Elderflower Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Sugar Star Sex: Female Age: Young Mare Species: Pegasus Eye colour: Tickle me Pink Coat: Sugar’s coat is thick, healthy, and soft to the touch. Its hue is a warm sunglow gold. Mane/Tail: Straight and voluminous vanilla yellow with streaks of very pale cream. Star usually keeps her mane in a loose fishtail braid or ponytail to keep it from her eyes. Physique: Very athletic and toned but still quite feminine. Residence: The REA barracks in Canterlot. Occupation: Specialist in the Royal Equestrian Army. Cutie Mark: A shooting star with a pink tail that takes the shape of a wing. As a filly, Sugar Star and her mother were both very confident about the filly’s cutie mark being related to one of her many talents: beauty, baking, dance, or pageantry. When she was young, Star was an absolute whiz in these subjects. She didn’t start off that way, however. She was very much her daddy’s little filly, and she loved to roughhouse and play with him outdoors. But her mother saw that her Star had natural good looks and grace (much like herself) and decided to see if she’d be interested in something she herself had dabbled in when she was a youngster. At first, Star wasn’t interested; pageants, dancing, makeup, and dresses? No way! She laughed her mother off and then flew right outdoors to race other fillies and colts her age. Eventually, though, because she loved her mother and wanted to make her smile, Sugar Star donned a pageant gown – just to try it on. She loved it. In fact, she adored it. Her mother was happy, she was happy, and her father could only laugh at the whole situation. For a few years, Sugar Star indulged in pageants and performing. She was quite good, and gave a lot of lovely young fillies a race for their bits! And most importantly, she was happy. Well, happy but for one concern – all the fillies and colts her age were getting their cutie marks, and even though she felt certain she would get hers during a dance recital or a shopping spree with her mum, her flank remained bare. It happened during a dance recital. Sugar’s dance class was performing its last number, wowing the crowd as per usual and wearing huge smiles while they did it. Their costumes and set design for this show were particularly good, and the parents in attendance were going wild with their cameras! One parent, however, got a little too excited, and backed right up into the table holding the five-tier cake that had been custom ordered to celebrate the last dance recital of the year. The small commotion that was caused by the cake artist and the parent drew Star’s eye for a moment, but everything settled down quickly. The filly just so happened to turn her gaze back to the cake when she noticed that one of the table’s legs was shaking. It was all about to come down! Sugar Star, knowing how important that cake was to the artist and to all of the dance students and their parents, leapt from the stage with a lunge and a few flaps of her wings, then made the aerial dash towards the back of the auditorium. Things, however, were not that simple. Decorations and strings of lights made the space between the stage and the cake very difficult to maneuver through, and Star made a show of great agility in navigating through the obstacles. There were many confused “Ooooo’s” and “Aaahhh’s” as parents who weren’t sure if this was all part of the show watched the filly darting through the décor. More clear than any voice present, though, was her mother’s distinctive “AAAHHH!” of confusion and worry! Finally, Star made it through the decorations and had a clear path to the cake! She dove, flying swiftly, and made it just in time. Well, just in time for the cake to topple onto her. She didn’t quite make it in time to save the cake, and she was sorely disappointed. The cake artist was in tears! But when her mother came and helped her scrape away clumps of moist cake and sugary frosting, what she found beneath the mess made up for her failures that day: she had earned her cutie mark! Finally it all made sense! Sugar Star had always admired her father’s heroic work in the REA, but when she got swept up in her mother’s frou frou lifestyle she had forgotten all about that! From that day on, Sugar knew without a doubt that she wanted to dedicate her life to making Equestria and the world a better place, and it would be her wings that carried her towards her dream! History: Sugar Star was born to two pegasi in Canterlot: high-ranking stallion in the Royal Equestrian Army and a doting housewife and nurse. Though she loved rough housing and playing with her father, Star had a stint where she indulged in a more feminine lifestyle with her mother that distracted her from her