Age: 21

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: A pony with a very boyish charm about him. His face structure is mostly rounded rather than sturdy and stubby like that of a developing stallion. His eyes are a deep shade of electric blue for irises. He has an acceptable set of teeth, and his feathery mane is golden and brushed back. The other defining detail that sets Divine apart from other ponies (even Pegasi in this case) is his wings. His body is deformed along the right flank, making him have both wings on the right side of his body, with the second growing just above the first. The top wing is shorter and less wide (slightly) than the second wing it overlaps.<br /><br />The details of Divine's body is mostly overlapped by his custom clothing. His choice of clothes are usually larger than most as he uses cape-like tops in order to hide the first top wing and slightly cover the second upon the right when drawn in. His favoring choice is a deep red cotton thick sweater that he keeps unzipped. The white feathers of his wings makes it look like a part of his outfit upon the right, like a royal cloak. He pairs this with a set of white leather knee pads on his front legs. With the red hearts printed upon them, they bare the insignia of hearts.<br /><br />Defining marks and accessories include his white leather choker that goes around his neck. At the center a small chain hangs with a red jewel heart enclosed in the center by a gold trimming. His tail hairs is combed back and hangs enough almost to touch the ground by a couple of inches. His horse shoes are golden plated with color and embalmed with sparkling gold glitter for a polished finish.

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark on his right flank that has a heart with a golden halo ring above the top of it from a perspective as if seen from above. The orientation, picture, and form has a lot of meaning about Divine Heart in general.<br /><br />The Halo represents divinity, as if clergy. As Divine's family usually have roles in Equestrian Religion and belief towards the sisters, Divine has a role in "believing" as well as "faith" when it comes to carrying out his actions. This "faith" usually embodies as sense of unity, as if everyone's feelings are connected to represent the whole.<br /><br />In this light, the overall Cutie Mark represents how everyone's skills and abilities can be channeled through Divine. He does not excel at one skill in particular, or even has the ability to do things on his own, but he can emulate and understand almost anyone's ability to enhance his own living. The best way to understand someone is to walk in their shoes or to do things with your own hands.<br /><br />Although, Divine is weak in this regard, because a lack of bonds or no understanding limits him. He may be at a lost to trying to compete with someone who has developed a natural talent for something all their life, or he may even not be able to emulate someone because he lacks any understanding at all.<br /><br />In other words, the more bonds, the more power. The less bonds, the more powerless.

Personality: How else can you define Divine other than being just as he is implied to be: a blank slate.<br /><br />Divine is a pegasus that's mostly uncomfortable around others. He is not very skilled to be good at one particular thing to say he is a natural, but he does not realize what he is good at is learning skills from others. The only weakness to this is that, at that moment, he is a blank flank that is way past due. Because of this, he is very lacking of confidence in what he is meant to be or if he will ever find what he is meant to be. Also, because of his disfigured growth of having his wings on his right side, he is even more recluse since others question if he is even a pony for that matter!<br /><br />Regardless, he still wants to make friends...<br /><br />Because of this, Divine has learned how to fend for himself and help others. He has made us of his deformed body in order to defend and even benefit him better in unique ways. Even if these techniques he learned are useful, he ends up still feeling disdain towards his form because of what he is and how he uses his special techniques. Every wingbeat, sweep of his double wings to protect himself, and boost to kick off makes him feel even less like a pony and more of a freak. However, opinion can change when he gets the gist of what his true skill really is.<br /><br />When it comes to other ponies, Divine is mostly withdrawn. He steps out of the light to try to help others, but that itself is common. The rare use of his socializing comes from when it's minor: asking for directions, wanting to know information, or something as small as ordering anything from a tavern. Ultimately, he limits his interactions as less as possible because of him not wanting to draw attention to himself out of fear of not being accepted. <br /><br />How Divine feels about his skills and lack of Cutie Mark is another thing. As he is blank, he doesn't excel at anything in particular, making him very much a wild card (literally his skill). He doesn't like the ability too much, and doesn't acknowledge it, causing for his cutie mark to be absent. However, he still takes full advantage of his ability to learn. He does not even realize that he loves it as he takes to books and other ponies learning a small trait or trick from them.<br /><br />But with him limiting these experiences, thus, limiting his chances of him discovering his hidden destiny.

Backstory: In Tarot, the number twelve represents the change for renewal in the face of crisis...<br /><br />This is Divine's life. As a pegasus that is unable to assume the role of a normal Pegasi, he is reduced to being a "Fallen Pegasus." Long across Equestria, rooting from his home of Rainbow Falls, Divine is a pegasus pony that was born with two right wings and no left. To this great dilemma, he is able to traverse clouds, but only if he can reach them. Ever since he was young, there was teasing and rumors that suggested that he or his parents done something wrong for him to born in such a way. All false, but cruel rumors would not die so easily, especially among ponies who gossiped.<br /><br />As Divine Heart grew, his parents Steady Heart and Candy Heart, noticed that not even his cutie mark shown itself. This made the rumors worse as Divine continued to grow steadily with little to no interaction with the others around him. Limiting himself to his mother and father, Divine had kept to following his religious family as they taught him stories of the two sisters, myths of equestria, and continued to teach him about "Miracles" and "Hope." To that degree, Divine believed fully that he would become strong and his destiny would show itself one day as he would grow.<br /><br />Ten years later...<br /><br />Even at age eighteen, Divine still had no cutie mark, and his own hope in the stories he heard dwindled. His parents were concerned for him, but could not reach him with their stories no more as he pretty much closed himself away from their teachings to not gain false hope. His reputation at the schools had become more recluse than warm. Divine kept to himself and resorted to his poetic bursts of writings, known as pathos, for comfort. Eventually, he graduated, thrusting himself in a new setting...and even more discomfort.<br /><br />Divine, now in Canterlot, resorts to trying to learn in a University. His studies in Psychology, Cutie Mark research, and Magical Manifestations are his main interest as he spends time closed off and trying to learn about what it takes to manifest cutie marks, what are their true purpose beyond just traits and abilities, and how the thoughts and personalities of ponies affect them. Ridiculed all his life, however, he does not fully grasp what it means to manifest that power, but he will learn as his research takes him to learning about others, and letting others know of him and his unique character.<br />
