Sun Jewel reference  
name: Sun Jewel  
gender: female  
species: 1/2 Pegasus, 1/2 bat pony  
talent: finding rare and antique jewelry and gems  
backstory: she is half bat pony, half Pegasus, although she has the looks of a full blood bat pony. she grew up in Hollow Shades, a community of mostly bat ponies, with her mother Tulip Feather, a pegasus, her father Crescent Shield, a bat pony, and her twin, jade moon. growing up, Jewel and her sister were bullied constantly because of their half-bloodedness, which resulted in jewel being very cautious and wary of other ponies. she seems pretty laid back, but is actually a little bit of a perfectionist, and gets stressed out very easily. she cares a lot what other ponies think of her, and can be very insecure. she can sometimes be a pushover because of this, and is very cautious of letting her guard down. sun jewel’s talent is finding rare and antique jewels, jewelry, and small items. she travels Equestria to find these items, which she then sells or trades. she also fashions jewels she finds into jewelry for customers on occasion. she got her cutie mark when she found a hidden bracelet in a scavenger hunt, and her talent eventually developed into her current job. jewel works very hard to impress her customers and earn their loyalty. she has several ponies who contact her if they need jewelry, as well as museums who need artifacts to display. while jewel is careful, she is also very adventurous and will go to odd or even dangerous areas to find her wares. as she travels a lot, she has acquaintances and friends in different places around Equestria, who she tries to contact every time she visits. she rents out an apartment in Hollow Shades, but she doesn’t spend much time there. she honesty likes living in Hollow Shades, because although as a filly she was set apart by being half Pegasus, she can walk around freely without being stared at by other ponies because of her bat wings and fangs. while she learned to ignore the stares, which did bother her a lot when she was younger, she does get tired of being stopped and asked about whether she drinks blood or not (which is a myth, only ponies who are bit by vampire bats drink blood).
