Backstory/History
As a filly in Canterlot, Umbratic has always fallen victim to the allure of painting her fantasies and things she found beautiful on canvas. Seeing that she comes from a long bloodline of wealthy artists, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. As soon as she could run, her mother (a pianist) and her father (a sculptor), put Umbra through various art programs until she found her niche: painting. As she grew older, her family's art business boomed and Umbra was immediately recruited to help paint and sell pictures. That's when things became interesting.
Umbra would paint and paint pictures to sell and her customers seemed to be pleased with her whimsical creations on canvas, but her parents were not. They preferred a more realistic and practical style, a style that would never go out. After all, business was business, and as the saying goes: "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." Umbratic's paintings would clutter her room and eventually several storage rooms, waiting to be sold and enjoyed by another pony. Growing tired of this, Umbratic packed her possessions, some of her best works, and headed to Ponyville where she bought a quaint cottage to live in and a stall to sell her works.
Personality Traits
Honest (Negative - Blunt and sometimes too honest)
As long as its true and in one's best interest (or what she thinks is their best interest), Umbratic won't hesitate to inform you of what you need to know. Unfortunately, some people shy away from her because of her abrasive honesty. This proves troublesome to Umbra, as she sometimes doesn't realize that she's hurting ponies more than she's helping them.
Thorough (Negative - Perfectionist. Sometimes obsessive.)
Being a painter, Umbra takes her masterpieces very seriously and wants to make sure that they are absolutely worth their asking price. She can go a bit overboard with this and is known to drive herself crazy adding finishing touches to her artwork.
"No pony wants garbage hanging on their walls, do they?" -Umbratic Shimmer
Motherly (Negative - Overbearing)
Umbra has a special place in her heart for others, especially when it comes to young foals and her friends. She wishes to be there for them and encourage them in everything that they do, unlike what her parents did. Umbratic makes it her duty to protect the wishes and rights of her comrades but like with her paintings, she can go overboard to the point where she may inadvertently drive ponies away.

Hypocrites, pretentious and superficial ponies, fondue, ponies invading her personal space, ponies messing with her artwork, art thieves
Hypocrites, pretentious and superficial ponies, fondue, ponies invading her personal space, ponies messing with her artwork, art thieves
Motivation: Umbra strives to best the best artist Equestria has ever seen and prove to her parents that any style of art can be successful. She also wishes to teach others the importance of being yourself and taking chances when following their aspirations
Strengths: Umbra is a skilled painter and she can draw most things by memory. (Even though her recreations may not be completely accurate, as she adds her own spin to her work)
Weaknesses/Flaws: Umbratic can be overbearing and short-tempered at times, especially when it comes to her artwork and her younger brother, Lunar. This can intimidate ponies and annoy others. (See Traits for more info)
Fears: Umbratic is afraid of ponies losing interest in her artwork and she works hard every day to keep this from happening. She also worries that she may damage her relationship with Lunar or that he may grow tired of her and lose respect for Umbra.
