Pyrelight is a Balefire phoenix, and is the faithful pet and companion of Velvet Remedy: it quickly developed a bond with Velvet after she saved her from a Bloodwing attack by incinerating her (phoenixes are immune to fire). Pyrelight has been shadowing Littlepip's party for quite some time, and joined them in chapter twenty.
Through their adventures, Pyrelight has proven herself to be an irreplaceable member of the group. Thought unable to speak, she is nonetheless no less sentient than a pony. Being a phoenix, she is able to fly to areas inaccessible by the others, and was able to fly into inner Fillydelphia to accompany Littlepip.
Pyrelight is a carnivore, and does not hesitate to hunt down small animals to consume. She would even eat the very dangerous Fillydelphia parasprites. Being a creature of radiation, she can be healed by being near sources of radiation.

Interestingly, Pyrelight was initially also jealous for Velvet's attention, but eventually matures past that.

Skills[]
Although unable to use weapons, Pyrelight is nonetheless as an extremely capable combatant, scout and support.
