Name: Gypsy Gold
Sex: Male
Age: Young Stallion
Species: Pegasus
Eye colour: Magenta
Coat: Piebald; black & white pinto (based on the Irish cob/Gypsy Vanner horse breed) He has white stockings on all of his legs, an almost all-black face, and a white star. He also has fetlocks over gold hooves.
Mane/Tail: Dark indigo-purple, thick, wild, and long with many tiny gold bells tied into both mane and tail. His mane and tail are both styled in 'pony tails' with cerulean ties. He wears a braid on the right side of his face secured with a cerulean bead and magenta bead. He also wears a single gold hoop earring in his left ear.
Physique: Tall, skinny, lanky
Residence: Cloudsdale (though he travels around a lot, especially to perform in other towns and cities)
Occupation: Street entertainment - slight-of-hoof tricks, singing, juggling, acrobatics, and optical illusions
Cutie Mark: A gold horse shoe and two gold coins; Gypsy learned his purpose when he finished learning from the travelling troupe of performer ponies who taught him their different trades. He enjoyed seeing the wonder and amusement on his audiences' faces that he knew that was what he wanted to do from the moment he began, regardless of how little or much money it made him. His name, Gypsy Gold, became somewhat ironic because although he never had much to call his own and was never very rich in wealth, he found richness in other things. The gold horseshoe of his cutie mark came to represent his wandering vagabond lifestyle that he got accustomed to while the two gold coins symbolized the metaphorical (not actual) wealth and fortune he found in the joy of his gypsy lifestyle. The cutie mark as a whole also references the gypsy saying that "Gypsy gold does not chink and glitter, it gleams in the sun and neighs in the dark," which suggested that gypsies value not gold (symbolized by the gold coins), but equine (symbolized by the horseshoe).
History: Gypsy Gold grew up not knowing his parents. He made friends with a poor unicorn foal who taught him how to steal food since he had no means of earning it himself. As he got older, he began to realize what he was doing was wrong and wanted to stop. He didn't believe that he nor his unicorn friend had any right to take what wasn't theirs no matter how hungry they were or what they were capable of. The unicorn magic his friend used to steal the food just made Gypsy feel that it was all the more unfair and that they shouldn't have stolen just because they could.

 

He left the small town he had grown up in and followed a troupe of travelling performer ponies instead. They taught him many tricks with which he could entertain the masses and make some money for himself. Once he had learned everything they had to teach him, they left him to fend for himself with a few coins and best wishes for a brighter future. From there, Gypsy discovered the city of Cloudsdale where he didn't have to worry about magic or the unicorns he had come to mistrust so deeply.

 

Often, though, his love of roaming and visiting new places calls him to venture to new and interesting parts of Equestria where they haven't yet seen the performances he has to give.
Character Summary: A vagabond and an entertainer, Gypsy's performances include juggling, acrobatics, optical illusions, and slight-of-hoof tricks when he can for the amusement of younger ponies. Another of his favorite things to do is fly low over treetops and spend time in canopies leaping from branch to branch in dense forests.

 

As far as personality, this pegasus pony is friendly and kind to others, especially foals, and is very humble. He tends to be a little shy around girls, especially forward and bold ones. He is usually very chivalrous, though.

 

He's somewhat afraid and untrusting of magic and, by association, unicorns. As he believes, all magic has a price, so he doesn't like the use of it at all. He also dislikes particularly arrogant and haughty ponies.

 

Gypsy Gold is a bottomless pit. He can never seem to get full. However, he's very active which makes him use up a lot of energy and it might be his high metabolism that causes him to be so hungry all the time (like butterflies and hummingbirds, who have to be constantly eating because they're constantly in motion). His meager earnings as a street performer aren't always enough to fill him up, so he's still quite skinny. 

 

 

(He should be taller with longer, thinner legs and a more athletic build than below.)
