Origin/Residence: She was born and raised in lower Manehattan.

Occupation: Local thespian, mostly performs musical theater. She also sells paintings as a side job.

Motivation: She actually only started doing theater because she was good at it. As she has always been somewhat of a drama queen anyways, she naturally made a wonderful actress, and knew music just from being part of her family. She used to dream of one day being able to retire from it and become a full time artist, just like her mother, but nowadays she just isn't so sure what she'd like to do. She enjoys both, she just enjoys art a bit more, but acts because it's a fun, easy way for her to make a living. She likes to get into character's heads, thinking about what it is that makes them tick.

Likes: Coffee, her brother's parties, getting noticed, creating art, flirting, singing, music in general, gossip, rainy days, roses

Dislikes: Not being in the spotlight, waiting, anything orange flavoured, early mornings

Character Summary: Fresco is an actress, born and raised in lower Manehattan. Her parents are both unicorns. Her dad is an acoustic engineer for Manehattan Premium Audio Inc., an audio speakers manufacturing company. His name is White Noise. It pays a good amount of bits so they live rather comfortably. Because of the type of work White Noise does, he works long hours and so Fresco never really got to get very close to him, but her brother, Bass Drop, got very interested in music because of him. Thus her mother took care of her and her brother most of the time. Her mum is an up-and-coming painter in the Manehattan artist community. Her name is Chroma Canvas. She paints everything from nature to the synthetic workings of Manehattan. Fresco became interested in art from watching her. Many times, Chroma's art brings out emotion in others, which Fresco found very inspiring. She always tries to bring a reaction out of others in her work, be it good or bad. Many believe that her mother must infuse her art with magic, but Fresco knows better than that.

Cutie Mark Story: As a younger foal, Fresco had always dreamed of becoming an artist, just like her mum. However, try as she might, she was only the second best in her class, and because of her competitive personality, she couldn't help but be bothered by it. Around the time of Nightmare Night, her school was having a play. She helped on set, painting the moon in backdrop. She took her time, making every stroke count, careful to make sure that the colours were blending properly, and carefully adding a subtle glow around it. She put in the Mare in the Moon's face, as closely as she could mimic it's appearance in Equestria's nighttime sky. Her teacher came by, complimenting the piece overall, and how well it was looking and how everypony was just doing so wonderously. She pointed out how the clouds, which the little colt that Fresco was second bested to had made, were looking fabulous. Fresco did her very, very best to keep her temper under control, but inside she was fuming. She watched her teacher, wondering why she hadn't said anything about the moon that she had worked so hard on. The teacher began instructing another student who was in the play, who had been struggling with her role of "Nightmare Moon." The teacher instructed that it needed more emotion, but the shy pony just couldn't seem to do it. Watching the teacher explain and the foal seemingly being in a state of endless confusion, Fresco finally lost it. She could act the scene out so much better than her friend had been with ease, and she knew it. She said the line aloud in her frustration, telling the pony that she needed to say it like that. She then began instructing her friend on how she should move for the part, and what her facial expression should be like, and before she could go on any further, the pony who had been trying to get it just turned around and asked the teacher if she could just trade jobs with Fresco and paint instead. After making sure that the pony really wanted to, the teacher asked if it was okay with Fresco. She looked back at her now finished moon, she decided to give it a shot. She calmed down, and really started enjoying herself. The more she thought about it, the more she seemed to like the idea of being an actress. By the time the school play premiered, she shined well over the others, which she liked. When she got her cutie mark for it, she couldn't help but be a bit surprised, as she'd always expected to be an artist.

Personality: She can be a little bratty when things aren't going her way. Fresco can be a little over dramatic at times, but always has fun. She'll only do things that she enjoys doing, so generally, she's pretty happy go lucky.

Hi! ^^ Nice app going. I like this character a lot, she feels very real and personalized. Also, your use of vocabulary like "thespian" is also a nice touch Still, there are some holes that need some fixing in your application.

1. You explain a lot about her influences. Her families, why she is an actor and the like. What you're lacking in is how those influences affected her life and using that to develop her a little bit more. Was she reluctant to join her family's arty trade? Was she possible feeling obliged to? Why did she act instead of doing another job like being a waitress or working at a store?

In your summary, you are talking more about her family than her. I would suggest explaining her fillyhood, explaining what conditions and how other ponies affected her life. Where she is now in terms of her job, lifestyle, happiness etc.; and where she hopes to go and how she feels about herself. Does she feel good about where she is at, or does she feel she can do better?

2. You are missing a cutiemark story. Explaining how and why they got their cutiemark is important to a character. Did she do awesomely in a play? Was she upstaged and felt bad?

Either add it in the explanation of her fillyhood, or add in a separate section of her app.

I can't wait to see this character finished. And remember to post when your application is revised.
