Rose's Characters

[roserebellion]

(posting Coony first since she's needed the most for this story arch)

Name: Coon Skin
Age: 27 when first stamped, currently 30, was about 7-8 in the early 80's
Type: G1 Earthling
Body color: Soft gray, think of older raccoon pelts, with a black patches over each eye, giving her the raccoon 'bandit mask' look
Hair color: both main and tail are in alternating stripes of black and white.
Eye color: Gold
Symbol: A black raccoon silhouette sitting on a black log in front of a white moon
Powers: Well, the uncanny ability to be super sneaky at stealing
Birthplace: Relatively in an area called Tanuki Meadows, she was not born specifically inside the official settlement of the area, but out in the woods where the groups of ponies avoiding the law hide

She was born first out of four children to parents Hide and Fawning. Her father, Hide, bore similar raccoon resemblance, while her mother, Fawning, held more earthy tones and was more deer like in appearance. Coon's younger siblings included 2 sisters, Sly Eye (18) and Doting Doe (8), and one brother, Crafty Critter (14). Sly Eye and Crafter Critter share a raccoon resemblance with Coon, while Doting Doe takes after her mother.

The area of her birth, Tanuki Meadows, is somewhat of a "Treasure Hunter's Guild." Most of the neighboring residents scattered outside the initial settlement have some thievery background or another. Coon's family is no different. Both her parents were thieves, and from an early age, passed their skills onto Coon, as well as her siblings.

It was Coon's inexplicable attraction to shiny objects that had earned her the training that she had, and the knack for spotting riches has a tendency to become more of a curse than a blessing. More often then not, Coon finds herself in some rather compromising positions concerning her wanting of expensive items and the world about her. Usually, she cannot contain that urge to steal, and it usually gives cause for her to move about in order to avoid law enforcement.

Despite being a capable pony and rather happy currently, her childhood wasn't too keen. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been worse. Because of her boyish ways, Coon had been quickly labeled in outsider among her peers aside a select few. A growing gender confusion plus the traumatic addition of her first sibling had left her isolated from most things, including the attention of her parents. These issues were eventually resolved in her mid teens when she came out of the closet and after she had discovered siblings weren't all that bad.

In the end, her relationship with her siblings and her equal passion for the stealing brought her closer to her parents. Through her late teens, she obtained "on the job" experience by going out on schedule robberies with her parents. After eventually learning the ropes, Coon went off on her own for her own robbery endeavors. She'd managed to travel to almost every corner of the world, finding wonderful treasures and many a mare to flirt with. However, she had a tendency to leave more girlfriends than coming back with more treasure.

In her early twenties, Coon Skin had tried to work a family with a nice pinch of pocket money. Eventually she had formed a relationship with the daughter of said family, Foxtrot, and was more interested in her than what she could earn. Coon was prepared to propose and leave her life of crime for the girl, but the relationship ended when she caught by Foxtrot after having been duped into robing her.

She returned home afterwords and back to her life of crime. For a while she teamed with her parents again. But after an unfortunate error by her father (whom was caught and sentenced 10-20 years) in the heist of an armored car, Coon was on the move again to avoid confrontation.

At 27, she eventually came to Ponyville in order to lay low from a band of enforcers. Due to an evening of fine beer (or not so fine), she'd managed to stumble into the battle against the Dark Rainbow. Mostly she helped evacuate hostages, but she had managed to kill a Dark Rainbow ally, Reaper. To this day Coon still has nightmares of it.

Shortly after that battle, Coon Skin alongside Bonfire encountered the Outer Edge's "Ghosty," in which they both earned matching golden bracelets and knives.

During the Mage wars, Coon had objected to taking sides with any of the Gods, staying close to the Rainbow. During this battle, she'd fought with several, but had eventually dueled it out with Twinkle-Eyed unicorn, Jol, that used mental illusions and powers to battle. Coon eventually killed the unicorn, but not after watching the illusion of killing her girlfriend at the time, Stokely.

Since then, her relation with Stokely has faltered due to Coon inability to deal with what she had done to the unicorn. Unfortunately her love life would have suffered regardless because of a business related error on her part. Unable to stop herself, Coon had stolen Jewel's amulet. Chase was given, eventually she was apprehended, and forced to suffer the fate of being jailed by Moe.

Razz and Roxy came to her rescue, literally springing her from jail, and enlisting her talents as a thief to help retrieve the Rainbow of Light from Ratskull.

Currently she is on the pirate ship along with the champions, giving chase to the rainbow.

(dies, I don't even want to try listing ponies she's flirted with.)

Edit: Thought I'd add some notes...

In appearence, Coon Skin is quite masculine. Her hooves tend to have that shaggyness on the G1 boys. In almost every situation, Coon *is* mistaken for a boy.

