Bio:

Spoiler: show

Born and raised in Canterlot, Liaisa was quickly taught to behave properly, "as a mare unicorn should". Her parents had a lot of younger friends, who still had to get married. With her mother being a musician who preferably plays at weddings and her father specializing in wedding cakes, Liaisa attended many weddings during her childhood. As is Canterlot tradition, the weddings were big, beautiful and romantic. The little filly couldn't see enough pretty flowers or beautiful dresses, but she enjoyed watching the actual ceremony the most. Seeing two ponies getting married was absolutely fantastic.

In class, Liaisa couldn't pay much attention since she was always daydreaming about the weddings she attended, and what it was like to fall in love; being so young, she didn't know yet. Due to this, Liaisa never got the results her parents wanted her to get, but she managed to pass her tests, which was good enough in her opinion.

On the Hearts and Hooves day's dance from her school, Liaisa discovered her matchmaking abilities and earned her cutiemark, as well as a special somepony. The two never danced, but enjoyed their first date nonetheless. She was happy that her Knight saved her from her pool of solitude and self-pity. Liaisa later found out her pegasus colt was a year older, which is why she didn't recognize him at the dance.

The two ponies, as well as some of the other couples Liaisa connected, dated each other for a while. However, all the ponies were still growing up and quickly grew apart. The poor ponies soon discovered how fragile a heart can be.

Cutiemark Story:

Spoiler: show

Liaisa was last of her class to earn a cutiemark. It wasn't until the Hearts and Hooves day's dance, which she helped organize, that she discovered her special talent. It was the first Hearts and Hooves day Liaisa and her friends celebrated. Everypony was very shy and insecure about finding a partner for the dance, but not Liaisa. All the colts would come to her for assistance and she managed to find the perfect partner for every single one of them. However, busy as she was trying to help the others, the day of the dance approached and Liaisa no longer had the time to find a partner for herself. The poor filly was sad, but her mother had made her such a wonderful dress she didn't have the heart to stay home.

Her dreams of entering the dance in her beautiful dress, with the perfect colt were shattered and nearly broke the filly's heart as she sauntered towards the ball, where she sat in a corner and watched the other ponies enjoy dancing with their partner. Occasionally, one or two couples would take a break from dancing and sit with Liaisa to thank her for her matchmaking and generally to talk and have fun. But sitting there alone, even if just for a few minutes, was enough for Liaisa to feel bad and not even her daydreams of beautiful weddings and fairytales could cheer her up.

But then, out of the blue, a well-dressed pegasus colt walked up to her and held out his hoof, asking for her to dance with him. Surprised by the sudden event, Liaisa blushed heavily as she stared at his hoof. Her eyes lit up and sparked with joy, while her heart began to beat heavily and she was overthrown with emotion. She discovered what the ponies at the weddings feel and with a quick glance around, looking at all those ponies who probably felt the same overwhelming feeling, Liaisa was smiling ear to ear. Feeling twice the joy, she barely could even dance; but when then her cutiemark appeared Liaisa had to sit down again. She never did dance with her colt on that Hearts and Hooves day, but she was happy nonetheless and her parents couldn't be more proud about their daughter.

Original Characters / Majem

2012 Oct 13, 17:22:19

Name: Majem
Gender: Stallion
Species: Unicorn
Age: Young adult
Physique: Not at all strong or fast. Low physical endurance, but a quick thinker with great reflexes.
Cutie Mark: A whirlpool.

Talent: Majem has mastered the liquefy spell. He can almost effortlessly turn one of his limb into water. More than one limb, or even a full-body liquefaction takes a lot more effort. When turned to water, Majem can easily (and extremely fast) traverse through or hide in water or move through extremely narrow spaces. Though he usually keeps his normal shape in water form.
He can hold his breath for an impressive amount of time; comes with the expertise in swimming.

Coat Colour: Entirely blue, but his coat is almost black near his hooves, whereas his face is a very bright blue.
Hair Colour: Majem's natural hair colour is white, but a spell turned it into water. It gently floats through the air if nothing's wrong, though the waving becomes more violent if Majem is angered or excited.
Eye Colour: Blue.
Picture Time!

Spoiler: The long awaited picture of this silly pony! • show

Occupation: With his talent and interests, Majem has become a water tester. He makes sure the water is clear by both traditional and his own ways. His own way being liquefying himself and checking the water himself. Apart from testing the water, Majem will also clean the water, if necessary.

