Just had a pony moment and felt like briefly revisiting Starskip, a pony OC I made a fair while back.
For those that remember her, she hasn't changed all too much. I shifted her pallet to be a bit more colorful, but keeping it subdued. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this or not. She is still a crossbreed between an earth and Pegasus pony, her father being a rather large-set draft type, giving her her girth. She's a touch smaller than big mac, and about a head above the average mare.
She's not very fast, and cannot fly, and can barely manage to glide or walk through clouds. This, along her girth and heritage, as well as her convex face, she was picked at growing up. This resulted in her being a little bitter and closing herself off emotionally, and stifling her personal growth. Because she never really blossomed metaphorically, she still isn't sure of what she wants to do with her life, rendering her a blankflank well into adulthood.
She lives in cannonical Ponyville, and actually doesn't care too much for the main six, seeing them as a rather rowdy group of friends who tend to stir up trouble. She finds Pinkie Pie extensively annoying, but rarely expresses her opinion of others to any but a small pink unicorn mare that often accompany her in the few times she is seen out in public.
She tends to have a rather grumbly, muttering tone, a terseness to her that often makes conversations end rather quickly. The majority will think this is just because she's snooty or haughty, but this is actually out of a social fear of being abused and bullied, or looked down upon like when she was a filly. To avoid this, she shuts down and simply pushes others away with harsh words and an outwardly unfriendly demeanor. Yet, from time to time, she is seen with a much softer expression, even a rare smile, usually in the company of infantile foals or the aforementioned unicorn mare.
She used to work as a librarian in her youth, but as her size became too much of an encumberment, quit several years before Twilight Sparkle entered Ponyville. Currently she works as a night guard at the ponyville clinic, where her imposing size, gruff way of speech, and bittered glare often make the most unruly of patients settle and take their medications, rather than possibly get into a scuffle with the dusky mare.
Surprisingly, she isn't much for actual conflict, choosing to usually brace herself and let her size be a deterrent, than actually get into a scrap. Though if pushed to it, she tends to simply charge with her head down and sling ponies onto their backs, or rear up and use her forelegs to the the same before stepping over them, fencing them between her legs to they cannot fully get to their feet, and just let them uselessly struggle until they tire themselves out and give up.
Starskip has a few guilty pleasures. She enjoys music, especially classic instrumental and acapella. Cooking is something she takes a small bit of enjoyment in as well, with a deep love for potato dishes. She will also never admit it, but she deeply loves being preened or simply just resting quietly alongside someone.
Wow that's a little ramble.. Then again its 4am and my thoughts aren't really gathered up at the moment. Hmn. I might revist the revist again later, I don't know. :P
