Azure Moon [Ready]

[GoldenSky]

Name: Azure Moon

Gender: Female

Age: Teen

Species: Aerion

Eye colour: Azure eyes.

Character colour: Azure Moon is mostly a white color but her hooves are a bright azure color.

Mane/Tail/Other: Azure Moon's mane and tail are both a bright azure with dark blue highlights. The mane looks very wild and untamed as she doesn't like cutting it nor brushing it. Her tail is strangely always straight despite the fact that she never takes care of it. It is also so long that a small portion of it drags along the ground when Azure Moon walks and it trails along when she flies.

Physique: Azure Moon has multiple scars along her flank where she was once attacked by a group of Timberwolves. They were rather deep gashes at the time and she did her best to take care of the wounds. Unfortunately, since she does not know much about medicines and the like, she wasn't completely sure what to do with the gashes and merely washed them out with water and dressed the wounds with gauze. Azure has a slender figure but she is slightly toned from exercising each day.

Residence: Azure Moon lives along the edge of Ponyville by the Everfree Forest in case she ever needs to duck into the forest to avoid any crowds from seeing her. Ponies don't typically enjoy seeing her as they usually think she is 'bad luck'.

Occupation: Azure Moon just flies around Ponyville looking for ponies who need a bit of luck. She'll bring them small trinkets that grant them a bit of luck and sometimes even a miracle. She is also an amateur alchemist who occasionally repairs other ponies' objects as long as they are small and she isn't seen. She always leaves a note telling the pony to leave a few bits for the repair at an abandoned house, which is always enough to support herself.

Cutie Mark: Her Cutie Mark is a blue crescent moon. It symbolizes how Azure Moon spreads luck as a blue moon is very rare.

Unique Traits:

- Luck Charms: Azure Moon specializes in luck charms and the like, having studied them intensively from foalhood.

- Astronomical Knowledge: She is very knowledgeable in astronomy and is often seen at the top of a hill just staring at the night sky.

- Amateur Alchemist: Azure Moon has also just recently looked into alchemy and because of that, she is only an amateur alchemist who can perform small transmutations such as: make a little toy, repair small objects and transmute something small from the ground. Azure always uses a piece of chalk to draw her transmutation circle.

- Stealth: Because of Azure's slender body, she's rather stealthy and can easily keep a pony from seeing her if she wishes. Of course, Azure tends to get cocky with this and ends up making a mistake, which will lead to another thing until somepony finally notices her and she attempts to make a break for it.

History:

Azure Moon was not always an Aerion. She was once a beautiful and popular Earth Pony who spread luck everywhere by making luck charms. It was her special talent; something she discovered when she was a young filly. She had been playing outside with a few friends when she heard of a pony who had a bit of bad luck lately. Determined to help the pony, Azure began to study a how to create small charms for luck and managed to make one luck bracelet. After she made the bracelet, Azure headed to the pony's house and placed it by the door on a hook when the pony wasn't looking. Almost immediately the pony began to gain better luck and it was then Azure found that it was her calling to spread luck. She was kind and traveled all over Equestria in search of ponies in need. She loved to speak to other ponies and was very compassionate and caring; the exact opposite of what she is like now. This transformation occurred because of a pony's selfish desires. Had that pony not succumbed to those desires, perhaps Azure would still be that happy pony she was before.

It was a warm, sunny day when Azure was asked for help by a unicorn with a purple mane and ice-blue eyes. He asked Azure to give him and his orchards some luck because his farm was currently overrun by bats. Azure immediately went to help him, being the kind pony she was back then, but she did not know that the unicorn was merely leading her to a trap. The unicorn had never liked her; in fact, he hated how carefree and happy she was. The unicorn always thought that Azure had it easy; she had no cares in the world, unlike a hard-working farmer such as himself. And so, when Azure reached the area the unicorn had said was invaded by bats, she was astonished to see a completely bat-free orchard. When she brought this up to the unicorn, the unicorn immediately shot her with a spell that seemed to have made her part-bat.

When Azure saw what she had become, she was distraught and rather hurt by the unicorn for doing such a thing. She tried to tell other ponies about what had transpired but nopony would come near her, let alone believe her. Furthermore, nopony would hear her out so she was not able to find somepony to perhaps turn her back to her original form. Azure decided to just accept this new form as her new self and gave up searching for somepony to help her. Because everypony shut her out, Azure became cold and rather rude. She began to travel for a place where she could be alone and arrived at Ponyville. She found a hotel room there and stayed in Ponyville for some time before settling in. She needed to see how the ponies would react to her presence. At first, ponies would avoid her because she was different and well, a 'bat-pony', but as time went by and they saw how Azure never bothered anyone, and gradually began to try talking to her. Whenever a pony tried to talk to her, they would be put off by Azure's rather cold personality and thus the ponies began to ignore her completely.

Character Personality: Azure Moon is very cold and rude. She dislikes being the center of attention but strangely likes crowds. She's not usually the pony to start a conversation or even talk anypony but she sometimes makes small talk with a pony if they don't run away from her as most ponies do. Azure is also strangely optimistic as she always believes in that small glimmer of hope in the darkest of moments. She never gives up and stays strong, working as hard as she can. If a pony manages to get on her good side and they eventually become 'friends' of some sort, Azure will be much kinder to them and that pony is guaranteed to never be left behind/betrayed by Azure. Of course, becoming Azure's friend is almost impossible as Azure has completely lost any sort of trust she had in others. The only way to gain her trust in you is to gain her respect and stay on her good side.

Character Summary: Azure spends most of her time shut in her home but occasionally she'll leave the house and give some luck to those who need it. Azure often goes out to listen to some music, however, as she does enjoy listening to Octavia's or Vinyl's/DJPon3's music and will sit in during any of their concerts. Whenever Azure has nothing to do at home, she'll sometimes go out to the crowds and sit on a bench just to pony-watch. She'll chuckle at seeing a pony make a mistake or just humiliate themselves (Azure is a bit of a sadist) and she'll secretly watch couples enjoy themselves. Azure, while she won't admit it, likes romance and actually wishes to find that special somepony someday. Because Azure became an Aerion, she refuses to visit her family in Canterlot because she fears that they would never accept her as she is now. Despite her tough demeanor, Azure is very self-conscious about her appearance. She'll get suddenly shy and quiet if someone insults her appearance.

How is this application coming along?

[GoldenSky]

I just need to work on Azure's personality~

EDIT: It's ready for review~

Hi GoldenSky!

I have to admit, this is the first of this 'species' I've ever evaluated, so with that said, here we go!

First, this app appears to be mostly complete, all of the required fields are filled and it is well written. Although his pony has a rather grim origin story, I think that'll be acceptable in CC. However, this app lacks a detailed cutie mark story. How and when did she get her cutie mark? Was it before or after her magical transformation? That would seem to be important information in the life of this pony. Also, even a bat-pony needs a way to support herself, so I think she'll need a set occupation. Even if it's free lance work or something like that, that'll work. On a personal note, I'm curious about her history. After she was 'zapped' by the evil unicorn, did she seek a magical remedy or simply accept her new 'look'?

Nice app, original concept, just needs a bit of fine tuning.

[GoldenSky]

Fixed~

Sorry for the wait. I'm going to step in and say that we can't allow aerions with horns, as that constitutes making up a species, which isn't allowed in Canterlot Chronicles. Your OC either needs to be 100% aerion without a horn, or 100% unicorn without the wings. If this aspect of Azure Moon is super important to you, I'd then suggest simply reclassifying her as a Free For All character.

[GoldenSky]

Alright. The horn is extremely important so can I request that this thread is moved to the Free-For-All Applications section?
