Description

A semi-random idea I got. Reading "the old gang" comment of "The Order of the Phoenix" and Celestia being confirmed as a former bearer of the elements of Harmony, I though "Wouldn't it be cool if Celestia had her own gang of pony-friends?" So I answered myself "Yes. Yes it would."
Since There is already Celestia and Luna, and I had Silvanus and Pontus, it was a matter of creating other two pony-gods.
The problem? I had already used up the races I knew of ponies(Earth for Silvanus and Hippocampus for Pontus. Celestia and Luna already covered Pegasus and Unicorns.)
I searched a little, and decided to make a Flutter god(Soon to be made) and a... well, for all matters and purposes, she's a Thestral.
Her name is Catrina ( [link] ) and she's the goddess of the Other Side, the place were the souls of the Ponies rest, effectively making her the goddess of Death.
Her main job consist of being there for the ponies that die, in order for them to get to the "Other side" safely, as well as giving them permission to visit relatives.
She's not 100% efficient, and sometimes, some ponies souls get lost and become ghosts, but in those cases, she search for them endlessly. She also turns a blind eye when a ghost is safe and happy in the corporeal world.
Despite her appearance and reputation, she's really fun to be around, and, ironically, is the life of the parties. Her cutie mark is a sugar skull, symbolizing her sweet personality, and her association with the death... why is a human skull is anyone's guess.
Her subjects are technically every pony that dies, as they have to move to her reign. She, however, has made a spell that can transform any pony in a semi-thestral, but it has to be a voluntary change. There's also a simpler spell that allows alive ponies to walk in the Other Side.

Reed Flute will become very ill and she will arrive to collect his soul, with the ponies misunderstanding her intentions as her wanting to kill him. Hilarity ensues as they try to fight her, and, ultimately, is Princess Celestia who explains who she is, much to the embarrassment of Twilight Sparkle and the others.
Reed Flute passes away peacefully, not without telling Reed Whistle how very proud he is of him, and feeling very loved by the fact that his little ponies were willing to defy a goddess for him.
Catrina reassures Reed Whistle that his grandpa will be able to come once a year, on the 1s of November.
She also teaches Twilight Sparkle her spells so that they can visit her sometimes too.

This seems like some sort of mix between Hades (Greek god of the underworld) and Pinkie Pie.
