Age: 15

Gender: Female

Species: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: Curly Swirl doesn't have a cutie mark at the moment.

Personality: Curly Swirl has an interesting personality to go with her uniqueness. She is introverted, and often steers away from crowds, although this can change depending on her mood. She is very awkward, and has a hard time fitting in with everyone else, mostly due to the fact that she is very insecure about not having a cutie mark yet. She often tries to hide this fact by putting her wing over her flank so it cannot be seen.<br /><br />She isn't a very good flier, and isn't the brightest. Although she has these faults, she has a huge heart, and will stay loyal to the very end. She is a bit insecure about herself, and may let others control her a bit at times, although if it goes too far she will stand up for herself. She was teased as a filly, and still is, so this also adds to the fact of why she doesn't have that many friends... especially because of having no cutie mark. Her main purpose in life at the moment is to find out where her destiny lies, and she is traveling far and wide and doing everything she can to find out what that is. Her goal at the moment is to try as many new things as she can - everything from scuba diving to juggling! Although it isn't easy for her, she is doing the best she can... and even though she hasn't found her destiny (yet) she won't give up. She is shy when you first meet her, but once she comes out of her shell she can be rather bubbly. She suffers with depression and anxiety, and often is feeling blue (no pun intended), although she tries to reassure herself that she isn't. She enjoys animals, and loves to take care of them (especially growing up on a farm and all). She can be a bit clumsy at times, mostly because of how tall she is, but also because its just her personality. She often finds herself knocking things over on accident. She often feels as if she doesn't amount to anything and is just in the background, isn't pretty, and won't ever find her destiny... although she never gives up hope at the same time.

Backstory: Curly Swirl was an only child born in her small family of three, and grew up on a small farm near Manehatten. Although her family wasn't very wealthy, she lived a happy childhood on her farm, although she didn't have many friends... even at school. Most of them would tease her for being a 'blank flank', and the few that were nice to her either eventually moved away or grew apart from her. <br /><br />The ponies also thought she was weird from the way she acted... she would try to throw random parties out of nowhere and for the silliest reasons (such as the time when a classmate of hers lost his tooth, in an attempt to become friends with him! It failed miserably). She had been an average student, although she excelled in writing, which is one of her main hobbies. <br /><br />Although this was great for her, the other ponies weren't too keen on all of the attention she was getting in the classroom with that subject. They spread rumors about her, which made Curly feel even more alone. She eventually gave up trying to become friends with anyone, as they all told her too (because she was 'wierd' and 'different' from everypony else). When she eventually finished school, she had a rather large tragedy involving two strangers showing up at her house. <br /><br />They claimed that they were looking for the "perfect pony to be their fashion model" for some company called La Scents. Although Curly was a bit unsure about this, her parents convinced her to go, so she did... and in the end it all turned out just to be some scam, which scarred her for life. She was now wary of everyone, and although she still wanted friends, this experience made her almost not want to trust anyone again for what they did to her family.She told her parents that she wanted to go out into the big, wide world and leave their small farm, as she was ready to.<br /><br /> Although she was sad to leave her family, and they weren't keen on the idea of letting their 'baby girl' go (especially as she was only fourteen, but she was tired of school... she wanted to go out and see the world, and since she had been so ahead of her class with her writing skills, her teacher allowed her to finish school early), she left with a faithful heart that she would finally find her place in this world - her destiny.
