Description Edit: For those wondering how this was made, here's a video tutorial I cooked up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYu6RO…

While I didnt really intend on drawing/posting her last, the pattern of 'Unicorn - Earth Pony - Pegasi' I had started removed some of the favoritism.  Since every fan has a favorite pony.

While Applejack has at least her mane and tail to blow in the wind, Zecora has even less.  I managed to give her mane some sway and a bit more on her cloak.  thankfully her tail is not as stiff so I Could get some motions there.  I went back several times to put in noticable motions too.  I also colored the particles blue as a wink to the Poison Joak.

But there you have it: The current crew of the Sugarcube.  Or Pinkie Pirates till I think of something better

----

Zecora left her country of origin slightly before slave labor became commonplace.  She considers herself very lucky to have escaped such a fate, but remains hidden from official eyes for fear of being discovered and enslaved.

She made her home deep in the forest outside of Ponyville Docks and over the years befriended many of the locals, including one Twilight Sparkle. Zecora's hut was the best place to get healing salves and anti-scurvy potions essential for sea travels.  While she did not intend to start a business, she was very happy her knowlege of herbs and potion making was so helpful, not to mention she welcomed the pocket change.

Shortly after Twilight saught refuge at her place, she learned that several ponies were looking for her to be enslaved like the other Zebricans.  She was about to leave her hut when she was found.  Without Twilight's help, she might not have escaped and followed her friend on board the Sugarcube.  It is her hope to end the Zebrican enslavement.

Coming up with rumors of a Zebra shaman putting ponies in a stew was easy.  Using special powders and perfumes to create hallucinations that she DOES brew ponies makes it totally terrifying.

I heard rumor that there was a story behind all of these.  Know where I can read it?
(because I love love love worldbuilding, especially when it involves steampunk and mage-punk stuff.)

I could'nt find a sea shanty that suits her, but I did find an old tavern song that may suit her well. Here's the "Nurse of Evergreen" (Parody of Star of County Down)

Link to Original:  youtu.be/LqvmXjji5mo


Near Bucking-ham town, in the Cantery Down
One morning last July
Down her ringed cannon came a Zebrican
And she smiled as she passed me by
Oh she looked amuse from her two bare hooves
To the sheen of her stripey mane
Such coaxing wealth, that i pinched myself
For to see my mind was sane

And from Brayton Bay up to Dairy Quay
And from Gallega to Saddle town
No mare I've seen like the Zebrican
That I met in the Cantery Down.

As she onward sped when i rubbed my head
And I looked with a feeling tame
And I said, says I, to a passerby
"Who's that mare with the stripey mane?"
He smiled at me, and he said, says he,
"She's the gem of Shireland's crown.
She's young Zay-Coora from the banks of the Sheen
She's the Nurse of the Evergreen

And from Brayton Bay up to Dairy Quay
And from Gallega to Saddle town
No mare I've seen like the Zebrican
That I met in the Cantery Down.

Well I've travelled a bit, but i've never been hit
Since my roving career began
But I dropped my jaw as I gazed with awe
To the charms of Zay-Coora
with a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I greet with blush and keen
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the Nurse of Evergreen

And from Brayton Bay up to Dairy Quay
And from Gallega to Saddle town
No mare I've seen like the Zebrican
That I met in the Cantery Down.

So, is this the end of this series? It sounds like you've come up with a lot of world building that extends beyond these animations, are you going to use it in some other way? Fanfic, comic, something along those lines?

That you even remotely considered Luna as a member of the crew has me hopeful that this fiction of yours doesn't have Celestia and Luna as tyrants. Though that really only covers Luna... and isn't even set in stone... D:

I'll start with writing before anything else.. see how far I can get the story without getting stuck in a.. uh.. plothole, as a lack of a better word.  If it holds up, then maybe there's something in there that would be interesting to many

I can't say I won't try, that's for sure ^^

Cirdec In reply to Lionheartcartoon [2013-11-20 00:55:04 +0000 UTC]

If you have an idea for a central conflict (seems obvious it'd be taking down this corrupt government, but plot twist is a pretty cool guy), pretty much anything can be made into an interesting story. Would it end up on FimFiction if you decide it's worth revealing to the public, or would it be posted on DA? FimFiction's a lot easier to track stories on. :P

Indeed. It's why I don't write her in my stories, myself. Pinkie Pie is much easier to write for as she's already infested in my brain like the mind virus/eldritch horror she is.

Don't ruin the fun, not everyone knows that ^^

But basically, yes.  Scurvy is a vitamin C deprivation.
