Vintage Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 [ Pony Related Character ]Name: VintageGender: FemaleAge: Young MareSpecies: Earth PonyPelt Color: Dusty, light gray.Mane/Tail Color & Style: Dusty rose pink. Her tail is exceptionally long and tends to drag behind her, while her mane is cropped short, save for a pair of small tails to either side of her head, below her ears.Eye Color: Matching dusty pink.Cutie Mark: A simple, golden pocketwatch with hearts instead of numbers.Physique: Average, maybe slightly short/petite. She has three small, freckle-like dots on either of her cheeks, and her nose color fades to a light gray/white.Residence: FillydelphiaOccupation: Thrift and Antique Shop owner.Motivation: When Vintage got her cutie mark, it was when she'd discovered a trunk of old dresses in the attic of her grandmother's home. Since then she's fallen in love with history and what things from the past can teach those in the future.Likes: Old records, thrifty dresses, summer evenings and pressed flowers.Dislikes: Loud ponies, tea too hot to drink, bug bites, her poor eyesight.Character Summary: Vintage's life thus far hasn't been all that exciting (although she would tell you otherwise.) She came from a pair of simple, well-to-do parents who only wanted the best for their children. Vintage and her older brother went to school as normal ponies do, although Vintage got picked on quite a bit for her unfashionable taste for all things out of date and uncool. When other fillies would wear tasteful, in-season kerchiefs around their neck, she'd go to school wearing a ratty, moth-eaten old scarf that smelled like it'd been sitting in a time capsule for around a century or so. It didn't much bother her, though. She knew what she liked! And what she liked, she collected tons of. Old records, tarnished jewelry, thrifty dresses, knick-knacks and doo-dads from a time long since passed.When she was a tad older, the filly paid a visit to her grandmother's for the day to help the old mare clean her house. Vintage was probably the only one who would ever volunteer willingly to do such a task, but she loved it - the stories her grandmother would tell during the cleaning escapades, a chance to look at all of the neat, old stuff. That particular day was the one that would change Vintage forever. Going through a trunk of her grandmother's old dresses, the filly sighed to herself. She wished that other ponies could be as excited about old things and history as much as she could. Antiques and retro items and old fashions...she wanted to be able to show ponies that they could appreciate the old as well as they could the new, because without history, nopony would be where they are today. That was when it happened.Vintage got her cutie mark.From that moment on, she knew what she was destined to do. What her true calling was in life. She studied hard in school, learning what she could from history and other subjects, graduated and moved out to a small apartment over a vacant shop in Fillydelphia. The latter was rented out by her as well, and now she's got her heart set on selling thrifty and antique goods to whoever else has been bitten by the antique-bug.Reference: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittlePonyTales Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Looks good! This seems like such a neat character.Approved!("She wished that other people could be as excited about old things and history as much as she could. Antiques and retro items and old fashions...she wanted to be able to show people that they could appreciate the old as well as they could the new, because without history, nobody would be where they are today." - You used the word "people" instead of "ponies" twice here.)In the motivation it says she found a trunk of old things, but in the Character Summary it says old dresses. Probably make those both match up to say the same thing about what was in the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
