Physique: While a well aged Stallion, he has a strong physique, much like an earth pony, though not quite as large as say Big Macintosh, still quite enough to be noticeable. With this size a horn proportional to such adorns his head. Age has yet to 'slow him down' so to speak. Mid length mane and tail, showing his tendency to 'let things go' as far as personal upkeep goes, though he keeps himself clean. just not 'clean shaven and hair styled. Wears a simple pair of round rin glasses that perch happily on the bridge of his snout.

-Personality Stuff-
Likes: The fresh scent of spearmint, Cool air, warm blankets, Tea, Books, Libraries, Children.
Dislikes: Getting haircuts, Hospitals, The Icing on Sugar Cookies, Loud Obnoxious Sounds.
Motivation: Faded Memory is motivated innitially by teachers, and now that he is one and has been one for his whole career. He has become all the more motivated by the students that have come through his classes. Watching each of them learn and grow and make friends. Solidifying his place in the world as one of the many who help pass on the knowledge of previous generations to the next.
Strengths: Smart, understanding, and patient.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Absent Minded, situationally socially inept [not good with the mares], doesn't get most comedy.
Fears: Something bad happening to one of his students, and Clowns, absolutely deathly afraid of clowns. So much so, would rather face nightmare moon single handedly, arms with nothing more than a plastic SPORK, than be in the same building as a clown. Also, spiders. Too many legs and stuff.
Overall Persona: Faded Memory is a kind and caring individual, one to go out of his way to help someone, though at the same time he will often forget about small seeming insignificant but important details, such as names, or specific locations of things. Like where in the world are his glasses right now? He spent all morning looking for them. Only to find out, they were on his desk at work because he neglected to take them home with him after work. A lets get it done, practical personality, rather than spend all day TALKING about this big important thing that must absolutely get done at some point in the very near and close future, he would just go out and start getting it done, and worry about talking about how he got it done later. while for small things this works, in the large scale of things, it often takes the same amount of time as sitting down and planning it out first does. Because he will stop and go back and look for people and things and go back for his wallet that he left in his jacket he could have sworn he out on before he left.
Practicality being a forefront thing in his mind, he often stresses the importance of doing things yourself, and while he teaches Unicorns is magic, he stresses the equal importance of actually doing things by hoof. "So, your a unicorn, you can open fifteen jars of preserves at the same time with your magic, and proceed to make peanut butter and jelly sammiches with all that jelly. So what, so can just about any other unicorn on the market. But can you open that stuck pickle jar by hoof? You know, the one the pony that came over to visit you wants to open but cant?" This leads to the butting of heads so to speak with some of the more 'lazy' students who rely too heavily on their magic.
History/Background: The teacher known as Faded Memory grew up in Trottingham, a decent student, and an athlete, though not the BEST athlete, he worked hard to live up to his parents wishes for him. Even back then he had a penchant for doing things by hoof, his mothers raising, since she was an earth pony, he learned early lessons from somepony who couldn't just magic things done. After graduating, he took on some odd jobs and eventually found his niche in teaching at the same school of his graduation, eventually moving from a teachers assistant, to a teacher of his own class and now a professor at one of the most famous schools in Equestria. Respected for his years of reliable service. Though to this day he never fell in love and had his own special somepony. Always too busy, and when he wasn't, he didn't exactly make the best impression on the mares. Hard to be a bookworm, and a bench warmer in the schools local sports team who only ever really got on the feild when the team was ahead and needed to give one of the more capable players a few minutes of break time, and get the mares attention... I mean with all that awesome going on not much time for the fillies, right? Well ok so plenty of time for fillies, just well, if you clam up and can't actually say anything properly in conversation, you just look like a dork. Though after becoming a teacher, the need for a special somepony, felt diminished, after all, it was like having 30 of your own foals, to raise and watch grow. Rather fulfilling.
