Roleplay Type: WoE

Name: Crystal Dawn

Sex: Female

Age: Young Mare

Species: Pegasus

Eye colour: A vibrant dandelion yellow at the top half of her eyes, but darkens into sunset orange at the bottom half.

Coat: Her glossy coat is somewhat of a cream hue that turns into a dusty rose pink around her hooves. She often wears paint splattered aprons that's pockets are filled with small jars of paint. It's also not uncommon to see a paintbrush tucked behind her ear.

Mane/Tail: Crystal's mane and tail are the exact same shade as her hooves. When left to hang, her mane is slightly frizzy but mostly straight, barely brushing the middle of her legs. However, she prefers to keep her mane in a messy bun most of the time, as it might interfere in her work otherwise. Loose strands dangle around her face, and are paint tipped in spite of her carefulness.

Physique: Crystal is a small pony- something to do with genes, her mother told her once. She's slightly smaller than average but her wings are of the normal size.

Residence: Cloudsdale

Occupation: Cloud Painter. She paints the clouds of sunrise and sunset to give them colour.

Cutie Mark: A half painted cloud with a small paintbrush sticking out of it.

When Crystal was younger, she absolutely loved to paint. However, not many ponies agreed. Those that did only did it to spare her feelings. Even she herself knew she wasn't a good artist. Her work being nothing more than a subtly coloured background with nothing as the main focus. It was as if she just threw random paints on the canvas and called it art. Still, she enjoyed what she did and never let anypony discourage her. Her parents encouraged her interest and even went so far as to buy good quality brushes and paints for her to use.

There was an art fair in school, where a renowned artist, Magenta, would be the judge. Crystal was set on competing for the top prize. However, it just so happened that she had ran out of fine canvas to paint on- and it was the only type that her colours blended perfectly on. Her father, away from Cloudsdale on business, heard the news and called in a favour from his friend who was a unicorn. With the help from her father, the unicorn did a complex spell that changed a simple cloud into the canvas- which was rushed back to Cloudsdale. Crystal was ecstatic! She set about working on her piece, and she knew it would be the greatest piece of art she had ever made.

During the fair day, she proudly presented her work to Magenta to be judged. However, to her mortification, the spell wore off just then and the canvas changed back into a cloud. The colours, however, remained. The result would be a small cloud stained by many different complimentary hues so that it very much resembled the clouds in a sunset horizon. She didn't win first prize, but she did receive many compliments, for 'making an exemplary and beautiful piece through unorthodox methods.' It was the fact that her work had been appreciated, and only added to the beauty of something there- instead of creating beauty. From that day on, she never painted on canvas again, only clouds. Also, did I forget to mention that she got her cutie mark?

History: Crystal grew up in Cloudsdale with her parents, Thunder Eye and Angel Rain. She was an only foal and received much love and adoration, though her parents did take pains to not spoil her rotten. She also seemed to have an inclination as a foal to wander off the edges of clouds, so she picked up flying pretty quickly. Always curious, she somehow managed to slip away from her parents whenever they took her out, if something caught her fancy. That was how she met her childhood friend, Kindle, a young Pegasus colt with an affinity for lightning storms. Together they got into much more mischief over the years, through primary school, secondary school, and university.

Talking about school, she absolutely loved it, although sometimes she did accidentally get into trouble. Being a fast (but forgetful) learner, she managed to get some A's with a handful of B' s. She was also involved in the planning of many art related activities later on due to her love for the subject, and went on to study Art in university. In their last year of university Kindle, who was by now her stallionfriend, proposed to her. She immediately agreed, also knocking over several jars of paint in the process.

Currently, she has a small job at the Cloudsdale Factory painting clouds and plans to marry Kindle sometime near Hearth's Warming Eve.

Character Summary: Crystal is energetic. There is no better word to describe her. She undertakes any task, whether they be easy or challenging with her utmost effort and enthusiasm. An optimist, she prefers to look on the brighter side of life no matter how dire the situation may be. She's constantly moving and finds it hard to stay still for long, and that had posed as a problem in her schooling years. In fact, the only time she can stay in the same spot for more than a half hour is when she's painting.

It is very rare to see Crystal sad, or even faintly perturbed for long. She's quick to forgive and forget, to live and let live. Easily trusting, she can seem quite näive at times though that isn't the case. She's fast to learn from her mistakes, which aren't very few, and to amend the problem as soon as possible. Crystal cannot stand to see any mistakes uncorrected, no matter how small, much to the chargin and exasperation of her friends. It's very easy to warm up to Crystal, but tolerating her energy and enthusiasm can be quite tiring. In fact, the only pony to ever come close in all her experiences would be Kindle. Sometimes she gets swept up in her own excitement and forgets about other ponies, seeming insensitive or uncaring, but will stop to wait if somepony points it out. Crystal can't bear to see anypony close to her upset, and will often do her best to cheer them up and help them out.

She enjoys quick flies around Cloudsdale, whether it be raining or shining. Other pastimes include dancing (though she's not particularly good at it), shaping clouds and attempting to give Kindle a hooficure.
