Description

Thanks to EStories' stream last night, I realised I hadn't written the back-story thingy I was planning for this OC, which I was sorta building on my experiences with her in Legends of Equestria. So I figured, I may as well write one now. I didn't want to just update the original vector of her, so I threw this vector together, and wrote it below.

Here's a link to the original vector so you can see her Cutie Mark clearly: zacatron94.deviantart.com/art/…

So, here's some info stuff about Sweep Star:

Her special talent is the ability to map out areas in her mind. She can memorize just about everything about an area, the landmarks and other small details to create a sort of GPS map in her mind, so she never gets lost, and can always find find her way around maze like areas. This ability comes in very useful for venturing into the Everfree forest where she spends most of her free time.

Her dream is to one day join the Royal Guard, and she spends almost everyday training to build up her combat skills, which aren't all that good. She's clumsy at close combat and instead fights with a more tactical approach, using high ledges and dark corners to hide and ambush her targets. Her targets are mostly Timberwolves, because they can pull themselves back together, so there's little risk of actually killing them, plus her wooden sword won't inflict much damage to them. If the situation gets too dangerous she'll take to the air and use her "mind map" to escape the area and quickly get to safety.

When veturing into the forest, her attire includes her wooden sword, pair of shoes designed for the Gala, and armored shoes for her hind legs. She bought the Gala shoes from Rarity's boutique, so as to have some sorta protection for her front legs. The armored shoes she found once while exploring the Everfree. They were half buried in dirt near the Princess' old castle. She's sure there are more pieces to the armor, but has been unsuccessful at finding the rest.

She takes it upon herself to guard ponies whom plan to venture into the Everfree, escorting them to where they want to go using the fastest and most protected routes she knows. When guarding a pony, she'll never leave their side until she's sure they are safe, throwing herself into certain peril if it means it saves the pony she's guarding.


So, yeah. That's as much as I can come up with for her back-story/personality thingy.

Here's the events that pretty much inspired the back-story:

When I was playing the game, I spent a lot of time in the Everfree forest killing Timberwolves, thus I quickly got to know the area well, and very rarely got lost. I always managed to find my way out quickly. It's a good thing too, 'cause when ES was doing his Legend's of Equestria stream, I was deep in the forest, so I rushed outta there and to the hospital to find him, and I pretty much stalked him for the rest of the stream...

While hunting for Timberwolves, I found that if I stood up on a rock or ledge, I could attack them, and they couldn't attack me. So I would lure them to the ledge, then fly up onto it and attack from above. As time went on, I managed to get enough coins to purchase the parts of the outfit Sweep is wearing in this image. As I learned how to use the attacks more effectively, I stopped attack from the ledges and instead went head on, and actually beating them, even taking on more than one at a time. Eventually I got enough coins and bought the entire armor set. I was gonna vector it at some point, but don't really want to anymore...
