Another amino-era OC redraw (Freyr)

[seiko yume 18]

I redrew another pony OC I originally designed while I was active on amino. I can't remember how far past Void Prism I drew him, but I know it was definitely during my Moomins era cause I got heavily obsessed with the passage of seasons after that. The old design was giving me heavy Onceler vibes. Maybe it's the emo fringe and scarf? Idk... and the old accessories didn't really give much insight into his personality or character, so I changed it up! Back in my amino days I also had a really bad habit of getting lazy with hair or coat patterns, so I would just make it ombre. I think over half of my old OCs and sonas have ombre hair lol. Oh god, I thought I grew out of it, but I just realized Chiyo has ombre hair!! AAAGH I'LL NEVER BE FREE!!!

 

 

Freyr is a non-royal alicorn who originally started out as an Earth pony with extensive knowledge on how the seasons in Equestria affect the flora and fauna. Like the animals and plants he cares for, he too is affected by the seasons, with his horn and wings changing which plants bloom, or shedding entirely. His "feathers" are made of leaves, which turn in the autumn and fall off in the Winter. Waiting for his wings and horn to regrow is inconvenient, so Freyr tends to travel to warmer climates during this time, where the winter season does not get as cold. I didn't write "south" on the little chart cause I remembered this one post how people in the North Hemisphere tend to default that going south means hotter, and going north means colder, whereas in the Southern Hemisphere, it's totally different. I wonder if people in Australia celebrate Christmas by going to the pool or the beach. A beach party would make a really awesome year-end celebration!

Enough side-tracking, let's get into Freyr's character! Freyr is a widely patient, and nurturing alicorn that doesn't like to stick around in one place for too long. He isn't keen on being treated like most alicorns, which is royalty or a deity, and even less so for material possessions.  If he does keep anything that isn't absolutely necessary, the item must serve some sort of sentimental value, or leisure to him. He definitely holds the simple things in life much more highly than using his powers for significant cause, like good or evil. Freyr mainly uses his power to manipulate nature, and change the seasons in places where ponies either aren't doing it, or can not. He doesn't let this power tie him down or give him hard responsibility, as that would mean giving up his nomadic lifestyle. He hopes when he does change seasons in certain places, like helping wrap up winter in times where ponies were too unorganized to do it themselves, those ponies see it as a merciful warning to work better together next time, or they may not see the next year.

I really like the idea of a nature Alicorn, kinda reminds me of the Tinker Belle movies!  I like the colors of your OC, too, they're very soothing to look at!

Thank you!!  OMG I used to love Tinker Belle and Pixie Hollow, but I never watched any of the movies! Maybe this is my sign to start watching them.
