Character Summary:

Star Trust was born in the mystic land of Canterlot, home of the Princesses that rule Equestria. She always felt like it was a special place, since royalty lived in there, and that there was something truly magical in that place. As a young filly, she spent her days playing in the outside, collecting plants, feathers, even lizzard tails! In her room, she had entire books filled with her collections, and with detailed descriptions of every single item. Her parents were simple villagers, hard workers, but they felt extremely proud of their young daughter that just couldn't stop learning. The environment that surrounded her was simply something that fascinated young Star Trust, and she felt like she was just a small little dot in that universe of magic.

However, the small size of her horn didn't allow her to succeed that well. She had always been told that young unicorn foals had low sources of magic in their tiny horns. However, she kept telling those ponies that she was old enough to use magic already. It was not true, since every single spell she had learned from her unicorn mother didn't seem to work at all. That made her sad, but at the same time made her try even more and more. That took several years, until one night that would change her life forever.

In one of the warm Summer nights of her short life, Star Trust escaped from her room through one of the small windows in it, determined to show everypony she had the magic they said she didn't posess. She headed to the nearby fields, yet far enough so that the glow of her horn wouldn't be noticed. Repeating every single step she had been taught, she attempted to cast several spells and use her magic to lift objects, twit them, rip them off the ground, and many more actions. But they either worked the wrong way, or didn't even work. When she was about to give up, something glew brightly in the night skies. Star Trust lifted her head at the sight of such a thing, and almost as soon as she did so, the bright object started to draw closer, and closer, and closer until it fell with a dashing speed by her side. She ducked and curled herself in a ball, until it was all over. When she trotted back to the spot, _ found a tiny star that had stopped glowing. Her horn glew intensely for a moment, and then everything was gone. Star Trust took that tiny little star with her, and her cutie mark appeared: a glowing star inside of a jar. That meant the world for the young filly, that took the tiny star with her.

She had realized that that little star gave her the heart to try harder and concentrate on her magic that made it work, and over the years Star Trust became better and better at casting her spells. She developped an even bigger interest about magic, specially medieval one. And she also discovered that there were creatures that differed from ponies in many ways, which made her curiosity grow a lot. As soon as she had a few years of training, she headed alone to the woods looking for those creatures. She grew with a certain like for them, and became an expert.

Star Trust now lives in Canterlot, in her own house, always collecting new specimens of animal remains and certain plants to add to her albums. Some of them had been already reviewed by a few other lovers of such subjects, and she has been paid for such important and precious informations. When she desired to own a house of herself, her parents helped her, offering her some money so that she could have a stable research. She was hired several times to research for fearsome creatures, since some of the researchers she knows in Canterlot are quite afraid of facing such creatures. Soome ponies call her crazy for facing such creatures, and that has costed Star some wounds, hence the bandages she has on her legs. But since she is so determined, she never gave up. Her main goal in life is to know as much as possible about foreign creatures and ancient magic (using self experience as reference of course), so that she can provide other ponies enough information about the creatures they might face in their paths.

Towards other ponies, she is a little bit shy, all because she is used to be looked at with suspicious looks. She often talks to herself, her mind never stopping to wonder about all the things that surround her. She can blush quite easily, and giggles a lot to hide her shyness since she doesn't have that many social skills.

I love this app it's adorable little story, but I believe that there are a few things missing. What is her life goal(s)? How does she pay for living in a house by herself? Does she have someone to watch over her seeing that she's a filly. Is she is paid for track and research monsters and record the information of a zoological society or in books for interested parties? You also tell us how she was when she was younger but what is her personality like now that she's older?

While this is a cute story and I do love the character, the only concern I have is the use of the star on a necklace as a possible magical artifact. You've suggested that since she started wearing it, her magic works better. I think I'd feel more comfortable if it was more clear that it gave her the heart to try harder and concentrate on her magic that made it work, not necessarily the power or magic of the star itself as a magical object, a psychological rather than magical artifact thing.
