Neon Pop

((ooc- omfg sorry everyone!! i was at work! OTL)) "Ohhh! Gallopocous Islands huh? I have a summer home up there, its awfully nice there when its hot. But I must agree, they have the best bananas!" Neon said with a smile as she propped those glasses of her back onto her nose and hoofed the cold delight, looking it over carefully. "Wow! This has to be the more colorful smoothie I think I've ever had. I live in Ponyville, how did I not hear of this place?" Course that was mostly meant for herself, Neon did have a habit of talking to herself, though when the topic of paying came up, she paused before tasting and nodded. "Right! I almost totally forgot, suuuuuch a space case, sorry~" Pop mused, reaching to her little purse and pulling out the three bits she owed. "Here ya go! Thanks so much for this!" However, she was pretty much clueless to the eyes starting to recognized that neon hair and markings of hers, and just as she was about to take a sip from her smoothie, Kat strolled up and actually called her by name. This was common for her, so she wasn't at all surprised, at this point in her career, at least one pony would know who she was, so with a big smile, her horn glowed a bright pink as well as the drink, and before she knew it, the smoothie was suspended in the air, shimmering and flashing lightly as if it was part of Neon's light show. "Yes! Whats up, pony pop?" Pony pop, it was a name she used for all the fans that recognized her, just a cute endearing name. Though under those ever popular sunglasses of hers, those heavy lashed eyes fluttered sweetly.

Neon reached her hoof to her sungalsses and raised them up, showing those orange eyes as they once again looked about the place. Oh, my was this mare one busy pony! Maybe she should have come by later? Perhaps wait, she didn't want to rush the poor chocolate colored pony. She honestly didn't know how this mare did it, work all by herself to keep one cafe running. Course it didn't help she came at lunch time, which for any place, was a busy time. Neon patiently waited for her turn, looking to the menu and reading over what Mocha had to offer, so far all of it sounded delicious, and yet, didn't seem like it was quench her thirst. Well, that was until she saw an orange and banana frothy smoothy. There was a delighted swish of her tail as she was then spoken too, looking to the door to see just who it was that walked in. A citrus pony! How rad! "Oh right!" Neon said snapping back to Mocha's attention. "Hey there, darling!That orange banana smoothy is lookin' prett-y taste-y. It seems like you're awfully busy, I don't mind waiting till every one is helped, or! I can help if you want! I've got nothing important to do!" Except record that darn album! Neon Pop, just what where you doing?! Your manager caught you, that would be the end of you! And the press would just eat this up! No matter, she was going to do it anyway if the mare needed it, though, that colt did just offer the same services.

It was a looooong harsh morning for poor Pop. Woke up early just to record a few things, didn't actually finish a song, which she should have. It just... wasn't coming to her today, every artist had that run in with that nasty little block, right? "Distressing..." Neon said to herself as she laid upon the back of her pet alligator, Alejandro. Her orange eyes starred at the pop art on her wall, hear ears pressed to her head. "Alejandro... just what am I to do? I need inspiration, and I need it quick! I have an album expected out in a few months. I can't keep working at this rate..." Course all Alejandro could do was lay there like a lazy, fat, bum. He did though have a distinctive expression of dislike for her being on his back. Pop tilted her head and looked off to the side. This was seriously getting her down in the ruts, she wasn't feeling herself, that was for sure. There was a sigh to leave the plumb colored mare as she rolled onto her back and held all four hooves up. "In-spir-a-tion!" Though chanting wasn't getting her anywhere, or anything, well... maybe a more grumpy pet. With the growl that left his lips, Neon rolled back to her belly and huffed. "Well fine! I'll get off you, you big baby." Neon scoffed, though playfully, and soon hopped off him, allowing him to walk out through the 'alligator door' to head outside. As those orange orbs watched him waddle through, she stomped her hoof. "Thats what I have to do! I have to get out and mingle!" Quickly, Neon Pop dashed over to her dressing room, tearing through all her things, finally coming to the most absurd... corset... like... with pointed shoulders and a flared collar and, well, it was special. Fashion, but most ponies wouldn't have been caught dead in such outlandish clothes. Neon however, loved the strange and eccentric, even if what she wore was silver and sparkled with every bit of movement she made. Pop fluffed her hair, alright, more like teased it to look like puffy pig tails and dawned her typical sunglasses. Today they were large, like most, and bright sparkly purple, all in all she matched, just... she stood out. Stepping out into the sunlight, Neon took in a deep, relaxing breath and trotted along her way. Just where was she to go? No, not the flower shop, not the library, how about the spa? Oh no, not right now, she'd do that later. Oh! Perfect! Pops stopped in front of the cafe and looked about through her seemingly solid sunglasses. The cafe seemed busy, but that was fine, still she was thirty. As she trotted inside her eyes scanned the ponies there, and inside she gasped. DJ Neighsay! This was her lucky day, well.. maybe, but first... that drink!

