[Vintage]

[ Pony Related Character ]

Name: Winter Solstice

Sex: Female

Age: Older filly.

Species: Pegasus

Pelt Color: Blue

Mane/Tail Color & Style: Straight and long. Appears as if she hasn't had either trimmed for quite some time. Both are comprised of a combination of pastel blue and white.

Eye Color: Blue

Cutie Mark: A snowflake in the shape of a heart.

Physique: A tad on the small side.

Residence: Cloudsdale

Occupation: Works during the winter as a weather pony, helping with snowfalls, ice and chilly temperatures.

Motivation: Since she was a young filly, Solstice has adored frost and ice and the delicate, intricate patterns that it can cast over windows, or water, or trees. She longed to be able to help with the chilly weather during winter, especially learning how to create those lovely patterns in the ice. She received her cutie mark when she was able to successfully achieve her dream - casting the face of a pond on her own with pretty, elaborate swirls and patterns in ice.

Likes: Starry nights, snow, ice on trees, comfy scarves and boots, and music - particularly softer melodies than loud, rowdy ones.

Dislikes: Hot days, frostbite, off-key singers and bugs.

Character Summary: To start, it's easy to say that Winter Solstice is a gentle type of individual. Rather passive and generally kind to those she meets, she's a fairly easy pony to get along with. Her greatest strength, however, has more than once ended up being her downfall. She's a pony who's eager to please, and hates to say no or disappoint anyone. Thus, she tends to push herself too far at times.

Solstice had truly found what she wanted to do with her life, first and foremost, after her first visit to the world below Cloudsdale. Her mother (a weather pony herself at the time) took the little foal with her while working through her duties one day. Solstice was astounded by how delicate and beautiful the world could be in the winter. How fragile everything was. The stillness of the plains as they lay slumbering beneath a fresh blanket of white snow. Where so many longed for the burst of life spring had to offer, she was one of the ponies who anticipated winter every year, when things became fragile and pristine and white.

Receiving her cutie mark was a momentous occasion, an occurrence that happened while training under her mother's wing. Twirling through the sky above a small pond, beating her wings to twist the chilled air beneath her, just enough to freeze the face of the pond in a carefully crafted mural of swirls and curves. The elation of it all! How glorious it felt to lend a hoof in the frosty season of winter.

Not long after she'd gotten a bit older, the filly joined Cloudsdale's 'Winter Division' of weather ponies. She has been helping them happily ever since. When she isn't working on frost patterns or blanketing the ground in snow, Winter Solstice spends her time working on her singing voice, practicing various tunes and melodies, and even writing some of her own as a side-hobby.

Oooo I simply adore this character! Both in design and lovely background!

Could we see a little of her temperment? Is she calm? Is she a hothead? I'd love to know.

I'm glad you like her!

Added a bit to her summary on her personality, and fixed up a few nitpicky little grammatical errors I saw.
