Name: Three Strings (Nickname: WoodWind)

Sex: Male

Age: Stallion

Species: Unicorn

Eye Color: Lavender

Coat Color: Light blue

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Light green

Physique: A scholarly, prim, slim, but not exactly athletic build.

Cutie Mark: A Flute

Origin/Residence: Canterlot

Occupation:Musician (specializes in Flutes)

Motivation: He is motivated to bring happiness to others through calming flute music. He also has a small desire to rebel against his family. due to their insistence on playing string instruments

Likes: (optional) Flutes and other similar instruments/woodwinds; classical music, some modern music.

Dislikes: (optional) Loud metal music or loud techno; uptight musicians.

Character Summary: Family: His family comes from a long line of string musicians - from violinists, to guitarists, to other string instruments - who tend to stick to traditions. So, when he wanted to be a flutist after hearing a great flutist play his best piece, his family forbade it. He took up the flute anyway, saving his money and buying his own flute, then teaching himself to play it. When he began to play it all the time at home, his family begrudgingly admitted that he was good at it.

Cutie mark story: When Three Strings was younger, rebelled against his family by going to the local park and playing calming flute or jaunty tunes, occasionally getting some bits. One day at this park, he saw an arguing couple and played a calming song, soothing their anger.

Flaws: Other than his family issues, Three Strings also loves luxury due to some ritzy gigs he plays, but has the musician's curse of being dirt poor. So, when he talks fancy, he sounds like a snob or a poser to some.

Personality: He prefers calm music, telling of his personality: he is a calm pony with a jovial personality, and at times he tries and sometimes fails to be a charmer. He also dreams to be a great flutist for the Canterlot orchestra, or at least become famous amongst Canterlot nobles.

Whilst the pony himself sounds like a fine addition, I think the one niggling thing about this application is perhaps it feels a little lacking in detail.

Let's see if I can help pick a couple of points for you to expand upon so you can perhaps help flesh him out a little more! :smirk:

A:

Family: his family comes from a long line of String Musicians from Violinists, to guitarists, to other string instruments who tend to stick to traditions so when he wanted to be a Flutist his family forbid it but he did it anyway.

Perhaps here you could highlight perhaps how he got started on the flute - where did he first hear it, and when did he realise it was something he wanted to play?

Why did his parents feel so obligated to stop him from playing the flute, and how was it that he rebelled?

Personality: he prefers calm music which kind of tell his personality he is a calm pony with a jovial personality and at times try's to be a charmer too but it sometimes doesn't work.

Here, there's potential to highlight what he dreams/hopes to achieve in the future, and how he may try and achieve these aims!

Of course, if you can think of anything else to expand upon, go right ahead and give it a try - I look forward to seeing your progress! ;-)

The application looks generally complete, although it suffers from some grammatical errors that make it difficult to read or understand, and thus a bit hard to evaluate, especially in regards to understanding correctly the story you are attempting to tell.

Here is the major part of your application with corrections marked in red:

Again I would strongly recommend a friend to proofread or use a spelling/grammar checker for your application. There is nothing wrong with asking for help here; I do myself. :)
