    So this is Iron Aurora, my unicorn OC. I thought since nobody ahd done this before, i would make her a spellsword-typ pony who is gifted in Combat and Magic. This was inspired by the elder scrolls games, my favorite series. Don't know much about her? Here are the details:

    Personality: Disciplined, Trains hard; Aurora finds herself having to make up for her weaknesses and improves upon them. Though she may not look like it, Iron Aurora is bit of an honor based pony, focusing on balanced attacks, magic, and fighting stances.

    Backstory: Iron Aurora is an unicorn mare, born in Canterlot to a wealthy family; Aurora trains in the art of the spellsword. The sword is an inherited blade from her family, the symbol on the hilt represents her family's house. She even enters the local tourneys to prove herself, the captain of the royal guard is even impressed with her ability; but she feels she has way more to learn before she can consider herself a complete spellsword fighter.

    Her and the whole family knows that just having skill isn't enough, you need to constantly train to keep yourself in fighting shape. Iron Aurora does so by training behind her family estate, there is a training area run by magical devices. The sole purpose, is to prepare her for anything that she may encounter.

    Her father, who she looks up to as a mentor; taught her everything she knows. Always encouraging her to improve, and he has to the point that the captain of the royal guard even offered her a position in the guard itself; but she turns him down. Iron Aurora is a pony who values her family traditions; and to join the royal guard would destroy it. On several occasions, Aurora has fended off those who wished to harm others.

    Other: While this sword is a family treasure, its not just given to anypony, it has to be earned, and Iron Aurora has gained that right through harsh training and perseverance. Never giving up her will to fight to protect those she loves and those ponies around her. As to the blade, the type of metal is unknown. Her shield is made by casting magic and protects her if a blow comes her way, she has built up the spell by constantly training herself day in and day out. But she has a long way to go before she can effectively use it.

    I like this OC,
    but would say it has a very computerised feel to it compared to others I've seen.

    Keep up the good work.

    I don't have the skill to draw my own oc's, so this was the only option.

    I used ponylumen version, but that was to test out how this color scheme would look.

    The OC looks good.

    Ponylumen is starting to be slightly overused, but it's perfectly acceptable for a reference image.
