-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
He loves to explore the equestrian wilds and see everything the land has to offer. He loves finding a hidden waterfall and swimming in the cool water. In his spare time he usually practices what few spells he uses, mostly manipulating rope and blending in with his surroundings. His favourite foods include dandelion salads and apples, unmatched however is his insatiable love for apple muffins with a big mug of cider.
Dislikes:
As a foal, Afraid Knot was caught in a raging blizzard. He survived by weaving some vines into a sack and hiding for three straight hours. This was his first time exercising full control of his magic, and earned him his cutie mark. The experiance left him with a rather extreme dislike for cold weather. Somehow he is frequently finding himself in the presence of mythical creatures who tend to harass him without provocation and completely uncontrollably. With the exception of cockatrices((cockatri, cockatricies,what's the plural there?)) They all give him a good and honest fright.
Motivation:
He has been living from one camp site to the next his whole life and now that he is on his own, he feels it may be time for a change. he has searched the west, and poked about in canterlot, but cant find a place where he fits in and can be comfortable. The search for an accepting community and the mysteries of friendship drive him ever forward and in the direction of ponyville. His drive and hard working nature have always pushed him to further his skills and magical abilities.
Strengths:
He is able to survive off the land even in the harshest conditions. Afraid Knot has an incredible drive to keep moving forward, which contributed to the limp that has been with him for a decade. Having broken his right hind leg durring a rather perilous climb and still making it to the top may sound impressive but the fallout is a constantly present reminder to respect his limits. Limit however is not a word he has ever associated with rope. There is nothing he cannot do with a rope, in fact he has developed several knots that have never been seen before, allowing Afraid Knot to make intricate creations from just a single length of rope.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
living exclusively with his family and away from urban areas has left Knotty with severely lacking social skills. This contributes to a debilitating anxiety disorder that forces him away from populated areas and prevents him from approaching new ponies. With nopony around to help keep Knotty grounded, his relentless drive to push himself gets him into trouble. Several times he has found himself entwined in ropes from a particularly tricky new spell, or saving himself from a sticky situation that he never should have been in. unfortunately he hasn't had access to many books so his range of spells is fairly limited but he has absolutely mastered the few he has practiced, or so he believes.
Fears:
Most of Knotty's fears revolve around being the centre of attention and mythical creatures. Even the tiny parasprite fills him with dread. His biggest creature related fear however is dragons. No matter how kindly the dragon seems, it always ends up being dreadfully mean to Knotty.
Overall Persona:
this is one tough pony, able to tackle just about any physical challenge, and bright enough to engineer a way to fix most any broken item. There is a wild drive within him that pushes him to better himself in any way possible. This drive is currently pushing him towards overcoming his fear of crowds and into the world of friendship. he finally stands alone, away from his parents for the first time. The possibilities are so incredibly endless. He can finally see what its like to sleep in a bed, spend a winter indoors, and carry on a conversation with somepony new. Of course before he can exercise his new found freedom he needs to overcome his raging anxiety, and somehow insert himself into a world that he has never experianced. Most days as he sits and picks at his lunch he wonders what it would be like to share it with somepony, or even what its like not to need to forage his own food. while he is a rough pony, if anypony were to get through his tough protective shell, they would find a wonderfuly quirky and fun loving pony. Hopefully Knotty can find some friends with whom he can truly be himself and have a fun time. Worth mentioning as well is his affinity for rope, string, vines, or threads of any kind. His very favourite activity is magically manipulating rope into fantastic shapes and intricate knots. He has done this so much that he actually does it without thinking quite often. He finds this slightly problematic now that he is on his own. Daisy, his mother, used to let him know when he was absent mindedly using his magic, now it has a tendency to run away and tangle around trees, or even Knotty himself. Some nights he dosnt even remember weaving a hammock, yet he finds himself laying in one staring at the stars.
History/Background:
This unicorn was born to an earth pony mother with a talent for growing flowers, and a unicorn father who could make a home absolutely anywhere. His father had a thick hide and disliked most ponies which was convenient considering he was a survivalist and preferred living in solitude. Daisy and Knotty were, infact the only ponies Gruff got along with but what love and kindness he withheld from the world, he showered upon his family. Knotty learned all about flowers at a young age. His mother, Daisy, was ferociously determined to seek out every type of flower in Equestria and beyond. Having heard tales of a wondrous purple flower that blooms only in the coldest reaches of Yakyakistan, she always dreamed of making the trek to find it. Afraid Knot however was so traumatized by being caught in a blizard as a foal, that she could not bring herself to ask him to go on such a cold journey. Gruff took great pride in teaching Knotty everything there is to know about surviving off the land. Seeing at a young age that Knotty loved playing with rope, he constantly encouraged him to bring one along wherever he went. It didnt take long before Gruff passed on everything he knew about knots and Afraid Knot took off independently exploring the endless possibilities of a piece of rope. he would often practice by making a vine twist and turn through the air so his pet cockatrice, rocky, would chase it. even though it was tough to work with rope without his full magical abilities, he soldiered on with the incredible determination and work ethic he learned from his parents. When the time finally came, and Knotty decided to follow his heart and experiance life on his own, his parents bid him a tearful goodbye before embarking on an epic journey north, far beyond the Crystal Empire. Knotty has poked around in Canterlot and the west, but something pulls him toward Ponyville. He has been there once before long ago when he had just finished a camping expidition through the white tail woods, where a small baby dragon hit him with a sparkly sapphire and left a jagged scar below his left eye. Daisy convinced gruff to take him to Ponyville for treatment and the lovely town and friendly ponies have stuck with him ever since. now camping just outside Ponyville, he feels that perhaps it could finally be time to settle down and conquer his inner dragons.
