IC:Character name: Trixie Lulamoon
Fandom: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Timeline: Right after Season 1, episode 6(Boast Busters)
Age: Young adult, around 20-22(Headcanon)
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: Trixie's a unicorn, so she's able to use magic. If one would to gauge her strength in magic, they would say that most unicorns are a 5 or 6, Trixie a 9, and Twilight Sparkle a 24.
However, most of the magic spells she has aren't really that practical and much more showy.
Here is a list of all the spells she's able to use.
How would they use their abilities?:Trixie's a showpony and a storyteller. She'll use her magic to show off, increase dramatics both inside and outside her stories, or to humiliate the hecklers that interrupt her show to challenge her.
Appearance: Trixie's a blue unicorn. She has white hair and purple eyes. Her cutie mark is that of a blue wand with a blue star at one end. There's also a sort of misshapen crescent moon of blue with white sparkes littered in the misshapen crescent moon.
She used to have both a purple cape and a purple pointed hat, both littered with blue and yellow stars. Her cape also had a blue sapphire gem where it was connected.
Background/Personality:(Headcanon will be in
italics.)
Personality: The first thing anyone would notice about her is that she likes to brag. A lot. She'll constantly hype up her own abilites and exploits in order to make herself look better. She has many ways of doing this, mostly trough simple bragging. But when the situation calls for it, she'll weave up fantastic stories of her performing spectacular feats, such as defeating an army of manticore or an Ursa Major. She's so arrogant, she speaks in third-person.
However, despite all of her arrogance and bragging, she really cares about the stories she weaves. She always attemptsd to make them as entertaining and enticing as possible so as to not bore anyone. Her job IS storytelling. However, if she encounters hecklers who dislike her stories, she's quick to challenge and embarrass them, usually using her competition's material against them for added humiliation. She does this to quickly shut them up so she can tell stories to make money.
For added effect, she uses her magic heavily when storytelling. She relies on dazling and entertaining types of magic, such as illusions and fireworks. She practices as much as she can with showy magic so that she can be a better showmare. However, she practices showy magic so much, that she's barely any good with practical magic, such as teleporting and cloudwalking spells. She's practiced so much with the spells she knows that she can do them without any sweat.
Her personality also goes much deeper than one would expect, but it would probably be rare to see anything but a showmare storyteller who cares about her stories and brags a lot. She cares about her stories because she's trying to become famous. She's so arrogant because she wants to make herself look better in everyone's eyes because of her dream of becoming a legend. Because she wants to be remembered, she makes sure not to drive off potential business partners.
she also shies away from commiting any truly heinous acts, such as murder and kidnapping. She's a pascifist and always attempts to make everything she does non-lethal. She'll even stand up to those that hurt others just for fun and attempt to humiliate them into stopping. But such situations are rare, so she usually is just the bragging show-off everyone sees her as. And while she always hypes herself as being fearless, she usually gets scared by intimidating monsters who can easily overpower her. She'll also drop the arrogance when she has no other way but to tell the truth, also reverting back into first-person.
However, she's a big loner and doesn't usually accept help from anyone. She always wants to do things herself, no matter how hard it is. She does so because she thinks getting help to attain her dream of becoming world-renowned is cheating. She intentionally distances herself emotionally from everyone so they don't try and help her. This may make her prideful, but she'd still rater attain her goal herself than with anyone's help.Background:Trixie Lulamon was born from two unicorns. At a young age, she found that the stories she heard from her parents were entertaining and wanted to emulate them. She tried copying the stories she heard, but she barely remembered them, and others thought they were bland and uninteresting. Trixie found herself disappointed that no one liked the stories she liked. She was a little dejected, but began to experiment with different types of stories, from poems to short aesops to many other different things.
This went on for a while with little success. But one day, in the middle of the day, she was telling a made-up story about herself saving per parents from an evil storm cloud. The story was boring to her small audience of about 3 or 4 fillies and Trixie was struggling to keep them from leaving. But when she talked about beating the evil storm cloud, someone that was nearby had decided to play with fireworks. One of the fireworks wandered near Trixie and her small audience and went off with a bang.
This shocked all of them, but immediately after, Trixie's tiny audience began cheering, thinking that that was part of her show. She saw that that was what they enjoyed and went on to ask her parents if they could buy any fireworks. It took some convincing, but they eventually caved, and her next story was the same self-insert over-the-top style of story, but this time she incorperated the dazzling fireworks into her stories, and the audience loved. That was when she found her niche AND cutie mark.
