Personalilty :: Usually in a state of being backed into a corner, Blaze may at times seem reclusive and anti-social, his actual personality is one of lightheartedness at the times when he finally feels that he is able to relax. He never takes other ponies' help and lives for granted due to some of his experiences back in his weather patrol days as well. He can also prove to be a loyal friend when it comes right down to it. Although he can be a little self-righteous at times, he has a big heart and longs to have friends and family who love and care about him. He likes to make puns and jokes, but sometimes gets carried away with them and can make them at bad times. Blaze also has a rambunctious prankster side which can sometimes get him into trouble, though he does his absolute best to make sure his pranks don't end up hurting anypony.

History :: He was born and raised in Vanhoover, a city in the northern parts of Equestria where it rained or was cloudy almost year-round due to the intense vegetation's needs that the local Pegasi had to tend to. his father, Wraith Bolt, a pegasus, and his mother, Willow Whisper, a unicorn were a caring and loving couple, while they put up with the quite rambunctious duo of Galactic Blaze and his little brother, Leafrun, a unicorn. The two often got a little overzealous in their play and pranking, often aggravating even the lax Vanhoover authorities. However, never was any action taken against them. Galactic Blaze was usually the mastermind behind many of their playtime activities, and the much younger Leafrun always looked up to him, often quite fascinated by him being a Pegasus Pony and being able to fly. With Leafrun being a little light for a unicorn colt, Blaze was able to carry him to places he'd never be able to reach on-foot. He was one time able to carry him to an island outside of Vanhoover where they were able to catch a rare glimpse of the stars. He was surprised to find that he already knew alot about them, despite never really learning all that much about them. Shortly after he and his brother returned home, Blaze discovered that he had attained his cutie mark. Blaze soon thereafter attended Junior Speedsters Flight Camp and Cloudsdale Flight Academy. He found himself horribly missing his brother, but he was soon able to find friends amongst his fellow Pegasi and even some Griffons. After completing his flight training, Blaze was accepted to the night shift of the Weather Patrol back in Vanhoover, he was overjoyed that he once again had the opportunity to visit with his family frequently once again. One night very shortly after he began his new job, a wild winter storm rolled in from the Crystal Mountains, threatening to freeze the city's port areas solid. Blaze and rest of the night shift, consisting of 8 ponies hurried out to buck it back into control. In the freezing maelstrom, Blaze lost sight of his team, but kept going, bucking wild clouds with extreme prejudice, never giving in. The frozen storm was under control before it hit the town, but 2 of the Weather Patrolponies had been killed by the storm. Blaze and the other 5 surviving night shift Weatherponies were awarded the Midnight Crescent by Princess Luna, the the other two were postponiusly awarded the Star of Harmony. Blaze never allowed himself to take the assitance of other ponies for granted ever again after that day. At the outbreak of the war, Blaze immediately went out to serve for the Equestrian military when he became of age at the latter years of the war. But even his honed flying skills in the Weather Patrol hadn't been enough to keep him safe. On his fourth month of full deployment, a Gryphon soldier got the drop on him and his squad. He was the only one who was injured by the time his squad had rallied, but by then, he was injured bad. He was inevitably sent home to his parents and brother. Upon returning, he found out that his father had gone out to serve as well, and had been killed. It only hurt him more when the Gryphons descended on Vanhoover, and now threatened the two unicorns that made up his immediate family. Blaze's mother demanded that he flee, that she and his younger brother would be alright where they, but wouldn't be in the cold area around Vanhoover, which Blaze was attuned to. Blaze reluctantly fled into the wilderness while the rest of his family was captured. He knew that the Gryphons would never have allowed him to live. Since then, he has lived off the land, seeking friends and shelter where he can.
