Name: Shutterbug

Sex: F

Species: Unicorn

Pelt Color: Light green

Mane/Tail Color & Style: Red, with black streaks

Eye Color: Yellow

Cutie Mark: A Polaroid photo

Physique: Normal

Residence: Fillydelphia

Occupation: Photo studio owner

Motivation: Shutterbug's cutie mark represents her love of picture taking.

Likes: Photos, taking pictures of nature, organizing stuff, nature, ladybugs, cleaning, "the simple pleasures of life".

Dislikes: Disorganization, messes, dealing with her cousin's chemical spills.

Character Summary: Shutterbug comes from a fairly small but close-knit family, which mainly consists of her laid-back uncle, her cousin Antimony, and herself. Because they consist of only 3 people, or rather ponies, when someone's in need they make sure to do whatever they can to help pitch in. So when her uncle found out about her job not raking in the green, he simply insisted that they help her out by him sending her money to help pay for supplies whenever necessary, and sending his daughter off to move in with Shutter, to help develop her photos faster.

Ever since she was a filly, Shutterbug has always loved looking at pictures. Be it photos of nature, still life or models€€Âshe loved them all. One day at school, she had to do a presentation on "something you love". Because she loved them so much, she decided to do a presentation on photos. But poor Shutter had no money at the time to buy herself a camera, so instead she built her very first pinhole camera. After building it, trying it out, and taking a look at that very first picture, she knew this was her calling; she knew she wanted to work with photos for the rest of her life.

Shutterbug is a generally easygoing, laid-back and spirited unicorn who lives in Fillydelphia. She owns and runs The Photo Shop, a photography store/studio but, well... despite it being a job centered around the thing she loves most, it isn't a job she seems to be taking very seriously. Some of her negative traits are that she does not like to work very hard nor likes doing most strenuous activities, and is often too 'unmotivated' in doing anything that doesn't interest her.

The relations of the family confuse me a bit. The family is close-knit (not "knitted"), and only has three membersâ€â€Âbut Shutterbug has a father as well. That makes four ponies. You also did not explain who Antimony is or where she came from (yes, I know she has an application, but if you want to mention her in here you should explain a little about her). When did Shutterbug move in with her uncle, why did she do so, and where did she move from?

I do like the bit about the pinhole camera, that's very clever. Nice character, well thought out, just missing a few bits.

Also Fillydelphia is spelled with an E, not an A.

Little curious, does her family have names yet? It helps flesh out a character when you can give a little bit of info about who they grew up around. For example, a character I recently created, Frostbite, grew up with his father constantly moving around Equestria for work while his mother, his sister, and Frostbite stayed in Cloudsdale, his mother working a job in the factories as well. Due to this, him and his sister developed a deep connection because they had to take care of each other while their parents were off working.
