I can't promise non-ponies will be particularly great, but I'm willing to give them a try.

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria

Name: Shenanigan

Sex: Female

Age: Filly

Species: Pegasus

Eye colour: Green

Coat: Her coat is an overall orange tone very similar to apricot. She bares simple feathered wings which are slightly smaller than average, but perfectly capable of flight. She doesn't often wear much of anything, but has been known to wear funny hats or gag-goggles from time to time.

Mane/Tail: Her burnt orange mane is kept to the length of her chest while her tail rests a few inches above the ground. When properly brushed and styled, her mane and tail has a slight tendency to curl at the ends. However, more often than not, her mane and tail are styled by being windblown or from her habit of hanging upside down.

Physique: Shenanigan considers herself to be fairly average as far as pegasi go. She isn't particularly tall or short, nor particularly heavy or thin. She also isn't particularly strong or fast. However, she does have a rather light step and a quiet flap, which allows her to be particularly sneaky from time to time.

Residence: Fillydelphia

Occupation: Joke Shop Assistant/ Freelance Prankster

Cutie Mark: Shenanigan's cutie mark is a open blue can with three green snakes leaping out of it, much like the typical can o' snakes gag.

As a young filly, Shenanigan was a rather straight-laced and even obedient foal, though she was well known to have a bit of a competitive streak. She often felt a need to surpass her peers, even in silly trivial feats, such as spit-bubble-blowing. Unfortunately, this behavior labeled her as a show-off among her peers, and as a result, Shenanigan often was alone during her recesses. It was something that Shenanigan couldn't figure out for the longest time, as she always thought everypony would want to be friends with somepony who was really good at everything.

It was during her birthday party when one of the young colts felt it would be a swell idea to wrap a can o' snakes as a gift. Upon opening it, Shenanigan was terrified. The ensuing laughter caused a sudden realization to dawn within Shenanigan. In that instant, she discovered that the only way to make any friends was to somehow cause them to laugh through a prank - a prank they would all never forget!

The planning and preparation stages took weeks. However, one morning, the entire town of Fillydelphia awoke to find that the entirety of the town had been painted bright red. Every building, every street, even every plant, all of it was completely red while Shenanigan and the other young fillies and colts laughed and laughed.

Naturally, the other citizens of Fillydelphia were not nearly as amused by the redness of the town. In punishment, Shenanigan was forced to wash off all the red paint. While she was beginning her punishment, to her surprise some of her classmates approached and even helped her to wash the paint, even though it took all day. Yet even as she washed, all she could do was smile, happy to have been able to make her classmates laugh and make some friends in the process. It was at that moment that Shenanigan realized that all she wanted to do in life was pull off amazing pranks on everypony and make even more friends, which caused her cutie mark to appear.

History: Shenanigan is the oldest daughter of Fillydelphia's Shamrock Shamus (Fillydelphia's prominent clover farmer) and his wife, Emerald Showers. Growing up, Shenanigan was the pride of her parents, often doing well in school and getting along fairly well with others. She was a fairly happy young foal, but due to her competitive nature she often found herself alone since nopony really wanted to hang out with a show-off.

However, the "Shenanigan Incident" of Fillydelphia turning red was a surprisingly defining moment for Shenanigan, and not just due to her cutie mark. The prank had gained the attention of many of the foals in her class, who found the idea weird, but cool. Over time, Shenanigan and her new-found friends pulled many other, smaller pranks. Some of the older folk in Fillydelphia considered the group a bunch of troublemakers, but others seemed not to have a problem with the group, so long as no one was harmed by the pranks, of course.

Once out of school, Shenanigan became a shop assistant at the joke shop which she bought so many of her pranking supplies when she was younger. She has become quite a source of amusement for younger ponies, though many older ponies ( especially teachers) do not find her nearly so amusing.

Shenanigan isn't a pony with a very strong sense of family, and due to this she doesn't have a particularly good relationship with her parents ( they believe that she sets a bad example for her little sisters, Knick-knack and Paddywack,) but she does have a fairly good relationship with her uncle, O'brennan. Shenanigan doesn't seem to mind this, as she is eager to travel Equestria and maybe even beyond to discover new pranks and new ponies to prank.

Character Summary: Fresh clover casseroles covered with honey, the steam that forms when hot water is running, that moment when she wakes and can stretch out her wings, those are really Shenanigan's favorite things - that aren't pranking related.. Shenanigan is a prankster through and through. She delights in anything to get a rise out of other ponies. She is often the first to suggest scary stories around campfires, and the pony who brings a present with a trick inside to a party. However, because of this, Shenanigan has a bad tendency to sometimes go too far with her pranking. She isn't particularly mean-spirited, but from time to time things go out of hoof and somepony ends up very upset or even hurt. In such situations, Shenanigan is often rather quick to apologize and try to make amends. Of course, that won't stop her from going back to pranks just a few minutes later, but some suppose it is the thought that counts.

I was told by a rather helpful pony in my introduction thread that I should probably set up a thread here to take requests for drawings OCs and such - so here I am!

Here's a couple of examples of my work.

Thanks everypony! I'll try my best to have a lot of fun and get involved.

MyLittlePonyTales, thanks for the advice! I do like to draw OCs for fun, though I'm not really that good at it yet. I'd be glad to try my hoof at one of your OCs though

Hello fellow newbie! Welcome to the site!

Wow! Thanks everypony for the really warm welcome! I hope I'll be joining you all in discussions and rps soon!

About Myself: I'm just a female brony from Arkansas (in the United States.)

How I found Canterlot.com: I was googling MLP-based Role-play sites and stumbled upon this place.

How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: Hilariously enough, my boyfriend is the one who convinced me to watch the first episode. I've been hooked since.

My favourite main cast pony/s: Fluttershy,Rainbow Dash,Twilight Sparkle
I'm afraid I'm not really too good at these introduction posts, so I'm sorry if it's not particularly interesting to read. However, I enjoy chatting with anypony and role-playing is great too. I've been drawing ponies since I first saw the show a little over two years ago,and I'm more than willing to draw anypony for fun.
