Sanna Matalutke

The daughter of Holli and Rorek Matalutke, Sanna is a rough and tumble, strong-willed and passionate young woman. She grew up in the Shandy Mountains on the Matalutke Homestead, where she learned resourcefulness, daring, passion, and persistence from her loving parents. Hardly ever slowing down, this whirlwind of a girl was drawn to pegasi and flying by her father's stories of daring-do and her mother's skill with handling and raising the beasts. Learning that Holli had spent time as a pilot when she was younger only motivated Sanna all the more to learn how to fly. When Sanna was 10 years old, a foal was born into Holli's herd that took a shine to the little girl. The feeling was mutual, and the two of them bonded quickly over the long summer days. Seeing this, Holli used the foal to teach her daughter how to raise, train, and eventually fly pegasi. Sanna and the spunky colt, named "Redwing," grew up together and became inseparable.

Over the next few years, Sanna learned the basics of flying a pegasus from Rorek, and how to manage a broadwing herd from Holli. In addition, she also gained a fair amount of experience in assisting travelers in distress. Holli would go help travelers who got lost, or succumbed to the harsh and unpredictable mountain weather, and would often bring Sanna with her. Sanna learned to read mountain weather, and survive in the unforgiving peaks.

On her 17th birthday, Sanna took her Trial Flight and earned her blue pilot's scarf, embroidered with her family's Mark. Paired with Redwing, who was just coming into his prime, Sanna was poised to enter the world as a fully-fledged pilot. Shortly after getting her scarf, she left the homestead to strike out on her own, making a name for herself just like her parents had before her.
