Character Summary:

For most of his life, Sona was privately tutored by his parents to play the piano. It is what he enjoyed doing, and it is what he knew he would end up doing. Of course, his early prowess of the instrument led to his curiosity in exploring the Organ. Once he came of age to live by himself, he was among a small group of Organists in Canterlot, quickly landing him a job as 'the Wedding Musician'. Performance soon turned into Composition, allowing him to be called upon as one of the composers for the annual Summer Sun Celebration. Sona is generally seen putting Celestia and Luna in very high regard, consistently thanking them for their generosity towards his abilities. According to him, it was they who made his career possible.

The story of his Cutie Mark (Or 'Destiny Mark', as his father referred to it as) showed up like most ponies' did: Happenstance. The Allegro family had gone to see Sona perform in the local ensemble. However, some of the other musicians didn't show up, which would otherwise make for an incomplete concert. Not wanting to disappoint his parents, Sona used his magic to play the missing instruments and the piano at the same time. His concentration on the music allowed him to spell chord shapes in his head, and play accordingly. The concert was a huge success, and Sona was rewarded with quite a bit of praise...as well as a cutie mark.

It is that event that started to catch the attention of those around Canterlot looking for talented musicians to perform for clients. Sona's unique talent to play with his magic and his hooves stirred up enough talk for him to land a job as an Organist for the Canterlot Castle. As the Organ can only be played by Unicorns with adept reading abilities, Sona fit in just fine.

Generally, specific number ages are kind of frowned upon... //^_^\\'... So, I'm thinking you might want to put Male in front of gender... and then Stallion for age... (Since the consensus regarding pony ages is usually foal, colt/filly, and mare/stallion... and you can specify whether they're a young stallion/mare or an elderly stallion/mare, if you want)..

Also, I think you could stand to give a little bit more background on him, specifically regarding how he got his cutie mark and such.

Of course, his early prowess of the instrument led to his curiosity in exploring the Organ. Once he came of age to live by himself, he was the only Organist in Canterlot, quickly landing him a job as 'the Wedding Musician'. Performance soon turned into Composition, allowing him to be called upon as the composer for the annual Summer Sun Celebration. Sona is firmly religious, believing that Alicorns exist to watch over the other ponies, and to make sure that The Maker's will lives on in Equestria. Therefore, he refers to Celestia and Luna as 'Mothers'

We try to avoid explictly refer to religion in the mane RP, so that part will have to be altered. Calling Luna and Calestia "mother" and revering them however would be alright. Also we can't have an app say they are the "only X in city Y" because theat wouldn't be far to other ponies with similar interests who may also be from that city or region. It is fine to say he is "renown" or "Well known" but not the only one. Same with the Summer Sun Celebration, it is fine to say he helped compose for one and the like but it isn't okay to claim exclusive status over an aspect of a canon celebration.

Updated to exclude religious beliefs, and took out all the exclusion. Now he is among a group of ponies who do such things. Thanks, by the way.
