[Your Little Phony]

Name: Ceylon
Sex: Female
Type: Unicorn
Build: Slim and graceful
Eyes: Pale green
Hair: Her mane is pulled up in a fancy wavy updo; her tail is worn curled and elegant.
Cutie Mark: A Wedgwood teacup.
Brief Character Description: Ceylon is a high-class society lady by day... and a ruthless business woman by night. Her personality is that of your bog-standard business tycoon; she's very logical and calculating. She knows how pretty she is, and she uses this to her advantage, especially around other pretty mares who might be competition. But sometimes the prettiest people are kind of ugly on the inside... Ultimately, it's important to remember that while she's occasionally a nice phony, she's not necessarily good. Her interests are her company, herself, and then her birds, which are really more of a living accessory that live in her parlor than companions.
It's her goal in life to get her brand of tea in every sweetshop, coffee shop, bakery, grocery store, and restaurant in Phonyville. And in all the souvenir shops, too!


Name: Sea-Saltwater Taffy
Sex: Male
Type: Pegasus, regular fetlocks
Hair: Messy medium-length mane and tail
Cutie Mark : A surfboard
Brief Character Description: He loves everything to do with summer. Very friendly to others but he tends to forget names easily unless very good friends with the phony in question. His attitude is very easy-going, like that of a surfer. 'Sea' is never one to rush things and doesn't do well under pressure.


Name: Cupid's Arrow
Sex: Female
Type: Pegasus
Build: Squishy
Hair: Long, wavy silky hair
Cutie Mark 8D: 3 rose pink hearts in a row, with an arrow through all three.
Brief Character Description: This girl is a crazy matchmaker, It's her passion. Behind her soft, gentle smile she's a gushing lovey-dovey romantic and is almost always trying to find that special someone for friends, family, strangers, WHO CARES EVERYONE SHOULD BE IN LOVE, RIGHT?? She swears she has a knack for it, after all, she didn't get her cutie mark for nothing!
Aside from that she's gentle, polite, and very caring. Just don't let her think you have a crush on someone or you'll never hear the end of it!


Name: No Questions Axed
Sex: Male
Type: Unicorn
Build: Chubby and short, he doesn't exercise and eats too much snacks and fast food staying in his room all the time.
Hair style: Soft fluffy hair, not curled.
Cutie Mark 8D: An axe wedged into a video game case
Brief Character Description: This guy rarely sees sunlight. You would literally have to drag him out of his room to get some fresh air. Q likes to play popular video games then blog about it. He rates the games out of 10 horsehoes based on the story and how enjoyable it is. 1 meaning not enjoyable/boring and won't play same game ever again, 10 meaning superduper fun and will play it again without getting bored of the story trying to unlock extra content/achievements blahblahblah. It is easy to get a hold of him he is always online. But to meet him personally physically in person, you better have a really good excuse for him to leave the house and ugh being outside. Video calls are preferred.


Name: Sugar Scrub
Sex: Female
Type: Earth
Build: Chubby
Hair: Long and bound by silver rings in several locks
Cutie Mark 8D: A drop of water and ripples with sparkles

Name: Rocky Road
Sex: Male
Type: Unicorn
Build: Draft
Hair: A mane with a topknot
Cutie Mark: A jackhammer with rocks flying out.
Brief Character Description: Polite, complimentary to the point of being flirty - a tip of his construction hat, a wink and a flash of a perfect grin are his trademark. A construction worker who uses his magic to help in creation/building/fixing of Phonyland. He fancies himself an asphalt cowboy and isn't above showing off if there's a pretty pair of eyes on him (and don't worry - your eyes are pretty to him, and yours, and yours, and yours...). Rock thinks he's all suave and charm and James Bond, but he's a bit taken aback by genuine kindness shown to him. He tries his best to do 'what's right,' but he can have a touch of a hero complex, liking to 'save the day' in everyday situations. Basically, he's a ham. Honey baked and well done.
Non-normative features: draft build


Name: Little Tomato
Sex: Female
Type: Earth
Build: She is small, and slightly chubby...
Markings: Normative freckles
Hair:Cropped, tousled, and wavy/curly.
Cutie Mark 8D: A small tomato amongst some bigger tomatoes
Brief Character Description: Little Tomato is based on the song, "Hang On Little Tomato." She is a pleasant girl who does her best to have an optimistic view. She is most cheerful when she is able to make someone's day brighter. She would love to be able to do this by cooking them food, because golly gee does food make her life better -- but alas, she's pretty terrible at cooking and baking (even if she follows a strict recipe, she often finds food over- or under-done). Occasionally she'll treat others to fruits or veggies that they like and don't require cooking, but otherwise she'll opt to treat people to things that others have properly cooked rather than trying to cook herself. Even if things cannot be fixed with a delicious treat, however, Little Tomato will always be there for her friends as a shoulder to cry on, and is incredibly loyal to her loved ones.


Name: Fairy Ring
Sex: Female
Type: Unicorn
Build: Regular
Hair: Drill-curled hair
Cutie Mark: A fairy ring
Brief Character Description: A faerie fanatic! Fairy Ring is always on the search for elusive fae, which she knows for a fact exists somewhere, just uh, she's not sure where. Maybe they're not in Phonyland, but outside the walls of the themepark, the faeries are somewhere!
She's obsessive and a quick talker, with singular interests such as hers though she has trouble making friends with phonies who don't understand... But Fairy Ring is a bright, bubbly little mare all around.
Non-normative Features: two-toned eyes


Name: Dearly Departed
Sex: Female
Type: Earth
Build: A full-bodied lady
Markings: Normative freckles with white lace socks on all four legs
Hair: Black, big curly hair with light blue streaks.
Cutie Mark: A gravestone with a white rose resting in front of it.
Brief Character Description: A bighearted and boisterous lady with an eye for detail. She runs the only Funeral Home in Phonyland but due to the nature of Phonies, she doesn't get much work. So instead she mostly holds wakes for pets and the occasional rose bush.
Non-normative Features: complex Twice-as-Fancy lace socks, complex hairstyle


Name: Shell Game
Sex: Female
Type: Mer
Body Tiny and slight.
Hair: Punk mane-mohawk
Cutie Mark: Three clamshells, one with a pearl.
Brief Character Description: Frickin awful I'm sorry. Self-centered and shellfish, fresh and salty. Loves nothing more than a good prank - especially if it's the kind of prank she can make a profit off of! A professional ripoff artist, she's char-ismatic enough to be mistaken as a lovable floundrel until it's too late and the metaphorical knifejaw is in your back. May also have a weakness for fish puns.


Name: Honey Bumble
Sex: Female
Type: Springwing Flutter
Markings: Stripey black socks
Cutie Mark: A bee hiding inside of a blue flower.
Brief Character Description: Honey Bumble is a beekeeper, her house is even built in the same giant tree that houses her bees. She is generally a shy phony because of it, as not too many phonies want to go sticking their hooves in bee-territory. She doesn’t mind, though, and is more than happy to sell fresh honey in the market and socialize there. She also takes care to make sure no bees set up hives anywhere else inconvenient in phonyland- for the bee’s safety, of course. (Okay, she supposes that yes, it is also for the safety of parkgoers, but she's in it mostly it's for the bees. She tries to hold lectures that bees are actually very harmless when swarming, but surprisingly not a lot of phonies want to turn up to a lecture on bees.)
She is also the treasurer, promoter, vice president, and president of the Bee Active Society, because she is the only member of the Bee Active Society, and the main event that the BAS partakes in is the routine heckling of town meetings to stop using pesticides. Because they are bad for the bees. Well, mainly neonicotinoid pesticides.
Also, speaks in bee puns. Example: “That’s the place to bee.” “I beelieve she went down to the lake.” “I hiven’t seen them recently.” And frequent use of bee-phrases: “Buzz off,” and “Got a bee in your bonnet?” So on and so forth.
Honey thinks she's hilarious. Beeing alone most of the time has given her a very peculiar sense of humor.
To the surprise of most, Honey is a rather good dancer. It's a bee thing.
Non-normative features: flutter, Twice as Fancy black stripey sock markings

Brief Character Description: Endless Summer is a surfer phony. She has a mellow, laid back, take life as it comes kind of attitude. Endless Summer is perfectly happy to lay back in the sun and do nothing or go out and catch a wave (where waves are unavailable, Endless Summer will opt to use a skateboard on land). A pretty happy phony, some may find her a bit annoying as she tends to use a lot of surfer slang in every day conversations, but she has a witty sense of humor once you know what she is talking about.


Name: Night Bite
Sex: Female
Type: Pegasus
Cutie Mark 8D: A set of vampire fangs

When he's not gaming or playing games, he likes to adventure to gain inspiration. His social skills are poor and he cannot manage to talk to those he isn't comfortable with.
