her design;
Heart Tinker is very similar to me actually. Out of all of my fursona's, she is the closet one that looks like me. Recently I have grown a part then my Blue Roan antlered fursona, and decided that its time to make a new one. While I was designing a mlp, I decided to give it a whirl as trying to design a fursona as a mlp. Everything then just worked out from there. I picked the base coat color, since it was a pretty color, light like my skin. Then with the hair, I made it very close to my hair color (my dyed hair color). Then, I have always loved gold, and I do have some highlights in my hair that are slightly similar to my natural hair color. I put those at the ends, since I thought it would look pretty there. Then I added the speckles to it going up the hair, since I absolutely love speckles. Then on the hooves, I added speckles there too, colors being on of her brown hair color, and the gold ends. I then decided that she should be a pegasus, since I absolutely adore pegasus's ever since I was a little girl, owning pushes and sculptures of them. I added the brown to her feathers, and also did the same with the gold on her hair and put them on the tips of her wings. The freckles on her face are not from me though, I do not have freckles, but I simply adored how they looked on her.
her personality;
Heart Tinker is me perfectly. I wanted the personality of my new ponysona to be just like me right now, though maybe a bit more friendly (lol). I did this since when my personality changes gradually, my ponysona can as well.
Though I should explain our personalities. Both of us are very opinionated, and over think things...a lot. Even though over-thinking helps us in someways, it also brings us back since we dwell on problems that we should have just let go. We are both very emotional creatures, even though we sometimes put on a front that we have larger walls around us that can't be touched, but that is not true. Actually, we tend to get hurt more emotionally then others, since we take things so close to heart. We try to fix our friends problems, and sometimes those problems get put onto our shoulders, and they bring us down. When that happens, we get pretty grumpy, and not a friendly person/pony to be around with. It's because we get stressed out and unhappy. When this happens, we lose the people we care about the most because we change, and are not the same. For example, like losing our true love (sigh).
But, we both can tend to pull ourselves out of this, and begin working again to make ourselves happy. When that happens, we are out bubbly happy-go-lucky selves ready to do anything, and ready to make new friends. We both are 'social butterfly's' and we love meeting new people, even though we seem shy and uninterested at some times. We simply enjoy the little things, we don't need expensive stuff to keep our attention and to have fun, we make our own fun! But, we are not always friendly and fun loving, if you sting us, we will sting you back...worse then you did.
the cutie mark;
The cutie mark was actually the most simple part of the design. It came right from the heart.
Right now in my life, things are rough. I have lost friends, a boy that I loved broke up with me since I was increasingly getting more depressed and bitter, and difficulties with health and family. It literally had a mental break down.
Though, I think that break down was needed, since afterwards I felt like I could start over new. After that moment of loss of complete emotional control, I felt...relief. Like I let it all out. So then the process of re-healing can finally start.
But, that still doesn't completely explain the cutie mark and how it relates to helping people that are broken. So I will explain -
Some how, I was always the person where someone would come up to me and talk about their problems. Even when I absolutely did not want any human contact those days, people still came up to me. I wasn't necessarily a close friend, but they came to me, and not their other friends. They trusted me. I always listened, and try not to compare myself to what they are going through. I would give them advice, a shoulder to hold onto when needed. I didn't know if my advice was the best, but I just wanted to help. Later on, those people came up to me and thanked me. They are also the same people who gave me a shoulder to hold onto, when I lost so much so soon.
I have never felt an amazing feeling before helping these people and listening, trying to fix what was broken. I know I can't fix it completely, but I can help mend it through the rough times so they can cope. This gave me kinda a emotional outlet with someone, where you could really talk about something that was important.
So while I was making my cutie mark, I knew it was going to be a heart. I then put the split down the middle, showing the breaking line, whether it be emotional or physical break. I made one side the real heart, still true and unbroken, not tainted by what has gone wrong; your good side. Then the mental side, the mended part, the part that gives you a helping hand while you try to resemble the pieces that have shattered. I'd like to thing of myself as the mental side, that helper.
That's why Heart Tinker is who she is, and that is her talent. She fixes those who need help fixing, until they are strong enough to do it themselves.
