WillowWisp

Fluttershy smiled when Starlight seemed to be able to push himself just fine. But when he noticed she'd stopped and then did so himself she couldn't help feeling a pang of sympathy for the foal. The best she could do was to try and cheer him on and encourage him. 'You were doing good there, I didn't even have to push anymore,' she trotted over and sat next to his scooter. 'Pretty soon I bet you'll be zipping around all over on this scooter, and then, even the sky.' He looked rather sad being stuck on the ground and she could imagine it was probably hard from him to be away from his parents. She wished there was more she could do to help, but at least she could try and get his confidence up. 'Your dad is right, you'll be flying soon. I know it must be hard to be here, and have them be there. I bet you feel lonely. But they just want you to be safe. Even being able to walk on the clouds doesn't mean you might not fall. I was knocked off by accident. And had a been a stronger flier I would have been able to help myself. I was very lucky those butterflies happened along.' She reached out and put a hoof on his head and smiled gently. 'You know what... if you keep working at it, you'll get it. You could even be one of the best fliers in Equestria. Even the Wonderbolt's themselves had to start somewhere, right?'

'Yeah, maybe. I tend to be around if I ain't working in the back, or deliverin' stuff,' Truffle nodded as the stallion turned to leave. 'Hope you like your swords.' Of course now the shop was empty again, so she didn't need to stick around. But since she was waiting on her supplies she was kind of stuck. The Dragon sighed as she eventually went outside again, plopping down next to the mailbox. 'Gee, I ain't ever gonna get these rocks am I?' Truffle let out a groan as she flopped back and laid looking up at the sky. 'How am I suppose to get anythin' done with no material? Feh! This is the most boring waste of time ever!'

'A dreamlet?' Fluttershy had to ask as they began to head out of the little hidden forest paradise. She wondered exactly what that was, since it wasn't a word she'd heard before. Though she was able to at least figure it had to do with his dream type abilities he'd mentioned before. If all Perytons were like Skye, she imagined them to be very helpful beings. 'She might sleep during the day. I don't know. Hopefully we won't bother her. And yes, tea would be wonderful. I think that's a good way to meet other ponies. You get to talk and relax. I wouldn't mind having her and you at my cottage. Company is nice.' She smiled. Maybe this would be a lucky day and she would make two new friends. If not, at least she'd made friends with Skye... and she got to see a wonderful new place out in the woods. That made her happy.

Small note: Relationships with cannon characters are not allowed, such as being acquainted with Zecora.

Well looking at the app over all, the name to me didn't read as a light house keeper with a spoke wheel cutie mark. I'm not going to argue with you, I'm just saying the name doesn't read as a pony name. Look at the show for example, Twilight Sparkle does magic and her mark is sparkles, it fits all together. This app is being handed off to admins as it is, because of some other concerns. So we'll leave it for them.

Look, I'm just going with what's set in the rules. There are guidelines in the mod section for us to follow and ashi put it there, ponies don't have last names, or family names. In the instance in the show, for all we know, "granny pie" could have been anything. Her name may really have been Blueberry Pie for all we know, so it may not even have reference to Pinkie sharing that name. The point is that it has been said that the names are suppose to be unique to the character. Even if we leave out the whole family name... Viola Antillia doesn't really sound like a pony name to start with.

the person who accepted that app was help staff and probably didn't know. That's an unfortunate mistake, but as a mod I'm just telling you that we try to catch these things. Sometimes apps get pushed through before we get a look at them all. And this comes from Ashi on another app:

added a bit more history to her app, nothing changed character wise, just backstory... such as her Cutie Mark tale.

It has been mentioned before on another app which is why I brought it up. I can't find the right app but, it is best to be consistent.

Viola Antillia was born in Canterlot, the only foal of Natasha and Sean Antillia Just a quick comment here, Ponies do not have last names. Their names are unique to them. Their names usually have something to do with their personality or their likes. Viola doesn't really sound like a pony name.

Just a note, the name here in the app and the name of the subject title are different. One is misspelled.

Mudbug is right, we've asked others to remove references to videogames and electronic toys because there is no cannon proof of those being in the world.

