• Physical Description

  Aurora is an average-sized, but robust young adult male unicorn. His body color is entirely a smooth, medium/light gray. His mane and tail are pure white, also very thick and full as he lives in a rather cold climate. Dark blue eyes. His horn's about average length, maybe ever so slightly longer than normal; and his magic is a light, minty green color. 

  His cutie mark is, you guessed it, an aurora! It symbolizes not only his special magical ability to light up the northern sky with beautiful, whispy, ethereal colors, but also to the light and hope he spreads to other ponies' lives in so many ways. 

• Personality

  Aurora is quiet, cool, and collected, with a sharp mind and quick reflexes. Can seem a bit distant before you get to know him, but he's not at all unfriendly, just shy. Dislikes being the center of attention to an extreme and prefers to be in the background of things, carefully observing everything going on around him. 

  He's very practical and down-to-earth, and likes to use his five senses to explore whatever setting he finds himself to be in. Loves the natural world and knows a good deal about plants, animals, the weather and geology. 

  Even though he doesn't always show it, he cares immensely for all those around him, especially his family and close friends. Always ready to lend a helping hoof to anypony who needs it. Aurora has always had a quick smile and a good sense of humor as well.

  Some of his hobbies include reading (Especially books about nature and magic), practicing magic, cooking, and his favorite pastime-- secret random acts of kindness. As mentioned previously, he loves doing good things for others, but doesn't like the recognition and attention that often comes with it, so he does ponies favors in secret. Often a pony will come home to find that their windows have been washed or a full hot supper has been spread out on their table after a long, tiring day. He feels it but a little service that he can do for all the ponies who work so hard in their own unique and special ways to make Equestria a better place for all.

  As for his connection with his cutie mark-- He has a unique aspect of his magic that allows him to light up the sky with beautiful auroras, bringing a touch of beauty and radiance into the lives of all those that see them. He also just really enjoys doing it, as they're fun to make and each one is different and special.

• Likes

  Magic, doing secret acts of kindness, reading, cooking and food in general, nature/the outdoors, his cloak, nighttime, snow, icicles

• Dislikes

  Large crowds, loud music, nosy/pushy ponies, bad attitudes, breaking things, large messes, cooked fruit (specifically in pie)

• Magic Spells

  Besides the routine magic spells that most talented unicorns can perform, his aurora spell is something quite unique and captivating. They never turn out the same way twice.

• Abilities

  Aurora has mastered the art of walking silently like a cat, even on fairly noisy surfaces like dead leaves.

   Hugging Shiny in return, he smiled and said
    
   "Oh, here a little, there a little. Honestly, quite all over the place!" He laughed.
   "But I'm glad I'm back for a bit. It's good to see you Shiny."

   "Yuh-huh, no problem."
   Aurora smiled at the two of them, enjoying their little bantering.
   He casually glanced up at the clock and then jumped in surprise. "Oh wow, it's been a half hour already? My cl-- uh, I mean, a thing I've got going on must be ready by now. I'd probably best be off to see to it." The unicorn said, standing up.

   "Hmm, seems likely. Anyway, it's very fascinating, whatever the source." Aurora replied.
   "Oh, here, let me get that for you." The stallion chuckled as he wiped Saturn's horn with a washcloth.

   Aurora blinked, amazed. "Wow, so wait-- that was your first time using magic-- like- ever?!" He shook his head in bewilderment. "That's some seriously impressive raw power. Took me months to get that spell down when I was a little colt." He said, still shocked.

   "So you've never tried to?" He asked.
   "Hmm. I wonder if you can."
   The unicorn slid a cookie over towards Venus. "You see this cookie, right?"

   "Cool!" Aurora said, very interested in this small, sentient creature. 
   "So-- can you do magic?" He asked, indicating her horn. "Forgive me for being nosy, I've just got SO many questions! Tell me if it gets too much or too personal, ok?"

   "Well, my grandparents live very close to the forest, and I've seen many a thing in those woods that I didn't even think possible to exist. Also stumbled upon a lot of things I rather wish I hadn't." The unicorn shuddered slightly, mentally reliving some of the memories of encounters with strange animals and plants.
   "So, how'd you and Saturn meet?" He asked curiously, changing the subject.

   Aurora slowly raised his hoof to her paw, still not quite believing what he was seeing. Or hearing, for that matter! 
   "H-hi...." He stammered. 
   "Please excuse my poor manners, I've just-- never seen anything like you before!" He admitted as he blinked in wonder. "Where are you from, originally? Everfree?"

    Aurora jumped slightly in surprise and stared at the cat intently. Then his eyes widened in shock. "Is that-- a- a cat with... with a horn?!" He asked, amazed and slightly dumbfounded.

   Started by Saturn Ring · June 16, 2023

   Saturn Ring was trotting through Ponyville, when she decided to stop and grab a bite to eat at Sugarcube Corner, she opened the door and was greeted by the smells of pastries and the loud jabbering of Pinkie Pie, "Hello Pinkie Pie, nice to see you today!" Saturn said, Pinkie nodded appreciatively and continued jabbering away. Saturn laughed and rolled her eyes at this. Suddenly she spotted another pony sitting nearby, she decided to go say hello.

   Hello there, lovely ponies!
   
   Sometimes, we're not happy with our mane color or our style. Maybe you made a mistake with potions and shifted your color a hue that no longer pleases you. You're invited to relax and sit on the chair, review a magazine of the styles you'd like to have as we work on self care and re-designing the new you!
   
   (This is for those who don't have a pony OC and would like to have one! OR people with old pony OCs who desperately want advice on a re-design. Feel free to reply below to express what you'd like, art references, aesthetics, etc.
   
   Pony types 
   
   Earth Ponies - no wings, no horn, very creative way for finding ways to make these things happen regardless! Think of Pinkie Pie!
   Pegasus - Capable of flight. Sitting on clouds but that is also optional. Some personalities might not even like that despite being Pegasi
   Unicorn - Capable of magic -- or perhaps struggling with it. Regardless of whatever kind of pony you have -- remember that personality is what makes the pony and not vice verse. We tend to be more than just our physical bodies, so if this is your first time creating an OC -- I would recommend thinking of the personality first and then considering how her (or his) design might reflect this in their expressive ways!
   
   But that's not obligated. My own OC was created with me just mixing all of my favorite colors into one giant splat of a mix and going "yep, this is fine." Hahaha but she's come along over the time. So I guess my point is, there's no WRONG way to do this. Just mainly guidelines and suggestions. In the end, it's all about you and what you feel properly expresses you! So feel free to step into Silky's Beauty Spa for a new OC or a new re-design. 
   
   
   
   Cutie Marks -- my absolute FAVORITE thing for discussion and art concepts. 
   
   Hair Designs - Feel free to post any references or ideas from ponies/people you're inspired by.
   
   Literally, anything that sparks your creativity is encouraged to add here for discussion of your new lovely 'sona or casual RP pony.
   
   This thread was in the making for quite a while but I kept postponing due to real life matters. But that's not excuse to keep you waiting! So, I'm making the thread so long as you're patient and understand I may not be as active as I'd like to be but I will get back to it as soon as I can <3 Please be patient with me.
   
   This thread will be RP based as well as OOC for social interaction to inspire art as well as creativity.