Name: Rose Rebellion
Nicknames: Rose to most, Rebel to her folks, and Rosey-live to Glayse XD
Age: 18 when first stamped, currently 21
Type: Twice As Fancy G1 Unicorn
Symbol: White rose petals along the hip and over the back, and going near the the front legs. One white rose petal is on the left cheek. All petals are outlined with a pink color.
Colors: Red body, with white mane and tail.
Birthplace: Dream Valley
Powers: Rose's powers dabble into working with plant life. The most common example of her powers is to cause plants to bloom, growing faster, and remaining healthier. In battle, she's come to use this ability in order to restrain/strangle opponents.
Personality: Rose tends to be a very hard working individual, a trait seemingly learned from the competitive nature of her parents, and has a knack for being rather determined. Her determination is rather more a streak of rebellious attitude. So for being rather caring and friendly, Rose can be as stubborn as a mule.

Rose Rebellion is the only child born to Violets-are-Blue and Roses-are-Red, father and mother respectively. She was born in Dream Valley, and up until her move to Ponyville, had lived there her entire life. Her childhood as was most normal ponies living there at the time: a peace occasionally interrupted by the evils that lurked there.

For the most part, Rose had been sheltered from most of the occurrences that tended to plague the Valley. One thing Rose was not sheltered from was the sudden onslaught of the Smooze. At some point, she had been infected with the stuff, having initially mistaken it for jam and had it smothered over her face after an attempt to eat it.

Of the more peaceful areas of her childhood, Rose tended to spend it with her "Aunt Sugarberry," a friend of the family, and her daughter. A daddy's girl at heart, more often she would cry for Violet in need of any assistance or fun when peers were not present.

As a teenager, Rose became more competitive and active in different events, specifically floral competitions. She was hooked, and her parents supported the hobby as they had their own sports they were involved in at her age. In school, Rose tended more towards thought-to-be male subjects, such as math and science as opposed to history and languages. For a while, Rose was certain that she would major in Biology, but is currently undecided as far as an actual major.

Before moving out, Rose had a falling out with her mother concerning her continuation with schooling. Her mother wanted her to continue right after High School, but Rose was almost determined to take a break from education a couple years. After all, she just went the past 13 years of her life, what was a year or two between?

So once Rose had graduated High School, she spent her saved cash and was determined to move out and to live on her own. Eventually she settled in Ponyville, at a small little cottage in the Outer Edges. Originally Rose had told everyone that her reason for the big move was due to her political ideals and how she liked the form of government established in Ponyville as opposed to the aged ways of Dream Valley. But those who knew her and her parents were easy to distinguish the drift between them.

Upon moving to Ponyville, Rose quickly accepted a job at Bloomin' Blossoms. Shortly after moving in, however, Rose had succeeded unwittingly involving herself in the Dark Rainbow's run of the city. She had unknowingly shared her bed with Glayse, the dark orange stripe, and had fallen in love with him. Regardless that he was soon unveiled as being evil, Rose could not stop herself from seeing something inside him. After Glayse had died, Rose discovered herself pregnant with his foal.

Tsuwari, her son, was born on the Festival of Light's eve, literally in the bathroom of Sparklework's Confectionery Shop. As a result, Rose's lifestyle has changed drastically, as well as her relationship with her parents. Initially her father was pleased of the new arrival, her mother was not so forthcoming. Since then, Rose-are-Red has opened up to little Tsuwari, but has not been so forgiving of Rose and her "indecent" behavior.

When the old Gods had moved into Ponyville, it is with Set that Rose threw her lot. Having the son of a tangible, evil being yielded her certain responsibilities. And Rose had hoped that in reward for her service to Set, she would receive knowledge on what made the evil mind in order to prevent such an occurrence from developing in Tsuwari.

As a result of Set and Silverfal, Glayse was given new life, and eventually wound back up into Rose's. Once the Mage War was over, Glayse had taken refuge in Rose's house, and despite everything she knew to be weary of, eventually welcomed him back.

Currently the three have held somewhat of a family. Rose, although knowing of Glayse's personality, willingly allows herself to be disillusioned by him. At the same time, she is torn between telling Tsuwari what makes him so different and sheltering him longer. There have been discussions between Rose and Glayse of a second foul, but Rose has been not found of the matter at all.