Considering he's an adult without a Cutie Mark, I don't know if this will be allowed. The show makes it clear that all ponies get a mark, and at a young age. If "Denarius' main strength is his ability to coerce and convince." as you put it... then he clearly has some strong skill, whether it be good or not. And that would be something leading to a mark.

Wisp just smiled and followed along as Braeburn led the way. She didn't want to be a burden to anypony, or in this case, pony or mule. Surely she could just stay in the local inn. Appleloosa had to have an inn, right? 'Grimmy?' She looked to Bluebelle, opting to address that topic first. 'Grim is my little cousin. A school aged foal. He lives with me in Ponyville. After I moved there not too long ago, his parents thought it might do him some good to stay with me for awhile.' She sighed and shook her head. 'I hope he'll go find somepony to stay with when I don't come home. He's made a couple friends... surely he could stay with one of them. Everypony is really nice in town it seems.' Of course now that the explanation was out of the way, Wisp was ready to jump on a topic the Stallion thought was settled. She wasn't worried about the 'haunted' pass, no, she wanted to see it for herself. And it sounded like Braeburn at least knew the stories or those who did. 'So... this missing train, and headless horse thing... do folks around here really believe it? When does the haunting hour start? Dusk? Or does it have to be completely dark? I'd sure like to go out there and see for myself. I mean, that's some good story material. I wonder if I could find the real cause of it. Sure would be great for my book.' Yes, Willow Wisp had a new agenda. If she was going to be there for at least a day, then she was going to check out this pass. 'You think you could show me around out there tonight, Braeburn?' Surely a member of the Apple Family wasn't scared of ghost tales... right?

Yeah the highlights in that one got a little lost due to me shrinking it to fit a certain size. ^^; Typically the shine and shadows are a lot more defined... more or less because I like to see a good contrast in hair. Makes it seem less flat. As for getting expressions right, it can be a challenge. I find the best way to practice is to just draw faces, but not lining them with a head outline. Just focus on the bits and pieces of the expression and how they change. I have pages full in my "scribble" book of just eyes, mouths, noses ect. These doodles, well the pencil ones, take me no more than 5 minutes. I just quickly draw them, no erasing. I consider it practice. If those look bad, who cares, they're in my "scribble" book anyway. As for compeleted images like the color ones, that depends. The sketch itself, maybe 15 minutes, but then once I scan it, depending on the simplisity it can take me up to two hours just lining it, since I use a mouse. Then probably at least another hour worth of coloring. And if I do a background, then another hour there most likely. There is no wrong length of time though... however if you really just want to do quick sketches, set a timer... and when it beeps, then stop, no matter what it looks like. It's all part of practicing. And sometimes, well, things aren't gonna be pretty. heh.

I had to giggle at the "spiked punch" joke. No little kid would get that. Also, I was rather impressed with the accurate description Twilight was starting about comets.

Well, there's at least two eligible fillies, two eligible stallions which leaves... One ineligible mare, and one very confused buck... You'll are making this idea all too tempting! AS for Skye, well from what I here he never has too much trouble in that department. As for AJ, c'mon..its AJ, what colt wouldn't want to date her, I am sure she will be fine. XD A filly fight... or uh... a fight for fillies... filly fight sounds like two girls duking it out.

'Oh yes, she does. And you probably saw Pinkie Pie and Spike. They were suppose to be covering the race that day... though Pinkie Pie tends to say all sorts of things.' She laughed lightly at that. Her friend was rather random, and all ponies she knew would agree. 'But I'm sure Twilight would let you borrow it, or go with her. She is very nice. And if you're my friend, then you'll probably be her friend too.' Fluttershy wondered for a moment what it would be like to not be able to fly. To her a hot air balloon wasn't needed, but she imagined for someone who never left the ground, it would be very exciting. 'Part of your magic lets you get back here quickly? Oh that's interesting. See, you can Twilight would have plenty to talk about... with her talent being magic and all.' Getting up she stretched. 'I wonder if now is a good time to go over there... I mean it's not night time yet...but surely that Unicorn is home... since I've never seen her leave sooner than late afternoon. Do you think we'll bother her?'

