I was going to name her something more poetic. A name like "Lotus Shimmer" or "Violet Leaf" but... I want to be at least a little honest with this drawing. Not creating the pony I'd like to be but creating the pony of what I would be. With my problems and all intact. My same side hair curl, wild mane and tail, and spotted grey coloring. I figure, if I was a horse I'd either be some sort of chestnut color or a grey appaloosa. I know technically a MLP is supposed to have a single color coat.. And something a little happier-toned but... Screw the rules~

I'll start off by explaining the name. I've had the wish every so often that I was mute. I tend to cover over my anxiousness, awkward feelings in public or extreme uncomfortable feelings with loud, boisterous talking. I grew up around guys, had to learn how to raise my voice above the crowd if I ever planned to get a single word in. Now though, I hang out with more girls than before I tend to... Be seen the wrong way. The way I dress and the way I act clashes and throws people off a lot of the time. But all in all, the grass is not as green on the other side as I think it could be.

I'm sure after a week of being unable to speak I'd go mad, simply for not being able to sing. Or missing out on chances to make my friends laugh. Over all though, I'm a quiet person when I'm alone. I keep to myself and don't mind staying that way for long periods of time. But when I do get lonely, it hits me hard and I need company or attention. It isn't that I don't like talking. I love talking. I just have a hard time doing it comfortably.

Her flank mark is basically what her name says, a squiggle. A circular blob of seemingly messy lines. Not exactly a "cutie" mark, but it was less frilly than the lotus flower I wanted to draw there originally. This ties in to my emotional confusion at times, the pencil lines of drawing and my over all mentality of questioning everything. Also something which clashes and I wonder if it gets in the way of me being happy. But I have plenty to be happy over. Plenty to be thankful for, plenty to smile about. So, Wordless Squiggle is not an emo-pony of any sort. Just a very tired one, you can see the dark circles under her eyes.

And why the brown hooves? I like brown. I symbolize with the color (along with purple and green) and try to squeeze it into any 'sona of myself I make. I almost colored Squiggle's mane and tail brown but then I might as well have been drawing a regular horse with all the muted colors I was slapping on her.

So... Yeah. Thanks for reading~
