How to Write Alicorn Original Characters

Hello, Writing & Fan Fiction, I've realized that, while there are plenty of videos badmouthing Alicorn OC's, not many actually talk about fixing the problem. As such, I've thrown my hat into the ring:

Hello @StoneCold. Your topic deals with the creation of pony OCs and how to improve on them. Thusly, it has been moved from Writing & Fanfiction to Original Characters.

How to Write Alicorn OC's

Step 1: You don't

If you really want to write one i can't stress the word originality and detail on how they assended to alicorn status or if they where already one. Also you have to come up with what they reign over and how they go about it. I'm not saying don't do it but if you are going to use any of the abilities the 4 already standing alicorns already have try to make them as little as possible or change it up a bit. Don't over power them in a DBZ fashion since thats Twilights job but also don't make them a mary sue either like Cadance can be at times. Try as hard as possible to stay away from the character being connected to the main pony cast like the main 6, not saying they can't be friends but it has to be a believable one thats more an aquaintance style. There cutie mark is also important since again can't be a copy of the other alicorn princesses cutie marks, similar like mine in my profile picture since it's like Twilights but changed around a bit. The personality and intrests are all up to you along with the style which should not just be a recolor of the other princesses. I hope this helps and good luck.
