Brains

It was a Saturday, and surprisingly she had free time. Usually the doe was busy, running her daycare and taking care of all the fillies and colts. Everypony had decided to keep their foals home today, probably doing something fun and family oriented. She didn't mind though. She had decided that today she would wake up early, make a nice little picnic, and then head out to the park and enjoy her Saturday. It was a perfect day for picnicking. The sun was warming up the earth and the trees above painted the ground with their shadows. It was times like this that she enjoyed living in a city that offered a large, lovely park for ponies to enjoy. She continued walking along the trail, looking at the lovely scenery unfolding around her. It was a little strange though, knowing she was in the comforting shadows of a forest, but she took the time to retrace her steps she'd be surrounded by the towering buildings of a city. It was somewhat amazing at the same time too, though. She continued walking down the trail, doting on the little things that crossed her mind. Who knows, maybe she'd meet somepony? She made more than enough food, so she wouldn't mind sharing.

Doodle looked at the dress for a little longer, holding her front hoof out to see how the sleeves would fall and opening her wings. Listening to the mare, she nodded. [colour=#006400]"I would, actually. Would it be okay for me to shop around a little longer though? I'm trying to put a change in my wardrobe. I can't remember the last time I went shopping and bought more than one dress."[/colour] She laughed at that, recalling her meager wardrobe of two or three dresses. She was about to say something else when a mailpony darted in, delivering a package for a Miss Sapphire something, because she couldn't recall the name of the pony that the package was for. A very frilly and lacy dress had caught the mare's eye, and now she was fawning over it.[colour=#006400] "It is a pretty dress."[/colour] She said, looking at it.[colour=#006400] "it would look lovely on any filly. If I had a younger sister I would probably get it for her."[/colour] She laughed, nodding.

Would it be too late to join? I'd like to join with Ophelia. http://www.canterlot.com/topic/15364-deer-ophelia-ready/

Doodle smiled, nodding. [colour=#006400]"That would be lovely, actually. Sometimes I end up buying clothes and they don't fit how I expected them to fit at all." [/colour]She laughed, gently taking the dress of the mannequin.[colour=#006400] "I'll be right back!"[/colour] She trotted into the changing room, After a few minutes, the pegasus exited the changing room. She looked in a mirror, turning her head in one way or another. [colour=#006400]"What do you think? It fits nicely, I guess. I think the style of my hair right now is just making it look a little funny." [/colour]

Doodle nodded, smiling.[colour=#006400] "Oh, it's fine. I unfortunately don't live here. I'm visiting from Canterlot. I just arrived last night."[/colour] She said, continuing to look at dresses. She wasn't quite sure what she was looking for today. Maybe she'd get a breezy dress, or maybe she'd need a more formal dress...[colour=#006400] "I'm an artist, and I came here because I've been itching to paint scenes around the Crystal Empire. The pictures and paintings I've seen haven't done this grand empire justice though! I don't know how I'll capture the majestic..."[/colour] She caught herself, blushing.[colour=#006400] "Sorry, I tend to go on and on about painting and art in general."[/colour] She looked at one dress that was a soft shade of violet. It was made of a soft material, and the sleeves were see through. It looked comfortable while still maintaining an air of elegance.[colour=#006400] "How much is this dress?"[/colour] Doodle asked, searching for a price tag.

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Ophelia Boulder Sex: Doe Age: Adult Species: Deer Eye colour: Dark brown, almost black. Coat: Mostly white with patches of brown. While it is very thin during the summer months, it gets thicker when it starts getting colder. Mane/Tail: N/A Physique: She has some muscle tone to her while still maintaining a petite figure. Her legs are also shorter than other deer's. Residence: Fillydelphia Occupation: Runs a day care for foals and yearlings Cutie Mark: N/A History: Ophelia was raised in the forests of Stalliongrad by her mother in the small herd known as Boulder, named after her father. While her life in the wilderness composed of leaping through snow drifts, eating the fresh greens of spring, and avoiding trouble at all costs, she felt as if she was missing something. She grew up only knowing a select group of deer because she lived in a herd consisting of only her relatives. She never had any true friends, but this never stopped her from being happy. She mostly played with herself and the other fawns. Because her herd was separated from pony society, she never learned to read or anything like that. Because of this she has improper grammar and has different views on how Equestria and the earth around it functions. Deer, while not forming large herds like buffalo, do have their own culture and legends that are passed down from generation to generation. They may vary from herd to herd, but all have the same meaning. When she was old enough, she left the herd and moved to Stalliongrad where she stayed for a few years. She enjoyed meeting so many ponies every day and earning a living by having a job. While enjoying those aspects and many more of Stalliongrad, she felt as if she didn't quite belong. Everypony was more concerned with work and surviving as opposed to having fun and relaxing.(Which she adored doing.) Of course, she couldn't blame them. She knew from experience how rough winter was and what was needed to make sure you survive it. Plus, she was far too talkative and overly caring compared to any other pony in the city, leading to a few arguments here and there. After living there for a few years and saving her bits, she finally moved to Fillydelphia. There, she felt as if she truly fit in. She blossomed, becoming more friendly and caring than ever.After realizing her strong passion for helping and taking care of anypony, she opened a daycare to take care of foals while their parents are at work. Character Summary: Ophelia is very kind and hard working. She is a bit dense at times, taking ponies too seriously when they use things like sarcasm and figurative language. Despite this, she still manages to have a positive attitude with everything. She is often seen as over protective and a bit too motherly at time but she's great at doing her job. She says she could spend all day with foals, adoring their creative ideas and how friendly they are with everyone else. She tries to do her best when it comes to teaching, trying to get the foals interested in learning. While she can't read very well, she can still read short foal's books which are perfect for the foals she takes care of every day. She also offers to take care of foals for extended periods of time if their parents have to be away for work or other issues. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, singing(although she's a tad flat), and learning new things. She's more of a visual and a hands on learner than a 'read and remember' learner. On the weekends you can find her in the library talking with other ponies and learning new things. Her accent is somewhat similar to that of a pony from Stalliongrad but some words are drawn out more.

