Biography[]
Swift Wind was an average horse living in the peaceful village of Thaymor deep within the Whispering Woods. Unfortunately, that life ended when Catra and the Horde attacked Thaymor in search of Adora. With no one left to care for him, Swift Wind was named "Horsey" and taken with Adora, Glimmer and Bow to Bright Moon.[4]
In Bright Moon, Adora was attempting to master the use of the Sword of Protection and accidentally transformed Swift Wind into an alicorn with the powers flight, enhanced speed, and speech. Swift Wind quickly panicked, revealing Adora as a former Horde soldier and causing both he and Adora to flee into the Whispering Woods. In the Whispering Woods, Swift Wind and Adora met Madame Razz.[5]
After giving Adora a ride to Bright Moon,[6] Swift Wind traveled Etheria learning to speak and freeing captive horses.[7] Swift Wind was later spotted eating all of the apples in Plumeria.[8]
Swift Wind eventually returned to Bright Moon joined the Rebellion.[9][10]

Notes[]
- Following his initial transformation, Swift Wind does not appear to have a de-powered form (similar to Spirit) but remains in his alicorn form permanently unlike his 1985 counterpart.
- Swift Wind explained that after realizing that although he was free, countless horses weren't. So he chose the name "Swift Wind" after the swift winds of revolution and traveled across Etheria to kick down stable doors spreading the ideals of freedom, equality, and hay for all.[13]
- Swift Wind has the tendencey to burst into song at inappropriate moments, just like Sea Hawk.[14]
