Physical Description:
Ivory sports a somewhat smaller stature for her age, especially
when compared side by side to her two older sisters. While some
might consider it an abnormality, others simply contribute it
towards being a “late bloomer”. Along with her
less-than-average size, Ivory is considered an oddity amongst
her peers, taking features from both her Pegasus mother and
Noctral father. Her lean and naturally toned body gives her an
agile form, a testament to years of constant activity, and her
wings are conditioned more for speed and endurance rather than
raw strength. Her coat, unlike most Noctrals, dons a
silvery-blue sheen that compliments her soft, golden eyes and
dark, midnight blue mane and tail. Yet, despite her key Noctral
features, Ivory did not inherit their unmistakable eyes. As a
result, Ivory might often be mistaken for a Pegasus if she hides
her wings, although some sharp-eyed ponies would be quick to
question her prominent, fur-tipped ears.
Special Talent:
Ivory’s talents revolve around her ability to put on a
show. She sings, dances, performs, and acts for anypony willing
to watch or listen, sometimes even setting up events to bring a
little more life into Ponyville. Her true special talent,
however, manifests itself when she performs under the light of
the moon. When underneath the moon’s silvery radiance,
Ivory’s coat gleams and reflects its light, allowing her
the ability to briefly “trace” patterns in the night
sky similar to that of long-exposure “light
drawings”.
Likes:
Dancing, singing, performing for other ponies, anything that has
sugar or caffeine, watching the sunrise, astrology, and spending
time with her sisters.
Dislikes:
Loud noises, bright flashes, being picked on because of her
smaller build or race, any kind of violence or potential
disruption of peace, and her sisters’ seemingly endless
schemes to get her to join the Lunar Guard.
Strengths:
While she’s not quite a Rainbow Dash, Ivory can keep up
with most of the quickest fliers Ponyville has to offer. Her
small frame allows her to be extremely lithe and acrobatic,
capable of pulling off flashy maneuvers that she sometimes uses
in her performances. She has a somewhat mild affinity for wind
and can sometimes manipulate it if the circumstances are right,
although nowhere near to the degree Pegasi could. Ivory also has
rather impressive knowledge of stars, constellations, and their
locations.
Weaknesses:
Ivory’s biggest vice would be her neutrality. She dislikes
confrontation and would rather back out of an argument than pick
sides. She tries to keep everypony happy, but ultimately gets
worn down in the process as she’s often forced to play
both sides of the fence. When faced with an overly-difficult
problem, Ivory has the tendency to shut down and ignore it,
allowing it to grow bigger until she’s forced to
acknowledge it. And while very rare, Ivory can be pushed to
throw brief fits of anger.
Fears:
Above all, she fears losing her two older sisters, whether it be
“in the line of duty” or otherwise.
Bio:
“Proud Noctral, Honorary Pegasus, and one-hundred percent
hard working pony.”
Born and raised in Manehattan to a Pegasus mother and a Noctral
father, Ivory Star is the youngest, and perhaps the most
peculiar out of the three sisters. Her rather unique appearance
garnered both positive and negative attention throughout her
life, especially during her filly years. Although she was often
safe-guarded by her parents and her two older siblings (Indigo
and Isabell), Ivory always seemed to find herself on the
receiving end of a taunt or a bad joke. Other children, and even
some adults often took a stab at her diminutive size or her
“supposed” Noctral-like features, or lack-thereof,
in some cases. It took some time, effort, and courage, but Ivory
eventually overcame the adversity by accepting her identity and
proving that she was just as hard of a worker as those around
her.
Ivory spent most of her time working and exploring around her
father’s workshop on the outskirts of Manehattan, tagging
along with one or both of her sisters into town to visit their
mother’s coffee shop every chance she was given. She
despised being forbidden to travel alone, but Manehattan was a
big, and sometimes dangerous place. Despite her limitations,
Ivory almost always found some sort of distraction to sneak out
and explore, which often ended up with her in some kind of
trouble.
As time went on and Ivory and her two siblings grew, they all
began to explore various venues for talent. Isabell, the eldest
sister, naturally discovered her talent and earned her cutie
mark first, followed shortly by Indigo. Ivory, unfortunately,
took much longer to earn her mark. After all, she wasn’t
strong and persuasive like Isabell, nor mechanically inclined
like Indigo. Ivory tried just about everything she could think
of; from working alongside her parents and sisters to testing
her speed against the tall-tales of Rainbow Dash, Ivory
couldn’t seem to find something she truly enjoyed.
Not long after Ivory’s many failed experiments, her two
sisters were called to enlist in the Lunar Guard under the
recommendation of their father, a former trainer and Captain
himself. Not wanting to be separated, the news only renewed
Ivory’s fervor to find her true calling to the point of
exhaustion. It was then that her family intervened to set her
path straight.
In hindsight, Ivory’s flaw would have been easy to see.
She absolutely adored her sisters. She wanted to be strong and
smart like them. She wanted to protect them like they had
protected her. She wanted to go train with them. She wanted to
be useful like them. She wanted to be them… But what had
Ivory given in return? Joy. Happiness. A smile to look forward
to, and a unique charm that just seemed to make the whole day
worthwhile. Not just for them, but for everypony she met. Ivory
needed to pick her own path… And that’s just what
she did.
Ivory earned her mark working at a local harbor guiding weary
sailors and fliers to port. Many were foreigners in need of
directions to the nearest market, bar, or bed, and Ivory had a
special quality that made each and every one of them feel
welcome in an otherwise daunting metropolis. She would sometimes
even sing or dance for them, putting on a little show that would
warm even the coldest of hearts.
During one particular night, the harbor’s beacon
malfunctioned and went down, sending numerous workers into a
panic as they attempted to undergo repairs. Undeterred, Ivory
personally guided each sailor to port, using her own gleaming
coat under the light of the moon as her own beacon. Ivory knew
that her coat could reflect the moon’s rays, but she never
really thought anything about it, much less find a use for it.
The others, however, were stunned by its beauty. After that
night, Ivory earned her cutie-mark and was given the nickname
“The Star of Manehattan”.
Ivory continued to work for a couple more years before she
eventually moved to Ponyville, mostly for a quieter change in
scenery as Manehattan was a bit too much for her to bear at
times. She currently resides on the outskirts of Ponyville and
works nights for their Weather Team.
Extra Details:
Usually fun loving and carefree. While very quiet and reserved
when she first meets somepony, she will quickly become a great
source of entertainment and complete randomness once she feels
comfortable enough.
