Name: Moonglow
Gender: Mare
Age: Teen
Species: Unicorn
Pelt Color: Grey
Mane/Tail Color & Style: Silver with blue streaks, mane is usually in a ponytail
Eye Color: Green
Cutie Mark: A sun and moon surrounded by little white stars.
Residence: An apartment in the city of Manehattan.
Occupation: A magic tutor for foals and a foalsitter.
Talents, Skills: Since the day she got her cutie mark, Moonglow has gone through book after book, searching for any magical knowledge. She has long since mastered the school of evocation, but is still going through the basics of conjuration. Moonglow has also developed a knack for teaching, a skill she uses to earn bits to sustain herself.
Likes: Magic, donuts, her family & friends, her sisters, learning new spells, books, more donuts, Twilight Sparkle (looks up to her), and LOTS OF DONUTS!!
Dislikes: Shortage of donuts, her sisters, shortage of books, changelings, bugs, Lack of donuts, ponies that hurt her family & friends, and a lack of books!
Character Personality: Moonglow is usually a very cheerful and optimistic pony, and she always walks around with a smile on her face and a book in her magical grip. She is very kind and friendly, and enjoys making new friends. Moonglow is also very knowledgeable and is set on learning all there is to know about magic. Like everypony else, however, she has her flaws. Though she enjoys spending time with her loved ones, she often locks herself in her room with a good book, isolating herself for hours on end. Moonglow is very squeamish, and due to her wild imagination, the tiniest mention of something icky can cause her to lose her appetite for everything except her beloved donuts. She is also very shy on certain occasions. She has been told that she is a great writer, but due to her shyness, she hasn't had the courage to publish something.

KK, few questions first:
1. It says here that under Moonglow's likes: "Twilight Sparkle (looks up to her)", does that imply that Moonglow knows Twilight Sparkle personally, or is it more of a celebrity looking up too sort-of thing? Also, as an aside, Twilight is not a princess in our universe, as our storyline deviates entirely from source material after Season 2.
2. Manehatten is currently having some issues with it being invaded and all, are you aware of this?
3. How are you planning to incorporate the character into our story? We encourage players to actively partake in various adventures/quests/etc... as well as the overarching storyline. We, however, are in rather short supply of foals as those are mostly kept to NPCs, so foal teaching and foalsitting isn't a very active occupation for player characters. Also, your character sounds very stationary and the non-adventuring type, I'd fear you'd be left lingering about most of the time. Are you planning to break her out of the home-body lifestyle?
If you can address these concerns, then we can be on our way to approving your character. Welcome to Celestial Divide.

1. I think knowing a main canon character personally is kinda Sueish, so she simpy has looked up to Twi since she found out she was the element of Magic in a Martin Luther King Jr. kind of way. I figured Best Pony wasn't Best Pony Princess yet.
2. Moonglow could be a great asset to the city's defences, with her magical skills and all. However,being the cowardly pony she is, she has resorted to firing magic blasts to any invaders she comes across while looking for an escape route.What if Moonglow grabbed a few important things and then abandoned her home? What if she was still looking for an escape when the application was posted? Does that work?
3.Yes, since her home is being destroyed, I plan to take her to Canterlot as soon as possible. I plan on doing a few quests, because they sound fun. :3 Also, foal teaching/sitting isn't her special talent, she does it because she needs to earn bits and she enjoys watching foals improve their magic; she was doing the same thing. After arriving in Canterlot, Moonglow plans to try and speed up her studies of magic by joining Celestia's school for unicorns. The entrance exam will probably be much harder, though! So technically she will focus on her studies for the time being. That ought to be very interesting!
Thanks for looking at my application, by the way. I'm happy to be here!

Excellent, was just checking on those things. Seems you're on the up and up with our lore/rules.
Well, I'd say you're approved then. Welcome.

One last concern that was just brought up, how old exactly is she? I figured 18ish in human terms, is that so?

Well, actually she's like 17. Pretty close. After all, 18 is an adult, and she's still a teen.
