Professor Annabella

Err... Her appereance isn't there. If someone could just slide this picture in of her:

Ah, my fault, I missed one thing: "Anna was at least 8"

 

I should have caught that before, I apologise. Other than that this looks flawless, and I'll put it through for second approval once that age is dealt with.

... it's fixed

Hi Delta,

 

As detailed by Khajiit above, you no longer have to worry about the 'Belle' name. With that put aside, we can continue addressing the other points. The only things which still need tweaking are:

• College: It still pops up multiple times below your first mention of 'Canterlot Academy of Science and Arts'. Easiest way to address that is to simply Control-F and change each instance of it to either CASA, or to 'the Academy' if you thing it's getting repetitive.
• Zeus's name; if you reword the explanation to something along the lines of "like the mythological Pegasus hero who shot thunderbolts from his wings," it would seem far more in fitting with canon as an expanded reference. (The Pegasi culture pre Hearth's Warming seemed to be modelled after Ancient Greece, so it works quite well. I'm ashamed I didn't think of this sooner.)
• Smoking: I didn't pick this one up earlier. We've seen no evidence of cigarettes in MLP:FiM, and in keeping with this the smoking reference should go. Alcohol is fine, as we HAVE seen cider and wine.

Cris Cross seems way more ponylike spelled that way, so I'm happy. =D

 

This should be good to go once those changes are implemented.

I have fixed all these things

 

The surname 'Belle'

I'm not sure if you are aware, but the family name 'Belle' is commonly considered to be the family name of Rarity and Sweetie Belle. This is more 'fanon' than 'canon', but it's a widely accepted one, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the writers use it at some future point in the show. Annabella's family cannot share that last name. It would be considered to be a pre-existing cast relationship with Rarity's extended family.

That's highly arguable. I mean, it's kinda odd to think Sweetie's best friends go around calling her by her first and last name. Twilight's friends don't do that, and we know her first and last name, the only time we hear someone use both her names is to add dramatic effect for a villain saying it, somepony calling on her formally, or when a princess talks to her (Which, are both formal ponies). I never heard it being fanon, the only time I heard Rarity Belle, is by a author on FiMFiction. There was a discussion on the wiki about it, and most agree that Sweetie Belle is just a two part name like Mary-Lou. 

Why am I arguing this so much? Because it's her name. Anna's name has been with her since I joined the fandom, and it hasn't changed through every roleplay I've been in. It has a history behind it, and is the most long running thing with the character. She has no relation to Rarity, and even if I did change these things, and was accepted, I wouldn't use her surname at all. If she wanted to talk about her family, she'd probably just say 'My Family'

• Chris is a really odd name for a pony. Can you give him a name that's less commonly human?

My mistake, that's supposed to be Cris Cross... You know, like criscrossing lines, he's a hoofball player (American football), and on plays and running routes, the players usually cross their paths. Still, it's a clever way to slip in a human name, but this is, again, something I don't want to change. He's an OC too, and changing his name completely is something I wouldn't prefer

However, everything else I will change