Name: Peri Winkle
Age: 32 when first stamped, currently 35
Sex: male
Type: G3 Jewel Pony
Symbol: Green gem amongst 4 swirls? I'm not sure what to call the decorative pattern.
Colors: body is white, hair is green/blue/drk blue/, and eyes are blue
Powers: A rarely used form of telekenisis, taught to him by Inti
Description/temperament: jokingly dramatic in playful situations, but can and will be serious when there’s a time and need
Birthplace (or place of the majority of residence): Born in the Bijou (French: Jewel) peninsula east side of the country, moved to Ponyville 5 (now 8) years ago.
History: Although Peri never remembered his father; he played quite an impact on his life. During the age where one is too young to remember much of anything, his father had broken out in a madden rage (later to be discovered by doctors to have been caused by a brain tumor) and as a result, Peri had lost his left eye. Of course he hides it with an elegantly crafted glass eye, but he can't help wearing a patch for laughs. Peri doesn't hold a bitter grudge to his old man for what had happened to him. His mother always told him that he'd been a good man, and when Peri was old enough he understood that the tumor caused a lot of mental problems for him. His dad had died when he was two.

Without a father figure, Peri has leaned more towards the life not involving things such as sports and other typical activities. Instead, he became interested in choir and theatrical performances, which made a transition towards his adult life and became a career. Now he is in the soap opera, Following A Storm, in which he plays Stalactite, a mare whom had undergone a sex change. Since the Studio 13 (where it was being filmed) was located just a 45 min drive from Ponyville, Peri moved in to better suit his career.

Recently his agent has been trying to hook Peri in a gig for a “historical reenactment of the battle against the Dark Rainbow,” a reenactment that could be compared to our civil war reenactments so many are fond of. And Peri wouldn’t mind hooking any extra jobs, either. His mother is still knee deep in dept for his father’s medical bills (trying to remove the tumor and what not), so when Peri has the extra money, he sends some home to her.

Peri's place of residency had been Celebration Castle, however during the period of it's destruction and reconstruction, Peri resided in the Nursery.

During the Mage Wars, Peri had become a mage of Inti's, and had spent his time trying to aid Inti and Brigid best he could. His relationship with Jewel had also developed, and in lew of Jewel's momentary death, was quite distraught and at wits end.

After the wars, Peri continued his relationship with Jewel. The relationship is currently strained and is sort of on hold whilst Jewel is off with the Champions in their quest to retrieve the Rainbow of Light. In the meantime, he is trying to remain of high hopes (though initially he had resorted to drinking), and he is doing better. Currently Kimono is rooming with him at the castle, and Peri is in the posession of Jewel's amulet. Amr, Jewel's infamous griffon, is also rooming with Peri, rather against his will.

Name: Wysteria
Age: 25 when first stamped, currently 27
Type: G3 Earth Pony
Symbol: Wysteria flowers
Colors: purple body with white/pink/purple mane and tail
Powers: A constricted form of "prophetic" abilities allowing Wysteria to catch glimpses of the past. Can be summoned only when her eyes are covered. This ability was recently discovered under Yama's care.
Birthplace: Ponyville
History: Wysteria is the child of Dr. Molar, a Ponyville dentist, and Dr. Thalmus, local psychologist. Her earlier childhood was typical of most children. Most time was spent in the presence of a baby sitter or in a daycare, while her parents worked within their practices. In absence of her parents, Wysteria interacted with other foals her age, but in most cases has always been shy to warm up to strangers. As in any childhood, she had her fair share of randomly insane incidents of dangerous trouble, usually her hand in these cases was egged on by a more daring and adventurous playmate.

Unfortunately, like most average families, in her pre-teens her parents divorced due to irreconcilable differences. Her father was married to his practice, in more or less words. Because of his lack of free time in rearing Wysteria, her mother had been given custody willingly. Although, she had not been so willing upon weekend visitations. He was given visitation rights regardless.

Through her teens Wysteria tended to be drawn more towards her mother, whom seemed not to condone her for some of her unrealistic dreaming and shy personality. Her father tends to be distant and too involved with analyzing others rather than interacting with them, and so for that Wysteria has tended to remove him from her life as she feels he views her as an object than a being.

In her college years, Wysteria had tried to go for a medical degree, influenced by both parents in someway to pursue a scientific field. In her free time, she had taken to art as a way to explore the dreamer side to her. Eventually her majors switched, despite the tough decision on her part, and she had majored in fine arts. She works primarily out of her living room in one of the Ponyville apartment complexes. With her low income and lifestyle, however, Wysteria's been struggling with the thought of finishing her medical degree and switching professions for the better part of 3 years.

In light of the recent "attacks" on Ponyville, Wysteria's involvement at first had been little. She had aided primarily in the medical aid of those injured in the attack at Celebration Castle. During the Mage War, Wysteria had initially been a mage of Calliope, but was threatened by Yama to join his ranks. It was through him that she had discovered an unusual power she'd always had, as well as some darker personality hidden inside her.

It had been Wysteria to kill Yama at the end of battle in the town square with her disbelief of him. Shortly after the battle Wysteria had convinced Silver Shadow to bring her along to Fewa for multiple reasons, of those to note is her obsession with him and the hopes to learn more about her new abilities.
