Give a name to my OC:
 

6/10 It's nice and it looks like the art is pretty well done, but it'd be nice if it weren't a photo. I know you might not have a scanner, but, well, it's just my opinion.

My OC in the realm of Equestria Girls. I used a base, but I can't, for the life of me, find where it is. Here's the image, but I'm pretty sure it's not the one I used. Anyway, it was a .png and I did this as a vector. So I did trace over it, but then again, I didn't have an actual vector base, so it took a little time. I don't think I made any major errors. I used a lot of clips in this one, for whatever reason. I've come to using vector art quite frequently for my own artwork. I think I've gotten a lot of practice doing it and I think I've improved with it a lot.

My only real gripe with this is that I made the back of the hair to narrow in the upper part, so it kinda looks weird. Other than that, I think I'm cool with it.

Anyway, here it is:

My OC as reference. Also, a vector I altered some time ago:

Yes. Everybody loves Pokémon games. Even the bad ones.

Am I the only one who likes Garbodor?

Two hundred eighty-eight thousand two hundred seventy-nine.

Probably. I tend to wander in and out at will, so that kind of commitment would be difficult for me to stick to. I'll be, like, really, really into the forums for, like, the span of a month or two and then I won't show up for another 3 months. So, that, alone, would make me useless. Not to mention the fact that I have practically no filter on the internet, so I sometimes forget that not everything goes on a site like this. I'd probably end up not doing much of anything, thinking everything, basically, is okay. So, yeah, I wouldn't make a good mod. I'm not even a good mod on the stuff that I own. Yeah...

Are you bringing sexy back?

Clover Heart started out as just an avatar. Mostly, she's remained as such. I think I started in Pony Creator and just developed her more and more from there, aesthetically, anyway. Green's my favorite color so that's what Clover ended up being. My username on this forum is duchess_clover, and for a while that was her name until I thought she, as well as I, needed a more pony-sounding name. Her cutie mark is 4 hearts in the shape of a clover, so Clover Heart made sense.

As for the duchess thing and the alicorn thing... Yeah, so, apparently, I'm bad at seeing patterns and I was probably the last person to realize that Celestia and Luna were the only alicorns in existence (at the time.) Another part of it was that before MLP: FiM, I'd always thought that unicorns did have wings. That was my image of them. So in my mind, I was simply completing the unicorn aesthetic. I think after I realized that the only alicorns were royalty, I felt compelled to give her a royal status. Duchess was a title that I'd used in a number of other usernames, so it seemed to work to make her a duchess. It just sorta came together like that. About people claiming things like "If your OC is an alicorn, it's like you're saying you're better than everyone else." Not really. First, anybody can make an alicorn OC. There's no rule against it. Second, I don't know about other people, but I really just stumbled into making my OC an alicorn. I didn't really know what I was doing and I wasn't intending to write about her. And, well, now the image is just cemented into my mind. I think it'd be weird to change her, now. If she were a non-alicorn race of pony, though, she would be a unicorn.

As for story, which developed after the fact and I never bothered to really write but just sorta have all up in my head... I'd heard that a lot of stories about alicorns have them turning out very Mary Sueish. I wanted that not to happen, so I gave her a cutie mark and ability that she never wanted and bestowed her with responsibilities that she didn't ask for. She wanted to be a singer, but her magic of happiness and the responsibilities it entails keeps her from fulfilling that dream. As such, despite being the Duchess of Happiness, she herself is very depressed. One day, she's tired of being a duchess and just decides to shirk her responsibilities and run away. Impending doom that I haven't worked all the details out about yet begins to creep in as she leaves and she's the only one with the ability to stop it. Along the way, she meets a gelding unicorn named Midknight Courage, who wanted to be a member of the royal guard and despite passing all the physical and mental exams was denied for not being in peak physical condition as a gelding. Clover Heart asks him to come along for protection. I was also thinking of having her meet two other characters. A stallion pegasus named Thundersnow whose personality and backstory I haven't quite worked out, yet. And there was another I was thinking of I have a sketch of her, it's a unicorn but I think an earth pony would be more fitting but I don't really know how to work it out. Anyway, a bunch of stuff happens. They come back to the duchy where Clover Heart's from to find it, I dunno, destroyed or something. They go and find the source and something about CH's magic being enhanced with her talent of singing, and the thingy gets destroyed and her dream is fulfilled while still allowing her to carry out her royal duties. Yeah, I know it's missing a lot of details. It's a basic outline, not all the details and it's not finished. I don't know if it ever will be finished because I don't know if I really care to bother with it, honestly. Anyway, that's just what developed in my head.

