Description Updated June 2021 to add the sunglasses and malachite necklace I always wear in addition to getting an updated example of my art style up. These additions are the only changes to her design from the last ref sheet.

(Description still a work in progress)
Name: Rayva
Gender: Female
Birthday: June 3rd, 1991

Likes: Dragons, Animals, Friends, Video Games, Crafting, Biking, Running, Flowers (especially the aromatic ones)
Dislikes: Cliques, False Friends, Arguments, Stressful Situations, Laundry Day, Bugs, Pain
Special Talent: Communication and bond with dragons.
Occupation: Dragon care, and acts in pony to dragon/dragon to pony ordeals to make sure everything is handled peacefully and well.
Personality: Stubborn and headstrong with a very fierce temper, Rayva has a habit of going out of her way to make others happy, and sometimes she suffers as a result of this (she'll sacrifice to the point where she's hurt or unhappy if it means others are happy instead). Rayva struggles in relationships, both romantic and friendship, due to her background growing up (abusive family). She feels that if she shows fear, she's showing weakness, and as such puts on a tough-guy appearance as well as a defensive wall around everyone she meets. As she gets to know other ponies and dragons better and better, the wall goes down some, but it never goes away completely. Rayva rarely cries, as she believes that shows weakness as well. To those she is able to form a bond with, Rayva is a loyal friend. She values the friendships she's made higher than anything else. Despite her severe depression and anger issues, Rayva loves to be a goofball. She often has an over the top friendly air and attitude about her.
Bio: Rayva, while a very loving and caring pony, was born into a rather abusive family, and thus is not often seen around her relatives. Since she is very stubborn and headstrong she made the decision to leave her family at a young age, and over time became very interested in the beauty and power of dragons, to the point where she decided to try and live with them; surprisingly, her special talent laid in her ability to communicate and get along with the fierce giants. She spends much of her time with her draconic friends, but also makes time for the ponies she's befriended as well.  Rayva lives in the mountains near Ponyville. She has a small cave that serves her well as a home.

So she's real! I also based  many times on real animals to create my characters. Animals inspire us a lot!

This is just my opinion, but I think she looks a bit nicer when her mane has a bit more of a gold instead of a yellow, like here:

It also coordinates with the Cutie Mark well.

i would have to make her a dark grey in any picture i draw just so i could shade her correctly and do my style of line art (which is always darker shades of the original color).
i respect your character creation and choices though. but if you were to ever ask me to draw her, fair warning, she would be a very dark grey, along with her hair so i could add some detail in there.
