Backstory: Azure having both his parents in the Wonderbolts was amazing, and he not only inherited their wings, but their talent too. As a colt he was all for joining in what his parents do. With a similar passion to his mother's side for it, yet as he aged Azure felt like he wanted to do something more practical with his abilities. He noticed the mailponies having to traverse long distances, and decided that is what he will do. He only started, yet proved he has potential to be one of the best. He does take some pride in this. He had told his parents beforehoof, with mixed results. Even afterwards his mother was still in denial about the whole thing.

He did feel a little sadness, but nothing like his wife has been experiencing. Princess Flurry, his marefriend does her best to make Azure feel better. Knowing that both family and his career mean a lot to him.
