Orange Dart Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 [ Pony Related Character ]Name: Orange DartGender: FemaleAge: MareSpecies: PegasusPelt Color: Light PinkMane/Tail Color & Style: Her mane is long and straight on the crown of her head, but kept short along her neck. One half of her face is usually completely covered by her mane. Her tail is long and straight. The primary color is Orange Peel, with Very Light Amber Yellow streaks.Eye Color: Strong GreenCutie Mark: A red paw print inside a white crossPhysique: Tall, average build. Wings are better suited to strength and sharp turns than to speed.Residence: South of the Nimbusgait LakesOccupation: Animal RehabilitatorMotivation: Dart lives for her work; there's little she loves more than seeing an injured animal healed and returned to the wild. Second to her animals are her books. She has a massive collection that she is constantly adding to. The library is actually one of the few reasons she ever travels to Ponyville.Likes: Birds, books, thunderstorms, swimmingDislikes: Crowds, bees, competition, dressesCharacter Summary: Dart was born in Cloudsdale; both her parents worked the weather machines. She was a mediocre student and was never terribly popular in the highly competitive pegasus community. Once finished with school, she chose to leave Cloudsdale to discover her Cutie Mark, which had still not appeared. She didn't go far, only moving down to the Nimbusgait Lakes. There she built a simple house in the trees along the southern shores.One day she discovered an injured raven near her home. Taking pity on the bird, she brought him home and healed his damaged wing. The raven stayed with her afterwards, so she named him Damian and he became her closest friend.With Damian healthy again, Dart knew she had found her calling. She finally earned her Cutie Mark--a red paw print inside a white cross. She decided she would open an animal rehabilitation center. She traveled to Ponyville, had flyers made, and began posting them around the towns surrounding her treetop home. Whenever ponies discovered sick or injured animals, they brought the critters to Dart.Dart is not at all competitive, and prefers to avoid conflict whenever possible. She does this not because of a lack of confidence, but because she feels it's a waste of time and energy. In fact, she is fairly confident, but not to the point of boastfulness. She considers herself more of a realist; she is aware of her weaknesses, even if she tries to hide them from others. She's polite, but not friendly, and struggles to make friends. She doesn't dislike other ponies, she's just very awkward in social situations.-----This is what I have so far. I originally chose a green feather for her Cutie Mark, but it doesn't make much sense with her occupation. I'm thinking maybe something with bandages, but I'm not the best at Cutie Mark designs, so any help would be greatly appreciated!I'm also thinking of making another character alongside her, a younger brother, if that's permitted.All right, I've picked a new Cutie Mark for her and added some new art.

Teh_Brawler Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 So, she's basically the exact opposite of Fluttershy in everything but occupation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Dart Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 So, she's basically the exact opposite of Fluttershy in everything but occupation. Haha, kind of, I guess! But she focuses just on animal rehabilitation. Fluttershy does all the census and daily care stuff, while Dart only deals with sick or injured animals.I didn't even realize that I was making an anti-Fluttershy.

Skye Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I would like to read a bit more about the 'type' of character she is, that is to say, what it'd be like interacting with her. A little bit about her personality and how she views the world. I like the part about animal rehabilitation, perhaps she could have something to do with the zoo?

That'd be awesome! It would definitely allow for more opportunities to interact with the ponyfolk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Maybe not exactly a zoo, I mean I could see it further away from ponyville possibly like in Fillydelphia. Big city, big sights.But maybe a "sanctuary" idea since it's about rehabilitation for animals? That way they come and go, lots of new and difference animals to work with. c: But not exactly caging them into a zoo-setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctuaries can also double as educational places for people (or in this case, ponies) to tour and learn about different animals and maybe interact with critters they wouldn't normally get to.

Orange Dart Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Changed the artwork and picked a Cutie Mark. I think it's ready to move to the applications board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Quick question.>Physique: Tall, average build. Wings are better suited to agility than speed.Isn't agility and speed the same thing? Did you mean "Better suited to agility than power"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings are better suited to agility than speed.Isn't agility and speed the same thing? Did you mean "Better suited to agility than power"?You are right. Whoops, there I go, not knowing my words again. I actually meant that her wings are more like a hawk--able to turn on a dime and fairly powerful--instead of like a falcon, which is good for speed.Edit: I reworded that second sentence under "Physique" so it's clearer. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
