Review For: @Singedwings07

[Name] Art Angel
[Age] 16
[Pony Type] Pegasus
[Colors] Light brown coat, dark brown hooves, dark green eyes, dark brown mane with red and blue bangs, dark brown tail
[Cutie Mark/Talent] A pencil over a slightly curved piece of paper - Her talent is creating beautiful artworks without the use of magic (hoofmade artwork)
[Family] Acrylic Cloud - Mother - 30's - Pegasus
Stormy Rider - Father - Deceased - Pegasus
[Weaknesses] She's terribly frightened of being left alone, on a literal level, as well as referring to losing the ponies she loves
[Quirks] She's a daydreamer due to her constant need of artistic inspiration - She asks a lot of questions, a habit developed from when she was young and often wondered aloud about her father
[Backstory] Art Angel was brought up by her mother alone, who made a living off of painting the sky during different times of the day ( Was she a SkyPainter??
;0; ). She was told by her mother that her father was "just away for the moment, and will come back sometime in the future". Not really knowing what she meant, Angel always asked questions about her dad: what he looked like, what traits he and she had in common, etc. She never did get a straight answer - Her mother always changed the subject and sent her to play elsewhere, though she did get a few answers: his name, and that he took pictures of storms at sea. She would usually draw pictures that depicted what she thought would be a reasonable appearance for her dad. She also wrote stories about him, her mother, and herself. It wasn't until later when she found her mother weeping in her room and she realized that her father was not, in fact, gone only for the moment. He had died at sea when a storm finally sunk his ship. After that day, she kept drawing and writing until she felt that she perfected her style, which is when she got her cutie mark. Her plans for the future include writing stories and illustrating them.

[Feedback]
I like that her backstory is quite unique in the fact that it is about how her unknown father intrigued her to make artwork, but the talent you've given her is widely used, and it's just not that original anymore. Practically all artwork is hoofmade, so I don't see how that really makes her special. Maybe you could spice it up a bit, perhaps by giving her her own unique tactic towards drawing, or by having her specialize in a specific craft, such as airbrush artwork, watercolors, etc. For example, my character Mystic Nights specializes in glasswork, so she makes small crafts and trinkets out of glass. Secondly, her colors are a bit plain and boring - It's nearly all shades of brown, and that makes it a bit, well, bland. Maybe add in a few other hues? Also, I did note the different colors in her hair, but my thought on that was that, red and blue most likely will not look the best with a dark brown. Once again, maybe you could try some different hues of the rainbow?

[Mary-Sue Percentage]
9% - Widely overused talent, and a slightly boring color palette.
