Roleplay Type: World of Equestria RP – Tier 2

Name: Derpy Hooves

Sex: Female

Age: Young mare

Species: Pegasus

Eye colour: Yellow

Coat: Light gray

Mane/Tail: Derpy’s blonde mane and tail are rather unkempt.

Physique: Slightly leaner and thinner compared to a pegasus mare her age, as her weather team duties require that her legs and wings remain trim enough for sustained flight in hazardous conditions.

Residence: Ponyville

Occupation: Electrical Weather Specialist (EWS) 1st Class

Cutie Mark: Two large bubbles intermixed with five smaller ones form Derpy’s cutie mark. These bubbles signify that Derpy has an unbreakable bubbly personality, of course!

It was only natural that the accident-prone Derpy earned her cutie mark on the tail-end of a series of blunders. Determined to make her mother a birthday present for the ages, the blonde-maned filly set out to construct a spice rack for use in the family cloud house. And just to amaze her mum even more, Derpy would do this task without any help or guidance at all! Of course, the end result of her labors was an abomination that didn’t resemble a spice rack at all.

Nonetheless, Derpy proudly presented the gift to her mother as if it was a brilliant masterpiece. Her mother at first didn’t know how to respond initially, but seeing Derpy’s beaming face made her glad that nothing could ever bring her daughter. As the mother gladly confessed this to Derpy, the clumsy filly figured right then that yeah, even with all her mishaps, her inability to give into frustration would always set her apart from other ponies. Thus in front of her mom’s very eyes, Derpy’s cutie mark materialized.

History:

The daughter of a well-to-do couple of some of Cloudsdale’s premier scientists, Derpy Hooves was born with misaligned eyes. Not that Derpy minded her eyes all that much though; messing around with her unique field of vision actually provided her with hours of endless amusement as a foal. As she grew up, her mind figured out how to tune out one eye at will whenever she didn’t want to deal with skewed depth perception.

What did worry Derpy’s parents however was that their child apparently lacked any form of common sense at all. Derpy’s mum and dad loved their happy-go-lucky filly to death, but their best efforts were not enough to teach Miss Hooves to think through things first before performing actions. Always the impatient sort, Derpy hated being cooped up in flight school all day when she could be doing more fun things, and she didn’t care at all for the fact that she was a terrible student. Derpy in fact did manage to barely graduate with her peers, but even today, her parents with all their intellect just don’t know what went wrong.

As Miss Hooves matured into a mare, it came time for her to find a way to support herself. After spectacularly-failed stints as a mailmare, a nanny, and a doctor’s assistant, one of Derpy’s friends facetiously suggested that she apply to be an electrical weather specialist for a weather team. Derpy being Derpy, she failed to sense the inherent risks involved in a job notorious for a high turnover rate. All see could envision was a chance to get paid to play with thunderous lightning!

Applying for an open position in the town of Ponyville, the clumsy mare shocked those who knew her best in how comparatively competent she was dealing with airborne electricity. Never losing her nerve despite various on-the-job accidents, Derpy remained in her position long enough to “earn her wings” and achieve a promotion to EWS 1st class. To this day, the pegasus remains a resident of Ponyville and has no plans to move elsewhere.

Character Summary:

As an electrical weather specialist 1st class, Derpy Hooves is expected to help trigger lightning bolts during scheduled thunderstorms, break up rogue weather systems blowing in from the Everfree Forest, and perform other tasks requiring the handling of electrically-charged clouds. Hardly anything else can excite the mare more than causing clouds to go BOOM, although it does kinda stink for her whenever she gets electrocuted in the line of her duties. As she understands things... clouds tend to work funky.

To the great annoyance of many ponies, bad luck and calamity seem to surround Miss Hooves. Thanks to Derpy’s impatience and sheer inability to learn from past mistakes, almost anything that the ditzy pegaus tries to accomplish will ultimately end in failure. Such failures have oftentimes come with injury (both to herself and to others) and property damage to boot. To Derpy however, none of the misfortune she causes is really all that bad; all that matters is that she keeps persisting for the sake of others and to try over and over again, right?

As Derpy in many ways never “grew up” so to speak, she has an insatiable love to keep on catering to the inner foal within her. Aside from a passion for toy collecting and a hunger for sweets (cookies, muffins, pies; they all taste delicious in her book), the pegasus has a tendency to daydream and get lost in an exciting imaginary world that despite being mismashed from all sorts of other factional stories, is in fact totally original in every way! But perhaps Derpy’s crowning achievement might be the creation of Derpyball; a game where the only rules are that the game can’t be played in the same way twice! Such rules come in handy a lot for Miss Hooves, as she thinks having to remember rules is for chumps.

For all the headaches caused by Derpy Hooves over the years, those who’ve come to know her personally can’t deny that the young mare is simply fun to hang around if not entrusted with any responsibilities. Derpy possesses a sense of childlike wonder that few ponies her age posses, and she absolutely never hesitates to try anything new to introduce herself to somepony if the opportunity presents itself. The pegasus furthermore doesn’t have it in her to become judgmental in under any circumstance, even if somepony she’s with is genuinely bothersome to others. As long as a pony’s willing to hang out with her, then everything’s all right for Derpy!

For the foreseeable future, Derpy Hooves is set on remaining on Ponyville's weather team while making sure to write to her parents in Cloudsdale every so often. Hapless she may be, but the pegasus is quite content with her easygoing life and has no plans to aim for anything greater. As far as the googly-eyed pony is concerned, her world is already sunshine and rainbows, and it will remain that way as long as she keeps being her bubbly self!
