Whitslewing (character)

Whistlewing is a female Pegasus born in Cloudsdale before the Dimensional War. Whistlewing had joined the Voluntary Armed Forces early in it's inception and quickly worked her way through the ranks due to her special talent of leadership skills.

Whistlewing survived the Dimensional War and due to her valour in the Battle of Alpha Rift she was promoted to Field General of the Midnight Armed Forces. As the years went on Whistlewing experienced guerilla tactics in the Militant War and saw heavy fighting in the Mineral War. However; she survived up to the Equestrian Civil War.

During the Equestrian Civil War, Whistlewing was ordered to oversee Operation: Chalice. During the operation into a Crystal Empire mine, Whistlewing accompanied the forces going in personally as Field Generals always would. After extracting the captured VIPs (Regency and Monarchy) the evacuation Dropship was forced to evacuate due to sustaining damage, leaving the rescue forces including Whistlewing behind. The team had to await the Dropship's return, though when it did arrive it sustained more damage and span out of control; crashing into the ground in a fireball. The explosion made the Midnight team vulnerable and they were overwhelmed.

A Crystal Empire soldier approached Whistlewing with her Crystal Sword drawn, preparing to execute her as she laid on the ground bloodied. Whistlewing was saved by a critically damaged MAD that leapt at the foe and crushed her head with a mighty shattering sound. The drone was peppered by enemy fire as it looked at Whistlewing, crawling towards her in an attempt to shield her with its own body. It collapsed due to the insane amounts of damage it was sustaining.

Whistlewing noticed the drone had not ignited the Thermium in it's body, thus was still functional, and the other Midnight units were all KIA. Whistlewing whispered the self-destruct command (Protocol 19: Never Alive) to the damaged-yet-functional drone, causing it to obey and prime it's core to overload. The resulting explosion caused the entire mine to cave in, killing everyone who wasn't consumed by the initial explosion that had also claimed Whistlewing (having been point-blank of the blast).

Whistlewing was the second Field General to die before the Last Lights.
