Additional Status: Discord is the reformed element of disharmony, known throughout the land for his previous acts of mischief and general nastiness. In his defence is was all for fun, regardless he has found it hard to shake this reputation. Many ponies used to run from the sheer sight of him, much to his dismay.

a Draconequus is a beast of many parts, the head of a pony tops him off while the tail of a dragon finishes him of at the end, his pelt consists of not only fur but a few scales and claws also.
Mane/Tail Colour and Style:

Physique: Discord is a slender sort, being the mismatched almagamation of many different parts there is very little consitency to him.

-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
Causing mischief is one of Discord's passions, true he has tone it down as of late because of his reform but he'll never be able to give it up entirely. He rarely takes things to far any more however, but that doesn’t mean he can't still have fun with moderation.
Along with a love of Mischief, Discord is a connoisseur of confusion and riddles, he loves making ponies head's spin (sometimes literally) and is a master at confusion and generally being rather cryptic. His intelligence and usual inside knowledge of things make for a doubly confusing time, doubly annoying as well. This can prove especially funny when teaching Twilight or one of her friends a lesson, or better yet Celestia or Luna.
One thing that Discord love's in life is unpredictability, especially the ponies who are blessed with unpredictable personalities, when things are planned out they are boring, not knowing what's going to happen is always great great fun, although Discord generally likes it most when only he knows what is going to happen and watching other ponies when they try and figure it out.
Change is something Discord practically represents, when things go from normal to crazy he just loves it, When something doesn't work the way its supposed to or something behaves in a way that is the opposite of what it should do, its like music to his ears. Granted he is usually the cause of it but still, you have to make yourself laugh.
Dislikes:
Sensibility drives Discord nuts, where's the fun in making sense? He see's ponies who live their lives sensible and logical as missing out on so much, he often does his all to try and help them see that chaos can be a lot of fun, however he usually takes it a little to far.
Another peeve of Discord's is sitting still, he prefers to be up and doing something, sitting around doing nothing is not only boring but there's little to no chance of something great happening. When you're up and out you can have all sorts of fun.
Discord really is trying to be a good guy, and while understanding why ponies might be sceptical, the ones that adamantly will not give him a chance get on his nerves. It sets him back slightly when some pony will not believe him at all when he says he is reformed, and he will then usually go on to try and prove them wrong.
Having recently been on the wrong side of a betrayal, Discord has found a deep seated pain that comes from being hurt by someone he considered a friend. He found it to be more than a little hurtful and while it may have lead to his discovery of how much Friendship had changed him, he will never let it happen again. More hurtful is the scenario that even led to that turn of events, his betrayal of his friends haunts him to this day and he will make sure it never happens again.
Motivation:
Discord wants to be good, he's realized how good friendship feels and he doesn't want to lose it, however the majority of ponies fear him and want nothing to do with him. His main goal in life is to change the minds of those ponies and prove that he is at heart, a good guy. Day to Day, Discord just wants to have fun, its slightly counter intuitive to trying to prove his reform, however he's trying to have more fun with ponies rather than using ponies to have fun, so he goes about his days having fun with ponies and usually changing at least one opinion about him.
He also enjoys proving he is a good friend, having tea with Fluttershy or helping Twilight with her new royal duties is also a delight. Especially since they usually provide great opportunities for mischief.
Strengths:
Discord isn't the lord of chaos and mischief for nothing, his powers are almost unmatched in the art of causing a little bit of chaos, with a click of his fingers he can change the very nature of reality itself to fit his more than chaotic. Along with the power to fly, teleport, shape shifter, and affect ponies mind, Discord is a very good manipulator of ponies, not even needing to use his power, he can twist a ponies view. However he rarely does anything of these things with an intent of malice any more. At heart Discord is a caring sort, he values the friend(s) he has and will do anything to keep them and make them happy.
