    Character Summary:
    Born into a family of royalty in Canterlot, Solar Shine was abnormal and was born without a horn, even though his family was unicorns and alicorns. Solar was an obnoxious child, but good-hearted. He would get into trouble occasionally, but nothing too serious. However, once he reached the age of 14 he started questioning why he was so different from his family. He started feeling neglected and felt as though he was an embarassment to his family. He did not have any of the qualities to be a royal leader. The one he respected most in his family was his older sister Cadance. They would talk all the time about all kinds of things. Cadance had started getting a lot of responsibility and couldn't spend much time with Solar anymore. Solar took it hard and began resenting his older sister. Eventually, chaos struck and the 2 began to argue. The argument grew quickly and Solar assumed that Cadance thought she was too good to be with him anymore. She replied harshly that she had been so busy lately and said to Solar that he should stop acting like such a child. She then left the room and Solar was left to himself again. He was kept awake with his thoughts and decided he no longer belonged in his family. He left a note on his bed and fled in the dark of the night and kept flying until he was too exhausted to continue.

    "I've had it with this family. I'm tired of being treated like a dumb kid all of the time and looked down upon. I never get any responsibilities and I feel like a prisoner in my own home. You guys should have just told me you didn't care about me instead of implying it at every get-together. It doesn't matter now since I'm leaving forever. Looks like I saved you all the trouble. GOOD-BYE FOREVER!"

    He collapsed about 6 miles out from a town called Colton. He was brought there after being found by 3 ponies returning from their hiking trip. He never heard of this town before. There was no other place around for miles, so he decided it would be perfect for a new home. The 3 ponies who found him had befriended him and they began working together on any task the mayor had given them. 2 years later he was part of a group for the town's winter wrap-up on the north side of town. He loved weather and was content to feel the high winds on his face everyday when he woke up. The group had finished their task and sent a pegasus off to city hall to inform the mayor that the north side was complete. However, they forgot about the valley to the far north because not many live there. The other pegasi other than 2 group leaders and Solar's group of 3 ponies had left.

    Solar flew as fast as he could to tell the messenger that we need to get the others together to clear the valley. While flying at such high speeds he began to feel a strange warm sensation in his wings and saw what appeared to be orange dust coming out of the feathers. An explosion of spectacular explosion mixed with the beauty of a sunset appeared and gave off an incredible, spherical wind that melted all the snow in the valley. The 2 group leaders and Solar's friends were amazed and couldn't believe what they just saw. Solar was confused, but since the snow was gone, the job was technically done, so there was no need to catch the messenger. One of the ponies had pointed out that Solar had gotten his cutie mark. It appeared to be some sort of wind, mixed with the colors of hot and cold. Most of the people in town saw the explosion from a distance and it was later called the "Sonic Flare." Solar spent the next 6 years learning more about the mysterious power he witnessed that day. He learned that he did in fact have magical abilities, even without a horn. His wings were the source of his magic, though it was still a farcry from his families power. The Sonic Flare was the result of moving fast enough to break the sound barrier mixed with a rare creation spell used to grow crops in some areas.

    Even after all those years, Solar never stopped thinking about his sister Cadance in the back of his mind. When he was 22 he went off to see his family again. On the way he kept thinking that his family would not accept him and wanted nothing to do with him. He stayed in Ponyville and waited to see what was going on in Canterlot. Any special news would always reach Ponyville. It turns out his sister was getting married someone named Shining Armor. He'd heard of him before, but never actually met him. At that point he felt like there was no way he could face my sister again. He didn't want to risk ruining her wedding. Little did he know Cadance was still devasted about what happened 8 years ago. Solar went back to Colton to live as he had the past 8 years. All he wants is to be with his family again and see his sister, but first he must overcome his fear of confronting them. He may have missed his sister's wedding, but soon he will realize that his family will welcome him back with open arms. Solar plans to return to Ponyville once again, but next time he will stay there. Perhaps he will make new friends, and finally make amends with his sister after being gone for 8 years. "I wonder what she thinks of me."

    I didn't go over the story so it may not make sense and probably has plot holes. I just kept typing what I was thinking. This is my only OC I've made and it will be my only one. I actually want to continue the story, but it's 5:40am and I'm tired.

    I figured. I looked all over the place and used the search for similar threads and found nothing except the OC database which was in this section.

    I'm sorry, this is a little off topic, but how did you get such an awesome signature of your pony in all those poses?

    Photo-editing vectors I found on deviantArt. Notice how the second to last one is Twilight's dad from the Cutie Mark Chronicles episode when he's turned back to normal. It's really nothing special. I was always a bad artist, but I had so much fun in graphics class with the photo-editing project(turning a sunny day on an island to an apocalyptic catastrophe) that I kept doing it. Also the last one is Soarin from the final scenes of the season 2 finale.
