Description I mostly use this OC as my sona, but I made her a little story

Her name:
Her family calls her Bright Feather, and this was the name her parents wanted for her when she was born, but her papers got mixed up with the papers of some other foal so she is officially named Pencil Case. She decided to adopt this name after receiving her cutie mark, but her parents and sister still call her Bright Feater and always will

Family:
Mother: has a special talent in Cloud Sculpture (WIP)
Father: Is a former racer that retired after having kids, now he is a mechanic and together with her wife they do cloud vehicles (WIP)
Younger Sister: Rain Drop (?) has a special talent in growing plants. She uses her natural pegasi ability to control the weather to help plants grow. Has a farm that she shares with a Earth pony "friend" (WIP, but I'm more sure about this one)

BackStory:
Pencil grew in Cloudsdale with her family. Her parents worked from home, so they were always around, what didn't really kept the two fillies to get in trouble

But this troubles, together with the help of her dad, made her a strong flier for her age
When she entered flight school she was better than most ponies on her class and most adults expected her to receive a flying cutie mark, so she worked hard to impress them.

She had still time for hobbies, her mother made it very clear that no matter what, both her daughters should have tie to try new things
This is how Pencil started drawing
Little by little it became a little more of an obsession. she would carry her notebook everywhere and draw on every break.

One day, on the break of one of her flying classes as she was preparing to draw she found a younger filly, sad and homesick. Trying to make her calm down Pencil showed her drawings to the young filly. As the tears stop and a smile opened Pencil knew this was what she wanted to do forever, keep creating things that could make someone happier. And this way her cutie mark appeared, a red pencilcase

After receiving her cutie mark she decided to leave flight school and concentrate on drawing. This toke a bit of convincing of her dad, that was not soo happy her little girl wasn't going to grow up to became a top flying racer, but her mother was completely on her side, after all, what a great thing having another artist in the family. The one that liked this sudden change the most was her younger sister, that had all this time trying to be just like her sister, was left not knowing what to do. They make peace after Rain Drop (younger sister) received her cutie mark, but before that the sisters had a difficult time on their relationship.

Now Pencil lives in a flying cloud house, that she can take from place to place (top right) and it was done for her by her mum and dad. She uses it to travel from town to town selling drawings, sculpture and whatever other types of art she has at the moment.
She spends most of her money in art supplies and candy, but that doesn't really matter, because she gets her food from her sister's farm

More about her:

Se likes dealing with foals. They are easy to speak to and are very interested in everything, even if they are not the most patient
She hates walking. After soo many years living in Cloudsdale the ground is painfully hard and walking is soo slow anyway, she will always fy if she has the chance. One of her biggest pet peeves are ponies slowly walking in front of her in a way she can get pass them to go faster in anyway
She enjoys sitting down in front of her window to draw and look at the clouds passing by
She can't sit down and do nothing. Ok, she can draw for long periods of tie, or look at the clouds passing down, but if you just ask her to wait and not let er doodle, you'll see her always twitching her ear or hoofs, and maybe swing back and forward on the chair until she fells down

More about her cutiemark:
I choose a pencilcase for her cutiemark because I didn't want something that would fix her to one single art activity. A pencil is normally used for artists in general, a needle and thread for plushie makers, etc. But I don't know yet what I want to do, so when designing my sona I wanted her cutiemark to fit whatever I end up doing. after all, a pencilcase can hold pencils, but can also hold needles, sculpting materials, brushes, whatever you would like to put inside it


I hope this text is understandable, but if you have doubts or you think that there are better ways to say certain parts (or the whole thing if it's really that bad) please tell me. I'm also open to critics about her story if you think that something isn't right with that. I'm not really a writer, and I've been trying to write this directly in my non-native language, so I'm pretty sure that this can't be very good 

She has have two other desgns in the past: cutepencilcase.deviantart.com/… and cutepencilcase.deviantart.com/…
This third one is because I forgot to look at the reference when I draw her, so she just changed

So super cute.
You are definitely going to have to expect some fanart of this little cutie.
I love her design and the way you draw muzzles and expressions is so perfect.

Thank you, as you can see this OC as very much grown with me as I get better and changes as my style changes
I'm always unsure if an expression is easily readable, so I normally just do them 300% more extreme than they need to be

Recently I've been experimenting with some new muzzles, a boxy one that works better in 3D, more for paintings, because those really need something that makes sense in 3D for me to be able to shade them, and also for when I want a more "serious" looking drawing, when the characters need a less cute nose and more of an intimidating or regal look (or maybe just need to look more adult, and another one that is more silly and where the mouth is disconnected from the nose and allows the expressions to be "bigger" if that makes any sense

I'll probably be posting something with the silly muzzle soon, I hope you like that one as well

Thank you
My OC was an attempt to do a pony that kind of looked like me, but I let it evolve with my style to something different
I'm sure that if you try a few times you can get something nice. And even if you don't want to do that, many people use their favourite pony almost as a sona, so you could do that too
