*As Silky would listen to him describe himself, she'd sit him on the chair and spin him in place a little bit until he was facing a mirror. The image was not quite visible just yet but she would show him a catalogue of clothing, hairstyles and hair dye* Which ones attract you the most, lovely?

Essentially, use Google to see what kind of clothing, hairstyle, fashion or personality archetype you can place in a spoiler for me to get inspired and come up with something. Your description is VERY inspiring, btw! But the more details you add, the better it helps <3

 

Of course! He doesn't wear clothes too often, but he does have this one reversible day/night cloak that he absolutely adores. 

Also- I've been really struggling with how I want his mane to look so maybe I can find some inspiration there as well!

Let's start by the name after Silky will be done with your style, if you don't mind! After all, it's the first thing that the ponies you are going to meet will learn about you!

That makes sense! It can wait.

All right @Princess Silky, this is what I'm liking so far:

 

Spoiler

Not sure if any of these would look good on him, but I'm digging these mane styles for some reason.

Ooh, can't believe I forgot to post a reference for his cloak! I'll get right on that (Hopefully).

[Auroraderp 627]

Honestly, this is perfect as far as size and dimensions go. The color/pattern is a little bit more complicated on Aurora's cloak though.

Spoiler

Like I said, his is reversible, so depending on how you want to draw it, one side should be white and the other should be black for day/night. The white side should probably have the sun and a bunch of little yellow/gold highlights and accents and whatnot, and the black side would have the moon and the stars, probably with some silvery elements sprinkled through it as well. 

Hopefully that makes sense. I'm sorry, I know it's super complicated and none of yall have to try at doing that if you don't want to but it's something I'll always see in my mind's eye.

@Aurora876 "Don't worry! I'm sure that Princess Silky understand what you mean! She is a very smart pegasus! Plus, it's not that complicated, it's just very detailed and I like it that way!"

Well, I hope so!

 

Wow I just realized @Shiny Silvermoon-- your OC is basically a color flip of mine as far as body color in contrast with mane/tail color!

"You're right! I didn't think of that! That's so cool! Also, while Silky is working on your OC, we could find you a name! What do you think?"

Oh duh, of course! Sorry lol.

Well, as far as a last name goes- I want something related to the cold arctic north/the night sky/both?? Kinda going along with the theme of his first name and where he lives.

I love those!! Especially the middle two. Lemme do some more brainstorming and see if I can come up with any more!

[Auroraderp 627]

I dunno, I think something with snow sounds good. Aurora Snowdrift? Aurora Snowswirl?

I've been thinking about it and I found a few ideas too! What about Blizzard, Winter, Northglow or Northstar?

@Shiny Silvermoon I second what Aurora said!  Northglow sounds very unique, I don't believe I've seen anyone have an OC with that last name
