Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Courtly Love
Gender: Male
Type: Earth
Build Draft
Body: (#8F6563) ███ body with fetlocks and (#553c3b) ███ hooves.
Eyes: (#e5c3dc) ███ in the calm/half-lidded style. Maybe with a small gentle smile, like he's quietly admiring someone.
Hair: (#BC8F8F) ███ with a couple (#c9a5a5) ███ streaks in his bangs. A medium-style cut, something like this or similar to this. Kind of a humble naturally sexy look, like he doesn't realize he's attractive and isn't trying to be.
Cutie Mark 8D: A pink heart with a simple golden crown around or above it, whichever looks nicer in practice.
Brief Character Description: A phony of tender heart and honest disposition, Courtly Love is not to be mistaken for timid or fragile; he is soft and quiet with a keen eye for observation and nuance. Court is enamored by passionate ideals, floral beauty, and admirable gestures. He is a romantic at heart and easily moved, with tears as frequent through joy as from sorrow, though he is never one to openly wax poetic about his feelings. No, Courtly Love is more about action despite his unassuming nature and it would come as no surprise that even in his attempts to bring joy and love to others he stays well out of the spotlight. Courtly Love doesn't need recognition for his good deeds, only the knowledge that they were a boon to someone -- a smile on someone's face from a surprise bouquet or anonymous note of encouragement is all he needs. Often, Court will find himself twitterpated and drawn to numerous objects of affection but he would never require those feelings be returned; Court has a large heart with a never ending supply of love that he is genuinely happy to share even if it goes unrequited. It is far more important to him that those he cares for be smiling, safe and content, than for daydreams of romance to be consummated. Should you find yourself the apple of Courtly Love's eye, you can expect no pressure to reciprocate and in fact he may never divulge the secret to you -- you will simply find yourself with many a gift and a devoted stallion who would never deny you a request.

Name: Ornate Orchid

Type: Flutter - Winterwing
Build: Standard / Delicate
Body: dang ol dark purple breh
Eyes: (hex) wine red (maybe glasses??), sort of an unimpressed or unenthused [removed](like Quill or Ava)

Cutie Mark 8D: To be decided
Brief Character Description: i need to figure out her purpose but she's a smartypants and not super great socially, she means well and wants to help but can be pushy and a little abrasive, doesn't know how to mind her business, also doesn't know how to really apply herself even though she wants to -- she wants to be useful and practical but she has a much easier time dealing with superficial things or aesthetics

I DUNNO AAAAAAAA

Name: Pain Game
Gender: Male
Type: Earth??
Body: Standard, feathered fetlocks with hooves that match his eyes. His coat is a ghostly off-white.
Eyes: A dull red, not quite pink, half lidded with a smile. If he could have tired bags under his eyes, that'd be great.
Hair: Messy and stark white with streaks of red that match his eyes and hooves.
Cutie Mark 8D: I'd like bloody knuckles as his cutie mark, ideally, but I realize that's probably Super Complicated and very tricky. Something to do with blood, otherwise, would be just fine (actual blood red, too).
Brief Character Description: he's a little slow, almost like he's perpetually drowsy, but very kind and down to earth. he's always well meaning and wants to do work that can benefit others or at least make them happy. except, he can't really say 'no' and just agrees to almost everything that's asked of him. if he really doesn't want to do something then he will fight it but the only way he'll protest anything is by challenging you to a "pain game" and if he loses then he'll do what's asked of him without question. these games can range from hoof wrestling, to biting, to all out brawls until one of the participants gives up. the only downside for him is that he's a very achy phony which makes these things difficult for him to even participate in, and sets himself up almost immediately for failure. maybe he would be better off as a referee, instead.

HUB Pony Maker

Name: Sleepy Hollow
Gender: Male
Type: Unicorn
Body: A little on the thinner side, but otherwise standard shape. His body is a dull brown color like old Autumn bark. He has feathered fetlocks and his hooves are cloven like a deer's (but if this is not possible, I am 100% okay with standard hooves!). His horn is curved and a bit branch-like.
Eyes: Half-lidded and a bright orangey-yellow accompanied by black sclera. He should have a suave or calm sort of smile, he's friendly but a little subdued.
Hair: A handsomely messy mane, vibrant orange like Autumn leaves. His tail is considerably longer than his mane but not long enough to consider Brush 'n Grow. Both his mane and his tail are styled a bit choppy.
Cutie Mark 8D: The blackened silhouette of a gnarled looking tree with two simple jack-o-lanterns on either side of the trunk. One has a happy face and the other has a sad face like the traditional Theater Masks. (these can be rearranged or added to so the cutie mark doesn't look like a Spooky d**k)
Brief Character Description: Hollow is often a solitary sort, but not because he dislikes the company of others. No, he likes other phonies just fine but he also finds a certain beauty in solitude, in silence, and he tries to find a balance for both. When engaged in conversation, he can be very complimentary, charismatic even, and it is extremely rare to see him without a smile. Still, he is on the calmer side and rarely becomes boisterous even when he is clearly having fun. This hides his more mischievous side, which comes about in playful deadpan jabs or harmless fibs meant to confuse or spook others. Hollow can be something of a prankster when he sets his mind to it, especially around the Halloween season. From spooky stories to elaborate hoaxes, his interests run the gamut and he's always interested in a little ghost hunting if only for the thrill. Hollow has good instincts and can read others well, which makes it easy for him to employ his skills. That's why he works at a little haunted house in Phonyland, to get their blood pumping and give them a fun fright! Of course, if things go too far and the scares are no longer fun, Hollow is just as quick to shut things down and help calm the poor soul. He never means anything malicious by his antics and wants to make sure everyone involved is a willing and excited participant.

Name: Lucky Clover (tentative)
Gender: Female
Type: Earth
Body: A nice light green, pale and unobtrusive, with a short but thin body type. If possible, I'd like a playful pose or something relaxed and innocent looking.
Eyes: Her eyes are a bright green and she usually has a smile on her face.
Hair: Her mane and tail style, I'd like to look similar to Sugar Plum's, but you're free to play with the exact length! It'd be nice if maybe she had a four leaf clover in her hair somewhere, or a gold hair clip that looks like one so it doesn't get lost in her luscious green locks, but this is not essential! I'm not sure if I want her hair to be a single color or not, so I will leave that to artist's discretion but, if it is a single color, I would prefer the darker shade of green!
Cutie Mark 8D: A four leaf clover with 2-3 smaller three leaf clovers around it.
Brief Character Description: Clover's the sort of pony that never quite grew up mentally. She's very imaginative, playful, and superstitious. It's her firm belief that things like destiny and fate don't exist, and everything in life relies exclusively on luck -- so you should try to be as lucky as you can! Clover considers herself to have been born lucky. Heck, it's even in her name! Obviously, just associating with her will no doubt bring you a little extra luck in your day, but it doesn't hurt to tack on even more. Lucky charms and things of the sort are considered highly valuable and desirable to this mare and she has a fine collection stored away for herself. She isn't so selfish that she'd keep them all, though, and whenever she has too much, she sets up a booth to sell her wares and spread the luck to everyone. If you can't afford it, don't worry, she's a fair filly. She'll let you play a game with her in exchange!

G1 Pony (a good expression for her too!)

Name: Holly Hock
Sex: Female
Type: Earth
Build: Squishy
Body: A soft and simple gingerbread brown

Hair: Long and green, full bodied and a bit choppy with pointy ends. As long as possible WITHOUT becoming Brush 'n Grow length.
Cutie Mark 8D: A sprig of holly with two red berries
Brief Character Description: Capricious and mischievous but good-natured and warmhearted. Something something kind of a holiday themed companion to Diamond Dust, she's kind of a personality embodiment of the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Present + some holly symbolism (protection and junk)
