Help needed for new OC!

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

I had a vague idea for a new OC, which came to me the other day during a journey. I've worked out her looks and basic personality, but she still needs the following:

 

• Name
• Special talent and cutie mark
• Backstory

 

I've made a graphic of her so that everypony can see what she looks like. I'd love to see what everypony here comes up with. Her personality so far:

 

Strengths.

Loyal to her friends.

Creative.

Hard working.

 

Weaknesses.

Can be conceited about her creations.

Hot tempered.

Holds a grudge.

Edit: Her name is Iris.

Well. She's creative so perhaps her special talent could have have something to do with art, painting maybe.

For a name, maybe something like Fiona or Prudence ?

For a name, maybe Iris?

 

Iris is the Goddess of Rainbows in myth, by the way.

@@Arcus, I like that name and looking at her, it suits her. I did want to have a rainbow reference in her name, but didn't want to go for the obvious. Thanks!

@, Painting sounds good... just need to figure out what kind of paintings. XD

Well there are a lot of different styles. Perhaps realism or abstract?

I could also see her cutie mark being related to photography, as there are often parallels with the eye and photography. Maybe it could be a blend- stylized photography (like photoshop-type art). her cutie mark could be the camera aperature, something like this:
