Description
(disclaimer: I'll go back to TF2 ponies soon, don't worry! Leo's Scout and ak's Soldier are 'being worked on', and I'll post them ASAP)Some time ago, I was designing characters who would be 'opposites', or actually complements of the mane6. They wouldn't be evil versions; instead, they were designed as a mix of their features and their complements.
For example, Rainbow Dash's 'opposite' was Dichrome Blur, a very fast and loyal, but shy and humble pegasus. I may draw, or at least post some of their descriptions later.
Anyway, one of the opposites was Grapejuice, Applejack's opposite: he's a very igenious and frank pony, albeit a little too excentric and lazy. Created in Manehattam with his father's family, the Grape, he never totally fit in the formalisms of the big city, nor in the traditions of his mother's family, the Lime farmers.
Anyway, I thought in many ideas for Grapejuice and his family, in special his cousin Marmelade Lime, who suffered of the same 'fitting problems', but was created under the Lime family.
I liked both characters a lot, but many points were still open and/or interchanging between them. So I ended up drawing someone who's a mix of Grapejuice an Marmelade Lime, a pony who I can't decide on naming 'Lemonade Lime' or 'Grapevine'. Either way, she's a very brave and daring earth pony, without fears of being different or doing different.
She's often slightly injuried, and she keeps her tail short and tall after some 'accidents' she had, something about tractors, balloons and a shark (...you should only ask if you wan't to listen to the most unprobable, yet true history ever told). Her mane is deep purple, with some long, bright yellow bangs, and is as wild as her personality; her eyes have different colours, another proof that she shouldn't belong to the Lime nor the Grape alone.
On, and she has thick eyebrows, because awesome girls (and filies!) can have these too! (...and she reminds me of Helga from 'Hey Arnold' that way, specially with the long ponytails)
Her cutiemark is a Lemonade glass, showing her talent for turning every situation into a favorable one - if life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

If you have any name suggestions, please post them!

Her overall design was also based on great 'ponies with ponytails' series!
