Awesome.

Okay, this'll take a bit of explaining. Since I can't draw a straight line I used the pony creator to make some scenes, but that's not exactly what they'd look like, just… close-ish. Feel free to skip the wall of text you'll find, if you like. The Cliff's Notes version is, Winter Shade is the daughter of Nyx and Snowdrop. (Because, magic. Like I said, Cliff's Notes version.) Blind, clairvoyant, weird, usually proud of it. Schoolteacher by day, sometimes paranormal investigator by night. The eye cutie mark is because she "sees" what goes bump in the night. Apple Spice is the daughter of Big Macintosh and Zecora. Very strong, very brave, knows a thing or two about her ma's brand of magic, has made quite a career for herself combining Apple Family farming techniques and zebra magic. Same cutie mark as G3 Apple Spice, the flowers representing the sort of plants that Zecora's potions tend to be made of, beside an apple because... apple.

So, here's the scenes. The gray pegasus is Winter Shade. The zebra hybrid in scenes 2 and 5 are her best friend Apple Spice. Those are the two I'd want, but with a few differences:

First, needless to say, the mane and tail styles and exact pattern of zebra stripes need not be exactly the same. It's sort of an idea of what they'd look like. The idea of Apple Spice's hair bow is less "Apple Fritter repaint" and more "Kinda like AJ, she keeps it tied in a simple keeps-my-hair-out-of-my-face manner so she can get down to business."

Winter Shade also has a small, magical-looking crystal worn on the back of one of her forelegs, looking like an anklet. (This contains a spell that translates text to speech. Her poor students thought they'd not get homework because a blind teacher couldn't read it… no such luck. The crystal is such that it won't bump into things as she walks. She's good at navigating, but not so perfect that her shins never get bruised. …It's okay if she has a scratch or two on her leg from a thing or two she ran into.)

Apple Spice, in addition to the left ear being damaged, has a lot of scars, though they're very old. A misadventure in the parts of the Everfree Forest even Zecora avoids left a few marks on her when she was a filly. They've faded some but are still visible; it's clear that it didn't just happen.  Also, Apple Spice should look more solidly built - not on steroids, but it should be clear that, though a bit shorter than Winter Shade, Apple Spice is quite strong.

As for their expressions, Winter Shade should be quite cheerful, but not looking directly at Apple Spice, or anything else, since she can't see. Apple Spice's is more subdued, she's enjoying her friend's silliness.

Points within a couple minutes!

Sorry I forgot to add it would be on the base shown above so I couldn't really change much without it looking weird but I did draw your characters! I am so sorry it took so long,      here are the drawings!

Thanks! They look great. Since I hadn't heard anything for a bit I was starting to wonder if you'd forgotten.
