By Cocodrillo

• September 29, 2012




Age: Teen

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: She´s very thin in general. Her mane is short and shaggy, just like her tail. Both are berry purple, with darker strands. Her round eyes with long lashes are brightly pink-purple. The coat is light cyan. Her horn is spirally coiled.

Cutie Mark: A cyan heart with a starting flames on one side.<br />The cyan colour of the heart represents the ice, but also a heart, that feels "blue". <br />The flames represents her ability to set a fire on a heart like that and make both, the ice and the blue feeling melt and fade away.

Personality: Friendly and warm. She likes ponies in general and is very polite, but ironically, she´s very shy what makes her socially awkward. She was born very weak (in health) and non-assertive, what makes her non-independant.<br />She´s also very patient, and has a tendency to be very naive.<br />Certain impulses can cause her go mentally unstable.

Backstory: Born weak and shy, her childhood wasn´t much of fun. She was often sick, and also skinny, tough she ate a lot. <br />The Ice family is a (strictly) unicorn family, characterized with a spirally coiled horn, which makes the family unique. Like all the family members, Melting Ice was also born with a horn like this. It has been said that the spirally coiled horns contains pure power, which makes the owner a great wizard. Melting´s parents made her practice magic since she was born - her horn was the most coiled, so she was expected to be the most powerful. Her magic in general wasn´t the best at all. The only spells she could do were Ice and Fire spells. But the health issues and constant training make her often blackout, which started to darken her mind. She became mentally unstable, which caused her either extremely happy, aggresive or suicidal - or all three.<br />Having a strict parents, she often spent a time with her grandma - a kind, old mare. She always told her that the greatest magic of all is friendship. Melting Ice loved her grandmother most of all the ponies in the world, so she promised she´ll do her best to make a plenty of friends.<br />Her schoolmates didn´t agree with this promise. They didn´t act like there was a pony like this at all - they ignored her. It was because of her horn and blood - the Ice family wasn´t very popular because they were somehow different and so called proud. Melting Ice found out that it´s hard for her to force herself to speak to other ponies. She didn´t even want to. There was some block that didn´t want her to make friends. She gave up and accepted the fact she´ll never be powerful, because she can´t conquere the greatest magic of all - the friendship.<br />Knowing this fact, her days became dark, full of despair and craziness in her mind. Her parents pushed her to train more and more. So she did, but she lost her will to achieve something and to live. And she lost everything in the moment when her grandma breathed out for the last time and left her alone in this dark world.<br />She left her home with a crazy spasmodic smile, tears falling from her eyes. She entered the Everfree forest, planning her last minute on this world in her mad head. Passing the trees, she saw something pale falling down. She hid herself behind the tree, and recognized it´s a pegasus.<br />The Pegasus flew away and landed a few seconds later, all burned. But continued. Melting Ice stared and her, at her light mane flowing in the air, her pale skin, getting red by the sunlight, and her neverending will. It all lasted for hours. Then the pegasus lended again, all dirty and burned. <br />Melting Ice decided to go away but there was something telling her to stay. The pegasus was sitting on the ground exhausted, with tears in her eyes, but seemed like she wants to fly again. Melting Ice realized there´s a green bow on the ground, then realized the pegasus is looking for something. So she grabbed the bow and slowly walked to her.<br />The pegasus heard the smallest noise Melting Ice did, and flew in the air with a fighting pose and resolve in her eyes. "Eh.. hey.. I won´t hurt you." said Melting Ice. "I bet so." said the pegasus and then realized she´s holding her bow. She flew down, grabbed it from her and jumped away. "So.. why are you here?" said the pegasus. "Oh.. nevermind." "Are you following me? No one dares to go there." "No, no I just.." said Melting Ice, but it was too late. The Pegasus was already leaving. "Please, don´t go." said Melting Ice, and she didn´t know why and how she said that. "Say something beautiful!" "What the.." the pegasus turned, her eyes brightening up and staring at Melting Ice. "And the elephants.." "No, a half of an elephant!" "And so the hippos" "And rabbitortoises!" "And glasses! Cellardoor!" "Science!" "No, not the science. Ponities!" "Why do you always have to be like that?!" "What do you mean, always? We know each other for like.." "Forever and always. We´ve always known each other, right? From our dreams." "We are so perfect." "Immaculate!"<br /><br />... Melting Ice used her magic to cool the burnings of Coco, a year younger pegasus. Then, she something around her flank. There was a huge cutie mark.
