Spire Reference

Description

A reference for my ponysona, Spire Whitewing. Done digitally and without any canon/pose references or bases or line-arts involved. Total time, including writing the profile for her below, was about 2 hours. I am not exactly sure why her tail and that one bit of her main were cut off. Oh well, it doesn't really affect the reference.

A more detailed description of Spire's personality and life can be found below this, in the rest of the description.

Spire is entirely, completely, and wholely my creation. You may use her in fanfictions or art without my permission, but I would be much obliged if you would provide me with a link to the finished product, wherever and whatever it may be.


**History added 9-9-2013**</i>


Name Spire Whitewing; Just call her Spire
Gender Filly
Species Unicorn Pony
Cutie Mark A quill writing the words "Carpe Diem" (Seize the Day in Latin). It represents her fun loving, live life to the fullest attitude and her love of writing.

Personality Spire's main trait is friendliness. Even though she has a shy side that sometimes keeps her from meeting new ponies, she is usually outgoing and happy, which draws ponies to her side. She has her ups and downs, but her strong faith and great friends keep her filled with joy and hope. Nothing means more to Spire than her family and friends, all of whom she would give her life for without any second thoughts. Her big heart shares love left and right and she still has more to spare ("the more I give the more I have, for my love is infinite" -Juliet from Romeo and Juliet). However, sometimes her temper is short and she keeps her emotions on a tight leash sometimes to avoid hurting anypony she cares about. She is very forgiving and intelligent. 

History  Spira was born to a loving mother and father in the large(-ish) city of Seaddle, Equestria. Their family was basically normal, except for Spira. Her mother was an earth pony from Hoofington, her father a pegasus hailing from Las Pegasus. Spira had two siblings, her sister an earth pony and her brother a pegasus. Spira, however, was a unicorn by some strange hap of chance. Her father, a pegasus by the name of Storm Twister, worked a few miles away in Las Pegasus, and was rarely home for an extended period of time. When he was home, though, he loved his daughter like a changeling loves affection. Spira was rarely wanting, even though her father taught her very well how to be self-dependant and successful in the business world. Though he passed away when Spira was still a filly, his daughter hears his voice in her ears every day. Spira's mother was a unicorn hailing from Hoofington named Harmony. She had an accent that could make her difficult to understand unless you knew her well. Thanks to her mother's speech, Spira can decipher almost any accent presented to her today. Harmony was a beautiful mare with a troubled past, and she always pressured her daughters to avoid the path she had taken. She was especially hard on Spira, since her eldest daughter was her wildest. Thanks to her species-challenged family and her mother's accents, Spira never had any fillyfriends over to her home. Despite all her parents' urging to meet more ponies, Spira never had many friends or even acquaintances in school. Often she would feel as if her only companion was her writing and her sister. Spira's sister currently works at the Canterlot gardens and zoo as a keeper. Arya is an earth pony that was everything Spira is not. Socially adequate, confident, beautiful, and an early bloomer, Arya became their mother's crowning jewel. Spira was often jealous of her younger sister, especially when Arya got her cutie mark days after Spira found her own and immediately understood her destiny.
    When she got her cutie mark, Spira was on the edge of adolescence. Her "blank flank" had plagued her all throughout school and further isolated her from her peers. When she finally found her cutie mark (while writing a poem about freedom), it was days before her younger sister got her cutie mark. Additionally, as if the late appearance of a destiny wasn't bad enough, Spira could not make heads nor tails of Carpe Diem and a quill. What did it mean? What was she supposed to do? Her parents kicked Spira out when she reached marehood. Actually, they had offered her the basement because they loved their daughter, but Spira was way too independent to accept such a low and degrading lifestyle as that. Spira ended up using all the years between then and the present day to travel Equestria and the world. While she traveled, Spira wrote. She wrote about the ponies (or zebras or griffons or whatever other creature she encountered). She created pictures of the cities with her words. She wove stories about the faces she saw passing in the streets. But despite all the fun she was having, the money Harmony and Storm Twister had given Spira was running out fast. The first time Spira was ever published was in a magazine. She had won a short story competition. From there her career took off and Spira finally understood her cutie mark! She was born to write and, more importantly, to live! The first book ever published with the name "Spira Whitewings" on the cover was a memoir of Spira's travels. A companion book was published shortly after, a collection of all the pieces Spira had written on the road. After traveling a bit more and seeing thousands of sights and writing a dozen more published books of varying topics and tales, Spira decided she needed to settle down (Harmony was overjoyed that her "wild one" was finally getting a home of her own). She ended up in Ponyville, attracted by the quiet town and the impressive sky-topolis of Cloudsdale above.
    Today, Spira continues to write and occasionally designs graphics like signs and posters and banners for customers from all over Equestria. Her deepest passion and desire is to write whatever and whenever she would like, but at the moment she is obliged to follow the work that comes for her. She loves living in Ponyville and is completely satisfied there. Her house is a basic stucco home with three stories and a rooftop garden. She has a swimming pool out back and loves to use it on warm days in the summer. Her favorite place in the house is her library-office. She grows many vegetables and has a few fruit trees in her garden. During Winter Wrap Up, Spira usually works in the Plant Team. She adores to traveling and has been to Canterlot, Fillydelphia, Manehattan, Dodge City, San Flanksisco, Whinnyapolis, Seaddle (of course), Trottingham, Appleoosa, Hoofington, Trottingham, Foaledo, Vanhoover, Mustangia, and Baltimare, as well as Saddle Arabia, Alfalfrica, Foaland, and most recently the Crystal Empire. She would much like to visit the Whinnying Islands and Saddleborough.

Work To make a living, Spire writes and designs graphics like signs and posters and banners for customers from all over Equestria. She has even done work for prestigious ponies like Fleur de Lise and once, Princess Cadance.

Relationships Even though she lives far away from her parents' home in Seaddle, Spire keeps close contact with her family. Her sister (currently without a name) lives in Canterlot, working in the royal zoo. Spire is single, but celebrated Hearts and Hooves Day with a computer-smart stallion named Pixel. She has a hoof-full of best friends that are very dear to her, including Dusty Trails, Shadow Runner, Rayla Wednesday, Lizard Light, and Love Lace.

Home Spire lives in little ol' Ponyville, but she loves the small town and its citizens. Her house is a basic stucco home with three stories and a rooftop garden. She has a swimming pool out back and loves to use it on warm days in the summer. She grows many vegetables and has a few fruit trees in her garden.

Other During Winter Wrap Up, Spire usually works in the Plant Team. She has been invited to and attended both the Garden Party and the Grand Galloping Gala. Spire loves to travel and has been to Canterlot, Fillydelphia, Manehattan, Dodge City, San Flanksisco, Whinnyapolis, Seaddle (of course), Trottingham, Appleoosa, Hoofington, Trottingham, Foaledo, Vanhoover, Mustangia, and Baltimare, as well as Saddle Arabia, Alfalfrica, Foaland, and the Crystal Empire.
