Here she is! Another face most of you should be familiar with. Funnily enough, I have more ideas for the non-canon characters than the canon ones lol. PSA: Zooming in gives a bit of a crisper image.

Man. Flurry is a really pretty pony. Her palette is just so perfect - which is probably a result of her being made to sell toys, as a child of two parents who were also made to sell toys. She was super relaxing to draw! Sketched her while watching the debate.

I'll give you what I have for her for now, but it's admittedly not much yet.

-Flurry is, and was born as, an alicorn. As such, she's the miracle baby of the Empire, and doted on by absolutely everyone (and I mean everyone). While not conceited, she is used to high maintenance and constant praise and attention, so she's very socially stunted outside of blind adoration. How to hold normal conversation??? It's a shame, because outside of this she's actually very sweet.
-None of her siblings are lucky enough to be born alicorns, except for one other. This bugs Sterling especially, who takes her role as a princess way too seriously for her age. She'd KILL for those wings.
-She's one of the older (the oldest?) ShiningDence spawns. Also one of the reasons why she is adored so much - her birth alone was enough to inspire joy in the crystal ponies, as the probable heir and firstborn.
-As an addition to the previous statement: Flurry initially loathed the idea of siblings. She was the baby, wasn't she? Why should she have to share all of her attention with who knows how many others?? Suffice to say, she grew to appreciate the company, especially when she realized it was a concept she'd have to get used to with subsequent additions to her family.
-Flurry was very, very sheltered growing up. She's hardly even been outside of the Empire, except to visit Auntie Twilight, whom she loves very much. Protecting her in an uncertain climate (aka, the various disasters that constantly sprung up over the course of the show, not to mention the uncertainty of the whereabouts of Sombra [more on this, I kind of reject the final season bringing him back hahaha]) was top priority for Cadence and Shining. This contributes to her lack of intrapersonal skills now, even though the current era of peace grants her considerably more freedom.
-Flurry is naive as hell. In her own crystal-coated happy world, everything is perfect. She hasn't been exposed to hardship, being a princess and all, so it's unfathomable for her to imagine ponies with terrible, terrible lives. War? Famine? Poverty, crime, death? What's that? Everything looks fine to me!
-Despite being an alicorn, Flurry is not a master flyer nor adept spellcaster. She hasn't trained especially hard in either of these areas, nor is naturally gifted in either. Of the two, she's better at flying by a hair.
-She's... still a blank flank. Approaching adulthood. This is her one defining flaw, one blemish on her perfect image. While being a late bloomer isn't as uncommon as it's made out to be in Equestria, most everyone agrees she should have discovered her talent by now - hopefully one that will permit her to be a great and prosperous leader. If something were to happen to her parents, the crystal ponies may be hesitant to let her take the throne without a mark, seeing it as a great symbol of immaturity and incompetence to rule. Her siblings would be considered before her - even other staff in the castle might be seen as more fitting.
-Physical features rundown! Aside from her trademark teal stripe, Flurry hardly inherited anything from Shining. Everything from her bouncy, shiny hair, to illustrious wings, to her natural gradiation seems to have come from Cadence. Even her markings are more princess-esque in nature. Her hooves are not cloven like her twin sisters', and her tail is full and stumpy like most ponies' (and her pegasus-born mum). One other thing, however, that sticks out as all Shining is her horn shape - straight and pointed, compared to her mother's rounded spiral look, and Sterling/Gold Lily's classical curves.
-Bling isn't a rarity for her. While she doesn't overdo it with the accesories (like Sterling), she's more likely to wear her regalia than not. She's always had nice things, why not wear them?

Others in the Royal Crystal Family (redesign/nextgen series)!

Sterling is almost done!! I think I've got the design where I want it, but I want to make sure I have an idea for some accompanying background text like the above for her before I post.

I'm open for customs and commissions! Take a look if you're interested in my art! -> www.deviantart.com/doodlebugdr…

I've gotten a request for a tag list for my deviations! I know this is more of an adopts thing, but if you'd like an extra reminder for my uploads, let me know and I'll be more than happy to add you!
