Description Name:  Key String


Nickname:  Bowen


General Age Group:    --


Species: Earth Pony


Job/Talent: Musician/Violinist


Hobby/Dreams: To become a known musician


Residence: Ponyville, near the market in a shabby run down house


Personality: Bowen on first glance seems to be fairly cold or quiet and ignores a lot of things he's told or asked to do, brushing things off as unimportant if it does not involve his music.

However, deep down, he actually has a very warm heart, and has a strong sense of justice if something doesn't seem right.
He is also very protective of those he becomes close to, but it does indeed take a bit before he does warm up to ponies.


Likes: His Violin and Piano. And his little brother. Has a secret love for sweet foods.


Dislikes: A lot. He really dislikes being critisized though.

Extra Info: As a foal, Key grew up in Canterlot with his parents, originally taking part in a school for young musicians. He was doing quite well in school but was eventually picked on for being too studious and passionate with his work, enough that he soon dropped out with his violin and returned him.
He was scolded by his parents for losing such an opportunity and was told to return to his schooling, but he quickly refused, becoming hateful toward his family and running away from home.

During his young teen years, Key picked up on the name "Bowen" and played on the streets of Canterlot for a long while to earn bits, soon enough gaining the amount he needed to get a home far from his family, this place being Ponyville. Of course, to his disappointment, the home advertised was not quite the home he expected, it was pretty run down but it was all he could afford if he wanted to persue his music.

Playing in ponyville for years gave him enough bits to add to his old home though, finding a piano in a rather nice shop and bringing it home to practice with on the side. His life becoming much brighter as this time past and soon enough gaining enough experience to be happy with his music as well.


Now, a young adult, Bowen plays his violin on the streets of towns he visits, in hopes to become more recognized to prove to his family that he hadn't needed the school.

He dabbles with music, occasionally bouncing between his Violin and his Piano, as well as singing along with the tunes he plays. However, it seems that his talent mostly lies with his violin that he carries almost everywhere he goes in a large saddlebag strapped to his side shaped much like a violin case.

Bowen does not keep his mane very well kept, it's often messy or ruffled. He does seem to wear a sweater often when out and about, most likely to keep warm in cooler climates.

He often has issues communicating as well, occasionally saying things he doesn't mean and coming off as rude to some ponies. It drags him down a lot but he tries to work it out the moment he realizes what he said was wrong.

Oh gosh, she's beautiful
And such a creative cutiemark too! She's got such a great balance between detail and simplicity (color wise for simplicity), it makes her all the more amazingly gorgeous ♥

Sorry for my late reply ^^'
and thank you for such praises, I didn't expect you'd like her that much♥
I wanted to change her a bit since I thought that maybe she's too plain, but that makes her stand out in pastel-y, candy coloured little herd ;D

Burgondy (Don't ask me why. I just thought of it when I saw him)
Earth Wave
Muddy Waters
Little Foot (Again, don't ask Idk)
Sivic
Lucas Perk

Eh, not my best of names

And he could be a singer, (All I can think of when I see him is college student *facedesk*), he'd make a good town guard (Not royal guard, but not police, so kinda of a guard for anything really)

I've added something to him, perhaps it'll help you think up more names?   Q3Q

I'm planning to have him as a singer, yes, but not just that.
I'm thinking of having him be able to play the piano and violin too.  (Piano more on the side, Violin being main instrument).
He'll be a serious looking stallion with a gentle heart on the inside
