Mane/Tail/Other: His mane is a bright hot pink, usually pretty kept and bouncy, he has short curls that frame his neck and cheeks. He always wears a black spiked collar, and has an eyepatch over his right eye, as it is incredibly light sensitive.

Residence: He tends to travel all over, anywhere there is fun, he can usually be found.
Occupation: Bedlam likes to call himself a professional trouble maker, his mischief is mostly harmless, but accidents happen.
Cutie Mark: N/A
Unique Traits: Being as young as he is, his magic tends to be a bit more unpredictable than a member of his species who has honed their magic for an eternity. He has magical surges much like a younger unicorn, but the bursts tend to be a bit more dangerous, he can feel when one is coming on though, so he will usually escape the company of others when he feels a fit coming on.
History: Bedlam isn't completely sure where he originally came from, he never knew his real family, and if you asked him if he wanted to he would say no. He was blessed to have been found by a kindly pair of earth ponies who took him in to raise as their own. He was never want for affection, and got along well with his other adopted siblings. But eventually as he grew, he began to become a hazard to his beloved family, after a near-fatal mishap during a magical fit, the young Draconequus decided it was time for him to leave. It was a painful goodbye, and for a while the young creature sunk into a very saddened state, he was alone, longing for company but afraid to engage others for fear of hurting them.

Eventually he pulled himself out of the slump, reasoning that he could either mope for the rest of his life, or get up and move on. He decided to become a nomad, always moving and never in the same place for long, figuring that if he doesn't stay, then he wont have time to hurt anyone. He has mostly embraced his role as a causer of mischief and trouble, and though he is still learning, sometimes the hard way, he is slowly making strides in the control of his magic. He still longs for a permanent home, or even just a friend who doesn't look st him like he is a monster.
Character Personality: On the outside, Bedlam is a very chipper and upbeat young Draconequus, he never seems to let the world get to heavy, and he is always the first one to crack a stupid joke, even at his own expense, to lighten the mood. He tends to not take things seriously that he should, and this can put off some ponies who mistake his behavior as cruel or ill-meaning. He never means it this way, it's just the only way he knows to cope with grief or sadness. If you ask him outright, he will tell you that absolutely nothing is wrong, that he is perfectly fine, and he will usually give you a grin, one that never reaches his eyes.

Inside, behind the smile, he has a lot of inner turmoil, built up from a long time of isolation and fear. He worries that he will hurt someone, dwells on the ponies he has accidentally caused harm to, and stresses about his role in the world. He was raised by ponies, but his kind are known avatars of chaos and mayhem, he is unsure of who he is supposed to be or where he is meant to go with his life, and this can cause a lot of inner turmoil to the young creature. He can be a bit of a brat sometimes when things don't go quite his way, but really he only wants attention so he doesn't feel so lonely. He gets along well enough with every pony he meets, but tends to push them away eventually in fear of hurting them. He can come off as cold or malicious without meaning to, but in reality it is his his way of crying out for help, longing for someone to come along who will be persistent enough to not run when he says to.
Character Summary: Bedlam is, on the outside, a very cheerful and positive kind of guy, and it is true that he is mostly happy. But if you peel back the layers, he has a lot of inner issues that he can't seem to handle on his own. He wants nothing more than to find someone who will love him for what he is, and give him the purpose he can't seem to find.
