Occupation: Academic and art student Motivation: Duskus loves nature, and she tries to spark a love for nature in Trottingham the same way she did back in Stalliongrad through her art. She also wants her art to show the other side of things others might find unpleasant (for example, a tree being cut down, it kills the tree but gives another living creature shelter) Likes: Stallvador Dali (salvador dali), Abstract artwork, daydreaming. She is a huge fan of her fans however Dislikes: Easygoing "I'll do whatever comes to me first" ponies, Effortless drawings, good artists lost in fame while at the same time losing their talent,ponies who claim that they are unique just because they can afford things. However, she extremely hates anything that keeps her from drawing too long (School however, is an exception for her) Character Summary: Duskus lived in the heart of Stalliongrad in a working-class family. Her siblings always left home to expand the family's business in different ways, it was practically a tradition. Eventually Duskus found out her time was coming but wanted to do something different. She took up something she was interested in for a long time, art One day, her school had an art gallery and Duskus, being the artistic little girl she is, didn't hesitate to submit her first actual painting. It was a painting of a meadow in a smooth grayscale, and despite the low quality from the lack of materials she had, she had won a contest for "Best Rookie Artist" that was secretly being held during the gallery. Winning the contest inspired her to sell her paintings as a source of income. She had also gained her cutie mark from her talent being unveiled, and her parents saw that Duskus had found something she could live off of. They packed up their things and headed to Trottingham where Duskus would sell fine art to fine ponies. In school she is a basic student, but she excels in art due to her constant practice. After school she hangs out with some other fillies who are interested in her art, so she is fairly popular among those interested. 3 months after she was welcomed into Trottingham she began to make actual paintings, her favorite painting was one of a field covered in plants and firs, all in her signature grayscale. Duskus has also set up a gazebo during the farmers markets to sell her art with some help from her guardians. However, she often gets competetive with other artists, causing many awkward rivalries. She is very intense when it comes to selling her art, often trying to find a way into her customer's interests. She will often try and slide in some business into a conversation, having experience in selling things. Overall she is very friendly and also likes taking walks or hanging out in local events. Being young has its charm as well, and her rather childish appearance gets the other ponies talking to her. Being a rather "fast-talking" kind of pony, she can also be a bit incomprehensive and uses urban slang in most of her sentences. Once, a filly scout asked her for help selling some cookies. Duskus cut right to the chase and in less than 30 minutes, 24 orders were made. She likes being in the community she's in and is willing to do anything to help. Parents: After seeing Duskus' potential, they decided to join her and aid in helping her start a new life with the help of some family friends. They are both hard-working and believe in the phrase "Work to Live", teaching their kids that doing a good job will let them enjoy life at the fullest. But despite having two good parents with her, Duskus is the one who takes a parental role for herself sometimes, often having personal talks with herself as if her parents were right there with her when she is alone. However, she is still young and can have some bad judgement. Cutie Mark Story: After winning an art gallery by a landslide, she had gained her cutie mark; A black and white butterfly. Her love of nature in art takes form as the butterfly, and the black/white mix represents her grayscale art style. Flaws: She is often hotheaded when her dislikes start to show up, and will often cheat her way into and/or out of things when she is, such as breaking something and making someone else fix it without anybody knowing, not even the person cleaning up after her. Personality: She is very focused and sometimes cold. However, when it comes to art she opens up and becomes very flexible with the flow of things. When she is discussing art however, she can be a bit of a show off since she feels that she is very popular in the artistic community near Trottingham, when she is really just a top-ranked rookie.
