Name: Delfina

Age: 13

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Seapony Form
Sleek and slender, with a long, graceful yet strong dolphin like tail, and a pair of pectoral fins. She also has an athletic look about her because of her active lifestyle. Her body is a dark cyan color, with soft pastel cyan streaks. Her hair is light cyan and white, tied back in a pony tail, and her eyes are a sparkling sapphire color.
Earth Pony Form
She retains a sleek petite figure in her secondary form, and her coloration of course stays the same, though now she gains a sunset orange hoof heart and her symbol, on her left hip depicts a pair of dolphins leaping out of the sea with a sunset in the background.

(Here's visual representation of her coloration. Starting from the right and working left, they represent her body color, body accents, hair and eyes.)

Breed: Seapony of the Delphini Order. (Shape Changer) (G1)

Special Abilities: She, like the rest of her kind, has the ability of echolocation to assist her in finding her way around, and in finding food when her eyes are not enough. It allows her to locate creatures or objects at up to a mile away, or buried under as much as a foot of sand, or a similar substance. It can also be focused into a weapon, used to stun or disorient a foe, it is usually used this way only in self defense. She also has the ability to shape change into an earth pony, allowing her to travel the land as well as the sea. However she can only shape change 3 times in a day, after the third change she will be exhausted and unable to change again until she has a chance to rest. She was born with this ability, however even Delfina herself is not aware she can do this, though she may discover her special talent in the very near future.

Personality: Adventurous, playful, friendly, loyal, all these words can be used to describe young Delfina. She loves exploring the ocean, looking for new places and people, and new adventures. She also likes to swim fast, and leap high out of the water, and can often be seen trying to beat her own 'records' during her free time, or even racing any of her friends in the tribe that are willing. Though she also enjoys playing various other games with her friends too. But in the end, if you can break through her competitive shell, and earn her friendship, you'll find you have a kind and loyal friend who will always be there for you, ready and willing to help you with your troubles.

Family: Most of her family died in the great death. Only her mother Dulcy, her father Echo, and her youngest aunt Falina survived.

History: She grew up with her parents, having as normal a childhood as one could expect for a child growing up in the wake of the great death. As with most other species, many of her kind were killed by the event, and thus the seas felt a little on the empty side. Delfina did have a few friends though, they would play games like tag and hide and seek. They would also often race each other around, seeing who was the fastest swimmer, or jump high into the air to see who could leap the highest out of the water. Delfina often won such contests, but she also would let her friends win once in a while to be nice. Though recently she came of the age when every pony of her kind must go find someone to spend their life with and start a family of their own, and so she left her family and her friends, and is off to try and find love. Though she can't help but seek out fun and adventure along the way as well.

Sure, no problem mlpeod/wink.gif But please put this character in the backburner till the species has been approved, okay? That has to be done first. As soon as it's been approved, any mod can come and start reviewing it. First things first mlpeod/wink.gif

You must have read my mind. As far as a picture. I'll see if I can sketch something up, if I can pry myself away from the other things I do for fun after work to do it. mlpeod/teeth.gif Though, really, the picture in my mind is pretty much looking like a regular seapony, only with a dolphin tail and fins, and the blowhole.

I was chatting with Sider yesterday, and I brought up regarding the character moves that there is nowhere I can move Delfina because all the G1 seapony threads are inactive. She suggested that I alter Delfina a little and make her a shape changer. I thought about it and I figure I would have her able to change into a standard earth pony, with the same color scheme of course. I even have a fitting symbol in mind for her. I would also think to impose a limitation in that changing forms more than 2 or 3 times would make her very exhausted. What do you other mods think of this?

Sider- 03-27-2007
2-3 times during what kind of time frame? a day, a week?

Anyhow.. as it's been stated I'm ok with this addition to the character, anyone else?

Dolphy- 03-27-2007
Well, the idea in my head was 1 day, but I guess the '1 day' part got stuck on the way from my brain to the keyboard. DOH!

Dragonblossom- 03-29-2007
I don't mind.

Though I'd love to start up another/ continue the "underwater" RP. I like my Red Tide. mlpeod/smilie.gif Just FYI

Sider- 03-29-2007
I believe that's two approvals Dolphy... go for it!

and of course you can always take her back to the water.

Ok, the change has been made.
