Princess Tragedy - 2008

Custom by Aikarin

This punk princess was created as an alternative to the standard sugary-sweet Valentines day pony.  Base pony is a white 3rd gen scented pony.  She smells a bit like Sweet Tarts!

This pony has very distinctive layered punk hair.  It is mostly saran in silver, white, black, burgundy, and red with rare bits of silver tinsel thrown in.  Many extra plugs were added near the forelock to create this look.  Hair was rooted in color-coordinated clumps, then brushed down with a tiny bit of heat from a hair dryer (this hair melts, so I was super-careful here!).  Then, it was cut into random layers.  Tail features the same colors, also cut in layers.

Her symbol is a stylized swirled two-sided heart with one angel wing and one sinister looking wing.  Heart is pierced with a dagger.  Wings are made of silver glitter.


Hoof marking is a symbol of royalty - a black glittery fleur-de-lis.

This pony has a total of  6 piercings: two in her right ear, two in her right eyebrow, one on her nose, and one on her left ear.  Some of the rings have black, silver, or red seed beads on them.

Her eyes are yellow with black liner and lashes.  As you can see, she is quite fond of burgundy eyeshadow!

Her collar is custom knit of black acrylic yarn.  It is removable with a silver-tone Celtic knotwork button.  It works well with the pose...her neck doesn't look so awkwardly long any more.  Or maybe it's to cover up the vampire bites?  Hmmm...

Princess Tragedy is a CUSTOM PONY, not affiliated with Hasbro, and this design will not be repeated.
She is signed and dated under one hoof.