Doodle Doo Of All The Gems Doodle's Paint Shop Ophelia

Doodle Doo was absolutely dying from the sheer beauty of the Crystal Empire. The colours, the buildings, even the flora seemed to be bursting with colours. She couldn't wait to see what the sunset would look like, with the Western horizon shining with hues of red and orange and the moon peaking up from the Eastern horizon, bringing with it cooler shades of blue and deep purple. She could go on forever, but decided to focus on the shops around her. There were so many shops similar to those in Canterlot, but the ponies were definitely different. As she trotted along, one shop caught her eye. A boutique? She did need a new dress and maybe some other clothes... She couldn't recall the last time she renewed her wardrobe. She trotted inside, admiring all the accessories and dresses that had already been made.[colour=#006400] "Wow!"[/colour] She said, unable to contain her shock.[colour=#008000] "These are gorgeous!"[/colour] She said, admiring a pale blue dress that was almost white. She could already tell she was going to have trouble just picking one dress. It wouldn't hurt to have two or three, would it?

Of course, feel free to use my art for whatever, as long as you give me credit. I'll get to work on all the requests this weekend, so hopefully it'll be done before Monday.^^'

[This roleplay is currently [colour=#ff0000]OPEN[/colour]] Doodle Doo yawned, waking up. Today was another day in Canterlot. She would get an hour to herself, if she was lucky, and then ponies would begin to stream in. Most of them were coming to pick up their commissions, since it was cheaper to do that than to have it mailed. Today she had to ship out about 25 paintings, all for one family. Some other ponies came in to buy art she offered. Most of it was just of scenes around Equestria, or the animals within it. She also sold art supplies for different things. She sold clay, acrylic paint, water colour, canvases, brushes, all sorts of stuff ponies need for art. She also held lessons, in case any pony wanted to learn how to paint. She jumped out of bed, making her bed before making some tea. Some ponies preferred coffee, but she found it much to harsh for her delicate tastes. While her tea was boiling she pulled out some breakfast pastries that would compliment the minty tea well. When the tea was finished she sipped on it, munching on the pastries. Her apartment functioned as her shop. The bottom floor was for her shop and doing commissions, the second floor was for herself. A tree grew on the second floor, thanks to unicorn magic and the large skylight. On one of the branches hung her pet three-toed sloth, Sim. He watched her, munching slowly on some leaves. [colour=#008000]"Good morning, Sim! How did you sleep?" [/colour]She watched him for a moment before continuing. [colour=#008000]"I slept great, actually. I have to go open shop now. I'll come up during lunch, okay? Bye!" [/colour]She trotted towards the stair steps before fluttering down them, landing on the bottom floor. She opened up the cash register, making sure she had the proper amount in it and putting any extra away in the safe. She made sure the shelves were stocked and the general area was clean. She almost forgot to put out all the paintings for sale, pulling them out and hanging them from hooks on the wall. Happy, she rolled up the curtain and filled over the closed sign so it said OPEN. The window beside her said in white letters. Doodle's Paint Shop Commissions, art, art supplies, and lessons! Something for the wisest painter to the novice! Happy for herself, she waited for the first customer of the day.

[colour=#008000]"Oh, it[/colour][colour=#008000]'s fine. I don't mind talking to ponies unless it's a really big crowd. Then I just get really nervous and stumble and say things I didn't mean to say." [/colour]She said, laughing softly. She turned to Care, nodding. [colour=#008000]"I know, this is going to be wonderful! those rumors seem so silly, though. And just because of a song?"[/colour]

Alright, sweet. I can get it done by that month.^^ Sorry I haven't finished colouring in Scootaloo and Babs, been really tired lately. I think I'll finish it tonight.

