Skittles

By Cha-Cha-Charlie

• August 1, 2015




Age: 16

Gender: Female

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: A changeling who takes on the appearance of a cubby speckled pegasus. Tan coat with cream speckles, bright pink eyes and a brown and rainbow mane. She's overweight and kinda lazy, so I wouldn't expect her to be thin any time soon.

Cutie Mark: Currently a Blank Flank<br /><br />Future Cutie Mark: A red heart with smaller hearts each with a different colour of the rainbow.<br />Meaning: Skittles, despite having a completely unrelated name, takes pride in her ability to empathise with other ponies and to help them find worth and meaning in their lives. Essentially, she's a walking suicide hotline. But with other stuff added too. Like extra apps on your phone.

Personality: While loud, crude and brash, Skittles is caring. She takes care of those who worm their way into her heart and her loyalty is unrivalled in her friendship group. <br />She has mental illnesses such as autism, social anxiety and depression that affect her general behaviour a lot, but usually she's the same sarcastic pegasus.

Backstory: Skittles is complex. She was born in a changeling hive, but, considering that their queen was ruthless, one nursery maid sent the foal away, but not before prompting her to take on a disguise. She was left on a doorstep in Manehattan and her story began. For the first few years of her life, she lived in a nice home with a unicorn mother named Morning Glow and a bat pony father named Perpetual Thunderstorm. Her older sister, Monochromatic Spectrum was more of a mother to her though, since both parents were busy during the day and late into the night.<br /><br />However, living in Manehattan has it's problems. At age seven, she was walking home when a gang pony, only around 19 himself, snatched her from the almost empty street. And thus Skittles' fighting life began. Left to fend for herself, the pegasus quickly made a name for herself in the back alleys, her hoof meeting the face of a mare named Abstract a Brushstroke the most. After a short romantic fling, the two parted ways beaten and bloody and Skittles left Manehattan for good.<br /><br />It wasn't long before Rainbow Falls' construction ended and it was a fully functioning, quaint village. Skittles lives there to this day.
