Ploomette [Ready!]

[Ploomette]

Roleplay Type:  WoE preferred, but I'd love to get into FFA as well!
Name:  Ploomette
Sex:  Female
Age:  Mare
Species:  Pegasus
Eye colour: Teal, somewhat turquoise. It's somewhere in there.
Coat: Perky pink. Her wings are massive, with teal, yellow, and purple feathers akin to that of a peacock's. 
Mane/Tail: Teal, orange, light purple, and magenta. Her mane is kept short, with her teal and orange bangs dangling to the side. Purple 'lovelocks' reach down to her cheeks, and the back of her hair is pink and razor-cut. On the other hand, her tail is one big drill-coiled ringlet. A pair of peacock quills dangle out of the base of her tail, which are likely just part of her.
Physique: While not noteworthy at first, Ploomette has a strong back and somewhat muscular lower-leg strength. Her wings are massive compared to the average pegasus pony's.
Residence: Canterlot is her proper residence, but Ploomette is almost always out of town. She IS a "freelance adventurer", after all.
Occupation: Freelance Adventurer and traveling "mad alchemist". She's the sort that busts the baddies and slays the sinister, wherever she may be. It's in part because 'it's fun', but also her main source of income. If a mercenary was less morally ambiguous, that would likely be what she calls a "freelance adventurer". Her years of extensive magical studies across the globe have added to a magical catalogue that she uses to concoct new potionry to anyone who needs it---though she usually wolfs it down anyways. Beware, some of her potions have a few glitches; some are kinda permanent!
Cutie Mark: 

 

Unique Traits: One might immediately notice her powerful, peacock-like wings of a multitude of colors. Naturally, they are the direct (and permanent) result of her special talent. Ploomette has an extensive knowledge of different magic types, innate magic, and of course, potion-making. Naturally, only the last portion is something she can physically utilize, seeing as pegasi lack an inherent ability to use the large variety of magic that unicorns and (rumored) crystal ponies can. She claims that some of her magical prowess comes from her mom's side---all unicorns. But in reality, a lot of it comes from the number of potions she's downed in her lifetime, in addition to her magically-charmed wings.

 

History: Born in Canterlot, Ploomette was the child of a brilliant royal sorceress ("royal" being her affiliation with working for the princesses' own court of wizards) unicorn and a brave and noble royal guard pegasus, valiantly guarding the royal family since his youth. Taking after her father, Ploomette was a pegasus with an athletic streak. However, as she grew older, she desired more and more to delve into her mother's hoofsteps. She began following her father on scouting missions, and later trailing her mother on important travels regarding magical diplomacy. Despite not having even earned her cutie mark yet, the filly had her mind set on becoming a famous adventurer and traveling wizard---of some kind. Ploomette became obsessed with her studies, leaving her only interactions with other ponies to be study sessions and friendly spars (which were hard to find; not a lot of unicorns liked getting into useless fights). One day, Ploomette was taken along on a journey that involved both the royal guard and the royal sorcerers to help out with a bit of dragon trouble a griffin settlement was dealing with.

Since she couldn't fight, Ploomette spent her time gathering fancy ingredients for one of her many potions. Dragon scales, dragon claws, griffin fur and feathers, pegasus feathers, unicorn horn shavings....all common items that went into a brew that changed her life forever, once she brought it back to Canterlot with her. The bright pink potion was downed in secrecy, but the results were impossible to hide! Suddenly, magical energies flowed through her veins like mad, even if she didn't have a horn to use it with. Her wings grew in size exponentially, the feathers' color and texture becoming vivid and soft. The glistening quills emerging from her wings and tail were no doubt the signs of a successful potion. It would be the perfect display for the final exams----but how was she going to reverse it?! The next day came about, and a lot of nervous looks were given to Ploomette by her teachers and the visiting royal sorcerers here to judge the young ponies' magical feats. She was hiding....something under a blanket on her back, and she refused to let anyone take a sample of her potion. Had she horrifically mutated herself? Was she covered in festering boils? Had her wings permanently molted, or fell off altogether? When sternly asked to remove her blanket, she did so with reluctance.

 

Failure? Expulsion? 

 

Neither. 

 

The visiting sorcerers only gazed in awe at Ploomette's handy work, admiring that her wings had ultimately transformed for the better. They wouldn't burn off in the sun like so many other fake wing enhancements, nor did they inhibit her flight. Though the knowledge of Ploomette's potion remained archived (as nobody wanted to risk finding out what the potion would do to anyone older or not already winged), Ploomette was invited to take her place among the royal sorcerers as an apprentice once she finished up her grade school studies. Upon accepting the invitation, her cutie mark manifested as a symbol of her humble, yet pragmatically noble magic skills and ranks among the court of sorcerers. 

 

While still a member of the royal sorcerers, Ploomette left Canterlot as a grown mare to put her unique magic and years of sparring to good use as a "Freelance Adventurer" to solve whatever problems ailed anypony (for a price) and supply any helpful potions to other travelers and adventurers (for a steeper price).

 

Character Personality: Despite being the type to punch first and ask questions later, Ploomette is highly inquisitive, and a happy-go-lucky, perky individual. She adores learning about new magic and cataloging it in her book, and is thrilled about the idea of still having much more to learn about all the magical feats the world around her has to offer. Make no mistake, Ploomette will gladly throw down her potions and saddlebags to beat evil-doers into submission. 
Character Summary: Ploomette is an "OC" interpretation of a toy-exclusive pony with glimmer wings. Despite her wings, she is just a pegasus and not any sort of "flutterpony" or unlisted species. Her magic is only powerful in the ways of a pegasus and the potency/whimsical effects of her potions. She isn't capable of casting spells like a unicorn. Despite her quest for knowledge, she's no bookworm, but a noble adventurer seeking to rid the world of evil, one super-speed-and-fire-breath potion at a time.
