to write her thesis, she wants to explore other continents and uncover something of true historical value. She has aplied to join the expedition as a medic and historian.
Skills
Star Struck has learned to summon magic constructs through necessity. This has also taught her the fundamentals of psychurgy. She also studied healing magic before her own blinding as a nurse at the Medical Academy. In her studies of religion she has widely researched the history and origins of Equestria and the post-Catastrophic diaspora.
Character
Star Struck is a devout follower of the Royal Pantheon, but her blindness has made her meek and shy. As healing and forgiveness are two qualities ascribed to Luna, she is protective and caring of fellow ponies. She keeps a hair pin with her at all times, given to her as a foal by her grandmother to offer her Luna's protection over children and dreams. She also owns an enchanted book to record all knowledge for her, a family tradition. This book, like all others, has an unfortunate quirk in that it is lewd and suggestive, in contrast to her mother, who made it for Star Struck.
Family
Star Struck's mother is a member of the Nickerby nobility, and has a good bond with her daughter. She is dutifull, which sometimes clashes with what's best for her or her family. She was to inherit the family lands and titles, and married for that reason. Long enough to have a filly to succeed her before letting the marriage run aground and divorcing. As such, Star Struck barely remembers her father, who was not there for his children.
Star Struck's older brother resents the fact that he is being skipped over, inheritance going to the oldest mare in their family. Her mother smothering Star Struck with love, providing her the best education, and painstakingly tutoring her often made him resentful, and he would act out. Although she felt bad for him, her brother's ire extanded to her as well, and they became more estranged once he left the family, and spited his mother with a fast and loose lifestyle.
