Pony's name: Sea Spray Pony's age: Young Adult Type of pony or animal: Pegasus Pony Pony's cutie mark and special talent: Cutie mark is a seashell and special talent is seashell collecting. Employment: Seashell Shack Current city: Cloudsdale
Appearance: Sea Spray is slightly short, by pony standards, and slightly heavier too. Her body is a turquoise color, and her mane and tail are variegated greens. She has a splash of freckles across her nose, and violet hooves that match her bright violet eyes. Her wings are thin and transparent, resembling those of a dragonfly. Most of the time her mane sports artificial looking curls, while her tail has only slight waves. When wet, they both turn stick straight, and it takes some work to get the curls formed back into her mane.
Sea Spray's human form isn't done yet, so this will be updated once it is. (:
Personality Sea Spray was never what you'd call shy, though she is kind of quiet and much more of a follower than a leader. As a young filly she had many friends in Cloudsdale, and enjoyed spending time in their company. But as she grew older, she drifted away from them, and in the later years of her life she's grown more and more indepedent. She's a little self conscious around other pegasus ponies, because she knows she's not as talented of a flier as they are, nor does she enjoy the same things some of them do.
She loves the peace and quiet of nature, uninterrupted by anypony. At the same time, she's still a bit skittish, and spooks easily at the presence of other creatures. She doesn't like the dark, and will almost never be caught out alone at night.
She's not vain about her appearance, but she takes a certain pride in her mane, and does her best to press curls into it. She's always admired ponies who had long, flowing, curly manes, and thinks it makes up for her unfeminine build and coloration. The young studs tend to look at everyone but her, or so she thinks. It doesn't really bother her, at least not that she'd let on, but deep down she really wishes someone would notice her and appreciate the talents she has.
Sea Spray also doesn't like to stay in the same place for too long, perhaps because she has gotten so accustomed to traveling around looking for new and unique shells. She may eventually settle down, but at the present time she has no desire for a serious relationship or anything else that would place constraints on her life. She's like the ocean in more ways than one...always moving and shifting, yet also changing tune very quickly. One minute she can be as calm as the tide leaving the beach, the next as animated as a storm at sea. It's not a temper, really, but she can get really worked up when she has any sort of strong emotion - whether anger, excitement, sadness, or even fear.
Background From the start, Sea Spray knew she was different. Her wings seemed to do nothing but make her clumsier than she already was. There was also something she couldn't quite put her finger on that made her different from all the other pegasus ponies she knew. Her friends couldn't wait to start flying, while she had the desire to stay firmly planted on the ground. Well, as much ground as she could be planted on in Cloudsdale.
Then her friends started getting their cutie marks, and she began to wonder if hers would ever come. There was nothing she was exceptionally good at, and nothing she had a great interest in. She followed everypony around trying to find a niche where she fit in, but it was useless. She started to believe she would never fit in and would never get her cutie mark. Everypony was off doing exciting things in the world but her, and she found herself spending more and more time alone.
Then one day she found herself in Ponyville, for the first time in her life. It was a peculiar place, with all the green grass and new sights. She started wandering around and then she came upon a startling surprise. There was free running water, crisp and clear. She bent down to take a drink, and when she did, she saw something glistening in the sand. After nudging it with her hoof, it broke free of the sand. It was the most beautiful thing she'd never seen, and suddenly she knew she wanted to find more...and more...and more. That's when she got her cutie mark, in the form of a seashell just like the one she'd discovered. From that moment on she's been collecting as many as she can find.
And so she grew, out of childhood and into her teenage years. While other ponies were racing through the clouds, she'd often find herself seeking the shores of firm ground, wandering around Ponyville and other areas. Somewhere along the way, her flying skills grew better, as she made more and more trips to collect shells. Her wings don't give her much speed, but they are so large compared to her body that they make it easy to float through the skies.
As her shell collection grew and grew, she realized she'd never have room to keep them all, so she started selling them to other ponies who were also fascinated by their beauty. Now that she's a young adult, she spends most of her time in Ponyville, though she still calls Cloudsdale home, since that is where her family and friends live. She doesn't do much socializing when she's in Ponyville, but perhaps it's time for that to change.
Anything else you'd like to add: Hopefully this all makes sense for her history! I'm new to this and still learning, though after watching a couple episodes on youtube I must say I'm hooked!
