Rambling Puppet

Yes, but it doesn't change much about what I said. She might not be a mary sue, I'm still just shrugging my shoulders at her until I see a real backstory. Until then I'm not really impressed, not your fault, I just have high standards. Okay, she has a lover who's a witch, how did that happen? Equestria has witches, how does that work or is she more of an apothecary like Zecora? Does her lover turning into a stone monster put a strain on their relationship? Then there's the more general question of what does her cutie mark mean? How did she get it? Where in Equestria does she live? What are her motivations, her job? Night terrors, from what? All these little questions and more leap to my mind when I see her, and when you say you haven't got a full or even breif background for her, I just see a work in progress, and can't really comment on her quality. I may sound brutally honest, but that's because I'd rather be honest than just say 'OH WOW 10/10!'

Well, then I'd have to give you a 4-5 on the backstory. it's better than the usual 'prince darkblood' character, and you thankfully didn't make her black, or an alicorn. But I don't believe in giving points for not being bottom of the barrel. I also tend to focus on character over pictures. If I saw this description for a fanfic about your characters I wouldn't click on the link. It seems sophomoric, that you're trying to make up for a lack of originality by giving your OC a lot of quirks and traits. Maybe you have a great story behind her, a journey how she is what she is, but at a glance all I see is a goth OC that is in danger of being called a mary sue. I'm just being honest here, not trying to be rude.

I like her design, but I'm curious what her cutie mark does. Really, if I was just going by design, the look of the picture, I'd say 8 or 9 out of 10. I tend to focus on a OC's backstory, so I'm curious about what she would do to get a collar and bone cutie mark. Does she train dogs?

Aww, she's adorable! =3 I've always wanted to see deer in MLP, well, them and other races. We've seen a few donkeys and griffins, but we didn't get any glimpse to their culture. As for a suggestion? I'm thinking they're very nature oriented. Holly Sprig?

Oh boy... the problem is that 90% of the cartoon villains I know don't make it up past a 6 on my 1-10 evil scale. Mostly due to what's allowed to be shown to kids. Most of them come off as goofy, to having very base desires. They rarely succeed, and thus they don't feel like a threat. That said, from my childhood I do have one suggestion that feels like he surpassed most of those complaints: Megabyte.

Either or Laughter or Kindness, hard to say.

Nearsighted from years and years of TV, video games, and reading.

I don't have a picture of him, nor do I know how useful he will be but here's my OC: Name: Willow Wisp Age: 24 Gender: Male Race: Unicorn Appearance: Willow is a slender, underweight stallion of average height. He has a brown-dark brown mane and tail that he keeps cut short but rarely combs. He has navy blue eyes, and his coat is the dark green of moss, and his cutie mark is a long style lantern with a burning candle in it. Personality: Willow is a quiet, well meaning stallion from a lower income family. He tends to be withdrawn and tight lipped, preferring to think rather than to speak. He lacks confidence, largely due to his weak magic, and from the pestering from his brothers about his meager profession. Although introverted, Willow is a realist, and tries to offer aide to those he feels won't just take his help for granted. He dreams of someday becoming magically strong enough to attend a magic school, illusion spells especially fascinate him. Backstory: Willow comes from a mixed family, his father being a unicorn (Silverheart) and mother an Earth Pony (Duststorm). Due to this he grew up amid a more down to earth family than most Unicorns tend to have. His life in the lower part of Manehatten wasn't always wonderful, but he considers his childhood a happy one. His older brothers (both earth ponies, Redcap & Pinecone) tended to pick on him for being smaller and weaker. It was when Willow got a job helping the lamplighters of Manehatten that he found he liked chasing the darkness of the night out of the city streets that he earned his cutie mark. His brothers teased him, saying that he was doomed to have a mediocre job for the rest of his life. Willow snapped at them, finally telling his brothers off before moving to Canterlot. Thanks to some kind neighbors, friends he had made in school, Willow currently lives in a small apartment that had been remodeled after an incident involving a grease fire. Willow now works as a lamplighter, still saving every bit he can so he can attend a good magic school, while trying to be a good pony. Special Talent: Willow's cutie mark is an iron lamp with a lit candle inside. It represents both talent for light spells, as well as his love of lanterns and candles. While not a talented magician, he can produce light spells which help him unerringly find his way in the dark. Other skills: He's a very good listener, and knows the streets of Canterlot and Manehatten very well. His biggest talents are always light spells, ranging from lighting candles to producing bright flashes of blinding light. His twice daily trek around the city keeps him fit, and for a unicorn he's considered physically fit, but magically he's puny and doesn't know many other spells. Odd things: His preferred holiday is Nightmare night, although he is kind of a wimp about being scared. Sometimes falls prey to depression due to overthinking his lot in life. Has poor self image and doesn't think any mare would be interested in him, so he doesn't even attempt to hit on girls. Could spend all day cracking and eating nuts. Willow also prefers to use his hooves and mouth rather than use magic to manipulate things. He has quiet disgust for Sapphire Shores' music, and tries to leave when he hears it.

Sleepy. A little lonely and mildly depressed from a lack of self-confidence.

Well, warhammer was just an example. It could be her ending up in some other series, Halo for example, but it could be something made up entirely and have the same effect. I just used the Enginseer idea because they're what I know, it would involve radical alterations of Rarity's person in order to survive (not just mental, but physical too, as Enginseers are cyborgs). This could almost be seen as PTSD, but I think it hits worst with Rarity more so than the other 5. Applejack's very levelheaded, but her stubborness can get in the way. Pinkie's... Pinkie. Twilight almost always seems on the edge of a nervous breakdown, too easy. Fluttershy? Also too easy. Rainbow might actually fit in with a military situation. But Rarity? Her personality is set so distant from violence, and she tries to act so prim and proper it really would be the hardest on her. It's that journey that I'd like to see. Cue 20 pages of her whining, but then comes the point where she learns to overcome adversity. =3

Norwegian Elkhounds. I had one as a kid and she was the friendliest dogs I ever had.

Depends on how much you want, but she's pretty reasonable. She just finished her latest exam so she'll have spare time to draw. I'd suggest leaving her a request and she'll contact you.

If I were to suggest an artist, I'd reffer you to my friend Owlsome on DA. http://0wlsome.deviantart.com/ Here's an example of her pony artwork: http://0wlsome.deviantart.com/art/REF-Melon-Fizz-331564673

Like I would know if it was wrong or not. Thanks. =3

Yuffie from FF7 was my first I think. Meru from Legend of Dragoon and Dot Matrix from Reboot.

My OC is named Willow Wisp. =3

One of my personal plot bunnies was if Surprise from G1 had ended up becoming Celestia, and of course comes the journey of +1000 years that turned the white Pinkie into a wise, serene ruler. Of course, that comes with its own plot hiccups. Luna is the big one, as I'm not sure how she'd fit into Surprise's backstory. Another plot idea is set in medias res. Rarity had been spirited away by a rampant spell of Twilight's (an often used plot device, but whatevs) for a number a year and is assumed dead. She returns, but isn't the Rarity they remember. She had been transported to the world of Warhammer 40k, spesifically the forge world of Mars and thankfully she had ended up in a human body. After spending half a decade among the humans, and the Adeptus Mechanicus, Rarity has returned as Equestria's first Enginseer. The real meat of this fic would be Rarity trying to pick of the peices of her life after seeing so much violence and feeling that dressmaking is frivolous. She had made weapons to defend innocent worlds, armor for fearless warriors who battled unforgiving horrors, and all without her magic. She would have returned to Equestria feeling incredibly smaller, without a greater purpose and maybe not the same creative spark she had before, and has to reinvent herself.
