The Basics[/font][/size]
Name: Derpy Hooves
Nickname/Alias:Derpy/Derp
Species: Pegasus
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Group: Good Pony
Occupation: Mail Delivery/Post Office Pony
Appearance[/font][/size]
Fur/Mane/Tail: Derpy is a grey Pegasus Pony. Her fur and feathers are plain, and not much to speak of. Her mane and tail are blonde and messy, making cute little spikes this way and that. It's not particularly long, but is also not cut quite as short as other ponies do.
Clothes/Accessories: She usually doesn't carry anything other than the occasional mailbag
Cutie Mark: Bubbles, signifying her bubbly and happy attitude in spite of her clumsiness, and a reminder that everyone's anger is as delicate as a bubble, ready to be popped!
Overview: DEM EYES! Yes, Derpy's eyes are quite unique. They'yre always off center, and whenever you look away, they seem to be off center in some other way! However, they don't seem to hinder her vision beyond her natural clumsiness.
Personality[/font][/size]
Personality Description: Derpy is a clutz, but never pays it any mind. She's always apologetic, and enthusiastic about everything she does. However, her constant accidents have a tendency to get ponies angry, and when they finally end up venting on her, it usually gets her down.
Of course, that mood passes shortly, and before you know it, she's right back to making an even bigger mess, trying to make up for what she did. She can't seem to help her clumsiness, and sometimes stuff just happens around her like a curse. Despite the chaos she brings, she's really the lovable type and a hopeless optimist to the point of being completely childish. She loves making friends with everypony. She has a tendency to put her friends up on a pedestal, seeing how much better they are than her she is, but it doesn't seem to be out of self-depreciation than out of compliment.
Strengths:
- Faithful Mail Carrier
- Decent flyer (When there's nothing to crash into)
- Always sees the bright side of the situation (and the bright side of that one over there, too)

- Able to really take a beating (From her own accidents)
Weaknesses
- Accident-prone
- Clutz
- Slightly Impaired vision
- Childish
- Easily Distracted
Fears:
- Letting people down
- Causing serious damage with her clumsiness
- Not being forgiven
Magical Specialty/Abilities: (Not a unicorn, buuut) Accidents... Accidents EVERYWHERE!
History[/font]
History: Derpy was born and raised in Cloudsdale, and has always been known to be a screwup and a failure. She barely passed flight school, and even then, she was recommended to attend school a bit... closer to the ground, or at least where her accidents wouldn't interfere with the creation of the weather. So she reluctantly moved to Ponyville. She thought she could be a weather pony, just like most of the Pegasi in town... but after several thunderclouds caused massive damage to the town, she was fired. Likewise, she was also fired from her job as a mail pony, after too many poor innocent ponies were nearly crushed by dropped objects. Finally, with nothing left, Derpy stumbled across the old Ponyville post office. It was a simple job, not much damage that she could cause, and she would have a perfect excuse to meet new ponies! She was perfect for the job (or rather, vice-versa) And so, Derpy the Postpony donned her mailbag and began delivering letters!
Roleplay Sample: CRASH!
"Ooof... Ow... sorry about that Cheerilee..." Derpy Hooves rubbed her head, blinking a bit as her eyes reset into a new, equally silly setting. "Here, let me help you up." she offered a hoof helpfully, to which Cheerily hesitantly accepted.
"You really should be more careful Derpy" The mailpony barely caught that comment, as she was already rifling through her mailbag. "It's a good thing I bumped into you, I have a letter for you!" She happily presented it, delicately balanced on her hoof.
Once again, Cheerilee hesitated, but accepted the letter with a smile. "Thank you Derpy, that was awfully kind of you." Derpy's smile broadened and she gave a hoof-salute. "Just doing my job." she smiled, rearing up to take off. "Wait Derpy!" The teacher called out suddenly, surprised at her own nerves. In reality, she was looking at all of her students playing under the nearby trees, where limbs could easily be knocked down on top of them by a certain clutzy pony. "Umm... I mean..."
Derpy blinked, cocking her head in confusion.
"Why don't you take off over there, Derpy? It's a lot more clear for you, and I think I saw Rainbow Dash flying about over here. You don't want to end up crashing into her, do you?" she forces a huge convincing smile.
Derpy blinked, considering it for a moment. "Oh! Wait, Rainbow Dash is over there? I think I have a letter for her. OVER HERE RAINBOW DASH!" she called out, taking off from her current spot anyway. With a CRASH! and a wince from Cheerilee... Derpy luckily only managed to take out the schoolhouse's weather vane, to which she called out "Sorry! I'll be back to fix that!"
Cheerilee just sighed, shaking her head a she brought her letter back into the schoolhouse.