Personality: Majem loves to talk to other ponies, though he can be the quiet type, meaning he probably won't be the one starting the conversation. He is usually calm and rather laid-back. Despite this, Majem loves going on adventures and will become somewhat of a daredevil when adventuring. He's very curious and somewhat distrusting in ponies' motives behind their actions. Majem is just like his grandfather.
Other information: Majem's mane and tail are constantly liquefied because he subconsciously casts the liquefy spell on them. They only return to normal if Majem  is drained of magic, or knocked out. He has high magical endurance, though he's extremely weak with spells which do not include water.

Likes: Water, fish, noodles, rice, swimming, magic, Earth Ponies (Interested in their passive magic and a little jealous of their physique), adventures, sleeping, cynicism

Dislikes: Fire, pain, spiders, surfacing, talking too much, getting up, his natural hair, littering, mysteries

De magicks: Aside from turning parts of his body into water, Majem will also have to give form to them by changing the surface tension of his water. Once he has given himself a form, any form of collision with his new body, will be felt as pain. He will remain visually unharmed, regardless of what happens to him in water form (He won't have any cuts, bruises or other form of wounds, but will be in pain).
To give form to himself takes more effort than letting himself flow away like normal water. That's why his mane and his tail take so little effort, they don't really have a definite shape.

The water inside of him is constantly flowing outwards to prevent any pollution from entering his body after turning back to normal. This does not mean that his 'skin' is impenetrable (Far from it, actually. Put a bag on his back, it'll sink through him). If too much pollution has gone through his body, he will be sick. The water he swims through has to be clean, unless he swims in normal form.

Background Story:

Spoiler: show

Majem: The moment he was born, his cutiemark and his talent were very clear. Majem was the perfect picture of the ocean, and he was reminded almost daily when his sister was still very little. She would often draw fish on his coat, about which Majem could only laugh. It made him feel more like the ocean, which he loved. He'd spend all the free time he had swimming, even if it was little. Majem is an excellent swimmer and can hold his breath longer than anypony he knows. But it was never long enough. At some point, he'd have to surface again to breath. Therefore, the little unicorn always practiced a spell to breath underwater, but he never quite figured out how to cast it. He spent several years practicing, but to no avail. Later on, he found a spell to turn his body into water, which the little pony learned much faster and he mastered the use of said spell. He never was the best student, but his talent quickly helped him to the job he loves more than anything.
Majem's dream is to one day become just like his grandfather and travel the entire world.

His father: Bray, an Earth Pony, was a farmer and always needed help on the farm. However, the two Unicorn kids were physically very weak and could do little on the fields, but they tried their best nonetheless. His father rarely asked for help, since the two little unicorns would always help out without being asked. Instead, he told them to go out and play when they began to tire.

His mother: Mistrall, a Pegasus, would help out whenever the kids' duty was over. Her husband wanted her to rest as much as possible. She was quite capable of working out on the farm, yet she tired out a lot faster than Bray. Even though the local Pegasi would make the weather be optimal for the vegetation on the farms, she would modify the weather above their farm according to her husband's instructions, who knew when there was too much or too little rain, wind or sun.

His sister: Blaze, also a Unicorn, loves her big brother very much but she's completely different. She's very energetic and a very fast runner. She loves cooking and sitting around a campfire. Though it's not her special talent, she's very good at lighting a fire and knowing when a dish is ready.

The ponies in town would always call them the 'elemental' family. Bray being earth, Mistrall being air, Blaze being fire and Majem being water. They laughed whenever somepony said so, since they realized it very well. The elemental family got along very well with the ponyfolk, and when Majem was old enough to live on his own, the entire was saddened to see him leave. The town would never be the same again, without the fourth element present, so they threw him a farewell party.

Zest: Zest, a unicorn and Majem's grandfather was a fanatic adventurer who has been reported missing.
Zest never stayed in one place for too long and rarely had money on him; Going from town to town he accepted any job he could get (preferably bartender), so that he could tell the tales of his adventures before heading out again (and have some fun). The main reason Zest travelled so much was because he didn't like society much and he never trusted anypony with anything.
At some point during his eventful life, in a town where he managed to be bartender for a few days, Zest met a beautiful farmer's daughter. The lovestruck unicorn couldn't leave her, no adventure in the world could drive him away from her and he decided to finally settle down. The two ponies inherited her father's farm and had a wonderful child, they named him Bray. Zest, still uncomfortable with society and distrusting of others, taught his son to be prepared for every situation.
After many years of living a comfortable life and telling stories of his past, Zest grew bored of his life. With Bray being engaged, he decided to take on his adventurous life again and stayed just long enough to watch the wedding of his son. It was the last time Bray saw his father, but Bray never worried about him. He told Majem and Blaze the stories Zest used to tell him.

Majem has only recently moved away from his hometown to live on his own, but he returns to his parents during Heart's Warming Eve and they occasionally visit him.
