Need some help naming a character in a fanfic I'm working on.

Short and simple: I'm working on a pony fanfic and need some help naming the main character. 

 

Some characteristics of the character:

 

  • She is Rainbow Dash's sister
  • Shares the same coloring as Dash (blue coat, rainbow mane), except her mane is much longer, around shoulder length, and has different colored eyes. 
  • Where Dash is confident and boisterous the main character is quite and reserve. However, she is not the 'polar opposite" of Rainbow Dash. The two characters have different motivations and different background stories that influenced their outlooks and how their personalities developed, but the main character is  the opposite to Dash in terms of social status due to some bad events the character was involved in as a child. 
  • She later discovers a talent for painting, she was also drawing as a child but never attempted anything behind a crayon drawing until she was an adult. 

It's really hard to explain without explaining most of the story, but those are the key points. It's also really hard to think of a name because Equestria's naming conventions are different from the real world. Some families share the same last name (like the Cake Family) while other names are just different across the board (like the Apple family). 

 

So it's really hard thinking of name that fits into this naming convention while also not trying to make the character sound like a Mary Sue. Others have suggested that the family name has something to do with the Character's talent, so maybe the characters name could have something to do with weather and painting? 

 

I don't know, could you guys maybe pitch some name ideas and suggestions at me? Maybe I can come up with something, because I'm really stumped right now.
