Introducing the Fluttershy/Trixie Hybrid Pony

Hooray, my first factory error/prototype/chinese reject pony is here!

This lovely girl is a mix of Trixie's color palette and Fluttershy's symbol. Interestingly enough the hybrid pony is in a different pose and has a different eye style and color. I think she's a very unique addition to my collection and I adore her! I'm sure that has nothing to do with my love for blue ponies...

I started wondering what I should call her though. I kind of dislike when a name is obviously based on the cutie mark (which in Equestria, ponies don't get until they have an epiphany of self discovery). So I wanted a name that would combine blue and butterflies and came up with Powder. Powder is a type of blue and I also imagine the scales of butterfly wings to be powdery.

Which leads you to wondering what her personality would be like. Fluttershy and Trixie are about as opposite end of the spectrum as you can get. I imagine Powder as a nature lover, and she really loves butterflies and studies them. She's basically the Audubon of butterflies in Equestria.

G4 Powder for Tiella

G4 Powder was made for Tiella in the G1>G4 Swap at the MLP Arena

Remember the line in Winter Wrap Up when Spike asks why they don't use magic to change the seasons like they do in Canterlot? As soon as I saw Tiella's list I knew Powder must be the pony that welcomes winter.



Here's Powder in her packaging. And I think this is the closest pic I have of the cutie mark/symbol of doom.

And Here she is out of the package.

Powder comes with a necklace, that I thought looked a little like a crystal of snow but also like a flower. And to bring her closer to her G1 counterpart I found some antique ribbon at a lace museum near my house. Oh, and you can see her little animal friend, my first FBR.

Unfortunately, when I was creating Powder I accidentally snapped her neck plug, so her head is glued on in a permanent position. Also the glitter I got was the "super fine" kind from the craft store but it still seemed too big! Also, I think I need some higher quality acrylics. I'll hit up the Pat Catans when I go home for Christmas. My favorite thing is the little bit of blush I got on her cheeks :)
