Fire Star

Gender:
Gender Neutral

Young Adult Pony

Species:
Unicorn

Eye colour:
Orange

Coat:
A medium brown is the base color. Their back and hooves up to the elbows/knees are stained with dark brown that start as a solid color, then fade into blotches/spots. Their muzzle is white with the same blotchy effect, spreading to their cheeks and in between their eyes.

Mane/Tail:
Fire Star's mane is kind of shaggy and unkempt, alternating in black and bright red stripes. Their mane is shorter in the back and the longer parts in the front dust her shoulders. Their forelock comes to a point in the middle. Their tail is also shaggy and kind of all over the place, also alternating in black and red stripes.

Physique:
Fire Star has an average pony build, although they are a little bit shorter than the average pony.

Residence:
Fire Star currently resides in Manehattan in an apartment on the third floor.

Occupation:

Fire Star goes around the city and uses their fire magic to light up all of the candles in the light posts on the streets, making it possible to navigate the city at night. They also sells some of their artwork on the side.

Cutie Mark:

 

A bright red star thickly outlined in black, with a cartoon crossbones and skull in the middle.

Fire Star got their cutie mark after having run away from home. They found themselves lost in the middle of Foal Mountain, and as they were about to give up all hope of ever finding their way out of a rather bad snow storm and severely regretting ever running away, they began to cry. After trying to be brave for far too long, they gave in and began to sob brokenly, one particularly strong sob mixed with a wail that echoed throughout the mountain range caused them to lose control of their magic, and a very strong beam of fire shot out of their horn, disintegrating all of the snow around them and the falling snow flakes. Stunned, they sniffled back their tears and found their ability to summon fire with their horn, and a bright light started to beam on their flanks, and thus they got their cutie mark! Thankfully, their best friend, Bunny Hop, had been secretly following them after they had run away, and Bunny Hop found Fire Star after also getting lost in the snowy mountain. Fire Star was very ragged and close to death, and Bunny Hop nursed them back to health. The skull and crossbones are a constant reminder to never give up and to never do something as foolish as running away from their problems in life ever again.

Unique Traits:

Fire Star can use their magic to summon and control fire. They also have a really good talent for artwork and mostly draws and paints, although they can do other arts and crafts.

 

History:

Fire Star was born as a blessing to a unicorn couple that did not think they would ever be able to have a foal. Despite all of this, however, their parents tried desperately to push magic on them, because they were born and raised in Canterlot. Fire Star studied some magic, but not much. They can do common things like pick things up/levitate objects. Their parents, ever confident in their little foal, forced Fire Star to apply to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. During the Unicorn Magic Aptitude Test, however, Fire Star failed spectacularly and severely disappointed their parents.

Fire Star, devastated in upsetting their mother and father, decided to run away from home, because what good is a unicorn without magic? It had been drilled in to their head that magic was their purpose and calling in life with little regard to anything else. As such, she got as far as Foal Mountain before they broke down, which led them to discover their special talent and gain their cutie mark, despite being weak and ill.

Fire Star returned home and apologized to their parents, finishing their schooling before they decided to move out as a grown pony, settling in Manehattan. They still write to and visit their parents, although not as often as they should.

 

During their childhood, Fire Star had a tough time. They was made fun of because of their "ugly" colors, compared to all of the other bright and colorful ponies. They even went so far as to try to bleach their mane and tail to color them a bright pink, but their father caught them right before they could start. They never had many friends growing up, but they does have a small circle of friends that they share treasured memories and times with, especially their best friend Bunny Hop.

When they were still in school, Fire Star discovered an after school art club. This is how they discovered her artistic talents and love for anything art wise, as well as meeting Bunny Hop. They appreciate the arts, past and present, and frequently goes to art showings and museums. Most of their art is on the darker side - skulls, gothic, punk, maybe a bit too morbid for the average pony, and is heavily influenced by her love of punk rock, rock and roll, and heavy metal music.

 

Character Personality:

Fire Star can be a bit rude and blunt, sassy and even off-putting. However, they are actually very nice and goes out of their way to help their friends. She can be sarcastic and sometimes even a hoof full at times, but they means well. They are always eager to discover new things and meet other ponies and creatures and overall has a good heart.

Character Summary:

Fire Star is a sassy but caring young unicorn pony with fire magic that uses their talent to light up the streets of Manehattan at night that has a talent for drawing and painting.

Hi there

 

I'd be happy to review this app for you!

 

Everything looks good to me, I only have one thing to ask about. How does her cutie mark relate to the story for the mark? I don't see a connection between a red star/skull and cross bones. This is usually the insignia for a pirate so not sure how getting lost and discovering she could control fire would conjure such a mark. Pleas update your story to include more reasoning for this mark.

 

Once you've had a chance to update please respond here and I'll take another look.
