Gearbox

By Ampharos

• December 28, 2014

Age: 20-ish (Generally; Can be changed)

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Gearbox has a very light grey coat (to the point where most would say it's white) and a purple mane and tail. She's smaller than the average mare of her age, and her mane is cut quite short. Her eyes are the same purple as her mane. Gear's snout is quite round, even for a mare, and is often described as "cute" by others.<br /><br />She usually wears a light pink scarf that was given to her by her brother.

Cutie Mark: A box of tools. Rather self-explanatory

Personality: Gearbox is a bit more reserved around other ponies, but she isn't necessarily shy. Once she realizes a pony is friendly, or at least not super hostile, she's quite friendly herself. She naturally talks quietly and she stutters occasionally, a habit she's been trying to break with progressive success. When she gets flustered, embarrassed, confused, surprised, etc, her stutter becomes very noticeable.<br /><br />While working, she can become overly engrossed and very distant/oblivious to things going on around her. She's very passionate about her machines and gets easily offended in regards to them. Gear herself has a decent amount of willpower, but say junk about her machines... You won't have a happy mare.<br /><br />It should be mentioned Gearbox is a Lesbian and knows it and is proud of it. While she doesn't openly express her sexuality, she won't hide it in the slightest if the subject is brought up. <br />Gear can be a bit awkward sometimes, and being in the presence of a pretty mare certainly won't help that, but she tries to be as "normal" as possible.<br /><br />She's also a pretty smart cookie.

Backstory: Gearbox was born in Ponyville to a simple family of herself, her parents, and her older brother. Her life was filled with little to no tragedy, and the life she lived might be considered "average" or "normal". Her brother joined the royal guard once he was of age, and Gearbox discovered her passion for machines when she was pretty young. She studied a type of magic called "technomancy" so she could better work with machines and devices. She works as a freelance inventor in Ponyville, specializing in no particular field of devices. <br /><br />WIP will elaborate at a later time
