Description
Originally light dwellers who had a symbiotic relationship with plants. The females in particular developed a dependence on flowers that grow out of there tail. However, the males were less dependent on the plants Having only leaves on there long tails.
A huge cataclysm drove them underground where they had to learn to flourish with out light. The females became very very rare (due to there flower withering and them with it). As a preventive measure to loosing all the females the males took it upon themselves to find a way to feed the females flower light even under ground this is where they found the Glowsprites who the males captured in little cages and hung around there homes giving the females enough light to photosynthesize.
Soon however it became the fashion for the males to wear Glowsprites in cages they wrapped their whip like tail around this custom then evolved into a right of passage for young members of the species to find there own Glowsprite who, bond with the male and stay with them for life. Glowsprites in particular love the sweet nectar of the female Glowsprite ponies and often will flit between there bonded male owner and there Owners lover.
The males due to there large amount of contact with the Glowsprites have glowing markings that appear on there bodies as they age stopping once there in there middle stages of life.
Snowwalkers live in the Iced over caves in Lava tubes and cold climates. they are equipped with a thick coat of fur to keep them warm. Males have a shorter tail then the standered glowsprites and are fluffy while females to have a shorter tail making the flower look as if it is growing from there flanks. Females often wear warm downy furs around the base of there flowers to keep them warm.

Glowsprite pony Race information (expanded)Glowsprite Pony Racial information
Morphology:
Both Genders- both Genders have large ears with feathered hair on the outsides of the ears. They tend to be smaller then an average pony with a lighter build. Both genders have plants on them that grow out from the base of there tails. Glowsprites can come in all four types of ponies. infact Alicorns are just as common as the other races however they do not come with a power boost like the pony versions. Glowsprite Alicorns and are simply glowsprites who have both a horn and wings.
as for cutie marks and there importance little is put on foals to find out there cutie marks altho all glowsprites can get them few rarely do. So, children are not thought to find theirs. as such, those who do have cutie marks are often considered a minority but, are treated with the utmost respect by the elders.
On Rare occasions a Glowsprite pony will be born with a berry producing version of the symbotic plant. These berries are sweet and a loved delicacy. Th this if there not answered there feel free to ask me here
Glowsprite Q and A'sThought I would put this here if you have any questions about the speices please ask I will be keeping a list of questions and answers here as well
Q:You mentioned that the Glowsprite's aren't monogamous.. what about the ponies, do they stay with one forever, or change their partner? Or do they even could have more than one partner at the same time?
And when do they choose their partner? How do the females live until they have found their male counterpart?
Oh, and what about homosexuality, since they need the other gender? Does that happen? If so, how?
A:1. yes most glowsprite ponies are monogamous and in fact there bonds with there mates are usually very very strong.
2. Yes they can have more then one partner in face females can have up to 3 male spouses but males will only ever have one female mate. tho it is much more common for it to be one male to one female. The other configuration was a hold over from when there were very few females left.
3.It depends just like with human court