fascination and admiration for her father’s military work. Once her cutie mark appeared, however, Sugar Star devoted herself to training and preparing to join the REA. The only feminine art she didn’t brush aside was dance. That helped her in the long run, too, since it gave her a looseness and fluidity while flying that really enhanced her agility! Alongside dance classes, she spent her time as a filly going to flight camps, speed camps, camps that focused on fancy wingwork – you name it, she enrolled in it! She pushed herself for years, until she was finally old enough to join the Royal Equestrian Army and follow in her father’s hoofsteps. She knows that in some ways she disappointed both her father and her mother. A military lifestyle meant she had less time to share with her mother bonding over ribbons and makeup, and though her father was glad to spend more time with his daughter, he knew better than most the difficulties of being in the REA. It wasn’t that he believed she didn’t have the stuff - he simply preferred the idea of his daughter living a happy, carefree life with more opportunities for him to spoil her. Since she joined the REA as a private, Sugar Star has worked her way up to the Specialist rank. Though it’s been a tough journey so far, she’s relished every moment of it, knowing that all of her toil brings her closer to her father in many ways. Getting to follow in her father’s hoofsteps and do him proud while protecting Equestria and its citizens has kept her happy as a clam. She wants to continue to climb ranks within the REA in her life and continue to push herself as a nimble flyer. It’s a pretty simple goal, but it’s one that’s very dear to her heart! Character Summary: Sugar Star isn’t exactly a tough nut to crack: she’s bubbly, sweet, has a bit of a playful/mischievous streak, and thinks the world is full of friends waiting to be made. Both on and off duty she is full of smiles and kindness and is always eager to help everypony to the best of her abilities. And if there’s nothing she can do, or if she is the cause of somepony’s hurt, well...consider her heartbroken. But not a crybaby - never a crybaby! She grew out of that pretty quickly in basic, and nowadays she only sheds a tear when somepony around her is really hurting (she saves tears over her own problems for the privacy of her room). Her empathetic nature doesn’t allow her to just brush off another’s pain, but instead drives her towards feeling it. It’s the main reason she was so eager to join the REA and she continues to dedicate herself to it. She wants to do some real good in her life! As a soldier Sugar is very professional and capable. She’s good at what she does, knows how to take control of a situation, and knows how to tackle a problem. She knows when to follow orders and when to ask questions, she’s resourceful, decisive, and possesses a good heaping helping of leadership skills (when a situation calls for them, anyways). And of course she’s got the athleticism to match as well: agility in the skies and on the ground, great hoof-to-hoof skills, and proficiency with swords and knives. The only quality she’s really lacking is confidence. Fearlessness? No problem - she can work past her emotions in order to perform her duties. But confidence? That’s a whole other can of worms. Sugar’s ultimate goal with anything in her life is to help others as much as she can. Any kind of failure hits her hard and has a terrible snowball effect. If she feels she has failed at one little thing she starts second-guessing herself like crazy. She’s very hard on herself, and the worst part about it all is that she’s prone to just bottling all of that uncertainty up. Another very important side of Sugar Star is the fanfilly in her. She’s always had a love for graphic novels and comics, which was a major influence on her love of hero stories and heroism in general! She sees her father as a kind of superhero and is terribly proud of him because of that. She’s actually quite a huge geek and always compares the ponies she meets to the character types found in her favourite romance and coming-of-age comics! Of course, most ponies end up being compared to Sailor Mare characters since it’s her #1 favourite comic series of all time! Sugar Star herself is a lot like the female leads in these stories. She has no real experience with romance, she can be very timid and bashful despite being almost painfully friendly, and she blushes at just about everything! Unlike most of those characters, though, she’s outgoing and definitely not a doormat. She is, after all, a soldier - meaning she’s one tough cookie! Some of her talents outside of flight and combat include dancing, baking/cooking, makeup and hairstyling, and knitting!
