Entry #121
Custom Pony's Name: Feng Shui
Base Pony: Beebop (blue)
Description: Feng Shui is a tropical Pacific blue pony with ocean
and sunny colored hair. She has three colors in her mane and tail
arranged in vertical stripes: deep blue, bright sunny yellow, and
spring green. Feng Shui's symbol represents gusts of blowing wind,
and she has an additional symbol, the Chinese characters for "feng
shui" ("water" and "wind") on her
chest. Her eyes are deep blue with a lighter blue stripe. Her magnet
hoof is marked with a rain drop.
Story: When I first read the theme "Enchanted Paradise,"
the first thing that came to mind was the tragic 2004 Asian tsunami,
and how it destroyed so much of our living paradise.
Then the idea of Feng Shui, the pony who attracts and releases
positive energy, came to mind. Feng Shui (literally, "wind and
water") can change lives, making dreams and desires come true.
Her colors are blue for wisdom, green for health, and yellow for
energy (chi), according to ancient Chinese tradition. Her symbols
literally represent her name: blowing wind and water drops, forces
of nature that have the power to restore and reshape even the worst
devastation. Her final touch is her name in Chinese characters on
her chest. With the power of Feng Shui, gifts and treasures of all
kinds can come from the most unexpected places! |

Custom Pony's Name: Lac-A-Daisy
Base Pony: Merriweather (yellow)
Description: Lac-A-Daisy is a bright lemon-yellow pony with
serene-hued hair reminiscent of the waves of the ocean. Her mane and
tail are sky-blue, bright cyan, minty-teal, and teal mixed together
in a gradient; the gradient forms stripes (of a sort)--for some
stripes the gradient is in sky-blue, bright cyan, minty-teal, and
teal, and for others it is the opposite: teal, minty-teal, bright
cyan, and sky-blue. Lac-A-Daisy's symbol is a blue folding beach
chair under a rainbow umbrella, with a pink book open and
upside-down in the sand beside the chair. Her lidded eyes are tan
with a lighter sandy-tan stripe and a small teal heart. Her magnet
hoof is marked with a teal heart.
Story: There's nothing Lac-A-Daisy loves more than a calm, drowsy
summer day where she can relax in the shade on the beach with a good
book. Some of the other ponies may call her lazy, but Lac-A-Daisy
thinks she has perfected the appreciation of summertime. |

Description: Ivy Whispers is a light green Pony with a long, curly
mane blending the colors of medium teal, light yellow, and medium
purple, and an extra long tail of the same color and curl. Her eyes
are a brilliant, exotic green with a sliver of bright yellow and a
small silvery star. The symbol on her rump is a leafy vine with dark
blue flowers and buds with a single purple flower at the bottom of
the vine.
Story: Ivy Whispers is a fun-loving Pony; she loves to play
hide-and-seek and make arts and crafts with her close friends. When
not playing, she can usually be found walking through the forest
admiring its beauty and conversing with the creatures who inhabit
it. Albeit shy at first, she loves her friends deeply and would do
anything for them. Her favorite time of the day is the morning, when
the sun has just come up and the flowers open to the morning dew. |

hair and a darker sandy coloured streak in both her mane and tail.

on the bright side of things. Every morning she takes a quiet stroll
on the beach, watching the sunset and the rolling waves, and enjoys
listening to them gently wash up on the beach.
"Sometimes when the water seems low..." says Sand
Dollar, "...I try not to think of the ocean as half empty, but
rather half full!" |

Custom Pony's Name: Birdie of Paradise
Base Pony: Kiwi Tart (yellow)
Description: Resembled after a Bird of Paradise, she has a striking
yellow base colour with a tail that is predominantly a dark chestnut
with a tan stripe down the middle. Her mane starts with a white tuft
in the front, then tan in the front, fading to the same dark
chestnut. She has emerald eyes, a leafy vibrant colour and her
symbol is a feather with a chestnut stem and a tan colouring to the
feather. On her hoof she sports an eighth note, related to her
songlike nature.
Story: Birdie has lived on a small island (just off of the coast of
the newly discovered Butterfly Island) her whole life and spends
most of her time singing and playing with her best friends, the
birds of the island.
She would rather be singing in the treetops with her live songbird
accompaniment than to ever be caught singing in the shower.
Her symbol and cutie mark represent her birdlike attributes and her
love for song. |
