I read this, and then I read "Cupcakes". I read both all the way through. I actually prefer "A Class in Stress Relief".

I get Sweetie Belle (ISFJ). I was expecting Fluttershy, but I guess I'm more on the judgey side.

Thanks. Saint Cynicism recommended that I give Patina a blacksmith hammer and tongs for a cutie mark.

This is Patina. She's a metalworking pony. I haven't decided on a cutie mark yet. Maybe an anvil?

StrawberryBlossom wins the internets. If only we had karma meters or like buttons here.

I'd join in, but if I need much knowledge about the Twilight Zone, I may more of a hindrance.

More creepy! [attachment=0]Arachnopony resize.jpg[/attachment]

"Got it." Stagelight shuffled off her saddlebags and, with them, a few feathers. She had begun to molt, as she tends to do under stress. "Oh dear. This isn't going to be a problem, is it? Don't want any feathers getting into her wounds." She laughed nervously and tried to hold her wings away from the injured fillly. Stagey brushed her hair out of her face, needing her right eye as unobstructed as possible. The mare no longer cared if those present saw her disfigurement. She knelt in front of Cinnamon and put her hooves on the pony's leg. "Like this?"

I'd say go for it. These are awesome.

I'm not quite sure if there's anything else I should add.

Edited a bit.

I do like the special effect gone wrong idea. And maybe Stagey wanted to incorporate something extra flashy for her first time with the lead part and set up her own downfall? I also like the use-her-own-feathers idea. And the masquerade. I'm thinking of adding a love of LARPing to her background as well. Which may have gotten her branded as a nerd and given her additional motivation to rise to stardom.

Sorry I haven't been responding so much, everypony. I'll get back to work on Stage Haunt soon, but my first priority is my English homework (I'm trying to write a children's book. And I'll have to illustrate it. And I'm running behind. So much fun...) Hey. ^_^ I did see your character app. before and thought "Oh. Another theater pony! I should go say hi to Noir," but you wound up posting here first.

I know. I started with just a pony in a mask and thought "Hmm... Maybe she could be a thespian. ...Wait. Theater? Mask? Of course!" I'm still trying to figure out the details. I'm not really sure how she would've gotten burned or exposed to a corrosive substance. Maybe a dragon was involved. Whatever happened, Stagelight probably thinks it wasn't an accident at all, and blames her understudy or a jealous filly who auditioned but didn't get in at all. I guess she uses her wings more for gesturing and expression than for flying, but if a performance calls for/can be enhanced by going airborne, she's more than happy to. She may also spread her wings in order to appear larger and more imposing. And I want an excuse to give her feathers to match her mask XD
