As such she has some recessive earth pony genes. Coat Color: Navy blue with a white backside (refer to the picture.)

Eye Color: Dark blue Cutie Mark: The hieroglyphic A, which resembles a bird. Physique: Relatively lean, and a few inches shorter then Pinkie Pie (as a reference). She is obviously not built for fighting, but for speed. Origin: Dusty was born in what is now Appleloosa, after her parents, two treasure hunters, had to stop travelling in an expedition. Her parents were hunting with a famous archeologist, Doctor Soulsand. They were an archeological dig in the Buffalo Camp, and Dusty's mother, Golden Shine, gave birth to her. Since she was born in the buffalo territory, the tribe adresses her as an honorary buffalo. Her traditional buffalo name, which she is adressed by sometimes, is Little Skysoul. Dusty was raised in a small village outside of Trottingham. There, Dusty's father, Rusty Relic, taught her about archeology. One of her first explorations was outside the village. She was looking through the damage from an avalanche that occurred at a nearby mountain range when she found an iron door underneath a few boulders. (Which she pushed out of the way due to seeing a strange print on one, turning out to be the door). She ventured in and found a secret tunnel,finally reaching a stone door. Beyond the door was a gigantic treasure trove, covered in gems, jewelry, and statues. On the mantle was a painting of the Princess's, and she came to the conclusion it was meant to be a form of tribute to them. When she learned to follow her instincts and understand the feeling of discovery, she decided she would an archeologist, and her cutie mark appeared. After finding her cutie mark, Dusty got an official education Manehatten, but studied abroad in Unyasi. She had went on her first group expedition there, and had some run-ins with unfriendly creatures. This gave her a taste of the danger ahead, and she loved it. Now, she travels all around, but has a real home (owned by a landlord, she pays rent to own it), in Fillydelphia. She spends a lot of time in Appleloosa and the Everfree forest, however, and sleeps in hotels and other places. Roleplay Type: Mane Roleplay Occupation: Dusty is generally an archeologist and treasure hunter, but is mainly an explorer at an archeological society. She is a part of the Dirt Pots society, an explorers guild. Lots of her money comes from trading artifacts with others. She hopes to own an antique store someday. Motivation: Dusty's true motivation is the pursuit of knowledge. She has a huge sense of curiosity. She wants to find out secrets, discover new places, and find out about her history. Another dream of hers is to travel with Doctor Soulsand. He stays out of the public eyes and his location is almost never known. As such, she wants to find the mysterious doctor and learn from him. Likes: Old things, books, treasure, spicy food, travelling, hot climates, buffalo, bugs Dislikes: Pickles, know-it-alls, ignorant people, overly sweet food, more pickles. Character Summary: Dusty is a very intelligent pony. She loves to share her knowledge, which sometimes gets her into trouble. She is mature enough to have adult conversations, but is still acts childlike and lacks life experience. She likes to have fun, and isn't afraid to speak her mind. She is extremely disorganized, and is a bit flighty at times. She is very determined and loyal, which may make her seem stubborn. But, she has a really good heart. She has a good sense of justice and really loves her friends. She is a bit cynical, but really just calls them how sees them. She is usually very tough, and only shows if shes hurt to people she trusts. It's easy to make friends with her, but difficult to earn her complete trust. She's acceptant of other ponies but is prone to making assumptions about them until they prove her wrong Dusty has a very big relationship with the Appleloosan buffalo. She is considered a member of the tribe, and as such visits a lot. Her guild, the Dirt Pots guild, goes on expeditions very often there. She knows how to read buffalo, as well as speak in traditional griffon, and read ancient Celestian (Old canterlot writing) She loves treasure, and can be a bit greedy at times. She's more interested in the historical value, or as a symbol of her victory. At one point, while getting her archeological education in Equipt (Egypt, home of the camels.), she encountered a dragon. With a lot of fighting and a really sore belly, she got a scale. This shows her determination and love for her craft. One thing she hates is when ponies mock her, her job, or FEED HER PICKLES. Nopony knows why, but she hates pickles. She would rather buck an Ursa then eat a pickle. Edit Log: November 10- Added cutie mark story, added to occupation.
