#Personality ;Spiral is a quiet pony and generally keeps to himself. He's not especially outgoing and tends to the more shy and timid spectrum. Being so large, its surprising how much he just wants to stay out of everypony's way. It just isn't his thing to go out of his way to bother other ponies, even when he's feeling lonesome and out of place. He'd much rather wait for them to come to him, then he slowly but surely opens up as he listens to their problems and maladies. He's more of a listener than a talker and does his very best to help anypony who needs it.
Being so subdued, one wouldn't think Spiral was very emotional; quite the opposite is true. For a stallion, Spiral is pretty intouch with his emotional side and tends to wear his heart not only on his flank but on his hoof as well. He's surprisingly opinionated and while he is timid, he's also not likely to let other ponies push him around when it comes to what he believes is right and wrong. He has a very sturdy moral code and he can become pretty obstinate, in his own way, when he feels like one of his sacred rules is being broken.
His cutie mark is a heart and it truly fits who he is; Spiral's heart is massive and he's very empathetic. He has a hard time being around those who are in pain and it bothers him to see two friends or lovers in a quarrel. Furthermore, he seems to have a deep understanding of love and it having very few boundaries, hence the rainbow of colors in his cutie mark. He is a firm believer that anypony can love anypony else. Maybe he's a bit of a hippy in that way.
While he isn't a push over, its not likely that he'd get violent or even loud with another person. Should he come into a disagreement with someone else, generally, he seems to get very quiet and very calm. He doesn't lose his temper easily and is generally extremely patient, to a fault even. So when arguments come up, he's always the more level headed and a sort of voice of reason.
While he has never had a significant other, he does hope one day to, whomever or whatever that significant other may be.
#History ;
Spiral Heart was born in Manehattan but his family moved to Ponyville when he was very young, meaning he never picked up the city slicker attitude. Instead, he was very much a country mouse, enjoying the quiet outdoors and never really having many friends. He had a bit of a lonely childhood since he was painfully shy and lived in a single foal family. Both parents loved and adored him very much and were definitely on the peace and love and happiness side of the spectrum.
Or to put it more bluntly, they were hippies. Their move from Manehattan to Ponyville was to "throw off the bridle of the oppressive city" and to "gallop free and wild in the country." Spiral never understood his parents but he could respect one thing; they were open to any form of love imaginable. They always used to tell him that he was in no place to judge anyone for who the loved because, sometimes, coming to grips with the person that you were meant to be with wasn't always easy.
Spiral, who was young and naive, didn't understand how it couldn't be easy; you either loved them or you didn't. What more was there to it?
He found out when he hit school age and had his first crush. Unlike normal little foals, Spiral's first crush wasn't a little filly whose tail he pulled. It was another foal. It was a monumentally confusing moment for the young stallion who was instantly thrown into uncertainty. The only kind of relationship he'd ever seen growing up was between his two parents and they were opposite genders.
Uncomfortable and afraid, he withdrew from everyone, not wanting to talk about his feelings or let anyone know what was wrong. His parents worried about him constantly because, while he'd always been quiet, he'd never been so distant and cold; he'd always talk to them about his day and any problems he may have had. Finally, his father took him aside and tried to talk to him.
Stressed from holding all of the emotions that were far too complex for a young foal, Spiral Heart let it all out, telling his father about the other foal at school and how he felt so ashamed and embarrassed and confused. His father nodded and listened quietly, patiently and then wrapped a hoof around Spiral, leaning down.
And his father talked to him for several hours about how there were just different types of love. And over time, his parents' words suddenly made sense. And as all the pieces clicked into place and as he accepted who he was, his cutie mark made its appearance. It was the proudest day of his life.
Things didn't get easy over night. He still had a lot of growing up to do and while he accepted that his first crush had been another foal, he'd been too shy to act on it. The other foal moved off and Spiral Heart moved on, finishing out school and soon attending further studies to become a counselor. He returned to Ponyville after wards as a couples counselor and set up shop there, though he does still travel between cities for clients.The Roleplayer's Corner

#Sample RP ;
Spiral Heart moved through the market crowd with easy, his larger size making the smaller ponies part easily. He still gave murmured "excuse me's" as he went though; he had always been a stickler for good manners. His dark blue saddle bag was currently empty but it was his hope to fill it up with a few quick groceries and then head back home.
He approached an apple stand and after a bit of quiet bartering, walked away with half his saddle bag full of golden delicious. Soon he'd done the same with all of the other stops on his list and he was just beginning to think he'd be finished early when he ran right into somepony.
... Rather tripped over them.
Grunting and scrabbling to get his hooves back under him, he looked back at who he tripped over and quickly stood up. "I'm so sorry,"he said, feeling sheepish and embarrassed. All of his purchases had been strewn out from the force of his trip, and he began to careful gather the nearest items back up into his saddle bag. He then turned to help the other pony up, lifting them easily and brushing them off.
It was a smaller earth pony and they seemed a little dazed. Spiral glanced them over and they didn't seem hurt...
