Your life is one of adventure. While earth ponies and unicorns tend to be more settled, you are more dynamic. Life is about change, and you embrace that philosophy. Your wings are as much a part of your identity as a unicorn’s horn, and you take pride in your ability to take flight.
Pegasi are the fastest of the pony races, as well as the shortest-lived. While earth ponies and unicorns might live healthily beyond their 80’s, it is very uncommon for pegasi to reach 70. Pegasi are also frail by nature – the body of a Pegasus can take quite a bit of force from straight ahead but is easily damaged by forces in any other direction. A surprisingly common disorder in the Pegasus population is sterility. It is very uncommon for a Pegasus to have twins, and there have been no recorded Pegasus triplets in the history of Equestria.
While the abilities of earth ponies and the magic of unicorns can both be used from birth, pegasi are often unable to fly until about the time they gain their cutie marks. The wing size of a Pegasus does not always correlate to the size of the Pegasus; though a Pegasus might be from a family line of large ponies, the genes that determine the size of wings can result in a large pony with small wings.
Pegasi are also the only ponies that are capable of standing on clouds without the aid of spells; however, total isolation is not possible due to the need for Earth Ponies to grow crops.
