Character Summary:

Satin was raised in Cloudsdale by her mother who was a Pegasus accessories designer who had been becoming increasingly popular at the time of her fillyhood. Satin had always been shorter and slighter than most of the ponies her age, and most of the time, she got teased for this reason and especially for her (apparently silly) dream of being a pro flyer. Although, this teasing wasn’t harsh, or cruel, but that of a playful manner, as her happy-go-lucky, childish and fun personality always ensured her a little bit of respect with her peers.

It was a warm day, and her mother had asked her to help with some work, - her usual assistant was sick - designing a new range of bows. Satin always liked helping her mother with her work (not that she was ever asked to help - she was undoubtedly clumsy on the ground!) when she saw the sunlight from the window glistening off the silk fabric laid out on the worktops, a new found motivation inspired her: she would become the most adored fashion designer in all of Equestria!

She helped out in her mother’s workshop whenever she could, and found that she could not make a pretty garment to save her life! She tried her hoof at all sorts of dresses and outfits, but no matter what, she couldn’t seem to get better at making them! With a little encouragement from her mother, she then tried her hoof at accessories. She found it easier, and within a few days of hard work, day and night, her first design was ready: a blue bow for one’s mane, with a streaming ribbon of satin. She was exhausted after all her hard work, and could barely whisper a cheer as her mother pointed out her newly received cutie mark - determining her future for accessory design - even though she was thrilled to the skies about finally being able to understand (one of) her calling in life!

Although she loved designing her accessories with her mother, she couldn’t forget her childhood dream of being a pro flyer, and despite her busy schedule, she trained hard in order to be picked up by a flight team, even as just a reserve, and her wings soon became stronger than ever! Her build also allowed her to be super speedy, although she’s easily buffeted by strong winds.

It was on a particularly breezy day when she had a day off from her design work. She knew she might not get another chance to practice and train for a while, so she had to take what she could get! She was practicing a move she had yet to perfect, and was getting frustrated at herself for not being able to pick up enough speed against the breeze. She landed and cursed herself for her slight build.

When she landed, she noticed a purple stallion standing just underneath where she had been flying. She avoided his eyes and began to make her way home, exhausted. She unfolded her wings again, but before she could take off, the stallion cried out.

The two talked for some time, and he soon revealed he was captain of a pro flight team, and he felt she had potential. At first, Satin could barely believe it, but with some assurance from her soon-to-be captain, Crescent Blaze, she realised that this could at last, be her chance.

Crescent didn’t want her to get her hopes up just yet, as he needed to see her train.

Training was hard at first, but Satin refused to let this opportunity pass by. She trained her hardest, and with the guidance and help that her captain provided she soon perfected any move thrown at her. He never said, but it was clear he admired her speed and her determined nature - even though she wasn't afraid to speak her mind, especially if she didn't like a routine!

On her day off of training, the young mare was relaxing at home, drawing out some new design plans, when Crescent came through her door, and in a rush, explained that it was high time she was accepted onto the team. She received her signature flight goggles, and she could hardly believe it was now a reality: she was a pro flyer.

To this day, the mare carries on her rather childish and quirky traits, but is determined to train her hardest - and keep designing her accessories - in order to prove herself even further, to her captain, her mother, her childhood classmates, and most importantly - to herself!

I assume this is the foundation of a cutie mark story? :P

If you could expand on the cutie mark, the usual when she got it, how she got it, when she got it, and what it means to her, that'd be awesome :)

Great application. The only thing I feel I need to point out is any flying group created is automatically a level below the Wonderbolts, who are established as thee elite flying group. Like I said though, there can be competative and areobatic groups below them (such as the AeroBlades), but I figure I clarify any such groups standing as an FYI.
