||| Compass Rose|||
#Name; Compass Rose
#Age Group ; School-age colt
#Gender ; Male
#Species; Unicorn
#Cutie Mark ; blankflank
#Occupation ;
#Powers and Abilities ; Having focused studying on magic, Compass has become a bit more proficient, but he is still restricted to basic magic.
#Physique ; Compass is at an average height for his age, and possesses an androgynous build overall. Strangely enough, he has a hyper-sensitive horn- while it is just as sturdy as any unicorn horn, it is a lot more receptive to touch.
#Mane and fur color and style ; A cream yellow coat, golden yellow mane brushed neatly.
#Eye color ; grey eyes
#Other appearance details ; wears a pair of reading glasses, although these are purely cosmetic, the lenses being nothing more than just glass to look through. He also has blue, wisp-like markings on his face and body- which are oddly enough part of his fur rather than make-up. It is not known why he has these markings, but a common theory is due to mixed blood.
Regardless, Compass posesses the build of a filly rather than a colt- which more often than not leads ponies to mistake him for a filly.
#Personality ;
Compass Rose, being the youngest of three ponies, has been naturally prone to feeling inferior in comparison to his sisters. This was made even worse not only by the sisters' superstar status, but how they had (albeit intended to be playful about it) teased him for not being a pegasus like them. This had managed to cause the unicorn colt to develop a serious inferiority complex.
This complex of his has prevented him from making friends, as he ends up trying to hide or shy away from them under the belief that he isn't even worth their time. Despite this, he is quite possibly the most gentle colt anypony would meet, having a moral aversion to causing anypony harm, both directly and indirectly. This somewhat extends to the sight of another pony being harmed if he is able to help it- which is one of his more reckless traits, as he is willing to take a beating simply because he doesn't want to see another pony get hurt. Even after being beaten up- he prevents himself from spilling the beans on who beat him up, simply blaming a chronic case of 'bad luck' for being hurt alot. This isn't out of fear of retribution, but due to his desire not to harm another pony- even if they had beaten him to a pulp.
A nervous quirk he possesses is a habit of pushing up his glasses whenever he has some sort of difficulty- be it trouble figuring out what to say, or simply showing concern at a given situation. However, he does take them off every now and again- usually when he gets himself involved in a conflict- a habit he picked up from getting himself beat up a lot in school.
For whatever reason, he as also been quite taken to curling up and falling asleep in front of the fireplace in his house.
#History ;
Born to a pegasus stallion and a unicorn mare, Compass Rose is the youngest of three ponies, and the only one to take after his mother in terms of being a unicorn.
His sisters, Midnite Blaze and Lightning Flicker, were incredibly talented flyers in their own right- however, Lightning Flicker had inevitably begun to tease him, while Midnite Blaze had contributed to this by often forgetting he is a unicorn. While this by itself itself was harmless, the subsequent popularity the two sisters had been exposed began putting pressure on the colt, who quickly began to see himself as pathetic compared to his pegasus sisters. Before going to school, Compass would see that his classmates had already gotten their cutiemarks, something the colt would realize then had not happened to him yet. Although he wouldn't flat out say it, nor did his classmates in Trottingham comment on it, but the fact he was a blankflank only served to reinforce his inferiority complex- and the colt began trying many things to find out what his special talent was, but to no avail.
Eventually, his family moved to Ponyville- where both of his sisters were relatively unknown- but the damage had already been done to Compass, and he would continue to carry his burden in this new town.The Roleplayer's Corner

#Sample RP ; It was about 3 p.m when the train finally stopped, Compass Rose and the rest of his family had collected their things and disembarked the train. Lightning Flicker and Midnite Blaze had immediately taken their rucksacks and took off into the air. "Race you there!" Lightning Flicker told her sister, who smiled and looked at their brother. "Come on comp- Oh right. Sorry!" she apologized before racing her sister in the air. Their father, a tall, brown pegasus stallion, sighed and began to fly as well. "Don't worry, honey- I'll make sure they get to the right house." he stated, flying off to catch up with his daughters, leaving the two unicorns on the ground as they walked down the path, each holding their own bags.
The mare- a dark-blue unicorn with a thick, curly mane, looked at her son and gave a reassuring smile. "I'm sure you'll love Ponyville, Rose." she told her son, who could only force a smile and nod in agreement. He wasn't at all bothered by the fact they had to move away from their old home- he was more saddened by how quickly his sisters had decided to take a jab at his not being a pegasus. The mare nuzzled her son gently, but was able to see though the fake smile.
"Compass, your sisters may have been stars back home, but here- they are just like any other pony. It will be much easier for you to make friends here." she tried to comfort her son, who nuzzled her in return, managing to put on a more genuine smile as he began to follow her down the path. "I-I guess you're right.." he replied meekly, but he knew better- nothing was going to change. As long as he was a unicorn- as long as he couldn't find his talent- everything would be the same as it was before.
