.:Personality:. Pegasus is described by Zeus as a "magnificent horse with the brain of a bird" and upon first glance, this may be easily assumed. Pegasus can be a bit quirky, often showing himself to be restless and unable to stand still. He has a habit of whistling which some may find annoying at times, despite his skill in it. He becomes easily distracted, not always being able to keep the flow of conversation onto a single topic. He is the kind of horse/person who can get distracted by shiny things. He is generally friendly and has a good sense of humor. Despite all this, he shows himself to be quite strong -- able to free himself from chains that bound him -- and he demonstrates incredible stamina, speed, insight and reflexes, able to react quickly to any given situation -- expected or not. He is fiercely loyal and highly protective of Hercules, which often results in his distaste towards those like Meg who he does not trust nor appreciate Hercules attentions upon. .:Strengths:. As a horse his ability to fly, incredible speed and stamina, heightened reflexes
.:Weaknesses:. Inability to remain still for very long, presumed to be unintelligent, easily distracted

.:Birthplace:. Mount Olympus
.:Family:. None, he is the only of his kind
.:Occupation:. Hercules' sidekick and wingman [get it, wingman?!] in Storybrooke, he works at the stables
.:History:. Pegasus was created from the clouds by Zeus as a gift to his sole son, Hercules. He was meant to protect the boy and serve as a guardian over him. Unfortunately, when Hercules was taken from Olympus by Hades' henchmen, Pegasus was unable to protect him. He lived the next several years with the utmost guilt, inconsolable for failing in his duty to protect the son of Zeus. To his excitement, when Hercules made contact with his father, Pegasus was sent down to be with him. He saw this as another chance to fulfill his duty as a guardian for Hercules and would not make the same mistake twice. From this day forth, he and Hercules practically became best friends. He was extremely loyal and protective of him, supporting him in most all decisions -- mainly ones that did not involve Megara.

When the curse struck, Pegasus and Hercules were not meant to be in the Enchanted Forest. They had been trying to help a village that they heard was being ransacked by bandits, when, unbeknown to them, they were struck by a curse. Twenty eight years later, their true identities were revealed. Pegasus has no idea what became of Hercules, whether he too fell under the curse or if Zeus managed to protect him. Pegasus greatly misses his other form, often feeling restless constantly being on the ground. He is determined to find Hercules or at least his whereabouts, and ensure that his best friend is safe and sound.

Sky was currently staring at the ground, attempting not to step on a crack. He had far too much time on his hands and not enough outlets for his energy. He felt as if he was going to go insane! Being on the ground all this time was making him restless and anxious. The fact that he couldn't find his closest friend was also quite unsettling. Was he safe? Was he even alive? No! Sky could not think like that. Of course he was alive . . . he had to be. Surely Zeus would ensure that. Yet, at the same time, they had been in an entirely different realm; one that perhaps even the Gods would not have jurisdiction over since Sky was fairly certain that if they knew a curse was coming, they would have kept Hercules safe from it. And well, of course Pegasus too since they were a packaged deal. The crowd up ahead immediately got his attention. There was a massive gathering where people were handing out missing posters and inquiring about their own loved ones status. Perhaps someone had seen Hercules, or better yet . . . maybe he was here! Pegasus knew that he would immediately recognize his friend and despite the fact that his former horse friend was now a human, he was fairly certain Hercules would recognize him from the hair. It was quite a distinguishable characteristic that had carried over from his previous form into his human one. He joined the rest of the crowd, his eyes scanning the group and getting increasingly disappointed when he couldn't find his friend. When he managed to get to the front of the line, he saw a woman with long dark hair looking at him with a friendly smile, yet it was clear that she was stressed from the large group. "Have you seen Hercules?" He asked. "No, of course you haven't because you may not know what he looks like," Sky added, correcting himself at his foolish assumption. "He's about my height, orange brown hair thats past his ears, usually wears a band around his head . . . ?" It was evident that the woman had not seen him for surely she would have recognized Sky's description by now. She offered him a piece of paper and a pen to either write the name down or draw a picture. Sky was about to ask something else when he was pushed to the side by the growing crowd. He sauntered off to the side, staring at the blank piece of paper. He was not exactly an artist. "Well, here goes nothing . . . " And with that, he attempted to draw as accurate of a picture of Hercules as his artistic skills would allow him to do.
