Golden Strings


"Mmm, that was cute, gentlemen. But I certainly don't want you to forget — I am Golden Strings, with the golden hooves, and I am going to kick both your flanks this evening."


Parents: Pipsqueak and Diamond Tiara


Species: Earth/Male


Special Talents: Playing the harp, singing


Nicknames: Gold, Strings


Significant Other: (to be continued…)


Voice Actor: TBD


Bio:
Golden Strings is the son of none other than Pipsqueak and Diamond Tiara. And once you get to know him for more than a few seconds, it becomes quite obvious. Golden Strings just simply radiates confidence where he stands, enhanced by the near-permanent smirk he wears. This colt is a well-known citizen of Ponyville, and certainly one of its more popular. He is an up-and-coming musical artist, and his very cutie mark clearly represents such. Often dubbed "Golden Strings with the Golden Hooves" (a title which Gold very much adores and wears it as a badge of honor), this fella is quite adept at playing string instruments, but he shines as bright as the sun when playing on the harp. This boy has a special knack for incorporating what is traditionally a pop or rock song through his harp and creating something beautiful. He can draw crowds as small as a few ponies to a theater-full. Incredibly proud mummy has, of course, ensured he's gotten the absolute best education in all things music.


However, that has left the door open to a certain Spoiled Rich's influence. In attempt to repair their rapidly-degrading relationship, Diamond Tiara allows her son to have a relationship with his grandmare. Spoiled Rich absolutely adores her little grandson, and lives up to her namesake. She has used her financial influence to more than once sway decisions in favor of her beloved little Goldie, and, as such, his attitude isn't the most friendly towards ponies that aren't…well, him. He loves to be showered with praise and adulation over his accomplishments, but his snobbish and pompous demeanor has, more than once, put him at odds with fellow musicians Jetstream and Tourmaline Quartz, the duo forming rival band RazorWingz. After all, just like Nana says. Opening up that kind of dialogue will spell nothing but trouble for his dream career…




Clip Smoothie


"I've been around the block — I see how ponies are when they don't get what they want…"


Parents: Flim Skim and Suri Polomare


Species: Earth/Male


Special Talents: Conning, manipulation (eventually evolving into lawyering)


Nicknames: Clip, Smoothie, Mr. Pink


Significant Other: (to be continued…)


Voice Actor: James Spader


Bio:
Clip Smoothie is the charming, sly, and conniving son of none other than Flim Skim and Suri Polomare, and boy does it show. Residing primarily in Canterlot, Clip is able to manipulate the horseshoes off of nearly anypony. This boy has a tongue of silver and is one hell of a smooth talker (and looking at his parentage, it really doesn't come as any surprise). He even uses his coat color to his advantage. After all, who doesn't trust an adorable strawberry pink pony? Clip hasn't settled down to any specific career outside of small-time gigs (scams), but is frequently contracted as a male model, often showing off his mother's latest line, or engaging in competitions. More than once, his equally well-spoken father and beloved uncle Flam have secured him the trophy.


Clip, as such, is quite confident, cocky, and spoiled simply rotten. This often puts him at odds with the more level-headed and lame Splendor, Vanity, and Bo, who all frequent the same modeling gigs (and are often paired together, much to their chagrin). He and generous Splendor often butt heads and have come to harsh exchanges. They eventually end up despising each other the more they end up working together. However, that means Clip gets to observe her generosity and her kindness towards others. Maybe, just one day, a little bit of that will touch upon the stony cold heart of the con stallion…
