So, i was playing some Morrowind the other day and while harvesting alchemy ingredients i happened to pick up some bittergreen petals.
And then all of a sudden it popped into my head that Bittergreen Petal kinda sounds like a pony name.
And then i designed a character just based around that name because that’s what i do when i get bored.
Bittergreen Petal (alternatively just Bittergreen) is an earth pony herbalist with a particular interest in poisonous or otherwise unpleasant plants.
Also a herbal tea enthusiast, but no one ever wants to try her special brew. Gotta wonder why.
Based the design of her hair on nettles and some vines i saw growing in the yard.
Tried a more yellowy/amber eye colour, i think i prefer it:
The nettle leaf also became her CM. It’s a pretty common, recognisable example of a nasty plant you don’t want to touch, i think. Goes well with her slightly prickly personality.
Seems my characters are never all sweet and friendly for some reason.
Some tweaks to be made, probably. Mainly the eyes, i think. Any thoughts?
