This is the story of my Original Character Purple Artist who's a moderate purple alicorn with Croatian blue eyes also his cutie mark is a #2 pencil where he loves to draw (since his name has Artist in it). He has a brother and a sister who are older than him where he older brother dislike him and his sister always protected him from there older brother harshness. He's also married to a mare named Target Deadeye-Artist who's a unicorn cream mare, moderate blue & orchard blue mixed hair. and light Persian blue eyes
The mane 6 and other ponies are mentioned but not main characters either minor or mentioned only
Purple Artist is a nice alicorn (just don't push him or try to change his beliefs nor try to brainwash him or mind control) this will follow him since he is a new born foal then jump to when he's 18 to and watch him age up to 21. He's a pony he makes mistakes, he feels pain, he has emotions, he get's sad, happy and excited and so on but he loves his family and his brother as well even though the 2 don't see eye to eye. Purple is also very patriotic but this is his life in Equestria but he dislike City ponies, the rich and cities where he loves the countryside. He prefers to be bossed around by a mare over a stallion but he loves mares and will kiss his mare friends on the head but his wife only get's kissed on the mouth.

He hates lying and he will come clean to his wife if he does anything bad which she usually forgives him or lightly scold him but not yell at him but he loves his family and friends but he hates traitors of Equestria and the enemies of Equestria. He loves lasagna and pie (mostly apple) but he loves to sing and have fun (including while he's married but hates affairs even if the missus wants him to bang one of her friends for one reason or another).
