Fancy Pants · 2:37am Jan 18th, 2016
Dear Princess Luna, the last two profiles I am preparing for you in this set are about two members of Canterlot’s elite that stand out above the more selfish, power-grubbing elite that normally come to mind when I think of home. Fancy Pants and his wife, Fleur Dis Lee, present a standard of honesty and good that reassure me not everypony is selfish and lazy like Blueblood.
Always at your service,
Dusk Shine
Name: Fancy Pants
Nicknames: Lord Pants, The Duelist.*
Age: 32
Birthday: February 3rd
Clan: Unicorn
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 173 lbs
Build: Streamlined athletic build.
Hair: Light-medium azure.
Horn: Very pale gray or white.
Eyes: Light azure.
Cutie Mark: Three golden crowns with purple gemstones in the center of the band.
Occupation: Teacher at Ember Grace’s private unicorn university.
Scars or accessories? Several are listed, including a curved scar on his left lip from a training accident, mostly covered by his very neatly trimmed mustache.**
Close relationships: Only colt of Ember Grace, who raised him to inherit the family business, a large private school favored by many of the Canterlot elite that has a history of producing notable military leaders. He has several sisters, some of the older work in the school, while others have moved on or even married into friendly families. I could find out little of note about his younger sisters, but Ember Grace is famously private and protective of the privacy of his school and family..
Personality: Wise and thoughtful for his age, Fancy Pants doesn't behave like the usual selfish and prideful elite. I’d like to watch him more before getting any more specific, but I’ve seen him at charitable events, yet he doesn’t spend hours bragging about it, with such information coming out to the general public only when a reporter stumbles upon it.
Skills and Quirks:
Unicorn Warmage – As a graduate of Ember Grace’s school, Fancy Pants has a much more specific magical education than most schools teach, focused on use of magic in combat, or military uses for normal magic.
Master Fencer – An oversimplification of his martial training, Fancy has been trained in a broad array of combat arts, with a focus on fencing and a great number of combat styles.
Traditional Education – While their school does teach modern matters, much of how they teach and the topics they study is heavily focused back on a long standing tradition that has records going all the way back to Princess Platinum’s royal house.
* - A title he earned by beating a member of the Canterlot University Alumni, Magistrate Rift Song, in a duel for the title itself.
** - Impressively, he has, in a moment of vanity focused on his one facial scar, managed to bring back the mustache as a fashion trend among the nobles by pure bull-headed persistence, causing several other nobles aligned with his family to begin growing their own facial hair where traditionally none but relatives of Starswirl the Bearded have done so.
As usual you have made a great interpretation of a canon character as Fancy Pants has the intelligence, elegance, and noble qualities of his canon, but you also bestowed him with great martial skills to match. Great job.
In another world, the MLP real life movie, Fancy Pants is played by Christopher Lee?
