I think I'll start off with his design. His mane and coat colors go very nicely together and aren't over the top, so bonus points for that. His color scheme kind of reminds of red velvet cake. And I see you edited the color a bit for the scarf. Much nicer and it really improves the whole presentation and color scheme. I really like the color chosen for it.
I really like the personality you chose for him. I love those kinds of personalities and it isn't often I see one in a MLP OC. You did a great job with giving him more than one dimension and it's very good he has his traits, flaws, and interests. So very good job with the personality.
His backstory is very nice as well. It's a teeny bit tragic, but you don't overdo it in a way that makes it look unrealistic. I like how based the backstory off of his personality and put a large focus on how his traits affected his life. The ending leaves us wondering what happens next which is very good as it means that you have now gotten anyone's interest in your OC's current life.
Overall, a very very good OC that is perfectly made. So I will give you a
Grade: A+

I kind of like her look, though I feel like her coat and boot colors clash a bit with the rest of her. I think that the clothing is a bit much and she would look much better without it. The necklace would signify her royalty just fine on it's own. Other than, look pretty and the mane has a very nice design to it.
I like her personality though it kind of reminds me of Fluttershy; just not that extreme. But what makes her different from Fluttershy is that you added the interest in books and her scholarly side. That is a normal trait and makes her much more easy to relate to. She now seems like a clone of me. So, great job with the personality.
Her backstory is nice and it works, but it's a bit cliche. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just something to point out as I have seen many different movies and books about a princess who is isolated from the rest of the world and wants to go outside. But I think it could work in this situation.
Overall, a nice OC that could benefit from some design modification and a more unique backstory, but still good nonetheless.
Grade: B+