I finished the buffalo, it's up on my art blog.:3 I'm 50% done with Scootaloo and Babs, I just need to colour them. I've been painting all day so I'm a little tired.xD

[colour=#008000]"Yeah, I never would have either, but Sim and I get along so well." [/colour]She said, laughing. Then Saffy landed and she waved her hoof at her.[colour=#008000]"Hello, nice to meet you too! I'm just enjoying my last day in Cloudsdale before I have to head back to Canterlot."[/colour]

Doodle nodded, trotting up to the receptionist mare. [colour=#008000]"Hi, could my friends and I get tour?" [/colour]She asked, gesturing to everypony. [colour=#ff0000]"Of course, ma'am. Let me call up a tour guide and we'll get you and your friends started!' [/colour]She said, and she typed something on something behind the counter, and a little microphone popped up. Pressing a button, she spoke into it, [colour=#ff0000]"Ahem, could we have a tour guide come into the lobby? We have a group of pegasi who would like a tour." [/colour]She let go of the button and the microphone disappeared. [colour=#ff0000]"Your tour guide will be here shortly."[/colour] She said with a smile. [colour=#008000]"Thank you!" [/colour]Doodle said, smiling and turning to her friends.

[colour=#008000]"My point exactly. Plus, I can't wait to go back and see Sim. He's my pet sloth." [/colour]She blushed slightly, laughing. Most ponies considered it weird that she had a pet sloth. However she and Sim got along well, enjoying the others lazy company. While she did have a bed, if she had trouble sleeping she would often find a nice branch in Sim's large tree and doze off easily. [colour=#008000]"Yeah, it's sad but I'll definitely come back. My name is Doodle Doo, but you can call me Doodle."[/colour]She smiled and shook his hoof with her hoof that looked as if it was splattered with yellow.

Doodle Doo's face dropped, and she attempted to keep a brave face on. That was...Morbid. And scary.[colour=#008000]"Well, if they give tours I doubt they would do that!" [/colour]She stomped her hoof firmly on the cloud, causing little puffs to float upwards. [colour=#008000]"And if they give tours, why not? I've got a week to waste!"[/colour]

Doodle turned around, seeing a stallion behind her. [colour=#008000]"Oh, hi there!" [/colour]She said with a smile, waving back.[colour=#008000]"This is my last day in Cloudsdale before heading back to Canterlot tonight. Hoping to make the best of it, since I'll have work tomorrow." [/colour]She grinned, feeling slightly antsy and energetic. She fluttered her wings in attempt to get rid of the feeling. [colour=#008000]"I had to attend a party last night, well, it was more like I stood there I painted everything going on. It was fun though!" [/colour]

[i'll join in.^^] Doodle Doo fluttered above the city, doing various stunts in order to stretch her stiff wings. She sang a small song she remembered from her childhood. She was taking a break from painting, which she had been doing for a majority of the night due to a party that the host had requested she paint. As she flew she dove through clouds, laughing as they shattered into tiny little pieces. After busting a few more clouds she slowed down, looking at the city below. She then realized today would be her last day in Cloudsdale, then she would have to head back to Canterlot to do some more painting. She landed on the street, careful not to land on anyone. "Let's make the most of it, shall we!" She said out loud, confidently running a hoof through her mane.

[colour=#008000]"Oh, okay then."[/colour] Doodle said, flapping once before landing beside the pool. She looked at the colours in the pool. [colour=#008000]"Isn't it kind of cool how the colours never mix together? I wonder if it has something to with their molecules [/colour]or [colour=#008000]something like that." [/colour]She looked up at the other stallion who had just arrived.[colour=#008000]"Oh, hello there~"[/colour] She said, waving a hoof at him.. [colour=#008000]"No, we're not. Is everypony scared of this factory or something?"[/colour]She asked, glancing nervously at the tower. If it was just in a song, why was everpony scared of it? That made no sense to her.

Awesome, I've never drawn buffalo before so this shall be fun.>:3

Doodle looked at them both, slightly confused. [colour=#008000]"What's so scary about a rainbow factory?"[/colour] She asked, running a hoof through her main nervously. [colour=#008000]"I mean, it's just a place where rainbows are made, right?"[/colour]

[colour=#008000]"Yeah, that's the thing about beauty. You get used to it after a while."[/colour] She said, quoting a book. [colour=#008000]"I was born in Canterlot, but my family and I moved to Ponyville when I was little. I recently moved back here after I graduated a Music & Arts school in Manehatten. Ponyville is a nice little town, especially if you love meeting other ponies." [/colour]She took another drink of the drink, sighing.[colour=#008000] "Wow~ This tastes fantastic. I'm coming here more often."[/colour]

Doodle smiled. "[colour=#008000]That's a nice name~[/colour]" She said, looking at the hats. "[colour=#008000]I'm not sure where to go first, Cloudsdale is such a lovely, large place. So many places to go. Good thing I have a whole week! Maybe I'll remember what some of the places look like and paint-"[/colour] She paused, shaking her head. [colour=#008000]"Ah, you have to remind me not to talk about painting because that's what I'm here to take a break from." [/colour]She nodded, running a hair through her hoof.[colour=#008000]"You know, I've always wanted to see a rainbow up close, if you know what I mean. I was raised in Ponyville and I only saw them from the ground."[/colour]
