Character Summary: Unlike his size would suggest, Drifting Veil is kind of shy among ponies he doesn't know. However, once he gets to know somepony, he fully embraces them in his heart, showing kindness and empathy and will never shy away to stand by them in their darker hours.

However, he's very sensitive to personal emotional stress.

Origins: Born into a family of Germane artisans, Drifting Veil very quickly picked up a variety of crafting skills, showing promise in several of them. His parents, how were always very supportive of him, tried to get him to pick up one of their own crafts, and step into their hoofsteps, so to speak, but as he grew older, his true passion became more and more obvious. Theater!

Drifting Veil joined a drama club in his time at school, and helped put on many plays, sometimes taking the role of a director, sometimes building props and backdrops, even helping sewing costumes, but most of all he took care to keep everything in balance, so that all ponies that worked on the play had a good time. After an especially strain production for the annual school theater festival, he earned his cutie mark for that, a golden scale, slightly tipped to one side.

Although very expensive, his parents allowed him to enroll in one of the prestigious Art colleges of Hufenheim, which he finished reasonably well. However, the theater scene in Germaney was very competitive at the time, and it was a very frustrating life for Drifting Veil, who was seriously stifled by the air of arrogance and entitlement among the more successful actors. He just wanted to share his love for theater.

One day, a golden opportunity opened up when he was offered the chance to travel and live in the Heartlands by an unknown benefactor, who sponsored him a place to stay in Hoofington, along with a some bits to help him over the initial bump.

Drifting Veil found a job at a local carpenter, Lymestone, a very talented pegasus involved in many local housing projects. However, nothing could keep him away from his true passion.

With some help from Lymestone, he organizes quarterly plays, traveling to the different cities of the Heartland that don't have the luxury of an own theater. Since he always tries to get as many locals as possible involved, and attendance is free, the plays are usually huge successes.

Drifting Veil's magical capabilities are mostly focused on telekinesis, to work more effectively with all kinds of tools for his different crafts.

The only snag I've hit here, is the name of the town he comes from. You spell it 'Hufenheim' which I recognize as a more Germanic spelling. However, on the map it -is- spelled 'Hoofenheim'. Correcting this but adding something like 'Origin: Hoofenheim (Locally called Hufenheim by its residents)' would be more appropriate for this. If you could make that change, I think that'd just about do it!

Also, please be sure to verify the relationship with Quicklime and if you could, have her make a post about it here.
