Coat: His coat is a very light blue. Almost white but it is still blue.

Mane/Tail: His mane is rather short and simple. It goes above his forehead slightly and is a bit jagged as it goes down his neck. His tail is very short. It barely goes past his hind legs. His tail and his mane share two colours. A blue colour and a slightly whitish colour. The colour seems to streak across his mane and it seems to split his tail. Making it look two different colours.

Residence: Ponyville

Occupation: Shady has no job. Student

Cutie Mark: Shady does not have his cutie mark yet

History: Shady was born in Ponyville and life growing up for Shady was great! When he started going to school he met lots of new ponies who are his friends now! He loved going to school. School is also where he became interested in Journalism, which he only does for the school newspaper. He volunteered to work on the staff once and had a blast! So now every time the newspaper staff needs ponies to work on it, Shady is among the first to volunteer.

Shady and his parents got along, and still get along, well. They have no problems with Shady he is a good pony.

Shady pretty much always follows his parents rules and tries to follow in their footsteps. He wants to be successful so he generally tries his best at everything he does. And his parents support him in everything he does. They are hoping high for him since he is a still a colt and since he doesn't have his cutie mark yet. But they are sure he will get his mark soon enough. He is still in school and he loves ever day of it. Since Shady is still a colt he still tends to get nervous around ponies older than him. He doesn't want to make them angry at him or anything but he usually keeps to himself but, when he does speak he is nice. He is coming out of his shell though and speaking more. He has his friends and family beside him to help him as he grows and matures. As for where Shady wants to go from here...he honestly doesn't really know. He doesn't have his cutie mark yet so he knows that he can be whatever he wants to be if he sets his mind to it. But, he also knows that he wants to stick to the things he likes and the things he is naturally good at. He feels that if he does this his cutie mark will appear and he will be ready to go out into the real world! After he matures a bit that is.

Character Summary: Shady has a knack for snapping good photos but, he doesn't take photos constantly or for a living. He does take a few here and there. He excels at working hard and being a dependable pony. That may seem typical for most ponies but when Shady is assigned something to do, he will make sure he gets it done and it looks good. While he isn't a perfectionist he doesn't want everything he does or makes to be looked down on because it wasn't neat or clean so he is a hard working little colt. He often dreams of running his own newspaper making company, which he wants to be the editor in chief and the staff photographer and the pony who runs all of the machines of it. Though he he has never been an editor, he always wanted to try. But that is a dream.

Shady likes working on the newstaff. He loves every minute of it. He really likes when his best friends are on the newspaper staff with him. When he is with his friends the fun never stops for Shady. He loves always telling them jokes and making them laugh and vice versa for his friends.

For hobbies, Shady likes to be with his friends. Really his favorite part of the school day is Recess, since it is the time when he can be outside and enjoy some good games with his great friends! And for games, what games doesn't he and his friends play?

While he can't do much on his own on account of his age, he likes to dream with his friends about what life will be like when they are older Shady is well mannered and nice. He respects his teacher and pretty much everypony older or the same age as him but, he is a young pony so sometimes his naive nature can get the best of him. He is a very kind and sweet pony thatnever wants to hurt anypony's feelings. He wants everypony to be happy. Being around Shady is great. He loves making his friends laugh and have a good time

Shady also enjoys reading, reading anything really. Books, posters, flyers. Pretty much anything that has words on it.

One thing about Shady, that he doesn't like to admit about himself is that he loves math. He just gets the feeling that a pony that loves playing games outside and being active as much as he is shouldn't like math. But whenever they are going over math in class, he can't help but give all of his attention.

Making friends for Shady is easy. He just assumes that everypony is his friend. He feels like everypony should have a few friends. If a pony had no friends then who would they play games with?

Shady still has a small fear of the dark. He usually turns a light on when he goes to bed but he is trying to get over that fear. He knows of a few of his friends that aren't afraid of the dark and he wants to be like them. Another fear of Shady's is, heights. He is afraid of heights and he is glad that he is an earth pony and not a pegasus. Just the thought of flying up there high up in the sky makes Shady a bit queasy, so he generally tries not to think about that.

Hello! I've looked this app over, and there's simply too much of a focus on Shady's journalistic pursuits. WoE characters, especially cast ponies, ought to be well-rounded individuals with diverse quirks, fears, recreational activities, and what not that don't relate to their career goals. Ideally, only one paragraph is needed to discuss Shady's career; everything else should be about about his personality that isn't connected to journalism. ^_^

Okay! I didn't realize how much I put into the journalism thing...I toned it down quite a bit and added a few new fears and such Thanks Bellosh!

Though this app is written kind of in the 'old' style, I still like it!

I approve!
