unicorn Kindle Wick [Ready]

[Kindle]

Roleplay Type: WoE
Name: Kindle Wick
Sex: Female
Age: Young Mare

Species: Unicorn
Eye color: Deep blue
Coat: Pale Yellow
Mane/Tail: Mainly orange with some red locks. Medium length, wavy, and usually slightly styled.

Text Color: Azure (#007FFF)
Physique: Average sized for a mare, and fit from lugging around her cart.
Residence: A small house in Ponyville.
Occupation: Kindle makes candles – sculpted, scented, and some with light magical properties (to produce colored flames or to help with relaxation, for example). She takes her wares by cart to the Ponyville Marketplace every day.

Cutie Mark: A red and orange flame (the same shades as her mane). Kindle gained her cutie mark as a young filly when she helped her father relight the forge after a runaway rainstorm caused a leak in the roof and put it out. This incident caused her and her family to assume that she would eventually take over the forge from her father. However, she had difficulty learning the metalworking skills required to run the forge. When working on a side project to make candles that would let her read in the dark for longer, she discovered that what she really wanted to do was start a candle business.

 

Unique Traits: Kindle's magic can be somewhat unpredictable when she is stressed, causing her horn to send out sparks that risk starting fires. Because of this, she has become skilled in completing tasks such as sculpting candles or braiding wicks both with and without magic.

 

History: Kindle Wick was born and raised in Canterlot, but never felt quite at home in the hustle and bustle of the royal city. Her father is a unicorn blacksmith, specializing in creating the decorative swords, shields, and armor used during official ceremonies. Her mother is an interior design pegasus who is well known for her work on some of the palace's rooms. Kindle is very close to her twin brother, Striker, who is studying magic in Canterlot.

 

After finishing school, Kindle worked as a clerk for her father's blacksmith business for about two years, while trying to learn the trade of metalworking. Once she discovered that her true talents lay in candle making, she decided to move to Ponyville and start her own business there. Soon after moving, she bought a house and adopted a small black cat, who she named Coal. She currently works from home, where her workbench takes up most of the living room, and brings her candles by cart to the Ponyville Marketplace. She has been thinking about moving into a larger building so she could have a shop on the first floor and live on the second, but doesn't currently have the funds.

 

Character Personality: Large crowds and loud noises make Kindle anxious, which tends to make her magic act up, which in turn makes her more anxious... but her time in Ponyville has made her calmer and more confident on the whole, and she can handle ponies in small groups fine. Her time working as a clerk has given her good business sense and a head for numbers. She enjoys sitting by the fire and reading books by candlelight, as well as tackling any creative challenges that come her way. While she enjoys spending time alone, she also fears loneliness and desires the comfort of close friends.

Character Summary: Kindle is in general a friendly mare, if a bit anxious. She is eager to continue growing her small candle business and make friends along the way. You can usually find her selling her wares at the Ponyville Marketplace, and her pet cat Coal is never far behind.
