Welcome!
This carrd is dedicated to my MLP nextgen AU. The AU itself and (obviously) this carrd is a WIP and will be updated and made prettier over time.[link to tumblr, link to main carrd, link to mlp toyhouse folder]Thank you!
Age - Foal
Pronouns - He / Him
Pinkie Pie's son. He's just getting the hang of flying - now it's all he wants to do! He is very overprotective over his pacifier and is never seen without it.
She now owns Sugarcube Corner and has a son, Gumball. Pound and Pumpkin work for her and give her the occasional break from her many responsibilities, but she unsurprisingly has everything together. Maybe a TINY bit more mature with age, but she really hasn't changed much. Her greatest struggle is figuring out her friends' schedules so they can all hang out together.
Currently a work in progress! (gotta make their art..)

Age - Adult
Pronouns - She / Her
Big Mac and Sugarbelle's eldest child and only daughter.A reliable and hard-working pony, Daisy is a perfect fit for the many responsibilities she has to take on - from tending to Sweet Apple Acres and helping her parents keep her three little brothers in check, she has a lot on her plate and is good about dealing with it. She can best be described as a "mom friend", always there for everyone; she's a bit overbearing at times though -Daisy unfortunately has a tendency to "take over" projects and is a little too helpful. Her special talent is agricultural magic, always experimenting with spells that can help the farm make the best possible products... She often butts heads with her aunt Applejack over this, who feels that things should be done the "natural way". Outside of farm work, she also enjoys baking as a hobby, something she got from her mom. She is quite pretty, so it's not uncommon for ponies to give her goo-goo eyes - she already has a boyfriend, though.
Age(s) - Colt / Child
Pronouns - He / Him (All three)
Daisy Duke's little brothers. Three peas in a pod and absolute menaces in Ponyville. Though they try to act tough, the one thing they truly fear is making Daisy angry. Despite their annoyances with each other, the three love their sister and are very overprotective over her, especially towards any pony trying to date her - this includes her boyfriend, 4-Speed who they enjoy tormenting on the daily.
Age - Adult
Pronouns - He / HimA minor character; Daisy Duke's boyfriend. His special talent is cart-racing, but he also enjoys other sports.A very shy and weak-willed stallion, 4-Speed often has to rely on Daisy to help and "protect" him. It may be hard to imagine what Daisy sees in him, but his sweet personality shines through when he's with his loved ones - again, he's just shy!
Age - Adult
Pronouns - She / Her
Being the daughter of Discord, it's only natural for Harmony to cause chaos wherever she goes. She struggles fitting in because everything about her is different - even her birth was "unnatural", having been created out of a sliver of Discord's magic. Essentially being a "clone" of her father, this gives her both the blessing and curse of chaos magic, a power she tries to use for good but struggles to control. Harmony is very goofy and sweet but is very sensitive to rejection and her emotions can flip on a dime.
Fluttershy still lives in her cottage with Discord and Harmony. Becoming a mother really helped her gain more confidence, though she's still as softspoken as ever. It's not easy with basically TWO Discords running around, but she knows how to keep them in check. Fluttershy's gained a particular love for kids and enjoys dedicating her free time to them, whether it be volunteering for schools, taking up foalsitting jobs, or opening up her cottage for the local fillies and colts to play with her animals.
still wip need to make arts gh...
Age - Teenager
Pronouns - He / Him
He's not going through a phase; those are just his natural colours! Gideon is mysterious and brooding, a self-proclaimed "lone wolf" that doesn't seem to get along with anyone (not that he really tries). It's hard to tell what goes on in his head... It's not uncommon for Gideon to disappear for days at a time without warning with nobody aware of where he goes or what he does. He was only somewhat recently adopted and he still struggles to adjust, though he's slightly opened up to Rainbow Dash with time - he and Gilda have very clashing personalities and butt heads much more.
Age - Adult
Pronouns - She / Her
Crystal Empire has gotten a bit more diverse in the modern day, crystal unicorns and pegasi are still treated with a bit of mystique - that especially goes for a unicorn like Starbeam. A magical prodigy, she was a local celebrity of sorts in her corner of the empire. With her family and friend's support, she was enrolled into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. She passed the entrance exam with flying colours, only to be met with another challenge - fitting in with ponies just as "special" as she is. Twilight would discover Starbeam at the school's annual Royal High Tea; seeing her potential, she is now her most faithful student.
The pressure of ruling Equestria weighs heavily on Twilight. She's still a bundle of anxiety that's gotten better at hiding her stress rather than managing it. Though she's since taken over most of the royal duties, she has also furthered her magical studies to prepare raising the sun and moon on her own - Celestia and Luna have continued to do this until Twilight is ready. The many stressors in her life has turned her into a more pessimistic pony overall, something that causes even the Ex-Royal Sisters to question their decisions. Having to relearn that there is no shame in seeking help time-and-time again (Old habits die hard!), Twilight hopes to recruit powerful unicorns to help her raise the sun and moon, as was done before Celestia and Luna's reign.
