I just stumbled across MLPforums the other day when I was doing a Google search about pony merchandise, and I thought it would be a fun way to meet some awesome fellow bronies, so...  I signed up.  I must say, this site's pretty nifty.

 

Well, what can I say about myself?  My name is Rainshine, and I am a zebralicorn.

I've had people all the time telling me that my ponysona is a "mary sue" or "marty stu," just because it is both an alicorn and a zebra.  

 

Before any of you get the idea to follow that thought, I'd like to go ahead and explain right up front why it is false.  The definition of a "mary sue" character is one that is not well planned out and is made up of a bunch of different "cool" attributes thrown together haphazardly for no real purpose other than to look good.  My ponysona is neither haphazardly thrown together, nor meant to make myself look cool to other  people.  It is entirely a representation of myself.  Every part of the pony has something to do with who I am as a person, and I've tried several times to take away one or more of the "excessive" traits so that the character doesn't seem so "way overdone," but I can't identify with it anymore afterwards, so I have to bring the parts back in.

 

 

Rainshine is a zebra.  This stems from my other fursona, the aardwolf, which is a small species of hyena that has stripes and a long, fluffy tail.  The aardwolf is a perfect representation of me because of its small physical size, its nocturnal habits, its nurturing instinct, and its insectivorous diet (it feasts only on termites, so it is not a violent hunting type of animal; I relate to it because of my philosophy of pacifism).  When I became a brony, I wanted to incorporate my already existing fursona into my new ponysona, so I made it a zebra.

 

Rainshine has a horn.  The original reason for this was because I was obsessed with unicorns when I was younger, and I always wanted to be a unicorn; however, there are more important reasons for keeping my horn.  First of all, I am an artist, and in the real world I do a lot of things that involve working with my hands.  Ponies don't have hands.  It always really bugged me when the ponies in the cartoon would use their hooves to pick things up, because that is physically impossible and illogical.  Unicorns, however, can use their levitation magic to do the types of things that I do.  The curve of my horn signifies something else entirely.  ;3

 

Rainshine has wings.  Not only would flying for real be super amazing, but it's also how I feel when I listen to music, and since my cutie mark is related to the music that I feel and how it inspires me, I think that the wings are an appropriate physical metaphor.  If Rainshine had no wings, how would I symbolize that inspiration, that freedom, that comes from the music?

 

 

So now that you know something important about me, I feel that we (whoever you are) are one step closer to becoming friends; and what is this world without friends?  If anypony wants to talk to me or ask me questions, I am always willing to accept.  Don't be shy.  :3

Welcome to this wonderful paradise, Rainshine! I'm already ready to make another friend, and I hope that you want to do the same. Anyway, if you enjoy roleplaying we have plenty of topics to keep you occupied. Enjoy your stay! :)

Muchas gracias for the kind welcome, Scootalove.  I appreciate it. 

I'm not into roleplaying all that much, but I may try it once or a few times here.  c:

I don't typically respond to these threads, but you wrote in Spanish so I'm making an exception. Well, that and because I'm only a post away from Cupcakehood.

 

Welcome, Rainshine! Espero que lo disfrutes!

Hola Rainshine!

 

First off I love your creative self expressed spirit! I can tell you are gonna be a very interesting pony to get to know. I already can connect in the concept that you actually thought out your ponysona just like I did. I didnt go overboard on colors other then for the colors I know physically work for me in real life. I never cared for poofy fancy stuff so its why my tail is kinda a long straight gryphon like tail with rainbow fluff. All the rainbow color is merely to express my spontanious all over the place love of my hobbies and personality, in that its never staying in one place all the time. That said I love how you thought out your pony looks and really like how it matches you. Very nicely done, looking forward to seeing what you post later on!

 

PS. The name is Lightning Bliss! Welcome Rainshine again!

*le gasps*  I can't believe I never checked back to my thread to see if any new ponies had commented!  :o

I really love the fact that, unlike most everypony else, you actually replied to the discussion instead of just saying "hi" and "welcome."  xD

 

I can tell by your description of yourself and your ponysona that you and I will probably get along well.  c:
