Dig A Little Deeper
Personality: Magnetic North is a Manehattener through and through. He's gruff, he's tough, and he doesn't like when ponies get in his way...and he'll tell you! Under that rough exterior, North is an honest and loyal pony who would do anything for his friends and family. He's not afraid to speak his mind and his blunt ways often turn off others, so he doesn't have many friends. He's not too concerned with that, though, since his job takes up most of his time. He does have a soft spot for birds, though, and can be found during his break sharing his lunch with the pigeons that make their homes in the skyscrapers of the city.
Appearance: North is based on a
Norweigian Fjord horse, so he's built very sturdy and strong. His coat is
taxi cab yellow that starts to fade to white at his knees. His hooves are black and always well polished. His muzzle fades to white on his nose and mouth. His mane is both white and black, and he keeps it cropped short and cut in a
checkered pattern. His forelock he keeps a bit longer, though, as seen
here. His white tail is kept short so it doesn't get caught in the wheels of his cab.
Cutie Mark: An ornate compass rose.
Special Talent: Perfect sense of direction; can locate north without assistance from the sun, stars, or a compass.
History: Born in Manehatten, North has the city in his blood. He grew up to be tough and independent and doesn't take nothin' from nobody. He led a fairly simple life, going to school and taking up the family job of running a taxi for tourists and the Manehatten elite alike. His special talent really helped him build a name for himself, and locals know him by name and seek him out now thanks to his quick travel time.
Likes: Tourists, good tippers, green lights, vacations away from the city, keeping himself and his cab neat, birds.
Dislikes: Slow drivers, pedestrians, bad tippers, dishonesty, ponies that are full of themselves.
