A single, green leaf, a representation of a simple, bland, but enjoyable form of life and vegetation. Many have mistaken it for a herb or basil leaf of some sort. Many have also believed that because of this, his special talent includes brewery or gardening. True it is that he is fascinated by potions and likes planting various seeds, the reason as to why his cutie mark is a leaf is because of his great appreciation for nature, and because of it's simplicity. A single leaf is it's own organism, detached from the tree it grew on, but striving on wherever the wind takes it. Because of this, Earl likes to travel a lot, examine ancient ruins and visit tourist spots near forests, waterfalls, and whatnot. Although he speaks with dignity, he's not afraid to get a little dirty or take a leap to get where he wants to.

He earned this particular cutie mark when he was a filly on a field trip outside of Ponyville. They were, supposedly, taking a stroll through whitetail woods when Earl got lost. He was shy and ultimately timid as a young pony, so he was very frightened when he couldn't find his way through the woods. Uneasily, he started trekking a small hill, which eventually turned a bit rocky. If he got to high ground, though, he'd probably be able to find the group. Not only did he spot a group of students and his teacher trotting away a few trees away, he was greeted by an amazing view. Although he hadn't climbed the tallest mountain in Equestria, the sunset was position perfectly, the nature surrounding whitetail woods were lodged together in a beautiful blotch of green and white. He decided that this couldn't be all of it - there had to be more places like this out there. And therefore, he vowed to explore each and every one of them, and prove to the world that he could do it if he tried. The minute he saw the breathtaking view, the leaf formed, and Earl Grey got his cutie mark.

He also really likes tea.

Origin/Residence:

Earl Grey was originally a citizen of Ponyville, living with his older sister. He later moved to Canterlot, where he furthered his studies. His older sister moved to Manehattan after graduating, and now has a job as a manager of a company. Earl Grey is now a resident of Canterlot, occupying a roomy apartment near the school he goes to.

Occupation:

Student of an advanced magic, architecture, and geology boarding school for young adult ponies

Part time jobs ( Janitor, Paper / Errand Colt, Salesman )

Motivation:

Earl Grey used to be just how everyone described him - boring and empty. They often took that impression of him because of his bottomless eyes that lacked light reflection and flare. Because of all of these rumors, he started to talk less with his own friends and shy away from others. He couldn't see the point in trying to approach them if they thought he was creepy. Sometimes, this problem still consists. However, he is no longer timid around those he is intricate with and has more confidence in what he does. He dreams about - well, nothing in particular is a good way to put it. He wants to travel, and to explore all of Equestria, but he has no predetermined location or method in which he wants to do so. So until then, Earl develops his ability in magic and studies. More often than not, his past times include his part time jobs, which keep a steady flow of income coming in daily. When he has the time, he plays the cello, and drinks tea. Other hobbies include taking trots ( walks ) around various parks, reading, cooking, and cleaning.

Character Summary:

History – Earl's early life consisted of living for a short time in Ponyville with his family before his parents moved, and the white unicorn lived with his older sister until he himself was old enough to head to Canterlot for advancement in his studies. Not much has affected his life as a pony, unless you count in his extreme lack of contact with society. He spent most of his time outside, but not approaching people, and still follows the basic routine today.

Parents – Earl's parents travel often due to work, so more often than not, they have trouble visiting Earl and his sister in Ponyville. His father is Treasure Map, a geologist who serves under a large company at Canterlot, and his mother is known as Who are they, and what did they do? Where are they now, how often do they see their child, are they proud of them? Things like that.

Flaws – The biggest motif that has bothered Earl has and is the concept of emptiness. Since he was born with eyes that don't receive light reflection, he appears more creepy and sullen. Because of that, he sometimes lacks the confidence to approach others, in fear of being ran away from or abandoned. Other than that, he often times shows signs of social inactivity, due to not talking nor, well, socializing very often, and may sometimes have trouble defining how another pony feels depending on what they say or do. Now, Earl has come to terms with himself, and thinks more of it as his social problems having no business interrupting having a normal, pleasant life. So, that's how he goes about it. Of course, he doesn't have a problem around family nor his sister in Ponyville. Because of overcoming his depression, he's learned to enjoy many hobbies and past times, and has come to focus more on what interests him.

Looking good so far, even though there's not much. How's it going?

[3arlGrey]

I have a good idea of what his background would be like, but I'm stuck on trying to tie everything -

his cutie mark, his history, and his personality. I've got a good idea though, and the final product should

be out in a few days.

[MyLittlePonyTales]

How is this Application coming along?

[MyLittlePonyTales]

Any progress?

[3arlGrey]

Still needs work, but I've decided to make it finished to get some feedback.

Really length isn't important, it is content that matters, and you did fine in that department. Although you don't explain why his eyes are like the way they are, I think this is fine as a little mystery going in is a good thing. It can remain a mystery, or be explained in RP, whatever you choose to do.

The only error that stuck out was this sentence, "He was shy and ultimately shy as a young pony, so he was very frightened when he couldn't find his way through the woods". I think you meant to say something different than "shy and ultimately shy". If you wouldn't mind fixing that one grammar mistake, that be great. Other than that it is just fine, so I am going to go ahead and stamp trusting that one minor technical error will be fixed.

For Great Justice!

[3arlGrey]

Fixed.
