Although you may not be my ponysona anymore; You will never be forgotten, and you will always hold a special place in my heart.

My newer watchers may not recognize the pony on the right, however, my older watchers and friends who have been with me from the start will. She's the one and only; Blood Moon.. My original ponysona.
When I first entered the brony fandom, Blood Moon was the very first pony I ever designed back in 2013 or so; and she quickly became my ponysona.. The original representation of me in pony form. At that time, it was pretty accurate. I went through the edgy, red/black punk phase — As a lot of girls do, lol And Blood Moon represented a part of who I was or wanted to be back then. I had matching red and black hair as well; So design wise, she wasnt too far from my actual style. However, I also designed her before the show shed light on cutie marks true meaning; So Blood Moon's cutie mark became more of a literal cm than a talent after wards. (Like Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon) And although I still absolutely am in love with eclipses, both solar and lunar; over the years I felt myself maturing and the person Blood Moon represented was growing up too.. So it came time to create a new ponysona; to represent the new me. And so I created Pancake.
My new aesthetic is more towards cute, softer things.. I love soft pinks and although I do not have freckles myself, I gave freckles to Pancake because I adore the look of freckles on ponies Pancake's cutie mark reflects me more now, with a symbolism for writing and creativity in doing a hobby I love and one that has brought me so much joy and friendships.. not to mention love.
Even the species preference changed. I loved pegasi, and flight had always been a fantasy I loved to incorperate.. however; When it comes to comparing me and my personality towards the species given, I relate more towards a unicorn than a pegasus.
Although Pancake is now the face of "iPandacakes", that is not to say I have forgotten about Blood Moon.
Even though she doesnt represent who I am anymore, she is still a part of who I was. And that means I'll always have a place in my heart for her; even if I draw Pancake more than her now. She's still there; and as an OC, I never would've gotten where I am today if I had never created her. Seriously, Blood Moon is THE reason I met my boyfriend Travis, and the reason I'm happily living with him after all these years. Its funny how a simple OC creation could lead to me finding the love of my life Not to mention some of the best friends a girl could ask for !
Sheesh.. Didnt expect to get so emotional They're just OCs, I know; But I would be nothing without them. <3
Pancake and Blood Moon are two of a kind, and always will be.
