Backstory and Information below
(I typed this up on my iPad on an app without spellcheck, if there are and grammar/spelling issues please let me know and I'll fix it up )

Elias is a young Pegasus pony coming from the remote white tail woods, he has always been small in stature taking after his mothers unicorn build but he does have large wings that when spread out make him look much larger than he really is. Elias is very soft spoken and prefers solitude than big crowds, he isn't as shy as he first seems getting overly excited at things other ponies wouldn't, after all it's rather odd to see a Pegasus getting overly excited and babbling on asking lots of questions about Pegasi and unicorn magic but since he hasn't spoken with many other 'ponies' he wants to learn about what his parents were like and what they could do with their own version of magic. Studying this helps him feel closer to them.

He resided In the woods alongside his parents, being one of the few families to live here that were not of the Cervidae family contrasting to the equine based towns surrounding the woods. With the woods teeming with families of white tall deer, mule deer, elk, moose, red deer, reindeer, fallow deer and roe deer, his parents had worked hard to respect the cervidae customs and to forge friendships with their distant neighbours, due to the remote location of their home in the woods, and the fact that some families lived a nomadic lifestyle. When elias' mother fell sick there wasn't anything Elias or his father could do to help. Elias father soon then fell ill himself, being exposed to the illness while caring for his wife. Elias parents then passed away in the coming months leaving Elias to be raised by his mother and father's best friends, the mixed deer couple Zero (Zeh-ro) a large yet friendly Melanistic White-tailed buck and Willow, a small spirited fallow deer. Willow and Zero raised Elias as their son while never forcing him to think of them as his new parents or to forget his biological ones. While they had a difficult time trying to teach him to fly as neither had wings he soon succeeded --by climbing and jumping off tree stumps and zeros antlers -- and was using his ability of flight to help harvest and care for the land and farms his family and the community have grown throughout the woods. While he isnt a very fast flier he was able to manover in and out of the trees with ease soon taking this ability to the fruit trees and bushes causing the harvests to become easier and more plentiful, earning his cutiemark in this unique way.

Elias now a fully grown stallion, travels down to ponyville selling his families harvest and looking up information about his parents and their history. Learning how the earth ponies farm he designed a built a harness for himself so he can pull the plow without the weight pulling at his neck and shoulders, when using the plow at home -- as it was not made with Pegasi in mind -- it would pull painfully at his wings causing bruising and rope burns leaving Elias unable to fly without pain for the next few days. With Zero and Willow falling pregnant Elias took to looking for work in ponyville using his talent to bring in the extra income, when the fawns were born Elias went to ponyville looking for a permanent source of income, finding the apple farm in need of an extra pair of hooves or In his case wings -- due to applejack needing to travel across equestria to help solve problems with friendship, applebloom helping ponies discover their true talents, and Granny Smith being to old to help with the chores, Big Mac has to run the farm on his own, with his previous and current farming experience and his newly fitted harness Elias works at sweet Apple acres alongside the other hired hooves, Theren.
