-General Stuff-
Name: Phenomenal Curiosity
Nickname/Alias(es): Phenona
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Additional Status: Fairly high society, part of the upper echelons of pony high class. Not that she'd ever really care, she just loves to have fun. Not really all that famous by regular folk but in high class functions and balls she's fairly well known, always causing a few whispers and what not. She's quite wealthy, one would have to be to be part of the crowd she is (if you could really call it being part of the crowd).
She has a lovely pet whom often stays by her side, or sits on her back to be more specific. Her little tick tock the peacock. She found the poor thing abandoned one day while walking in her garden, seemed the little cutie was a little stunted in the growth department. He was by no means miniature, but just not that fully grown. The two became inseparable and she named him Tick Tock after his tendency to show his brilliant plumage whenever the clock in the house stuck an hour.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: White, pristinely kept and always rather striking.
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Blonde mane, not what you would call golden or platinum but she loves it all the same. She keeps it in a classic curl do, whatever styles or fashions may come along. She keeps her mane the same, and that's that!
Eye Color: A purple/pink blend
Cutie Mark:
Other Scars/Markings: None what so ever, she keeps herself rather well kept
Physique: Slender would be the word, by no means skinny but certainly not over weight. A little than most mares but not by much, she would blend into a crowd if she weren't so flamboyant.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: A few places around Equestria, she tends to stay in her Canterlot home. However she has a place in Manehatten and other such places.
Job: Nobody really knows, she seems to do everything and anything and all in the name of fun. She's an odd pony like that, although she does more work than some of her high society acquaintances who are comfortable in leisure.
Mother: Baroness Palourmaine – A very uptight noble from Prance, typically what you might think of when you though of the high society stereotype. Not the most warm pony in the world but she'll always have a soft spot in Phenona's heart.
Father: Silk Memory – A hugely popular and well known dress maker and tailor, Phenona's father courted his mother by leaving a little note in each dress he made for the baroness. It was odd that someone of such class like Phenona's mother would marry someone as relatively normal as Silk Memory but the heart wants what the heart wants. Nobody really knows that Silk is her father, she doesn’t mention it when they discuss his work.
Sibling(s): Sadly not, while she always would have liked a companion growing up she was an only child.
Other Family: She has a few aunts and uncles who are the same kind of snooty types that she was used to meeting all the time, their children were much the same so she didn't much care for her cousins as friends.
Closest Friends: Beyond Tick Tock, she doesn’t really have that you would call 'close' friends. That's the problem with high society, its all appearances and no heart or care.
Courting/Courted By: She has a few suitors but she couldn't really care less, none of them are genuine.
Mate: N/A
Foal(s): Not currently, but when she finally does settle she knows she's going to put her all into being the best mom possible!
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: A universally fun loving pony, Phenona loves a lot of stuff. She lives life at whatever pace she feels like and has fun with whatever she does. She has an affinity for dancing, even if she's just walking along she loves walking to a beat. Singing naturally follows that, humming a tune or breaking out into a full ballad because she feels like it. She's not what you might call pigeon holed when it comes to music, she enjoys classical as much as she might occasionally love to dance about to a rock tune. While she might not get into all the techno as much as others, she can still enjoy it if it sounds good. She isn't going to let the preconceptions of her social class (which she doesn't even like) dictate what she should and shouldn't listen to.
She enjoys little treats, the occasional modest piece of cake or a sneaky little sweetie. Just something sweet is nice, there's no need for excess when you can enjoy something small just as much. Food in general, who doesn’t like food? While she might be accustomed to quite refined cooking, once again if something tastes good then who cares? She just wishes she had more time and opportunity to go to more local places instead of all the restaurants and stuff.
A pony who lives in a world that revels in image and refinement, Phenona would be a liar if she said she didn't enjoy it sometimes. The trivialities that the upper class ponies focus on in their little bubbles are always fun, Phenona makes no qualms that her life is very similar yet she is a little more grounded. Still there's a lot to be enjoyed about upper class living, the beauty, the culture, the dresses! Ah its all such a joy, it sounds shallow and she doens't like sounding that way but its hard not to like all the balls and the functions and just all that.
Dislikes: On the flip side, there are some bad sides to the high class life. The lonely feeling that that comes with such a heartless and cold kind of lifestyle can really get to her. High class ponies are shallow and judgemental, while Phenona may not care what they think when she dances into the room some things get to her. No upper class pony has any REAL friends, they have an entourage and followers. There is no heart or genuine feeling to a lot of them, most of them aren't even that nice. They try and seem above just being ponies, which just makes them insufferable.
Phenona also has a distaste for the quiet, now this doesn't mean that she feels the need to make noise all the time. Specifically, quiet days in where you're sat in your living room with nothing happening. She needs music, she needs to get out. She can enjoy a quiet ball or a nice gala because that's a place of social interaction and music and food, sitting on your own in a big empty house in Canterlot is just upsetting. There doesn't need to be a big flamboyant band or big party, but silence just pangs of pain and loneness.
