Morning Glory 177 November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 So I'm generally new to the MLP fandom and the first thing I did when I started liking it so much was create an original character... I just jumped into making one and never thought to actually.. well... put some thought into it xD So here I have a pony I've created, with no backstory!! I'm wondering if anyone with an imagination can help me come up with a nice story for my pony. Here is a picture of her: http://i.imgur.com/LtO1lfo.jpg She has a Lotus cutie mark and I've named her SapphireSnow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrobakon 57 November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 Well, I notice she's in some sort of forest. I have no idea if that's an on purpose thing, or if it's just for looks; however, what I do know is that forest looks cold and lonely. But that's not really where I'm getting at. In any case, when you say background, do you mean like complete character bio type stuff, or more of just like what she does for a living and stuff? What I'm trying to ask is; do you know why she has that cutie mark? What's her special talent? If we know this, it'll be a lot easier to put her in a place that makes sense, and work around it. If that made any sense. 1 Fluttershy and Princess Luna are the 2 BEST PONIES. Just sayin. and Trixie's really cool, too. peruse the dank memes and excellent forums with some choice jams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jp2qrAE2dM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morning Glory 177 November 25, 2015 Author Share November 25, 2015 Well.. Originally I took a quiz to see what cutie mark would fit my character and I got the lotus.. then after that, I realized cutie marks tend to give off some type of meaning related to the pony and their talent. I was considering her having some type of water/plant life type of talent, but nothing specific and unique came to mind. I've looked up the meaning of the Lotus flower and came up with a few meanings. Faithfulness, beauty, purity, re-birth, wisdom, intelligence, knowledge, and spiritual enlightenment. I was thinking maybe... something with alchemy, that has to do with roots and plant life, and tends to be isolated. I'm just trying to come up with a talent for her, as well as some type of small bio to just start off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrobakon 57 November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 The idea of alchemy is interesting, and I think she would fit in as a sort of apprentice to Zecora (y'know, that zebra that lives in the Everfree Forest and is like...pretty much a wizard maybe). The Everfree Forest is a fairly isolated place, and I know it holds all sorts of alchemical ingredients. I mean shoot, that's a start. Fluttershy and Princess Luna are the 2 BEST PONIES. Just sayin. and Trixie's really cool, too. peruse the dank memes and excellent forums with some choice jams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jp2qrAE2dM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
