Odette And Sunflower

[PrincessParfait]

Odette

Spoiler: show

New OC! Yay! I'll let you guess which two stories she's based off of 

Name: Odette
Age: 17
Gender: Mare
Species: Pegasus
Coat color: Light Blue Grey
Mane Color: White
Eye color: Rose Pink
Special Talent: Communicates with different birds. Like Fluttershy. Mainly Swans, geese and ducks.
Residence: Moves different places depending on climate.
Occupation: Herds and tends to her birds and guides them during migration.
Likes: Birds, lakes, flowers, and sweets.
Dislikes: Most ponies, snow, Lighting, confrontation.
Hobbies: Swimming and flying
Personality: Sweet but almost never says a word to anypony.  She'd rather be in company with her birds. Because lack of contact with her own kind, Odette is not as right in the head and has trouble socializing with other ponies. Extremely shy and easily frightened. If she does attach herself to a pony, she'd follow them around like a duckling.
Bio: Odette's earliest memory was of being alone in the forest when she was just a homely little pegasus. She was taken into a rather large family. However, she was picked on from her family and other ponies. Odette eventually ran away from home as a young filly and set off on her own. She traveled Equestria to find somewhere she could fit in and each time failed. Until one afternoon by a lake in the outskirts of Ponyville she discovered a group of beautiful white birds. And when she talked to them they would stop to listen. Every afternoon after that Odette would go down the lake and was suprised that they quickly welcomed and accepted her. It was then that she found her cutie mark and her ability to communicate with birds. She took up residence besides the lake and grew up amoung them. Her wish is to find out where she came from.
Appearance:
Additional Info: Scared of just about everything. She is smaller than most ponies her age.

Sunflower:

Spoiler: show

Name: "Sunflower"
Age: 16
Gender: Mare
Species: Unicorn
Coat color: Light Yellow
Mane Color: Reddish Brown
Eye color: Sky Blue
Special Talent: Growing Sunflowers
Residence: Ponyville. In a Sunflower field.
Occupation: Growing Sunflowers
Likes: Sunflowers, tea time, tacky old hats, anything yellow, crows, the scarecrow.
Dislikes: Hot days, dishonesty, losing things.
Hobbies: Having tea and picnics, chatting with old friends, knitting.
Personality: Quirky, odd, and open minded. Other ponies think she's crazy. She has a talent for of being unusually perceptive. Her demeanor and voice are often distant and dreamy and she would drift away from a conversation she does not find interesting. She also tends to appear very calm, even under difficult circumstances. Sunflower is often the subject of ridicule. She takes this in stride, though, being patient and accepting of the others around her. She is very loyal to the few friends she has.
Bio: Sunflower doesn't remember much. All she remembers is the sunflowers which is where she got her name. Other ponies think she's nuts and keeps their distance, but she doesn't seem to mind or notice. She's made a home for herself near the sunflower field and has the crows and the scarecrow for a friends. She does however have some repressed memories and suffers from a lot of nightmares. Her favorite item is an old hat and has a collection of many tacky hats. She'd go crazy without her hat. She also has a hobby of picking up abandoned things.
Appearance: [spoiler][IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/kisa266/Sunflower001.jpg[/img]

Additional Info: Even though she rarely practiced her magic and will rarely even use it, she has a lot of potential for powerful magic. Doesn't mean she has powerful magic. Just has potential. She also had a growing crush on the scarecrow, who she thinks is a real pony and the crows like to sit on her for some reason.

''SO CUTE!''

Cutest pony I've ever seen! Beatiful!

I have a colt OC just like her, I think they'd fit together

He's name is Takayama, he's weak, frail, scared of everything, but adds a bit of comedy

[PrincessParfait]

Aww thanks! 

And that'd be cute. I'm sure they'd get along.
Takayama would have a hard time getting her to talk though 

[Rumor]

Aww thanks! 

And that'd be cute. I'm sure they'd get along.
Takayama would have a hard time getting her to talk though 

Oh I'm sure he'd get her to laugh before she'd talk
You should introduce her in my RP!

[PrincessParfait]

Which RP?

[Rumor]

Which RP?

Life in Ponyville of course!

[Rad Thunder]

Cute!
Not as cute as Parfait, but still.

Odette is a much more realistic pony to me and I like her design a lot more. Ever since Fluttershy, I haven't seen any other pony who enjoys talking to wildlife of any sort. It's good to see this. I also am fond of her colors, light blue and white seem to go well together.

Just wondering if Odette would be a good pony name, as I am unaware of its meaning. Most pony names you can easily tell the meaning behind such names, like Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about "abuse" in Equestria; perhaps a different approach could be used, like "picked on". Lastly, "small weak and frail" sound... uh... typical. I could see her describing herself as that, but it's not wise to leave it at that. Very rarely is a pony as weak and frail as they believe they are, and there is normally a good reason for it. As long as you have something planned for her that offsets or balances her perception on her lack of physical capabilities, it should work out.

Overall, I like this character.

Odette is the swan princess, which I think is who this Odette is based after.

[PrincessParfait]

I named her Odette from Swan Lake. I really couldn't come up with anything better. I thought it would do for now. I'm open to suggestions. And you're right. "Picked on" seems to fit in better.
I tried to base her from the Ugly Duckling. I tried to follow the story without it being weird.  Which is why I made her kinda weak and helpless. At least she'll start off that way. But I do definitely have something planned in the future.
Maybe I put too much? I should keep it simple.

Good job!  I'm glad someone got it

It's the author's job to strike that balance between simplicity and complexity. It is your character, after all. All I can really do for you is look at it and tell you if I find it "too complex/simple" and have you work off of that. The best thing you could do is take her one step at a time and gradually introduce her personality quirks and such.

[PrincessParfait]

You're right ^^ I'll do that.
Thanks!

Oh, I'm loving the crazy pony  . Crazy people who take care of themselves can be terribly interetsing to talk to, if a little frustrating at times  !

Anyways I like her story, don't know if she needs that magic potential but thats up to you  !

Hoping for future develop of this character, maybe a short story? I would love that  !

Anyway i did a little spell correcting in my quote up there ^. You don't have to use it but I did it anyway   !

[PrincessParfait]

Didn't think anyone would notice this.  She's pretty new so I don't know if I want all that magic or not. We'll see~
And thanks for your thoughts and spell correcting, Galvin! 

[GalvinRoe]

Yeah no problem  ! There were only a few corrections and I always love giving my thoughts  !

Loving your art, as always~!

And do whatever you want with your character  ! I'm just throwing my two cents around.

I'd love to help develope this character a little if you want though  ! A quick RP or something, or more of my thoughts  ! However it goes I'm sure she'll be a fun quirky pony  !

(Oh and on a side not I'll remove the spelling corrections and commet about it from above post and this post if you aren't going to use them or are done using them  !)

[Rad Thunder]

A new pony OC! Did you draw her too?

[PrincessParfait]

Mhm~
