Gender: Mare
Age: 25

Snowflake has a turquoise coloured pelt, with a short and messy
glacial blue mane that is usually being held in place with snow
goggles, a toque, or a combination of the two. Her tail is
medium length and a little more well kept. Both the mane and
tail have a single off-white stripe going through them. Lean and
toned, having never been one to slack off with her daily
exercise routine. Her eyes are a matching shade to her goggles,
a yellowish gold color.
Special Talent: Her ability as a snowboarder, as well as her
remarkable aptitude and capability in winter conditions, which
is represented by three snowflakes of differing sizes.
Likes: Snowflake enjoys several genres of music, particularly
house, techno, drum and bass, glitchhop, and dubstep. She can
often be found partaking in activities associated with her
talent, or anything remotely related to winter, or frequenting
popular social events and parties.
Dislikes: Snowflake dislikes classical music, her own cooking,
ponies telling her her dreams are worthless, and those ponies
that try to live as safely and risk-free as possible.
Strengths: Her hardiness in winter weather, general
understanding of a few weather patterns in the mountains, making
herself known in various parties. Her stubborn nature in the
face of challenge, while not at all helped by her recklessness,
allows her to face many dangerous situations without second
thought, regardless of if she has a chance to succeed. Her
winter job requires her to have a good proficiency in first aid,
and thus it was one of the few things she actually buckled down
to study to great effect. Oh yeah, and she is pretty good at
snowboarding.
Weaknesses: Snowflake is easily distracted by things that she
enjoys, prone to slacking off in current tasks in order to enjoy
other things. As a result, this makes her a procrastinator,
resulting in things being left half-finished or of a lesser
quality than they really should be.
She is also quite reckless, and a good multitude of her
filly-hood injuries are a result of this. Her "try anything
once" attitude has often left her in worse situations than when
she started, at best a reprimanding, at worst a few broken
bones. She is ashamed of none of her mistakes, and given the
opportunity, she would rant for hours on how she broke nearly
every single bone in her body at least once.
With that, we come to the fact that Snowflake likes to
over-exaggerate, particularly for her own personal gain. After
all, what harm is there in decreasing one's fastest record time
by a second or two? Surely she's rounding in her favor. Five
seconds? Eh, an approximation, she might be a little excited.
She has learned to tone down her excitement while she is working
with injured ponies in the mountains in order to stop them from
panicking, but it doesn't stop her from misdiagnosing a sprained
ankle for a broken one.
Terrible does not even begin to describe the quality of her home
cooking. There is a reason her diet consists mostly of
pre-packaged foods and other relatively "easy" things to cook.
Don't call them easy around Snowflake though, she will find a
way to botch it without trying. Burned hashbrowns, cement-like
loaves of bread, over-cooked vegetables, under-cooked pastries,
too much salt, and her own claim on several ruined sets of pots
and pans. Rumour has it that she burnt her breakfast cereal when
she mistook it for a bowl of oatmeal in a sleepy haze.
Fears: Rocks on snow covered slopes; she has had her fair share
of encounters with them, and she has seen and heard from others
just how lucky she has been. She is also afraid of losing her
sponsors, as they are one of her biggest sources of income.
Bio: Snowflake was born into one of the more well off families
in Trottingham, her father and mother both being successful
business ponies. She was a little rebel as a filly, and a
delinquent as she grew up, openly defying her parents and their
vision of her becoming a well-mannered and perfect mare.
Snowflake was enrolled in boarding school after boarding school,
being expelled from a few of them and suspended many more times,
as her drive for an adrenaline rush caused her to attempt many
reckless stunts and activities that usually ended up with broken
bones and a property damage bill.
Finally fed up with her un-ladylike actions, her parents gave
her an ultimatum. Stay in school, or be booted from the house.
Resentfully, she forced herself to calm down, and was able to
make her grades and continue her education. That is until a
family business trip to Stalliongrad changed all of that. Having
no time to watch their daughter, they gave her some bits and
told her to find some way to entertain herself. She did, with
the first thing she saw that looked dangerous and fun.
Outfitting herself with a rental board and an all day lift pass,
she took to the mountains like a natural, and after a
particularly risky stunt, she earned her cutie mark in
snowboarding.
After that, and witnessing a few competitions over the coming
years, Snowflake made it her goal to become the best in the
competitive snowboarding world. This did not sit well with her
parents at all when she confronted them about it. Once more they
gave her an ultimatum. Stop this stupid sport and grow up, or
leave.
At age twenty-three and a simple university degree to her name
as well as her life savings, she left her parents.
What followed was a year of writing to various potential
sponsors, hoping to be able to finally participate in a
competition and make a name for herself as she worked at a
mountain resort. Having no prior experience in competitions, she
was turned down by every corporation, and was left to use what
she saved up herself to pay the entry fee to what she hoped was
her one big break. Making fifth place in a freestyle competition
in what was hopefully the beginning of her long career, she was
finally able to draw the attention of some sponsors as an
up-and-coming rookie, who then began funding her trips to
various other competitions. All this time now, she trains, she
continues to become better. She now lives for her sport, and
other various reckless activities that she enjoyed when she was
younger, such as partying.
Extra Details: Is often seen wearing a light grey wool toque, as
well as a set of black snow goggles with lenses tinted to be a
similar shade as her eyes. Snowflake also speaks with a heavy
Trottingham accent, and her sentences are sometimes laced with
cockney slang.