- Starbeam is repurposed from the G4 toy-exclusive character of the same name
- Starbeam being Twilight's student was inspired by the former's "debut" playset, which also came with a Twilight toy. Their meeting at the Royal High Tea (which was taken from the comics) is also a nod to the playset, a castle celebration/tea party
Twilight is in Yuri with pinkie pie.
Age - Adult
Pronouns - She / HerMerriweather is a jack of all trades, master of none. Despite being very judgmental towards her father, Zephyr Breeze, the two are eerily alike. Constantly flip-flopping between professions - one day she's a model, then she's a singer, then she's a fashion designer, a photographer, a chef, a dancer, an artist, and so on. Though unlike her father, her reasons for her indecisiveness is simply being unsure of what to do with herself! Merriweather is in a race against her own brain and can barely keep up, so she tends to get overwhelmed very easily over small things.Living in Canterlot with a famous model mother, Merriweather has some harmful views regarding ponies of "lower status". She isn't intentionally rude though - a lot of her less savory moments comes from pure, air-headed ignorance rather than malice (to put it simply, she pities lower status ponies) and she has often ended up saying very offensive things without even realizing. Having lived a life of luxury, she can't imagine how small-town ponies can live out their "simple" lives! Merriweather is an "acquired taste" that can be hard to get along with but is a loyal and fun friend to the end for those that mesh well with her.
Age - Adult
Pronouns - She / HerA minor character; Merriweather's mother.
- Merriweather's name is repurposed from G3, though not the design itself
- Rainbow Flash is repurposed from the G3 pony of the same name, though her design is largely taken from her G4 redesign
[ Some of my own information on the design, Merriweather was heavily based on a Flutterdash fan-child I made YEARS ago named "Featherlily". From what I remember, the design components are largely the same - her swirly, rainbow mane and ponytail were inspired by G3.5 Rainbow Dash. ]
The beloved heir to the Crystal throne. Contrast to her looks and status, Flurry is actually a bit of a tomboy. She loves jousting in particular and enjoys participating in tournaments (with her identity hidden, of course!) Much like her aunt Twilight, Flurry is a massive worry-wart with a tendency to assume to worst in any situation - which almost always works out in the end. Her greatest desire is to join the Royal Guard like her father, but she's convinced herself that they'll object to it! She's best friends with Cozy Glow.
Age - Filly / Child
Pronouns - She / HerFlurry's bratty younger sister. She is totally self-centered and has a one-sided rivalry with Flurry. Harbouring a not-so-secret - and somewhat unwarranted - jealousy over her sister's popularity, Skyla seems to want all the love and attention despite getting plenty already. Skyla is much more of a girly-girl compared to Flurry and has fully embraced the princess life.
Age - Adult
Pronouns - She / HerMaud and Mudbriar's eldest daughter - her full name is Papagoite Rock Pie, but she prefers to be called Pop Rock. Though Pop Rock lives on the rock farm with her family, she doesn't involve herself in all the rock-farming; her occupation and special talent is arboriculture, or a "tree doctor" of sorts. Pop Rock is super passionate about trees, giving them names and treating them as pets - she's even able to tell trees apart and recognize "her" trees no matter how much time has passed. Pop Rock is very much like her parents; stone-faced, mellow, and a bit of a know-it-all at times... She's not a mean pony though, just misunderstood. Pop Rock seems to be perpetually sleepy, always yawning and dozing off no matter how long she sleeps the night before - that is, until she gets to ramble about trees.
Age - Adult (But young - equivalent to someone just turning 18 to better explain it)
Pronouns - She / HerPop Rock's younger sister. Completely unlike her parents and sister, she definitely takes after her aunt Pinkie Pie. As her name suggests, Rock Candy's special talent is, as her name suggests, making rock candy! That's not the extent to her talents, though, she's a great cook and baker in general. Her dream is to share her family's rock-based recipes all across Equestria - she's yet to figure that out, though. Though fully-grown physically, Rock still has a rather childish mindset. She really loves and looks up to Pop Rock and is always trying to tag-along with her, much to her sister's annoyance.
The best way to describe Cozy Glow is "washed up". Even though the pony she used to be was evil, conniving and manipulative, it was her and it was all she knew - now she has no clue who she is anymore! She's still learning how to be kind and is always making at least a little progress every day. She lives somewhere out in the Arctic Wastes with Tirek.Cozy is very intelligent and a great problem-solver, although her methods may be dubious. She hasn't fully unlearned her more harmful behaviours, especially her manipulative tendencies - it's all she knew how to do, after all. With her dry, sarcastic personality and sense of humour, she isn't the most approachable pony and still needs some time to find herself. She is close friends with Flurry Heart and may or may not have a secret crush on her. Although many theorize that her cutie mark represents her manipulative tendencies, she is also actually quite good at chess (and other board games)
