Quiet, reserved and sweet, Blue Shade is a medium-height pegasus stallion, with a dark blue coat and an almost violet mane with a blue stripe running through it. His eyes are polychromatic, a blend of green and blue. His hooves are a mustard yellow color, as well as his cutie mark, which is the Japanese earth kanji. His cutie mark unfortunately means that he can’t fly, something that saddens him a lot. His boyfriend, an alicorn named Arturite Warrior, helps him to keep his head up and smiling.
