Unique Traits:  Zecora has a special talent for potion work,  be it a brew, a Syrum, a herb, or a lozenge fixing up what ails you is something she is skilled in doing though her knowledge doesn't stop at healing  brews,  her own unique Unyasi magic seems to be just as varied and complex as unicorn magic, which is just as complex and mysterious as the Zebra herself, these seem to be simple as making a spilled cup be filled, or  the ability to stand on water if one focuses, but the full extent of these abilities seem to be known to only Zecora herself.

 

History:  Zecora was born in a small tribe that was frequently found on the northern shores of her homeland, so even at a young age she was learning Pony Tongue. Her tribes dialect was very dear to her, though, so she tried to combine the two. What resulted was a constant rhyming to everything she spoke.


She was born to a couple that were the primary healers of her small tribe. Both of her parents were very strong in the ways of Uchawi. Zecora longed to learn it herself, and she studied diligently, but she was never satisfied with the teachings, always wanting more and more. It was this love of learning, and the patience she showed in learning her family skill, that earned her the mark upon her flank, for she had truly accepted that her path in life was one of healing, but also one of constant learning.

The Symbol is actually that of the sun, with the triangles being the healing radiating rays from it. In Zecora's culture the sun was both a symbol of power, and of healing. It was an obvious sign that symbolized her own strong Uchawis, as well as her healing and nurturing nature that was a very strong part of who she was.

Zecora had never been a very hyperactive Zebra. She kept to herself and studied diligently but she was always kind and warm to all of her village, who were like family to her! She had a fondness for the younger foals, with their bright, curious eyes and innocent nature… she was drawn to them like magnets! Zecora also tended to wander off by herself and get lost, though, and was at times stubborn and hard headed in her views.

The jewelry she wears is very special to her. Her earrings were a gift to her from the village’s Wazee, due to her amazing memory of folklore that she shared with young foals with open, eager minds. She gained the rings she wears around her neck during her studies of Uchawi, earning one for each year of dedicated study. The final pieces of jewelry she wears were loving, parting gifts from her tribe. Two from each of her parents, and the last two from the Wazee; it was a sign of blessing and good fortune on her quest for knowledge of distant lands.

Zecora left her tribe with a promise to one day return with knowledge and stories to share. It ached deeply to leave them all behind, but her hooves itched to travel, and her mind hungered for knowledge that she wouldn’t find in her homelands.

Her travels led her to the town of Ponyville, though she was not the least bit interested in staying in a town where, when she first passed through, she was hidden from and feared. Instead, she ventured to another thing that the pony-folk feared; the EverFree Forest! It was just as wild and mysterious to the ponies as Zecora was herself, and she felt right at home among the creatures and plants that populated it. She soon had herself a hut made in the traditional style of her people, with artifacts of her homeland decorating it.

The climate of Ponyville was a very strange thing to Zecora, for one the Pegasi seemed to control it, which was unheard of where she was from, and it rained often and apparently on a schedule. This was another reason for Zecora to stay in the EverFree Forest, where the weather happened naturally and sporadically, just like back home.
Many events have happened to Zecora since her entrance into the world of the ponies, over the years she has been both feared, and then beloved by the ponies, which opened many doors for her! Instead of being afraid of her and her strange magic, Ponies now ask for Zecora’s aid when they are sick, or when their animals need a little boost. (Though she will no longer be leaving Hearts Desire out for little ponies to get into.)

One of the biggest highlights of Zecora’s life was the meeting of a filly named AppleBloom! The young filly was the first to approach her. Her friends had gotten into a nasty bit of Poison Joke and AppleBloom helped her make a healing herbal bath that would relieve them of the nasty, but hilarious, symptoms. She had to help her twice due to her friends not being that trusting of the Zebra and mistakenly thinking she was making AppleBloom Soup! That mess was not pleasant to clean up.

She tries to be integrated into Ponyville’s celebrations, and had even been made the “Teller of Tales” during Nightmare Night! Telling the fable of Nightmare Moon and how she stalked young children that hid behind colorful masks, and was satiated by offerings of candy. The story was told using Uchawi, which was used quite frequently in her home to tell stories, with the strange green powder that brought forth images the caster could manipulate. It was more of a trick, though, so Zecora doesn't use it often, save for special story telling occasions

Overall, Zecora now feels almost at home in this strange land. The plants and wildlife that she surrounds herself with are more than enough to keep her mind happy, and, for the moment, the travelers itch in her hooves has been satisfied.


Character Summary: Zecora herself is a bit of an enigma to the other ponies, even though they have grown to accept her as one of their own. She’s quiet, and when she speaks, it’s usually because she has some words of wisdom that need to be said. She keeps to herself, mostly staying in her hut, venturing to Ponyville on the occasional run for herbs and plants that the shopkeepers sell, or to visit her dear friends ! One day she shall go home and tell her village about Ponyville and the adventures she has had there! However, that day is not today. Zecora has gotten very close to the citizens of Equestria, the town is like her village in a way, everyone plays a part, and while she does not live in the town itself, she would consider it her home.

That doesn't mean Zecora is a flawless being, she tends to be stubborn, and set in her ways, refusing to change her mind unless fully proven wrong by a situation, but does not tend to work too hard to change ponies minds, which can come off a tad passive aggressive if she is upset, but she  has the patience of a teacher, and the knowledge of an elder, and is a good being to have in your friend circle.

Well well well

What do we have here? A strange new pony did appear.

Filthy Rich for Zecora I do agree, but I must make a plea.

A great app for her you have, but a few more pictures or more detail would make me squee. (Yup, ran out of rhymes...)

A hoof of congratulations I offer, a piece of coin I coffer.

Wow that sounds not how I wanted at all...I'll leave the rhyming to you for now.

Congratz on Zecora! I can't wait to see you and AB together!

Hi QuickLime! I'd be happy to work with you on this app :) You did a great job fleshing out this character with her history and summary.  I have a few requests at this time before I put this up for a second review.

 

- Can you make a separate section of history and then a section for the character summary? The summary should just be a brief overview of this character. Something that could be read quickly to give a general idea about Zecora if someone was jumping into in RP with you playing her. You have lots of great info in the summary section that just needs to be shifted around in the app. These are the last four sections we currently want to see in apps for WoE.

 

Unique Traits:

History:

Character Personality:
Character Summary:

 

-In the title for this thread Zecora is listed as T1, she is listed in our T2 section.