Something that really upsets Phenona is the idea of somepony doing something that they don't enjoy, for reasons that don't pan out. One of the best examples is a pony doing a job they don't like for money, for money that they will spend on things they enjoy. It doens't frustrate her, it doesn’t anger her, it doesn't even upset her. It just makes her stop and think, think why? Life should be just that, life. Fun, free, happy, life should be worth living. She knows she's well off, she doesn't want to be a hypocrite by saying that money doesn't matter. But you should do what you love, and she hates the idea of ponies living life and not LIVING life.
Motivation: What could motivate a pony who everyone might think has everything? Well that's simple, she doesn’t have everything, no pony does. She wants to take advantage of what it means to live life, to have fun. She wants to meet some close friends, she wants to fall in love. She ever wants to have her heart broken, why? Well simple, there is simply no point in living if you aren't trying everything about it. She wants to sing, dance and laugh her way through life, all of life and nothing less.
Strengths: Never having been one to boast, Phenona would never say these things about herself. However despite her modesty, she has a number of talents that she often enjoys practising. The first of these is quite the pleasant singing voice, soft yet full of soul. She could go from a soft quiet sad love song to the most impactful of power ballads. She doesn't do it often but she really enjoys getting on a state with a mic.
Coinciding with her love of music and singing is a love for dancing, swaying her head to the beat as she stepped to the drums has always been her favourite way of getting around. She knows a few dances of the classical times and generally can keep up her paces on the dance floor.
She is also a very loving should, generally she likes helping people and while she may seem aloof is actually very caring. A warm smile from her usually perks up the most downtrodden of souls or at the very least makes them feel like someone cares, she doens't like seeing anypony feeling down. She know's what its like to sometimes feel alone so she'll do her all to make sure no one near here feels like that, just be prepared to be sucked into the whirlwind that is her life.
Weaknesses/Flaws: With her loving attitude comes a tendency to be blind sided by mean acts and nastiness, she can take things very personally. Its that that she takes them overly badly, she can just never see them coming. She'll look at you with a 'what did you expect' look and just laugh at you, but still she doesn't like the surprise. She is also quite eager to find a friend so she comes on a little strong, she does normally but if she thinks you'd make a good friend then she tends to try a little hard. She move so fast that it wears others out and she often seems like she doesn't want to stop, which often she doesn't. She can burn herself out with all her work and fun, it's hit her hard in the past and she has yet to learn her lesson.
With a love of life in all forms you'd think she could handle most that the world would throw at her, the contrary is sadly closer to reality. Occasionally stress gets to us all, and when it hits Phenona she can recede a little. Sitting at home alone is her the thing she likes doing the least but when she's down, that's exactly where she'll end up. Life can overwhelm you and no one is ever ready for it, not least the person who seeks it out.
Fears: Harbouring negativity inside and closing it away so that you can have more fun is great except when the box you hid it in leaks. Phenona has a few fears, some quite irrational that tend to hit at inappropriate times. She's intensely paranoid of accidentally annoying or upsetting a pony, because of her less that normal upbringing and background she isn't too close to what you would consider an everyday pony. She can be a bit too into the upper class and she doesn't want that to reflect on her. She doesn't want to upset ponies or make them feel little, she doesn't want them to treat her differently and it scares her that she can't escape from that if they do. She can't escape where she came from, not that she'd want to. She just doesn't want to be resigned to where she is and how life is now.
She's also scared that she will indeed find no friends, this is sort of a spin off of the previous fear. If she is stuck with the high society life and that alone, she will probably never find a truly loving friend. She'll probably never find a genuine guy to fall in love with, most of the upper class are far to in love with themselves, their money and the status-quo. Three things that she wants nothing to do with, in fact she fears that she might end up like them. Its hard to imagine what these ponies were like in youth but what scares her is if they were life her and became what they are, and that the same might happen to her.
Overall Persona: What to say about Phenona. She's a mystery. She's flamboyant. She's out there. She's a little bit kooky. She loves life. There is so much to say and yet so little known about the girl, you can only say what you see and reading into it is near impossible. She prides herself on doing what she wants and whatever she wants because she feels like it, social normalities of the upper class are nothing to her. She doesn't concern herself with the everyday trimmings of high society, she just goes and has fun. If she wants to go out to a local diner for the sake of it, why not? Why not dance down the street, why not crash a function and start singing. Why not model some clothes in a show because one of the models can't make it.
There are many things to do in life, Phenona wants pretty much to try the best of them. She doens't want to be held down by what she is told she should do, what is said can't be changed. So far she has proven that a pony who is of the upper echelons of society can be fun, they can be down to earth. While some of the more 'set in their way' ponies might turn their noses up at her, most love seeing her arrive at a ball of function. She brings a life to wherever she goes even if its already full of life. She's not looking to make a scene, she's not looking for all the attention. She wants to have fun, she's not loud, she doesn't go around firing off party cannons. She's just there, wherever she is and whenever she is, she'll make the most of it.
That's not to say she doesn't have a real side to her, she can get sad and she can get down. She's not some out of this world alien that has fun none stop. She knows that life isn't all dancing and singing but what she loves is that no matter what, you can always come back. Life may get you down but you can always find a way back up. Beyond all the theories and philosophies about life and what it means to have a good life and all that. Phenomenal is a pony you can never quite figure out, a pony who you never know what is thinking but are always waiting to see what she'll do next. And she wouldn't have it any other way.

i was kinda excited to feel like im back in 2015