Life went on for her and she practiced storytelling amd more magic to add flair to her shows. When she was old enough, per parents bought her a magic show/cart for her to live in. Trixie thanked them and went on her way, aiming her sights to become the most famous equine in all of Equestria with her stories. Originally, she could barely find any work for herself, only getting small tips in a few bits and stuff. But as she got better at storytelling and enticing magic tricks, her ego grew, along with her conficence, fame, and loner attitude, as did any hecklers she had. She quickly came up with a way to deal with them by embarrassing them into shutting up, and had forced herself to expand her magic beyond that of magic that only adds to her stories
She slowly made her way up to small towns, and was eventually hired by the Mayor of Ponyville to entertain them for a week. She set up stage in the town square and had begun her storytelling act. Unfortunately, before she got started, a group of four ponies and a dragon began to heckle her. She rounded up Little Haystack, dazed Spin Cycle, and demoralized Rat Nest before intimidating a purple unicorn into leaving.
She was then free to go about her show, illustrating a tale of herself defeating a dreaded Ursa Major. She had gained two enthusiatic admirers with her show. Later, the two admirers approached her with a smoothie and pleas for more tales. Trixie brushed them off, not really wanting to do any more stories that day. Little did she know, she would see those two again at night. They had come knocking frantically on her door, bringing along with them an Ursa Major.
Her admirers had bought it just for her, and that changed the perception of them from enthusiastic little admirers to complete dimwits. Trixie attempted to take down the Ursa Major, twice, but failed. She only had flair to her repitoire. Then she saw that same purple unicorn from her show subdue and defeat the Ursa Major, right in front of her eyes.
She was completely baffled as to how that purple unicorn could have such power, the power she said herself that she had. he was even more baffled when she learned that the Ursa Major was actually an Ursa MINOR. Quickly attempting to salvage her reputation, she dismissed the idea of the purple unicorn being able to outmatch her and quickly ran off to try and get to the next town to halt any rumors of Trixie being weak. She left behind her home, her stage, her cape, and her hat.

1st person sample: Dear_Mun(ALSO)
Trixie demands to know why you insolent creatures fillynapped her! She demands you put her back where she was this instant!
[Trixie's getting in the alien's faces and making demands. She's without any clothes as would anyone would expect. This goes on for some time as the aliens explain things to her and convince her to calm down.]
...Very well. Trixie will do your paperwork.
[A writing utensil is surrounded by a purplish aura of magic, as is her unicorn horn, as it levitates. Trixie uses her magic to fill out any and all necessary paperwork, manipulating the writing utensil as if with an invisible hand. She's silent as she works, listening to the aliens further explain things.
When they get to the part where Equestria was destroyed, Trixie looks up and gives them a flat look.]
...Trixie's heard of better stories coming from many much worse storytellers than herself. [She then goes back to working on the paperwork, bragging about her stories are much better than the aliens' ones. If you interrupt her, the aliens will give Trixie the guide and tell her how to use it despite her protests.]
3rd person sample:The Great and Powerful Trixie has ran. She ran away from an Ursa Minor, she ran away from The Sparkled One, and she ran away from Ponyville. She was also humiliated, a situation she would not have been in if it weren't for those two stupid foals. They ruined everything for her. If she ever sees them again, she thinks she might do something she might regret.
What made her feel even worse was that she apparently ended up in space of all places, and that her planet had been destroyed. Nopony could breathe in space, so how could she be in space? This was probably the fault of those two stupid foals, too. She was horribly distraught and confused and angry and embarrassed, but it's not like she'll let anypony know. She was The Great and Powerful Trixie no matter what happened, and had decided to play along for now.
As she continued to fill the paperwork, she let her mind wander a little bit. She was reminded of the story she told of her defeating an Ursa Major. Equestria no longer existing and being stranded in space was way more unbelievable than the stories
she told.
Trixie's a master storyteller, after all. Or so she thinks. She probably is. Not only was the story they wove bad, it was also boring and not enticing at all. There was no beginning part, no lead-up to the plot, no special effects to help keep the audience interested, no anything that made a story good.
She is going to tell everypony, including these... weird creatures that she was a master storyteller. Were they from the Everfree? She's going to prove to everypony that she deserves the fame she wants. When she's done with all this paperwork, she's going to find a way to entertain everypony. She's going to prove to this supposed spaceship that she
is The Great and Powerful Trixie.
Questions?: Are fireworks illegal?
