Main History
Witches are a breed existing since many decenies but have begun to be enumerated only recently when ponies and zebras are seen to mix a little more in countries and that the number of witches create an anguish. These strange ponies were feared. In a world where magic can be a great threat, this new species capable of manipulating it has not been well received by local ponies. Parents, treated as demons or beings bargaining with the devil, were either to hunted or to persecuted. Giving birth to a witch often results in infatuation or child murder by local ponies. Over time, the parents fled with their child, preparing for any eventuality. Over time, a rumor circulated; a loving island of a freshly free ponies collected lost souls. So, more and more parents were crossing the country to swim at Gate Island, the place where they would be free to raise and love their child. With now the ability to grow and work their power, witches could be understood and accepted once their talents have been revealed practical. Thus, the world was able to accept them and, with the years and the loss of this hatred with the arrival of modern mentality, they can prospect in all Equestria. An enormous gratitude and loyalty flows through the veins of the witches and think of the Dracossucus, the race that saves them, being part of their family.

How are they different from other Equestrian creatures ?
Witches have magical abilities. Except for Griffins, all witches can do magic. It's basic unicorn magic most of the time. (teleportation, object levitation, etc...)
Witches talent are magic-related. Witches have special talent just like average ponies. But their talent must be activated by their magical abilities. They are born with their talent but cannot use it until they practice it. Chimeras do not have their own talent but they all have the ability to copy something else's magic. Griffins cannot do common magic but can for their talent.
Witches have marks on their coat. Their marks are 1 colored abstract designs placed on their flanks, front of each 4 legs and, sometimes, under their eyes.
Sub-species have different abilities. Each sub-species have their own speciality. Their talent do not have to be related to their species speciality.
They have vertical pupils.
They are sterile. Since they are hybrid, they cannot procreate.
Fun fact : If the stripes and markings are the same colors, it means they are part of an ancient witches bloodline. It doesn't affect the pony, just cool to know !

Different forms available !
My Little Pony - New & Late Generation
This is the original form of witches. They are born this way and, normally, live in this form. Before the new generation, a late generation of witches existed. Some still exist but are now rare because no longer available in commissions.
Furry & Human form
Furries and human form are special versions. If, basically, witches are born in equestria in the world of my little pony, you should know that in their universe there is a special place ; "Hell". Despite it not being related to biblical hell it's still the name it is given as it's for the bravest of creatures within Equestria to come together to participate in the black market. In this place, doors to parallel universes are available.
From universes to the world of humans, the world of furry, an anime world or even your own alternate universe; anything is possible to justify a witch in another universe. However, they will still have only 3 forms, the one presented here. The human form gives them two horse ears where the human ears are normally placed, a flat nose, a tail and horse legs. Furries are the same as human but with the pony head.