Grim wasn't really in the mood for playing now. He'd just been trying to keep Sweetie Belle from being pegged with a spit wad but he ended up with a warning due to making a scene. That and now Champ was out to get him. At least he'd done what he intended and kept her from getting hit though, and she seemed thankful. But now the foal was a bit lost in all that was going on. Class seemed like it was going to start again, until someone started shouting from the roof. So recess was called. He would have stayed in, but since Champ was doing that, he opted otherwise. 'Huh,' his attention turned to Twist when she approached. 'Oh yeah, it was good. You really do have a gift for that.' He gave a weak smile that, like all his smiles, faded quickly. 'No wonder you got a candy can for a Cutie Mark.' As he made his way outside, he ignored the shouting pony on the roof, and made his way over to a tree. Sitting in the shade was his kind of thing, even if it seemed anti-social. 'What a morning...' he sighed again. 'School was never this way back home...'

As Taxi took his leave, Fluttershy nodded and offered a good bye, 'We'll have fun, I'm sure.' She hadn't said it yet, but Starlight reminded her a bit of herself. Not that she had been small like him, but she'd been a weak flier. She continued to give him little pushes, but as he started to flap his wings, the yellow Pegasus backed off a little. And then, without saying anything, she just stopped. She hoped that soon Starlight would notice he was doing it, and with his own power. 'I was a weak flier too.' Fluttershy felt her story might be a good distraction first, so he wouldn't panic when he saw she wasn't pushing anymore. 'I struggled a lot... and even fell once. That was very scary. But a huge swarm of butterflies caught me. It just takes practice to build up your wings.' She smiled. 'I'm still nowhere as good as my friend Rainbow Dash, but I'm able to fly like any average Pegasus. And you will too. I just know it.'

'Until tomorrow? Poor Grimmy...' Wisp sighed hearing that. She hoped Grim would be okay by himself. Surely he would go find someone when she didn't come home. He had met a couple other colts already, maybe he could stay with one of them while she was gone. She looked to Bluebelle, an embarrassed look on her face. However in the back of her mind she couldn't help note the irony in the whole scene. From what she saw while Braeburn was visiting his family, he was the one usually rambling and someone was shouting to get his attention. 'Oh, nice to meet you two, Bluebelle... and you don't have to offer me a place to stay. I mean I'm practically a crazy stranger from the train.' Wisp chuckled lightly. 'If you're just moving in here, I don't want to be a bother.' Then she looked back to the stallion as he went about picking up the mess she made. Something he'd said in his explanation had her interests perked. And if she was going to be there for at least a day then she wanted to know more. 'And what do you mean the pass is haunted, Braeburn? You mean you got a local ghost story?' That was right up her alley. 'Well I'm here, I could look into that... oh I bet that would be great for my guidebook.'

With those two and how we ben playing them, could be just about anything, from fillies to carrying bales of hay to an eating contest. Now I think somehow some bet or contest has to be worked into the RP to accommodate this image. Lol fighting over Fillies... I could see that. May the best cousin get the date huh? XD

Just a doodle while I was waiting for a DR. Apt. Don't know what Mac and Braeburn are fussing about... I was just scribbling and that's what came out.

I'm a little confused on what his name has to do with him. A corsair is a french privateer who did raids for the king... perhaps something a bit more fitting of a race pony would be better.

Candy? Grim had just been listening to each of the stories as they were told. But when Twist's came with candy he had to blink. That was one way to get popular with most any group of foals. Maybe he should have brought something to hand out as well. Then maybe nopony would pick on him. And if nopony picked on him and he made friends, he could go home. Not that he didn't like living with his cousin, but he missed his mom and dad. As he waited for the sweets to be passed out he glanced over toward Sweetie Belle's desk. He was going to write her a song, just like he promised. The white Unicorn actually had him quite smitten but he wouldn't admit it out loud. She was just perfect in his mind, soft spoke, polite, and had a wonderful voice. He caught Champ fiddling with something out of the corner of his eye and knew exactly what it was. Grim often found himself the spit ball target back home and the motions were all too familiar. Without saying anything, he sprung up from his desk, not caring if it drew attention and in the nick of time, took the hit instead. The wet paper wad nailing him in the side as he turned his attention to the bully. 'Hey,' he paused. What was he going to say? Grim wasn't good at this kind of thing, and his eyes instantly shot to the floor. 'You... you shouldn't do that. It's...it's rude.'
