Reference for my batpony OC, Flicker Flash, aka Snappy!

Miscellaneous facts
🔴 She's from an alternate Equestria that has modern technology.
🔴 Her talent is photography, mainly of city scenery and lights. This is represented by the lightning bolt "flash" symbol in her cutie mark. The single diamond is similar to those more commonly seen in magic cutie marks, but it's believed that in this context it's representing a spark of light.
🔴 The nickname her friends call her, "Snappy", comes from when she first started using a camera and would say "snap" whenever she took a picture
🔴 She is often very enthusiastic, but if she doesn't want to do something she will be very adamant about it. She is also incredibly optimistic and likes to capture images of happy moments to show the good side of ponykind, especially in places where it is stereotyped that ponies act cold, such as in the big cities. Her various methods of picturing light also show a similar message of positivity, metaphorically.
🔴 She becomes very distraught when she can't think of a way to help somepony who seems to be in need. She often gets herself involved in other ponies' issues and feels personally responsible for anything that goes wrong even if it isn't her fault, taking the blame for things when it isn't necessary. Though her heart is in the right place this has gotten her in trouble before.
🔴 Despite being a grey bat pony she is not nocturnal. She has "pony eyes" and not slitted "bat eyes" meaning she cannot see in the dark. (She is 1/4 pegasus, her father Emerald Quill is half pegasus and her mother Lightning Flash is a batpony.)
🔴 Almost ironically she really likes to take photos in the evening, sometimes with her friend, Crepuscule.
🔴 Natural hair colour is white with a tiny hint of yellow. She dyes her mane, but left it to fade on her tail and a small bit of her mane that she braids. (As the colour is fading out, her natural colour still doesn't show)
🔴 Her mane is quite messy and long, so it falls in different ways. The only things really consistent is her fringe and her braid.
🔴 Sometimes, such as when she's travelling to more rural areas, she ties her mane up in pigtails so it doesn't drag on the ground. However she almost always keeps the braid, though she does use different hair ties ; )
🔴 She has a cousin that she doesn't remember ever meeting, as they only saw each other when they were really young.

I used essentially the same template as Cherry's reference, but tried to adjust for the things I didn't quite get right last time.
