- when and how did you get inspired to create them?
- when i first made her she was one of princess luna's bat pony guards. at first, i really liked that idea and wanted to keep it, but i decided to make her more unique and memorable. i kept her the same race, bat changed up her design and overall hobbies and personality. i came up with her colors from a color palette i saw on tumblr, and i decided to give her a special talent to correspond with her race.

the palette that created her!

- how did you decide on their personality, interests, etc?
- i used a bit of my real life experiences, so i tried a character who was lazy and mischievous but intelligent in her own ways. i did this to fit with her bat pony species, who are known for being mysterious and quite troublesome, often messing around with others. the race ties into her astronomy theme, too, since astronomy involves the study of celestial objects - that mostly appear at night - and bat ponies are nocturnal.

- why did you give them the name you did?
- crux is the name of a constellation, and is the smallest of today's modern constellations. it stands for cross in latin. i gave this to her to fit with her astronomy theme.

- compare yourself to your OC in any areas from genres, hobbies, anything.
- i mostly connect to her personality wise. i'm not afraid to admit that i'm a rather lazy person. i procrastinate, refuse to do certain things, and i can be really annoying to be around for long periods of time due to this; however, i will work for something if i find it will help me in the long run. this makes me look pretty selfish and mean. crux is the same way, working for her own benefits and often neglecting others. like all people - and ponies - crux has flaws.

name: crux
gender: female
age: 23.
race: bat-pony
appearance:
● smaller than the average mare
● gray coat
● sky blue mane (with darker and lighter streaks)
● blue eyes + slit pupils
● bat wings + fangs + ear tuffs
personality: this rather untruthful bat pony has an eye for constellations and a knack for learning about them. she would be lying if she said she wasn't
lazy and misguided; crux tends to work for her own benefits whilst ignoring what other people need in the process. she enjoys her solitude,
allowing her to work to the fullest extent (when she's in the mood) without being disturbed, but lacks common sense when it comes to
leaving other people alone, making her come off as a hypocrite and nuisance. however, she is highly skilled in astronomy and can make jaws drop
with her surprising amount of intellect towards the subject.
history: wip.
cutie mark: a moon with the crux constellation in front of it
talents: studying celestial objects
abilities: flying
