"My mother once told me, 'You are who you are, nobody else.  Make the most of yourself, because you're the only person in the world quite like you.'  I was once made fun of because of who and what I am, but those days are in the past now." --Mythril

Type of character: Sonicverse

Name: Michelle "Mythril" Hikare (her last name is pronounced "high-CARE")
Age: About 20
Gender: F
Species: Winged pegasus (Mobian)
Occupation: Lyricist to Ozone the Pangolin

Family and associates:
Only child to her single mother, Elizabeth Hikare.  Flight member of Team Treble.  Single; not looking.

Appearance:
Mythril is built fairly averagely for a Mobian.  She's mainly white in color, with a silver mane and tail.  Her wings are light green; naturally they're white, but she dyes them because green is her favorite color.  Her eyes are blue, and her muzzle is flesh-colored and has no fur.

Her typical dress consists of a dark green tank top, blue jeans, white gloves like many Mobians wear, a digital watch with a around glass face, and white-and-green Nike shoes.  She often carries a notepad and pencil.

Personality:
Mythril is a little antisocial.  She always worries that people see her as a freak, due to her mythological species.  If you can catch her in her comfort zone, though, she's an easy person to get along with.  Since becoming Ozone's lyricist, she's become somewhat more open and outgoing, but is still fairly timid and easy to intimidate; however, if the chips come down and something she values is at stake, she can be very brave.  She is fairly organized, preferring to do everything by the clock, and is easily unsettled when her schedule is disrupted.

Over the years, she has had a few different hobbies.  When she was in grade school, she was heavily into video games; as she got older, she transitioned into watching action flicks on TV.  Two things she's always enjoyed, though, are outdoor stunt flying and writing.

Abilities:
As a winged pegasus, Mythril is not just capable of flight, but very skilled at it.  She can carry a decent amount of weight, but she's specialized for agility over power or endurance.  She's an excellent aerial acrobat, capable of all sorts of stunts.

Mythril is also an excellent writer of many different genres, and has a creative mind good for solving problems of all sorts.

History:
Mythril had a tough time in school from the beginning; being a mythical species meant she got a lot of attention, which in turn led to a lot of bullying.  The fact that her father died in an airplane crash just compounded the situation.  A tangle of emotions, Mythril used many different strategies to keep herself calm: keeping a strict personal schedule so she could maintain control of some aspect of her life, writing poetry and prose to vent her emotions, and flying to get her distance from the world, to name a few.  Thankfully, her mother supported her all the way.

Not much changed as the pegasus advanced from one level of education to another.  An encounter with a dragon from far away gave Mythril a desire to travel and see the world, but having a single parent meant she typically didn't have the wealth to do so.  Shortly after she got out of high school, though, she got an opportunity that turned everything around.  Rock musician Ozone the Pangolin was looking for a lyricist, and although Mythril wasn't familiar with Ozone's music, she applied.

As it turned out, Ozone and her agent, Copper the Bull, liked Mythril's work, in no small part because she just liked to write and wasn't blinded by fandom like most of the other applicants were.  The pegasus got the job, and has been writing Ozone's lyrics ever since.  Mythril enjoys the gig, in no small part because nobody in the music business seems to judge her by her species like in school.

Misc. info:
Although she's been tempted, Mythril has never hidden her wings in order to appear more normal when going out in public.  Her mother talked her out of it quickly, making it clear that she needed to be proud of her identity instead of trying to hide it.

Mythril was the very first Sonic fancharacter I designed for DeviantART, and there have been many.  She has something of a history, having seen use in various forms in various eras; she was used most extensively in the ChaosAngel5 era, appeared in an RP and a couple follow-ups in the Amaramis era, and then went unused until well into the lizardman22 era, when I wrote Rocking Colossal.  But only now has she received anything resembling a proper profile.

I've known about her for a while, and know she's one of your older characters. Plus you have art of her and you recently did the story involving her and her friends

High-care... I had a feeling that her last name had a more Japanese sounding feel, like it's pronounced Hee-car-ray.

The picture and the description seem to have a few discrepancies. But they're mostly minor details.

Yeah, based on what I remember of the character, she didn't appear to have any interests or hobbies. It wasn't an issue back then, but it made it difficult to grasp her character. The devil is in the details and these details give me a Twilight Sparkle sort of impression.

Abilities are a bit bog standard, but they suit the character well enough.

The history at least explains a few things. Light on content, but there's enough info to give a good impression of the character.

I think we met around the Amaramis era and like you, this is the first one of your characters which I've met.

I admit it was a bit difficult stringing together all the details I've established about her over the years.

It was one of the reasons why I asked people like Amaramis for advice on how to piece together all of those details. I had a number of details for various things, but making it flow together was the difficult part. Some of the pieces didn't fit and had to be discarded, other details were transferred to other characters. But in the end, I had every single character fleshed out. Some more than others, but I'm happy with the solid foundations for all of them.

Wait, have we shifted to talking about something else?

Touma-the-Wolfdog In reply to sonicinterface [2018-05-11 19:14:45 +0000 UTC]

I don't think so, I was just talking about how Amaramis helped me to develop my 'core six', which was in response to how Mythril's development unfolded on your end. I'm guessing that you're confused about how the two incidents are alike since Chaosangel5, didn't exactly do the same thing. All she did was draw a picture of her wearing an expression that she normally doesn't have.

Coming back to your characters, would you do something like this for the other two members of Team Treble? Ozone the Pangolin and Copper the Bull.

Ozone and Copper had dedicated pictures and descriptions.  Mythril didn't even have that much.