Often more intelligent that ponies would assume, Discord also enjoys playing his sly cards right and fooling a pony. He is good at deciphering the unobvious, mysteries are his bread and butter so it makes sense that he'd be good at solving them himself. He keeps what he knows to himself, only really ever letting slip little clues and hints of what he knows when trying to teach one of his friends something. Its always fun seeing Twilight's face when she figures out one of his annoying clues, he does take delight in that.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
Discord is a mischief maker (as if that weren't obvious), but his actions are all in good fun, he can sometimes take things too far and end up hurting a ponies feelings or even worse, hurting them for real.
Discord is good and he knows it, and is not ashamed to point it out. His arrogance can get quite grating and some ponies dislike how hearing how spectacular he is or can be. With this comes his over confidence, in the past it has lead to his defeat and he hasn't entirely learned from it, although he has gotten a little better.
Discord has a one track mind, he is an advocate for chaos and unpredictability, however he can't see things from a sensible stand point because of it, he cannot understand reason or logic when it comes to making decisions, and as such has trouble relating or offering the best advice to somepony.
The one thing that can defeat Discord without question are the elements of harmony. If he is subjected to the powerful rays of harmony that he will be sealed in stone until some pony releases him or the bond weakens (which will take a thousand or more year.) He hopes to never give the elements a reason to unleash their power on him however.
Fears:
Discord's biggest and greatest fear is losing his best friend Fluttershy, he doesn't want to do anything to risk losing his first trusting friend. Having earned the trust of Twilight and the others, Discord's fear of giving them a reason to freeze him in stone had faded and been replaced. Now he fears of disappointing his friends again, he still feels the sting of Fluttershy's tears from betraying them. He's not concerned with himself, he simply doesn't want to hurt them again.
Confounding this is the idea that he could let himself fall from grace again, that is a thought Discord doesn't like to dwell on. He is not usually a serious sort, very rarely slowing down and feeling many real emotions but those kinds of thoughts do exist in his mind and they cause him to take a second when he does think of them.
Overall Persona:
What can be said about Discord?
He is a brilliant, amazing, unparalleled trickster and mischief maker. Discord aims to bring fun and excitement to ponies in a way they aren't used to, and does so with his amazing powers of disharmony. While it may sound like a sinister cause, Discord is only trying to have fun and show ponies there is more to life than sensible and predictable. His reform taught him how amazing friendship could be and he truly feels this way now, he is no longer the mean trickster he once was. He is still quite the chaos creator, but simply with less malice but no less annoying.
While he may have trouble drawing a line for himself, he does his best to make things fun. However he can be slightly arrogant in his cause, his reform may have changed his ways and converted him to good it didn't rewrite his personality, he still loves both himself and chaos only with different intentions.
Discord is best described as predictably unpredictably, you can always expect him to do something a bit crazy and chaotic, its just his nature. If you allow yourself to enter his little realm of madness there are little ways to have more fun. Discord is a caring sort in his own weird way, once he befriends you, there is little he wouldn't do for you, despite his past, Discord truly is a brand new Draconequus, using his powers for the magic of friendship among other things.
Once a creature that didn't even understand the idea what friendship was or meant, Discord has recently realized just how important it was. He trusts and cares for his friends, despite sometimes giving them reason to not reciprocate those qualities. He holds the notion of trust close to heart, only realized that when he was betrayed by Tirek. In fact it was that entire incident that finally made him respect what Friendship meant to him, more than just his friendship with Fluttershy but with all ponies. Regarding all of the elements of harmony, whom were once his sworn enemies as his close friends.
Can't get more chaotic than that in his mind, not that chaos was all that mattered in that scenario. All in all it turns out there's a lot that could be said about Discord. He's kind, caring, silly, chaotic, maybe even out of his mind. Whatever you want to say about him, he knows himself. He loves his friends, he loves Friendship and he will do all he can to uphold it. While he may have his weak moments he has learned from them and learned more importantly what friendship is and who he can consider a friend...Just don't be around when he's sick.
i was kinda excited to feel like im back in 2015
