My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Pinkie Pie How did you find MLP Forums?: Google
How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I watched the show and loved the message!
I am a storyteller and I find the whole MLP:FiM idea highly intriguing. I have created a Personal OC for the series but am having difficulty figuring out what her cutie mark would be. Her backstory is, from my perspective, interesting if, perhaps, unoriginal.
Stormy Night was born in Philly-delphia to parents who were both overachievers. Both of them got their cutie marks early on as foals. Her younger sister, Starry Night, also got her cutie mark very early in her life. Stormy, however, was the only foal in her class to graduate from school without a cutie mark on her flank even though her grades were very high and was teased ruthlessly by many of her classmates as a result. Her parents were both shocked and disappointed and consulted a pediatrician to find out if there was something wrong with her. The pediatrician told them the same thing that ponies told the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Typically, the cutie mark will appear when the young pony discovers what makes him or her special. Being the kind of ponies they were, they engaged several different life coaches and similar kinds of ponies to try and help Stormy figure out what made her special. It didn't work. Mainly because she felt so self-conscious about failing to find it in school, like her classmates did. She didn't know then that she was unable to discover her cutie mark because she was trying to please her parents and what few friends she had rather than trying to understand what made her special.
Eventually, a good friend suggested that what she needed most was to leave Philly-delphia and get out on her own. Shortly after following this advice, she realized that the thing that made her special was her amazing ability to tell stories (I don't mean writing stories, I mean relating the stories verbally). It was then that her cutie mark finally appeared. My trouble is this... What should her cutie mark be? My daughter has suggested a book and a feather pen with a lightning shaped shaft, but I'm not sure that this is appropriate. Any thoughts, my bronies and pegasisters?
