Sailaway is a traveller from a far-off land who sailed to Equestria as an envoy for her island nation. She claims the rest of her people will come soon, as they are fleeing an oncoming volcanic eruption. She arrived at the shores of the unicorn village of Sea Sparkle and was welcomed by the Mayor as an honored guest, though some of the residents are wary of her and her ways, as well as her odd appearance. Her markings are actually tattoos, signifying her as a revered spellcaster and navigator. Tattoos are fairly unheard of in Equestria, so the reaction is mixed.

She was told by her people to sail ahead and alert the Equestrian ponies of their arrival. However… it’s been months, and her people have not arrived yet. She will not give up hope yet, however. She knows her people will join her soon, and she'll be reunited with her friends and family.