that could work. i was thinking like, doing regular rping, like, start up a thread in gallopocous island, and do like, half in character and half in letter style? so kinda like, It was a long day for Neon, and the only thing she was looking forward to was that one letter she would get from that sweet little filly. Sure enough there it was, sitting there waiting for her. It was sudden, Neon dashed over, opened it up and read what the little foal had to say. Oh how exciting, helping out around the inn, so sweet! At that point she grabbed her quill and started to jot down words on her own paper: Dear Coral, I must say your letter was refreshing! Its good to see you are doing great, it always makes me smile to know you care so much to help your family. i think you get the idea. i'm only suggesting this, cause... frankly. i SUCK at replying to notes. even willow can tell you that one. XD

alright! so with this pen pal thing, i was wondering how you wanted to go about it, and how to start it! cause to be honest, i' so looking forward to this!

oh! i wasn't referencing Pinkie, actually, alejandro is not a tiny cute alligator. XD to be dreadfully honest, i couldn't think of a better pet for neon, and alejandro was originally going to be pink. XD but he's not really going to be in anything, he was made more for neon's gijinka form then anything, in which she takes him around everywhere. but seeing she's a pony with a full grown alligator as a pet, most she could do is... hitch a ride on his back! haha so only small mentions will be made. also, i was wondering, if at all i should make up a discography for people to reference if needed? iunno, seems silly to me, but i thought it might help. and thanks, mocha for accepting her! i'm very pleased with how pop came out and can't wait to throw her into an rp!

heeey! sarcastic! good to see you here too! ^_^ -is totally prettypenny-

i would hope so! thats the general feel she tries to give out!

hnng thank you! she took me forever to get right! she was actually going to be yellow. not neon yellow, but yellow. then i thought that her cutie mark just had to glow, and so i went through various dark colors. i eventually found a cool pop art neon picture on da that inspired me further with her design. i've made several ponies, and she just happens to be my favorite.

omgosh! she's adorable! if both our characters get accepted, i would be MORE then happy to be a penpal!

Character Summary: Pops was born into the lime light. Her parents knew she had talent the moment she could talk, cause when she spoke, it was singing! As soon as she did, they encouraged her, taught her how to speak properly, how to carry herself and one day after enrolling into school, she was thrown into talent shows all over. Starting off, Neon didn't do as well as they hoped, she was still really rough around the edges, but as Neon got older, and realized that singing was her calling, she tried her best to perfect that hidden voice. Around middle school was when it all started to happen, school talent show, bigger crowd then what she was used to, and singing a song she wrote. Neon's very first pop song. Needless to say, she froze, starred at the crowd, shivering in her hooves, but, as she looked to her parents and saw how proud they were of her, her face lit up, as well as that cutie mark and her voice belted out through the air. Such a powerful voice for a young foal, but ponies where pleased to hear her. Neon went on practicing and learning, sure she still needed a lot of work, pitches and what not, then there was learning how to play instruments, and then it was showmanship, trying to learn to dance, use her magic to make her already glowing marks flash and beat to the sound of the music. Years later, when she was halfway through pony high school, Neon got her big break. All that work paid off, and she was signed to a small record company, and put out her first album. It wasn't anything ponies bought, or rushed out to get, even recognized. Though Neon's manager booked her gigs and got her small interviews, her name started to get out there. It wasn't until a year and a half later, that Neon Pop made her first hit on her second record, "Pretty, Pretty, Please," which was conveniently the titled of her first hit. Several years passed, and she was starting her second tour, when her record company fell under, and Neon went with it. She was getting zero founding, and the tour was too much out of her expertise, so the whole tour was canceled. Neon vanished from the media for a few good years, trying to buck herself up and start all over again. That time came soon however, when she ran into a strong record company, Pophoof Records, and she tossed out her fifth album, which climbed the Top Hits list in a week. Pop was back on top, loving every minute of it, soaking up the attention, the press, the fans. To this day, Neon doesn't consider herself to be the 'Pop Star', and instead of hiding from regular ponies, Neon learned that "We are all ponies, no matter the pelt, personality, even the status of our lives. I shouldn't have to hide from everyone because I make music, I should step out and mingle, and spread my love for the ponies who know me, and to those who don't, and share with them the joy I feel when I sing. I'm not better then anypony else in this world, and I should never act like it." She lives in a large cottage just outside Ponyville, with her pet alligator, Alejandro, to this day. ------------------------------------------------------- Art By Others! Art by Dessa!
