Background: Born blind, Kirsi grew up separated from her peers, unable to participate in games, until one day she was able to play in the nearby lake. The moment her hoof touched the water, she could see, not just herself and her local surroundings, but if she chose to, she could see miles away, sights and sounds from other places, whether rain in Cloudsdale, or dolphins jumping in the ocean, to the icy plains of the frozen north. She sat there for hours, never moving, just looking out and admiring all these new things, things she could see.

While she was extremely quiet and passive, other ponies eventually caught on that she could "see" and realized she could be a great asset. Kirsi eventually found herself on a boat, looking for other boats, in exchange for helping find other boats, and the occasional drowning sailor, Kirsi, is given food drink and shelter. It might be bad luck to bring a mare on board, but with a little coxing, this mare knows more about the sea than any pony alive, just don't expect her to talk your ear off, or even say anything at all.