Again, she's mostly just an avatar, anyway, so... yeah...

I'm originally from Michigan, about a half hour, hour outside of Detroit.

I currently live outside of Nagoya, Japan.

I'd rather drown. If I had to die, I'd want it to be as painless as possible. While the pain and suffering that goes with drowning would be terrible, it wouldn't compare with weeks of agony as my body eats itself.

I'm a 27-year-old college graduate with a BA in East Asian Studies. I haven't been in school for 5 years. Unless you count the school where I teach.

To me, breakfast is the first meal you eat when you wake up. The meals of the day, to me, are decided by your course through the day, not what time you eat. Case in point, if you woke up around 9 PM and had a meal, then had a meal at around 1 AM and then again at 7 AM, what would you even call that 1 AM meal? To me, it would be lunch because it's a meal you had after being awake for a number of hours that you'd had after your first meal, but not close to your bed time. But if it's determined by what time you eat, your first meal would be considered dinner, your last meal would be breakfast and your middle meal wouldn't be called anything. That doesn't make sense to me. It's based on when you get up. I sometimes get up around 10, but sometimes around 2, depending on my work schedule. I always have toast, yogurt and fruit around a half hour after I get up. The timing with when I wake up is the same. Thus what I'm craving and how I process it is the same. The food itself is the same. So why should the name change? That's my breakfast.

I also think the number of hours you've been up counts as well. If you get up at 8 AM and don't eat until 2, that 2:00 meal is what I'd consider lunch. You skipped breakfast and went to lunch. Here's where it gets a bit vague, so you could call it either if your first meal is around 10 or 11 ish. I think it depends on what you eat and under what circumstances. So it's a little up in the air for these types of situations. But for the most part, I feel like it's related to your sleep schedule.

An old dog of mine used to dig her pillow. I think she may have had OCD. She'd dig her pillow, like, nonstop. The cover for it got so torn up. She also used to pull all the stuffing out of her toys.

My parents' dog, now, has this thing where she'll howl, but she gets too into it and gets completely disoriented when she howls too much. It's really funny. She's also afraid of weird things. Like us coughing or sneezing. She'll leave if we do any of these things. Even if we just clear our throats, she leaves. She also sticks her tongue out a lot. I worry, sometimes, that it'll dry out.

We have a leopard gecko. I wouldn't call it a quirk, but I think it's cool that she's made one single corner of her tank into her bathroom and always goes there. As opposed to any other reptiles we've had, who just go anywhere. She's so smart!

"Dude" is practically a crutch word for me. I can probably count the number of times I've ever said "bro" on one hand. Maybe it's cuz I grew up in the 90's, but dude just feels more natural to me. I think it's because it doubles as an interjection better than bro does. Like, in the same way you can throw "man" into a sentence, you can put "dude" there, but not always "bro." Just from my perspective, anyway.

I'm a YouTuber. https://www.youtube.com/user/Zexonyte

I do Let's Plays. I don't make pony-related content, but I did play an MLP game, once. Depending on what it is, I'd be willing to do a collab, though I'm not sure if you really need my skill set, lol. I can sorta sing. I wrote that intro and outro on the video. And if you like my voice, I guess I can maybe do some voice acting or announcing.

Irritating. Very, very irritating. And honestly, I don't understand the "cute" thing at all. They're so fat and alien-looking. They're like mutant people. They just look weird. More than that, though, I'd say they're gross. They're perpetually sticky. Even when they're clean, they're still sticky. Why are they always sticky?! It's disturbing D:
