Character Summary: Twist is a troublemaker, no doubt about it. He and his friends have been causing a mild ruckus around Solstice Heights and Canterlot ever since they learned of, and bought, their first skateboards. Ollie's parents are the only ones in the group that don't disprove of it...it helped him get his cutie mark, after all. Still, not many approve of the three wild friends skating around, grinding rails and doing tricks off of stairs, interrupting people's daily lives.

He'd been a blank flank for a while, one of the last from his class. He'd exhausted every possibility...his two friends had their own cutie marks, unrelated to skateboarding but just the same, they had them. Then one day, while they were out skateboarding, Ollie fell. Now this wasn't a simple fall from the board thing...it was a ten foot fall from the upper walkway of a park toward the fountain below. But somehow, Ollie not only managed to turn disaster into something good, he did it with style. He got in a good Impossible to get the board righted again, and landed on the edge of the fountain, grinding around it before hoping off onto the path.

His friends were first awestruck, then congratulated him on both the amazing trick and the cutie mark.

After that, he was a little depressed though. What could Ollie do with a skateboarding cutie mark? The answer came when he saw a very other skateboarders one day, and realized that they were professionals, and got paid good bits to do this. It made Ollie smile...now he had a plan. Once he was old enough, and had enough money, he'd start up his own skateboarding shop. Until then, he skates, having incredible amounts of fun at the same time.

I'd say the only issue with names like Rodney Manen or Tony Hoof is you still have the element of a "human name" being involved. Personally, I think tricks would work a bit better. Something like Kickflip McTwist sounds a bit more fitting for a pony than Rodney or Tony.

You know, there's a big skiing community in the proposed village of Marelia.

Great to hear. I may come up for occasion snowboarding Although Ollie is more skateboarder first. Canterlot being a big city, I figure there'd be lots of places to skate.

Set to Final, ready for evaluation.
